Aloha, and welcome to my place

A peek into my world

My name is Darien Blacksmith, and here is a peek into my world…

Above all else, I am a healer, it matters not what modality and or career are employed. My previous career was in the field of Massage Therapy. My previous collegiate studies were centered on nursing. If I can help people live fuller, healthier, and more satisfying lives, I am in! Since I am an empath, seeing others hurting compels me into action. I’ll listen, study, brainstorm, and anything else I can think of to give hope or relieve pain and despair. I am perpetually curious, love to learn more about, well, pretty much everything. I live, temporarily in Phoenix, AZ and have a bachelor’s degree in Positive Psychology. My plan is to now is to finish my Masters in Nursing and land somewhere tropical.

I was in a movie. What do you think?

A Nursing Beginning

A documentary short about a 57 year old woman who is hearing impaired chasing her dream to become a nurse. A single mother with two young kids was the first time she had to leave nursing school and the second time, because of her hearing loss, she was scared she would hurt a patient so she left school thinking it wasn't meant to be. Only to go after it one more time, now for a Masters of Science Nursing. Told from the authentic place you will root for her with all your heart.
