About Our Featured Guest

The Walker of Light”
She walks through the world with her heart open wide,
With laughter and hugs always close by her side.
She watches, she listens, she knows when to speak—
A calm in the storm, a balm for the weak.
A plate full of breakfast or seafood delight,
She savors small moments from morning to night.
With YouTube to spark her soul’s elevation,
She feeds mind and heart with quiet dedication.
A deck in her hands, she reads what’s unseen,
Guided by spirit, both grounded and keen.
She’s not just a friend—you feel like you knew her,
A sister, a lighthouse, a soul-tuned soother.
This is MAIA - Lovely Beautiful Flower
