Part of my healing journey was to create a portfolio of my life that showcases my achievements in a way that a proud parent would adore their child, witnessing the moments in their lives that were important to them, no matter how small or big. I chose to do mine here online as an example to my flients who are on Namaste's Therapy Journey completing the same exercise. I've also doubled up and this is also part of my homework for the screenplay I'm putting together.
This task is especially cathartic for those who didn't have parents or anyone witnessing their evolution in the world, the ones that feel invisible! When those achievements go unnoticed, a person learns over time that what they do isn't important in their tribe and often can even fall silent and feel like being proud of their achievements is boastful, vain or they label it as stupid things and so they push it away, when in reality, anything we complete or overcome on Earth is a big deal, even getting your driver's license. Believe it or not, so many don't have this simple independence and will only ever dream of owning their own car. Worst still, when you believe that you have no value in your village, that's when toxicity starts to take over and in fact everyone has value and ideally we need to still actually shine, even if it's only for ourselves. Everyone's journey is both a magnificent and devastating one, and we really should be proud and adoring of ourselves for all we have been through to get us to the place we believe we are destined for.
This entire website is my life's work and and it will only exist for as long as I do, which isn't even a pin head on the timeline of Earth and it is digital, so it's not like ancient artifacts that would be dug up in the future to learn from the past. It will just vanish like I never existed. So why breathe in if you're just going to breathe out? It's just how the game of life is played and we are here to play without losing our souls in the process, so it is important to shine for ourselves, so we are proud of the scrapbook we made of our lives by the time we cross over and begin again some place else.
I personally enjoy formatting everything by timeline, so take a look at my journey and make your own for yourself in a way that makes you happy, perhaps a video, a scrapbook, an album, paintings, a song, a dance, a memoir? Whatever your craft, indulge in your milestones and memories with gratitude for yourself, your magnificent body, your magnificent brain, your magnificent soul and your magnificent Posse whose helped you get to where you are! Gratitude to Mother Earth and all the teachers of your journey. Enjoy a trip through My United States of Halimacowall xoxo

Career
My thirst for variety and need to know all about the things that interest me, together with survival mode, has lead me to exploring diverse industries that seem unrelated but all contributed to the success of the services I offer today as a whole. I am so grateful for all my teachers in throughout my home, socials, school and work, thank you for showing me the way! In order from latest to earliest.

Chaplaincy, My Earth Duty
After a massive devastation, I ended up with a chaplain who helped me find my feet again and I just knew that I could do the same for others, so my interfaith spiritual journey in peacemaking and theology began, which really helped me to channel my teachings and services in a way that is meaningful and useful to each individual. A chaplain is first responder lightworker peacekeeper who respects all life on earth and their boundaries, from humans to animals to creatures, to the land, water and air. Chaplains are trained to assess distress and lead in all spiritual matters of rescue, faith and right to exist in holistic way that considers the body, brain, soul, safety, balance and environment.

Marriage & Family
My job as a wife and mom began, so I really focused on building a family life outside of survival mode. We have had many highs and lows and sometimes we thought we may not make it, but we did what it took and made it work. I am always going to be grateful for where I've come from and what has come from me and I look forward to enjoying the rest of my life with my favourite people who make it all worthwhile. The is nothing like my son's humour, nothing like my daughters wisdom, nothing like my Alpha's support and there is no love like the love I experience from these souls.

High School
1992-1995
The minute my braces came off, I hit the ramp! I am very grateful to my mom and step dad for my braces. I really blossomed in high school. School was always about fundraising, you couldn't do anything without it, so I learned how to rally troops early to be able to do the things I wanted to do. Std 6 initiation (8th Grade) meant each class had to put on a performance on stage for all the matrics, to be auctioned off later to fundraise. Our class got The Little Mermaid and I was chosen as Ariel with sea shells on my hoo hoos and subsequently I was the most highest paid matric slave, bought for a blue R2 note! LOL! I mean all that doesn't happen anymore on account of being abusive. You couldn't enter Ms. Parkies without bringing in prizes and sponsorships as well as being involved in the set designs, so I really excelled at that and it was a dream come true to be a finalist, never mind actually placing. This was a big deal for me, who was like Rapunzel, stuck in a tower. My aunt made my dresses. I really wanted to enter Ms. South Africa, that was the big dream of how I was going to do my part to change the world, but alas, I fell pregnant in Std. 9 and had to leave school and give up my dreams of the ramp so I could be a mom, make money and survive. School was both awful and wonderful, I hated the academics and I loved the activities.

1994 Drummies National Champions - FPHS
A lot of these ladies are still friends today and if not friends, we still chat to each other. We are all over the world now, but if we were in the same country, no doubt we would be hanging out. A squad really bonds over training military style everyday together and then winning championships. It really was amazing to feel part of something for the first time in my life. Remembering all those who have crossed over... forever in our Drummy hearts!

This is me and my high school bestie, we were the youngest to make it through this round, it was our first time with the seniors and on the ramp, it was intimidating AF, but also so exhilarating. We even had a celebrity of that time, Scott Scott MCing for the night, it was totally glam!

LOLing at the before and after braces. The photos look this way because I used to have them in a typical mandatory 90's teenage collage that had to get deconstructed for this project.
Primary School
1985-1991
I discovered that my long legs were useful in sports as well as England Ireland Scotland Wales! My love for the excitement of fundraising events was ignited during this phase of my life. Because I was a bit of a loner, an outcast, an odd ball, who had very little social skills on account of being Rapunzel and moving to this school in Std 2 (4th Grade), I learned how creative and inventive I was and really enjoyed the group activities that were fun, but I enjoyed the solitary sports and projects as well, where I could measure my own progress and do my own thing. I met my first best friend Nina Mahner at my first primary school and miss her everyday, still to this day. I met my second best friend at my second primary school, who was also my next door neighbour, who lives in CT now.

Nursery School
1983-1984
My disciplinary record already began in nursery school when I was five years old. I used to wear other people's shoes home if I liked them and I also swapped my baking with someone else's if it was better than my baking and leave them mine. You couldn't make me do anything I didn't want to do. They battled to keep me quiet or to stay in class. I was already in love with story telling by this age and loved homework projects.

Thank you for giving me life
I have traced my patriarchal bloodline back to BC, but my mom's side only to her grandparents. It has been one of the best projects I've ever worked on because it sparked intense research and I learned so much about history, theology and generational behaviours and karma. I have disconnect from Mother on both sides of my bloodlines and I work everyday on clearing that generational trauma, with hopes that it ends with me.
