The other day, a client asked me, “Do you know anything about gratitude? And how does it work?” To which I replied… “Oh yes! Thank you for asking…gratitude does work!”
And of course… I didn’t just stop there… I continued on… with one of my long winded answers.
I just love it when people ask me questions… I tend to go on tangents and then always have to circle back and ask, “Did I answer your question completely?” I just get carried away with the winds of wisdom that blow on by with creative and fun answers that just hit me in the midst of conversations with clients, friends, and family.
So… it got me thinking this week… how can I talk about gratitude in a simple form to help us all elevate and expand our experience? Here goes…
I have to thank this client for asking me this question… little did this person know that they were my angel in disguise that day. As soon as I was asked the question, I knew that my team of lightworkers were laughing at me going… “You see how you need to practice what you already know!” I was drowning in my misery that day over several obstacles I kept running into! And then this person called me with a question in the midst of a frustrating experience I was having in that moment!
Here’s the back drop of the story:
This particular day, I was out running errands finding myself repeatedly frustrated. I was in the midst of changing over documents and signing papers at my local bank due to an official name change. I never knew that doing a name change could be such a COMPLICATED process!
As it seems, our society either assumes that if one is changing their name it is either because of a divorce or a marriage. To which I always had to further explain… neither… I just want to change my name to match more of who I am becoming… “Hmmm…I wondered if they thought I was crazy?” To which people mostly replied… “Why?”
I’m used to people asking me why… I usually have a different opinion than everyone else and seen as ‘curiously unusual’. It was becoming more and more clear to me that when I decided to walk down this path of a name change that I really was an ‘interesting genre’. LOL!
Energy clients usually come to me with issues that have been ongoing or seeking a fresh perspective to a complicated problem and they need motivation to help bring ‘light’ to the situation.
So, here I was faced with my own interesting situation that I had to bring in light. We tend to see things in either ‘black’ or ‘white’ and I like to see colors.
I changed my name because I had always wanted to have a name that expressed the energy that resonates from me… uniquely my own and not something that belongs to anyone or anything else. So to me, it was a way to honor my birth family and married family by becoming vibrationally more of what I came here to express. I recently was ordained a spiritual name and felt the desire to integrate it into my first and middle name independent of any prior last names… why? It felt right.
So here I was… trying to explain again why I was doing what I was doing… and why it matters.
We are based on vibration… everything we are, think, do, and say is based on a vibration that is within us and all around us. Our vibration attracts more of what we are. When we allow our vibration to keep climbing higher and higher we want the world around us and within us to reflect more of what we are at the current vibrational state. We feel it within us and all around us when we walk into a room, visit a town, a friend, family member, or institution. We are vibrational beings meant to express ourselves at our highest potential and what we feel, say, and do… matters. As we grow in conscious awareness our vibrations climb and our lights shine. In so doing we lift ourselves and the world around us as we become more of ourselves. We naturally feel better and the world around us reflects that. Soooo…. I wanted to change my name to the vibrational version of me that was emerging within me… and here I was trying to explain this to a bank… a difficult task to do in a few words…
So… after I had finished with the bank and trying to explain an unusual concept within me … I was feeling defeated… like I was having trouble expressing myself… and wondering what was happening within me… I felt like Pig Pen’s Charlie Brown character walking around with a cloud of rain over my head… like why doesn’t anyone see me? And then suddenly… this person called…. And asked me the question that helped me snap back into place…
Back to Gratitude… and how it works…
After I got off the phone and finished explaining why gratitude matters… I realized I was trapped and not feeling grateful for my current experience… and “Walla!!!!” It hit me… I was having trouble seeing myself clearly so the people around me were reflecting back to me what was unclear about me.
And then the light bulb went on… and I was SO THANKFUL for that seemingly difficult experience!
So… how does gratitude work?
Gratitude shifts your vibration. In all moments and every moment. As soon as you announce, “Thank you!” the universe responds with exciting enthusiasm back to you… you are announcing acceptance and the energy of higher awareness keeps moving towards you…. Even if the perceived event seems lower in vibration… the energy of the event automatically begins to change. It shifts into a higher vibrational state to match the new energy you are announcing to the world… even during a seemingly dismal outcome… the energy begins to get lighter. With an acknowledgement of this is happening ‘for me’ instead of ‘against me’. Everything is happening for us… everything is happening because we have something we are learning or saying to ourself repeatedly within us… we are like tuning forks walking around in the world. What comes to us is usually a vibrational match to our current state of awareness. If we are seeing darkness all around us, it’s usually because our vibration is asking us to get stronger within our light. Resonating on a high vibration can be a difficult adjustment at first. It challenges us to keep shifting and moving to higher states of being. It’s symbolic of the caterpillar transforming into a butterfly. We need to work within ourselves to build our high vibrational tune so that we can transform our world into what we are longing to become… a butterfly uniquely our own… or maybe it is a tadpole into a frog… or any metaphor will do. We all have a metamorphosis and why not allow ourselves to just go there? Our vibrations do not match on purpose and we are here to respectfully create our world to become more of who we are and not what others believe us to be. Nothing is wrong with that, and everything is RIGHT with that!
Sometimes, the universe throws us an experience because we have big things to learn and sometimes it allows us to flow effortlessly because we have matched our new vibrational level and we are celebrating the vibration of our metamorphosis.
So just remember… expressing gratitude always brings more gratitude and higher states of awareness. So whether you acknowledge a deceivingly difficult time in your life with acceptance and gratitude or you are genuinely elated by achieving something monumental in your life… tune into the many colored versions of gratitude and just say “thank you” no matter what. Allow yourself to become the diamond that is emerging within you.
And there is nothing more fun and joyful than living with clarity of what we love and expressing who we are in ways that allows others to be expressions of more of what they love in their way.
To become Strong as Diamonds… allow your diamond to take shape.
Blessings,

Thoughts are things. They have an energy. A force upon them that can either be good for us or not so good for us. Let’s just say there are many shades of gray but there is only light. There are many forms of light consciousness and they all become one form… light. There are many forms of gray consciousness and they all become more gray. Imagine this… when you put light together as in layers upon itself… it becomes more light. It just shines and yet it shines ever so brighter. Brighter and brighter and brighter… It just keeps becoming more of itself. In the process of becoming more light it allows light to penetrate through every obstacle and anything perceived less than itself. It keeps becoming more… effortlessly moving into various places only penetrable by the light. Only light can go where it has never been before. It does not harm, and it does not force, it just is. It doesn’t make anything turn into itself… it shines a light on the darkest of places so that everything can be seen. It illuminates awareness and sight. It shows us what was there all along. That it has been there all along…just waiting to penetrate deeper and deeper. Light transforms darkness, gives us the opportunity to see and be seen, and then it is our choice to become more light or not. To be or not to be. That is the question, is it not? Once we see, once we awaken to higher and higher forms of light we can never return to what was once there. The darkness forever goes and no matter how hard we try to make the light go away… it just grows.
This is just as true for gray… gray matter collectively becomes more gray and then just becomes darkness. It covers like a blanket of deep darkness as it slumbers us into a state of unconscious. That’s ok. We can accept this, because sometimes we need the darkness. We need to rest, recover, and blend in. To just be in a state of being with nothing to be, do, or know. We accept this… and we continue. We eventually remember, it’s only a blanket, temporarily covering our light. When we return to who we are, the blanket is removed. And when we know this we realize our world is full of these polarities. We can see the beauty in all of it, that’s when we truly awaken. We see that there has always been something guiding us towards this balance. This perfect dance that we do to truly encompass all that we are. It’s only when we fear the darkness & fear the fear itself that we limit ourselves the experience of going through the darkness. Within the dark there are lessons to learn, experiences to feel, and sensations to learn. And only through respect for the darkness can we return once again to more of what we would like to become.
Many of us, most of us are some spectra of light. There are times when it seems as though darkness has taken over forever, and this is just the illusion. The illusion of polarity. We seek to return to the balance and even pure light travels into dark places just as dark ones eventually seek to return to the light. It’s all the same just polarity taking its course in many shades of gray. Eventually becoming light.
Quite honestly, I enjoy polarity. I enjoy one spectrum versus the other and sometimes I need a little dark to understand who I truly am… pure light. Eventually, this will no longer be so. I will continue to walk the path of light and just continue to be more light without the dark. Only with one purpose, to be the light for others to do the same and to see the consciousness within themselves that has always been there. Just like Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz… the magic was always there, your ruby slippers were always the way home dear one, you just needed the journey to understand who you truly are; light.
If you are looking for more… to be more, experience, more and to become more of that which you believe yourself to be I invite you to experience light in many forms… all spectrums of light… here are just a few ways… ongoing possibilities available to you and my honor to offer to you.
10 minutes to inspire your intuitive abilities… this is an excerpt from the ‘Becoming Intuitive’ program accessible as a ‘study on your own’ with 1:1 personal support from me. Enjoy the gift…
Many of us just want to know… “How do we become conscious and intuitive in every moment?”
Only in the awakening, can we become the consciousness that resides intuitively within us.
As we become conscious and intuitive in nature, we recognize that our true power comes from the sensations of the body, which naturally tunes us into this knowing. This is the self-connected internal knowing recognized as the triad of consciousness spoken about earlier. It is not necessary to have all our energy systems in our body perfectly aligned nor must we be well versed in metaphysical concepts. Rather it is more helpful to NOT have any type of metaphysical or spiritual background. When we have studied and become well versed in metaphysical, religious, or spiritual concepts we run the risk of ‘knowing it all’. We run the risk of already knowing everything and having all the answers. We stop believing. This is the mind keeping us limited. This work is not for the mind. The minute we ‘know it all’ we lose our connection with consciousness. In this work we know nothing with the mind and the sensations of our body become the keys to our release.
Through sensation we can resolve and release that which is unknown to us, which keeps us where we are. In essence the key is to sense that things are already ‘taken care of’ because we are tuned into and tapped into something greater than us. Even if we do not know what that is or believe that there is something greater, we still receive help and we still receive our shift in consciousness. Conscious intuition is without the mind. It is guidance felt through the heart and opening us to an expansion unidentified by form. It surprises us with humble confirmation that as we follow our ‘knowing’ we come across answers to dilemmas that are beyond our rational mind.
For example, some very important information came to me for over a month about ‘narcissistic’ personality traits. I did not know why I was receiving this information, nor did I understand the connections at first. I simply found myself very aware that I kept receiving this information from various sources. Simultaneously, there was a certain person in my life I felt was not completely genuine and I understood I did not need to judge. Instead, I remained present with an open heart. Later, I began to realize, before a ‘partnership’ advanced with this person, that I was dealing with a narcissist personality. Throughout this experience, I sat with myself in the not knowing of what was unfolding before me, and allowed the experience to happen. There were many instances that felt confusing during our interactions. Why was it that in some situations this person felt life affirming and in other situations it felt consuming and depleting? Why was it that my ears heard what they were saying but the energy behind their words was of a different intention? I continued to sit with myself, breathe through these confusing moments of fear, and allowed my insecurities and feelings of instability to rise up to the surface of my being. I never asserted myself from a place of needing to be right no matter how I felt. I remained neutral and unreactive. I waited and sensed within what was next before going forward. Through simply confirming the conscious intuitive knowing from within and following through with ‘NO’ action I received answers and found the solutions to my dilemma.
I affirmed ‘no action’ by not going further with a partnership. What this person was promising verbally was not truthful and conscious intuition was clearly guiding me to walk away; no matter what resistance I encountered. My resistance was the clearing that needed to happen of a learned belief stored away in my past and no longer serving my world today. My heart felt contracted and tight. My guides showed me nothing every time I asked for them to show me the next steps to take. I received nothing and therefore was to do nothing. Believe me…this was a true test of my ability to allow the embodied 6th sense to reveal the reality of the situation. This ‘spiritually enlightened person’ was not to be trusted. Things are not always what they appear to be. I later learned that if I had gone forward with a partnership there would have been much deception and financial strain. Our intuition knows the truth behind all actions and senses this through the heart of consciousness. It is sometimes very quiet, and it is always there in truth.
Ultimately, we may begin to understand our outer experiences are a representation of our subconscious beliefs. When we finally realize and wake up to our awareness, we begin to embrace a powerful part of ourselves. As we practice, the illusion of searching falls away. We are no longer unconsciously searching to confirm our old beliefs and conform to the outside. In essence we are being where we are with our truest intentions because we are more in line with our authentic self. We are the being. It is in here that we embrace our soul’s purpose.
The person who is sweeping streets may be more consciously alive and in tune with their purpose than the person who is working the stock market and making millions of dollars. It all depends on where we are and if we are in alignment with our truth. Do we need confirmation and conformity or can we exist in our current relationships with our own awakened connection?
When my child throws a tantrum on the floor of the grocery store is my love for them dependent on their behavior or does it always exist. Am I able to hold myself in that love and come from a place of consciousness to help them or am I troubled and caught up in the situation trying to control their behaviors? We do this in relationships. When there is a discussion between two people. Can we be in our conscious knowing that what is happening within us has nothing to do with the other person but rather something of our own that is bubbling up to be revealed. If we remain conscious, we connect in moments of fear and love without judgment and with invested interest that we are working towards a greater cause. The light of our consciousness never fails. It does not control, and it does not judge. It holds no grudges, nor does it resent and place itself in a form of self-defense. It shines in complete acceptance of itself and the world around.
A flower that grows in the forest does not dwell on the idea that it may be the only flower for miles in a sea of trees and tall grasses. It grows where it is in a state of unconditioned reverence for its existence where it is. We are the experience. Our state of being determines nothing and everything at the same time. Our desire for consciousness determines nothing. When we are being, we realize that all that is happening has nothing to do and no way to control. It just is.
Here is your practice for the day…
With every situation, which arises, and every condition that happens…be. Just be. Offer no advice or try to determine the best outcome to take. Just allow things to unfold on their own with a state of conscious peace. If a business partner is unraveling frustration over a situation and is looking for approval from you to make a decision to go in a direction that is unclear…then just pause.
Pause…breathe…excuse yourself…and take a walk. This is possible. In a moment that one must make a decision because it is a life-threatening situation we need to act without hesitation, for sure. This is NOT what I am referring to. In these cases, our survivor instincts kick in and we are to follow through for sure. I am speaking of the idea that we do not need to make decisions when someone else is pressuring us to do so because of their perceived time frame. We must sense our way and feel what is happening within us. Connect in our triad of super consciousness and become our purpose in every moment. Ask yourself, “Am I living my purpose in this moment? How can I be in this moment and be aligned with my highest purpose? How do I remain aligned right now? How do I become more in tune with the true purpose in my life? Who am I in this moment? Who am I truly? Who am I?”
One may continue to wonder, “Why we ask so many questions directed at the self and our own actions?” Well, the only thing we have control over in our life is ourselves. Even our own self-perceived control is a mystery. When we come to this level of consciousness, we come to the realization we control nothing and the only power we have is in a triad with all that is. We are connecting and being in every moment. No matter what. When we pause to ask ourselves the questions, we also find that our heartbeat slows down, our vision opens up, our ears keenly become aware of our surroundings and our digestion rests where we are. We become one with timelessness and understand that the perception of urgency is not based on anything but human creation. That in the realm of space and time there really is no space and time. It is here that we have access to all possibility. It is in this moment that the connections are happening all around us and our new reality lines up.
When we realize there is a human unconsciousness that is always trying to figure things out, we are in that state, always. We never allow for miracles, and we never allow for any other possibilities because we are energetically sending out the message to the universe that ‘we’ve got this all figured out already’ and ‘we don’t need the help’. Thus, we have intentionally cut off the supply of miracles, which now has no room to show up. When we pause and respond in a new way of being that is heart centered, we detach from the collective unconscious. In that detachment we automatically begin to realign with something greater, conscious, and intuitive.
Imagine unplugging from the collective unconscious of the business entity on purpose. We unplug ourselves so that we can lead in a higher way. When we unplug, we are allowing ourselves to fly above situations and see from the bird’s eye view. If we are so attached to the collective unconscious of that entity we can never actually see from outside the picture. We are always inside the framework of what we perceive to be happening and thus remain in the box full of ideas that are only available where we are. When we unplug and allow ourselves to breathe, walk, tune in, and separate in a way that connects us to our intuitive consciousness, we are tuning into something bigger than all of us. We are aligned with consciousness that has the highest and best interest for everyone and everything and then we allow for the highest and best possible outcome to be available to us. We may not understand ‘how’ or know ‘why’, at first. But this is the process of opening and becoming reconnected. Remember, the journey always unfolds exactly as it is supposed to. As we reconnect to ourselves, we reconnect to allowing flow back into our live. We are guided and directed. We lead others as we are led in a new way. We are that which we seek, as we trust, the path will unfold. It’s in the attempt to find, that we keep searching. When we cease from searching, we finally realize we were already there.
Today. Our mission is to continue to merge with consciousness. Walk amongst nature. Sit with a flower. Be with the Earth. Feel the sensations of consciousness all around. In the wind, the trees, the grass, the flowers, the smells, etc. Be with the aliveness all around. It is in the fish within the fishbowl, the dog near you, and the plant by your bedside table. It is the aliveness that is the living consciousness in everything. If you can take some time to sit with a tree…close your eyes and imagine yourself merging with her. Be in the tree…imagine yourself being the tree trunk and expanding your arms up to the sun and your legs running deep into the Earth. Be. Be the grass. Be a blade of grass… reaching high to the sky and rooted within the dirt below. Wave with the wind. Feel the expansion. The aliveness of nature is the aliveness of consciousness. It is all around us.
Bring nature into your home. Have potted plants in the office to remind you of who you are. Find rocks to place around, these are the elements of this great universe, and decorate the computer screen with mountains, and streams, and organic materials. Be connected to all that is and allow reminders all around the environment. This fosters connection to the world within and subtly fosters the knowing that everything that is in this world is not of this world. You are not of this world and certainly we all will be going to another place when we are gone. Ask yourself, “What is my purpose? Who am I meant to be and am I becoming what I am? What is this? Who am I? How do I know this?” In asking these questions…don’t wait for answers just sense the aliveness within and around you. Continue to ask, ‘Do posing these questions arise any unsatisfied emotions? In posing these questions do I feel a shift in how I relate to others? Has my perception as to what is important and non-important changed? In asking these questions do I feel any different about life? Am I able to connect with the world around me in a new light?’
In posing these fundamental questions of existence we are in essence acknowledging the action in non-action. This is how conscious intuition can help us be more productive than the mind alone. When we merge with consciousness we are disconnecting from the collective unconscious, and we then can lead guide and direct from a far greater evolutionary position than anyone has ever been able to do before.
People begin to look at us differently because they can feel a shift. Those that are beginning waking up to their own consciousness may be very inquisitive. They may ask what we have been doing and how come we look so much better. We may not notice the shifts in ourselves, but they will. Some that are fear based will wonder if we are ok and if we need to talk to someone about what is going on in our life. Just smile and thank them for their concern and assure them you have never felt clearer about your life and the purpose of your work. Most people will be curious of your newfound strength and peace. Your openness to creativity will produce inspired answers to problems that came from something outside of the unconsciousness that was residing in the current institution that you work. Your contributions will be conscious and different. Consciousness is in everyone and everything and when it begins to wake up it spreads easily and fast as if you turned a light on in a room. Remember, you are not shifting anyone, and it is not your job to preach what they should do. Your path is your own and theirs is their path. We spread the inspiration and intuitive consciousness by being this ourselves and connecting at heart-to-heart levels with everyone around us no matter what. We accept everyone for who they are, and we attempt to change no one. This is truly conscious and heart full living. This is living without ego and without the form-based perception that most of humanity is attached to. We are formless. When we leave the Earth, we do not take our bodies with us. The aliveness is no longer in the body that we left but that does not mean we are not alive.
Today, just for now. Be. Merge with your consciousness by purposefully being in nature to merge with nature and practice in the most complex situations that may emerge in relationships throughout your day. Practice many of the techniques we have learned the past 3 weeks. Keep merging with your life as an intuitive tapped in and tuned into ‘being’. IN-Joy life. In-Joy-Ing life is the being of joy. So, In-joy today.
When complex situations emerge… take care of yourself…take a breath, excuse yourself, walk, give yourself space and a moment to allow yourself to merge again with your spirit. Then come back without an answer. There is no need to force, and everyone has the right to moments. It is one of the greatest gifts to give our self and our emergence into a conscious life.
Today is about merging. Tomorrow we will practice how to be one with this newfound awareness and we will practice opening to more enlightened ways of listening and tuning into our connection.
Today’s Mantra
Just for now, in this now moment, I merge with consciousness.
Just for now, in this now moment, I merge with consciousness.

Within our hearts we experience a universal love vibration. Here is where we open to feelings of the awareness of a consciousness which supersedes anything we may experience in our daily interactions. There are no lower emotions attached to the heart coming from a dysfunctional solar plexus, low naval, or sacrum area. We have balanced and engaged our lower three chakras in a way that brings complete understanding of who we are and what we are here to experience within our lives. We love ourselves completely which allows us to love others just the same. We place no expectations on others. We do not react to the world around us. Rather we respond in a loving manner comprehending the greater good in all situations. Loving and being loved is a transcendental state of higher awareness opening us to the cosmic law of prosperity. The more we give; the more we receive. The more we love the divine within ourselves; the more we love the divine within others. The more we are able to open to the divine of all. The more the divine is able to show up in ways that seem miraculous to our every day existence. This is the magic of light consciousness, of pure bliss, and oneness with your Creator.
Our hearts, at the center of our chests, feel everything. We are sensations. When we tune into this love force, we can experience it all. Low and high vibrations. As we learn to discern and shed the lower emotions that tend to control and interpret life, we learn to open to the miraculous which has no defined existence and allows for the transcendence of everything in our lives. We learn to love ourselves, opening to true love for all. We can finally see, feel, and sense what it means to love truly. This love is unattached to any person, place, or thing. We share with no strings attached. We feel balanced, clear, and open to both giving and receiving.
Within the lower chakras, if not resolved, is where life can feel messy, confusing, constricted, and unfair. We tend to place blame on the outside world ignorant of the realization that these are reflections of what we must resolve within. This does not mean we stay where we are and become the victim or martyr of the world around us. Love brings us to a new state of awareness allowing us to speak with clarity, claim our power, and shift our lives into a new state of being fully aligned with our desires.
We realize that this life is filled with the opportunities to experience higher awareness in every person, place or thing. As we experience the higher vibrations of love consciousness, we draw more of these experiences to us and we begin to fill our lives with that which we desire and less of which we are willing to endure through obligations.
The old ways of insecurity, distrust, scarcity, isolation, abandonment, rigidity, jealousy, resentment, frustration, and judgement slowly erupt until we just can’t take it anymore. We find it unbearable to live this way and we finally allow ourselves to become more. We shed the struggle of ourselves, our families, and our societies and we realize there is so much more to experience.
Many of our societies are built around these lower dysfunctional emotions. It is rampant. It is engaged within almost every rule, every judgement, every societal decision based on the idea we must keep law and order otherwise we will have a very unsafe and chaotic world full of crime, disease, and scarcity.
When we transcend the lower emotions within ourselves and teach others to do the same, we finally return to the heart. We naturally inspire good, live fully, and unconditionally share with the world. If everyone was able to forgive and release the lower emotions within themselves, they would begin to see a completely new world unfold before them.
It only begins with one, and then as the second person joins them the miraculous journey of prosperity and bliss for the community unfolds before them.
With an open heart, we can bring new meaning to our lives, live unconditionally, and love prosperously.
Mastering the lower realms and understanding the ability to transcend it all can take lifetimes to accomplish. Or it can miraculously happen today. It’s all up to us to desire to believe there is another way and then to seek this new way. We are in a constant state of awareness pressing forward to ascend it all. Sometimes it may feel contracted and gray and other times the expansion cannot be contained. It is a symbiotic process always unfolding before us. It’s the great meaning of Creator… to create, to destroy, and to create again.
Through acceptance, surrender, and the desire for more we begin to understand the importance of Be – ing, see – ing, and sense – ing. We see through all the veils and the illusions within our own lives fall aways. We embrace compassion, detachment, and the gift of our life path.
We come fully into Intuitive Love.
It is truly a state of surrender to a higher love with no containers or boundaries. Even our imaginations cease to comprehend how vast and strong the ocean of awareness can be as we deeply unveil the endless vastness of an all providing universe of limitless prosperity and manifestations present everywhere.
Then we know we have found our true calling; to live unconditionally, to love fully, and let go of it all.
To Become IntuitLove.
If you are looking to experience more love and manifest a life of living through the heart, I encourage you to allow yourself to continue to learn and seek more.
Educate yourself and never stop learning.

I have a friend who never says goodbye to his adult children. They always end their visits with a ‘see you soon!’ When I heard this, I was immediately inspired. ‘What a great concept’, I thought. They have such a relationship that ending their departure is that much easier if they just begin to imagine their next visit together through, ‘see you soon’. This got me thinking…
When we begin to imagine ourselves differently and what we want to create in our lives we begin to energetically move towards our dream. No matter what. The universe will never deny our requests. It only seeks to be in alignment with us. And we have to be in alignment with what we wish to create.
Simply said, this father and daughter have created a way to continue their relationship and energetically create their next visit by purely ending their visits with, ‘see you soon’. They both are in alignment with what they want and as such, their next visit together is already being created. Their cords keep running back and forth from each other and they consciously and subconsciously are creating even though they may be miles apart.
It got me thinking further… how many of us pay attention to this small and yet profoundly simple process? How many of us know how powerful the word is and how powerful our thought processes are? How many of us spend that much time thinking about this. And then I thought, not many of us do think about this, and yet again I realized, that’s why I do think about these things.
It’s what I do. I always look at energy and decide how we are connecting or not connecting to what we want or what we think we need. How are we in alignment with what we want and what is happening on a day to day basis to get us there? I’m always pondering, how are my actions lining up with my goals and aspirations and what might I be doing or not doing to line up with what I believe I want?
Simply put, these two people know that it is hard to say goodbye, and they have agreed to keep their relationship connected while they are apart by three simple words, ‘see you soon’. Thus, they have created an energetic bond that keeps them in alignment with each other to create their next reunion. They even are energetically supporting and inspiring each other just through their common goal they both freely unite upon. It’s amazing how a simple agreement in alignment with both of their highest vibrations just never fails.
I know, I know… I’m thinking too much about this. But am I? Really, am I? Think about it… if we could all have these types of relationships where we could freely have conscious commitments with each other understanding our energy and our words are that powerful… could you imagine how empowered we would be? Could you possibly imagine how much powerful we would feel if we could be alignment with what we truly wanted all the time? In addition, if we had the tools and resources to support this? In essence we could be powerfully supported and lead guided and directed in all of our actions if we could just be alignment with what we truly wanted.
Simply, father and daughter, know they can’t be together all the time but know they don’t want to be apart either. So they have consciously decided to keep their relationship going energetically until their cords can pull them closer again physically.
Now how many of us know that we do this on a daily basis even with things that we don’t want? This brings me to my next thought… how many of us are unconsciously drawing to us what we don’t want until we can’t take it anymore and have to wake up to what we keep doing to ourselves?
I did that for a really loooooooong time and I still find myself doing that from time to time. These are called life lessons in many traditions. And I also like to see them as energy.
Maybe entertain the possibility that we all have lessons to learn but do we need to keep learning them from a lesser way through the lower vibrations of shame, resentment, defeat, struggle, and survival? Many of us keep repeating the same habits because we are caught in these energies of thought forms or cords that keep us bound to the difficult way of doing things. But why do we do this to ourselves?
Any number of reasons why… maybe we learned how to struggle or survive as a victim or martyr from our parents. Maybe we were taught to do this the hard way through authority figures and our communities. Maybe it was our religious beliefs or the rules and regulations that were put on us through our institutions. Maybe.
And if we don’t at least look at why we keep doing these things and feeling this way, we end up remaining where we are repeating the same scenarios in our life until we just either have to awaken or we slowly die trying. I prefer the awakening process.
Which always leads me to my next thought… how do I do this? How do I create something new without holding onto the old that is not working anymore? Well, to me, we just simply have to say, ‘goodbye’. Permanently. We have to believe we deserve the miracle of shifting the energy, that we do not need to suffer anymore, and we just have to allow the old ways to die. Some of us are really good at saying goodbye to old ways and some of us take a little more time. It’s just who we are. Some of us like to say ‘see you soon’ even though we should be saying ‘goodbye’ because we don’t know how to just let go, permanently.
And, that’s what I do. I like to permanently say ‘goodbye’ to things that no longer help me thrive and ‘see you soon’ to those that do. Which takes me to the next thought… how do we discern what to let go and what to hang on?
We just let go of everything… we become untethered and hold no expectation to something the way we think it should be and instead allow for life to unfold before us. Meaning we accept we control nothing and we open. In that unfolding we become the gems that have been waiting to shine.
But, like saying ‘goodbye’, we sometimes just don’t like this. We don’t like things to be different and we don’t like how it feels to shed the control and move into something new. There may be all sorts of reasons for this… old patterns and behaviors that are no longer working but we don’t know how move on and create new ones. These are the cords I spoke about earlier. These are the cords that are not serving us that we have to permanently release and resolve so they don’t keep showing up in new relationships that are just a repeat of the old patterns. How do we know this is happening? Well, it’s because we keep feeling the same no matter what we do to improve our lives… it’s just not working.
It’s like we are unconsciously saying, ‘see you soon’ to a bully that keeps showing up to traumatize us because we are attached to fear and lower forms of thinking. We’re not doing this on purpose… it’s just something we don’t really address on a daily basis and it is certainly not a part of anyone’s day to day dinner conversations. Or at least this is true for most people.
So what do I do when I come up with patterns that don’t serve me and I keep stumbling? I sit with it, I feel it in the body, I see what the story is that I have created around it, and I permanently say ‘goodbye’. I energetically forgive and release it and make sure it is dissolved and resolved.
This is self care of the highest form of love that says ‘goodbye’ to what is not serving our highest purpose and potential so we can achieve our own self mastery. Then we can fully show up for others and be there in a way that helps us all. Then we are no longer living off the dramas and the addictions of ourselves and others and we are fully showing up. This allows our lights to shine and we can become more, give more freely, and have more to refill and pass along to others.
And if your not sure how to say ‘goodbye’ or when to say ‘see you later’ and how to know the difference… that’s what I do. I coach you on how to discern the difference. Then on how to make your life show up differently in all areas.
From relationships to family, career to prosperity, health to spirit.
So next time your wondering ‘what is happening?’, ‘why do I keep doing this?’, or ‘how can I do this differently?’, think about either a simple one to one session or an entire coaching experience.
I do both.
And next time you are deciding between ‘see you soon’ and ‘goodbye’ reflect on your goals and intentions and tune into the power of your words and actions. You just might simply be able to discern and truly know for yourself what serves your highest self. And then you can consciously choose when to say ‘see you soon’ and when to permanently say ‘goodbye’.
I hope you enjoyed this blog… here are some up-coming events and links to my schedule and appointments.
Awakening can happen in many forms at many times in one’s life. Right now, there is a mass awakening happening across the globe. As you know, our lives have been filled with fears and insecurities for several years now. They seem to come in the form of illness, poverty, disease, and the crumbling of societies. As such, these are seemingly large-scale upheavals happening across the globe. They are real to many. Full of fear and full of sacrifice. This is true to this collective matrix in society. And I encourage you to look outside of the collective matrix. Simply, just go within. What happens when we don’t tune into what is happening out there. We begin to know ourselves within here. Within the heart. It is here that we come across the truth of who we are. Underneath all the layers on the surface is an internal knowing that there is a power so deeply ingrained within us that it has the power to heal the sick, feed the hungry, and bring prosperity to the land. It’s in there.
It requires an awakening of the one and the second person to join them that really encourages new growth and prosperity on this land.
We are not made to suffer.
We are not made to die.
We are not made to fall victim to anything in our lives.
All the answers are there… laying dormant in the heart and just waiting your awakening.
Take comfort now… in the mass awakening that is happening. For in the depths of the darkness the brightest lights will shine.
That’s what happened to me. It was dark for so long. There was a depth of unexplainable despair within that could not be seen or touched by the outside world and only deeply felt within the heart.
And what happens when we allow ourselves to feel such trepidation and fall fully into our own madness? We learn of the sacred sanctity of the power we all have, to go within and evolve into something greater and more expanded than ever before.
We become that which we are truly meant to be. Limitless lights of consciousness perfectly designed to awaken to an energy that lay dormant in the depths of the darkness within us, when activated shoots up to our consciousness an illumination so bright that it has the capacity to heal nations.
It’s happening.
The awakening will continue to take over this next year. It will be amazing. People are coming into their own personal power at proportions unlike any that has ever been seen yet.
The question is… will you continue to allow your serpent to awaken?
The fiery depths of the sleeping spirit within you. Will you allow the dragon to emerge into consciousness and awaken within you and all around you.
All you must do is set your intentions to awaken and it will happen.
Understandings come in that are beyond comprehension.
It begins with a whisper, is felt with a nudge and explodes the silence with a volcano spirit meant to disrupt the unconscious and force consciousness to return to our societies.
Our nations.
Our planet.
Pay attention, to what is happening to within you and listen to the call.
It’s here. There is no more avoiding it.
We must face ourselves, look deeply within and allow our truth to emerge. It’s the only way we bring heaven back to this planet.
I believe that our journeys do not need to be difficult or hard.
I believe that we do not need to suffer to gain knowledge and insight.
I believe we do not need to fight to make a change.
I believe that we do not need to make others see to get our way.
I believe that duality is an illusion.
I believe there is another way.
I believe we are here to dismantle the illusions that have covered up our hearts.
I believe that inner work is the way to shifting our outer world.
I believe that if everyone believed in themselves and loved themselves unconditionally, they would understand the presence of love within themselves, and this would orchestrate the world to shift to a new level of consciousness simply on its own.
I believe that dismantling the thoughts and beliefs within the “i” self is the only path that helps us understand the meaning of ‘know thyself’ and the path of the “I Am”.
I believe that love in the all-knowing and encompassing peaceful sense of the word is the power that is ultimately connected and will handle it all.
I believe that miracles come from within and then inspire and enlighten a new path of light within the consciousness of groups and societies.
I believe that love is a majorly misunderstood vibration that we have never allowed ourselves to sense, know, and fully embody its true unlimited power.
I believe in unlimited thought, imagination, creativity, joy, and ideas that elevate and enhance our well-being in masterful ways incomprehensible to the mind.
I believe if we continue our own individual paths of self-healing, we will collectively influence the healing of our world.
I believe that you as the individual are that powerful.
And yes, I believe in LOVE. Not in the sense that creates a soft and rather nurturing place to fall or stay. Yes, that is part of it… But I truly believe that love knows NO BOUNDARIES and when we feel limits within us, it is truly a calling to elevate, enlighten, and lift ourselves from the illusions. This may take work at overcoming the fears associated with the illusion and yet again, the belief that it is going to be difficult is an illusion itself.
I believe in love.
I believe in love so powerful it has the power to walk through villages and towns to create health and relieve sickness and pain just by its mere presence.
I believe in love and its ability to hold strong in the face of adversity by its own peaceful power that is reverent, fully connected, and ONE with something greater than we could ever imagine ourselves.
I believe in love that is the oceans, a love that is the mountains, the trees, the land, the beings, and the spirits that walk this earth. It is the love that is within each of us.
I believe when we surrender to this knowing, we surrender to something capable of everything and thereby dismantling the illusions all at once.
I believe in love.
I believe when we come together to be the light, we spread wisdom only felt intuitively within the heart. This inspires us to be different, inspires us to rethink different, inspires us to want differences and, in this beautiful tapestry of difference we are creating, we will remember that it all began from going within. Just like it did when we first came here as a baby. WE SOAKED IT ALL UP IN ANTICIPATION OF AN INCREDIBLE MAGICAL WORLD.
I BELIEVE IT’S STILL THERE AND IT IS YOU AND IT CAN BE NOTHING BUT WHAT WE ARE ALREADY.
I BELIEVE WE ONLY NEED TO TURN THE LIGHTS ON WITHIN OURSELVES, OUR OWN THOUGHTS AND BELIEFS AND DISMANTLE WHAT IS NO LONGER HELPFUL OR SERVING US SO THAT WE CAN FREE OURSELVES TO SEE THAT WE ARE ALREADY LIVING IN THE NEW WORLD.
Remember… Awakening happens in many forms at many times in one’s life.
In every one of us.
It’s there.
Feel it.
We are not made to suffer.
We are not made to die.
We are not made to fall victim to anything in our lives.
All the answers are there… laying dormant in the heart and just waiting your awakening.
Take comfort now… in the mass awakening that is happening. For in the depths of the darkness the brightest lights will shine.
We become that which we are truly meant to be. Limitless lights of consciousness perfectly designed to awaken to an energy that lay dormant in the depths of the darkness within us, when activated shoots up to our consciousness an illumination so bright that it has the capacity to heal nations.
The question is… will you continue to allow your serpent to awaken?
We are now in the point of light consciousness where it is pivotal to go within. If you are striving towards something you want to bring into your life or wondering how to shift your current state of awareness… NOW is a pivotal time to be focused on just that.
As we transition from the winter solstice… going from the darkest point of the year, coming into a new moon (the darkest sky of the month), and beginning the sacred wise and transformative season of miracles. Thus, it is imperative we decide what we want to bring into our lives. Reading this means you are full of awareness. Thus, it is time to begin the planning and manifesting of your next transformation into spring.
We have an enormous opportunity for change in a positive and light filled direction if we can recognize our ability to shift. We are doing it, consciously & unconsciously all the time. Unfortunately, most of us are reacting to what is showing up around us instead of going within, shifting from the inside and then the world bends and shifts to our conscious, heart filled, integral desires.
This requires commitment to a practice, conscious understanding we are connected to something bigger than us, and confidently pursuing in the direction of our heartfelt dreams…no matter what. ‘No matter what’ is where the work for us comes in. We must be willing to shift. We must be willing to resolve and release for all past karma we have created in order to welcome in our desired destiny. It’s only requirement is the contemplative desire, clear vision, conscious commitment, and connected knowing. Then we create our world, no matter what comes up for us.
In the shadows is where the light shines.
In the shadows of all are doubts, angst, procrastination, hurts, wrongs, failures, and short comings is where the diamonds emerge.
When we gloss over, accept the breadcrumbs as ‘good enough’, or can not even imagine how to shift we are faced with an overbearing OPPORTUNITY. This is the golden moment our soul is calling for us to go deeper. NOT TO GIVE UP.
Digging up the rocks and tilling the fields can be hard work if we do it alone. When we learn of a process that makes it obtainable to grow crops an easier way… we become the way.
Our internal seeds know what needs to be done. Our external world may seem limited. And that is exactly the illusion we are faced with dismantling.
We all have a soul purpose and a spirit’s joy. Let’s uncover this together.
We all have the light that shines from within illuminating the darkest of times. Let’s unify with the all-encompassing sun.
We all have the eye of truth living within us. Let’s discover the lasting relationship with this internal wisdom.
I invite humanity to rediscover the version of light that is truly illuminating right now. Not the version we are told exists and only the version that is experienced and sensed and known by the very experiences of awakening to the eternal powers lay dormant in us all.
Meaning, there is a version of our reality that is already healthy, spiritually connected, prosperous, illuminated, unified, and one.
We can heal and create career visions and dreams. We can heal and create financial prosperity and illuminated abundance. We can heal and create healthy body and mind. We can heal and create spiritual connection and oneness. We can heal and create outstanding relationships. We can heal and create unified families. We can heal and create a personal reconciliation with thyself.
It is all possible. It all happens. It all will shift in this now moment. If we begin now.
I encourage you to allow shifts to happen, allow yourself to create new possibilities, and allow oneness to seep into your blood stream.
Here are some tips I use to create my life.
Every year I rewrite my mission statement. My life mission statement envisions my illuminated self in alignment with my highest purpose and potential. This encompasses all aspects of my life from career and purpose to family and relationships, to health and spirit.
I then redesign my long-term goals in succinct ways and supported by monthly markers that will produce attainment of my goals.
Daily, I create short attainable actions steps to achieve my monthly markers.
Gratitude and recognition of the universe is working for me is a part of this practice.
I consistently work to heal, resolve, and transcend the parts of me that are not aligning with my purpose.
I have a daily ritual of mediation and connection. I speak with my guides daily and receive my next steps towards working with the highest possibility for myself and all those surrounding me.
I am resolved to always function from the heart with the highest integrity for myself and everyone around me. It requires work but the rewards and reduction in karmic relations keeping me from obtaining and becoming lighter are electric.
It takes work, strategy, commitment, confidence, and complete clarity.
I encourage you to create your own and include rituals in the process… of this unfolding.
If you need help and want to know more about a process that could work, my Sandwich Connection program is available.
Sandwich Heartmind Groups will be forming in the beginning of the year for current and past participants. These will help to further along our practice and create the miracles we are seeking.
Access information here… or contact me directly by text or call.
As for now, recognize we all have a clean canvas with the ability to create the life of our design. Sometimes, we just need a little help from our friends.
Have a beautiful and light filled entrance into all the light you can handle.
Bring in opportunities to Transcend Limitations in all aspects of life.
Between now and April light is pouring in. Harness the opportunity.
I’ll never forget when I began my healing journey. I felt so alone for all those years. Like I was floating on this deserted island waiting for someone to recognize what was happening and begin to see things from my perspective. I had so many questions. “Why is it I’m the only one who believes there is another way?” “Why do I feel like everyone is asleep and I am the crazy one who sees what is really going on?” “Am I crazy? Or is everyone else just numb?”
I began to think we were living in a world of institutionalized slavery. One person after another was being programmed into believing healing only happened through medicine and that the ceilings that were available to them was all we could expect and all that we deserved. I speak about this repeatedly in my book, “Transcending Limitations” but more importantly breaking through a matrix of codependent societal behaviors was the secret to my success.
If you are wondering how to shift your life and what to do next at your current crossroads or if you know someone who is standing at the doorway of choices wondering what to do next perhaps contemplate this point of reference when you come to the end of the road you have always known and traveled upon.
Sometimes failure and falling down again can be exactly what we need to live our greatest life… here is something that may help inspire you or someone you know…
Learning to fly…
You must become completely related to what you want in your life.
You must feel the sensations and the knowing’s that live in your heart.
Many of us walk around as if the weight of the world is on our shoulders. Unconsciously stuck in a pattern or repertoire of the things that we don’t want.
How do we become something other than what is happening all around us. Let go of what you know. Let go of the mind and only live through the heart.
We can not create what we want by referencing what is currently happening.
We must intuitively live.
We must keenly taste.
We must passionately feel.
Let the light shine through. No matter what.
You might have the weight of two worlds on your shoulders…. Get related to it… let it crack you… let it open you to desperation. Let yourself fall into the abyss of imperfection. Then watch… just be… stay in the naad of what is happening. Set yourself feel.
Feel it all. The doubts, the fears, the angst, the heartache, the yuck, the imperfection, the everything.
Its darkness… and in the darkness… only light can shine.
In the darkness… only light prevails.
We must be nothing like we were in the past. Awareness never allows anything to stay and always allows change to happen. No matter what.
Awareness that this is happening combined with allowing ourselves to fall and feel again breaks us open to freedom.
No matter what.
What are you afraid of?
What is aching within your heart?
What do you want and why is it not showing up? Why are you stuck…. Why are you caged… why do you remain where you are?
Its right there inside you. Put your attention on it…. Feel it… get related to it… and let it scream. Let it tantrum. Let it feel. Let it feed your body with all the things you are afraid of. Let yourself die.
When you allow your heart to break… when you allow it to fall into the shadow… something brilliant is allowed to happen… it becomes reborn… AGAIN.
It falls apart… it breaks… it scatters… it hurts…. Oh, and it hurts so much. It longs for things to be different. And that is beautiful.
We want that… we want to feel it all.
When we truly feel we finally see the charismatic ache within the heart with gentle eyes smiling at you to just let go.
Then we get to pick up the pieces again. And put it back together better than anything we could have ever expected it to be with our minds. And only fully longed for and felt for with our hearts.
Its greater, than anything you can ever even imagine. It lives through the heart. Only in the heart.
But when there is a cocoon around the heart protecting it… we must break it open and break it free… again.
We need to be more connected, more related, and more in love than ever before… that is what the sadness is calling us to do. Be more, let it out, feel it all. Just be intuit.
Life is full of death.
Birth is full of dying.
Light is full of dark.
We go one direction, and then we bounce back and go the other direction.
We just are.
And we know that we must feel, we must sense, and then we know… what glorious things may come.
But when we hesitate, when we don’t just jump in, we lose our connection to all that is. We miss it… it just passes by and then we are hit with the realizations later of the would haves, should haves, could haves… if only we had done it different.
And what good does that do?
What are you afraid of?
When we allow our hearts to break repeatedly, we all of a sudden wake up to the realization that we are meant to feel deeply, to cry profusely, to weep in longing for everything to be different.
This is waking up.
If we live protected, we become afraid to fly. If we live in safety, we remain caged. Waking up to our failures is one of life’s greatest gifts.
Only in the full awakening is the bliss we are seeking.
We have longings, we have wants, we have so much to experience.
Open your eyes and see, the way our horizons meet, and the way you can match up with all that you desire.
We must dive deep into the shadows, become the shadows, get related to the darkness… before we can truly become the light.
Stop glossing it over, taking breadcrumbs, or allowing things to just remain where they are.
Break open and break yourself free.
Fall and fail again.
Because in the falling… in the failure… WE GET TO CHOOSE AGAIN.
We get to pick up the pieces we want and leave the rest.
Pay attention, listen to your heart…. and you will know… here it is again and this time I’m jumping all in… no matter what.
This time it will be different…
You will get 3 steps further than before…. And you may even take 6 steps backward… but then you will go 9 steps forward. And one day you will leap… one day you will fly.
Do it anyway.
It’s coming… it’s getting closer…
I promise it’s almost here.
It’s times like these, when we fail and fail again that we get to break apart all we have ever known and then have the opportunity to build again. The rebuilding means we get to open ourselves to new life, new people, new places and new things. In the newness of it all is when we come upon partnerships that will attract the miraculous. And only this can occur with ashes and dust.
In the coming new year ahead consider receiving the help you need to learn to fly. Here are some opportunities to help you learn…

Truth comes in all sizes. It is something that just happens. Spiraling, moving, seizing, nourishing, allowing, and bowing to all infinity. Our truth comes in small and large packages. Evolving, revolving, ascending, and transforming our thoughts into conscious awareness. It is the truth of who and what we are. Pure awareness and pure love.
Amazing love.
Amazing immaculate love.
It can be nothing but that.
Just as the tides come and go, the sun rises and sets, the moon cycles through fullness and emptiness, and the seasons transform the world around us.
Ask yourself. Who am I? What is my truth?
Meditate on this.
Be this.
Allow this to unfold.
You will be surprised what comes.
I meditate every day. Several times a day. Why? To be the truth of who I am. To be in my essence, on purpose, and so different than anything one will ever find out there.
I am different.
We are different on purpose.
Sometimes commitments to families, peoples, places, and things inspire us to be more of ourselves and sometimes they ask us to join their world and become a part of them. Sometimes this is very helpful and sometimes it is not. Sometimes it works and sometimes we lose ourselves into something bigger… and then we forget who we are.
Some of us are designed to think different, be different, stretch different. Its when we try to hold onto something that is not working that things seem like they are not work out so well anymore.
Everything changes and nothing stays the same. That’s the beauty of cycles – that’ the beauty of truth.
Ask yourself, what is my truth? Sit with it. Get to know it. Love it and be it.
Become it.
It wants you to know thyself.
If you are having trouble listening to your truth, try this meditation on for size and see how it helps…
TRUTH
Om Mani Padme Hum
Om– the purity of body, speech, and mind comes gradually as we allow ourselves to be transformed into light.
Mani – the jewel, the intention to become light is fulfilled – we become light
Padme – the lotus, the wisdom that comes from ascension through the mud and our realization we are all sentient beings
Hum – Purity, undisturbed unity with consciousness
The achievement of this mantra all comes from within.
Much like the evolution of ourselves. Once we are on the path, there is no getting off. We can try, but we are always led back to our holiness. In whatever tradition it may take form. Or combination of traditions. It all sums up to the truth of who and what we are.
Om Mani Padme Hum
Positioning:
Sit in easy pose, cross legged with an elongated spine. Or any comfortable sit of your choice, ultimately with your spine elongated as if each vertebra is comfortably stacked on the next.
Allow your hands to rest comfortably in your lap. Or you may assume another mudra (hand position) of your choice. Some options could be, Gyan mudra (the thumb and pointer fingers come together to form an ‘o’ shape and the other fingers remain elongated, arms are comfortable and extended with hands or wrists resting comfortably on the knees. Or place right palm on the chest/heart center and left hand on the low navel.
Breathe long and deep in through the nose and possibly out through the mouth. Just be still.
Listen to the music that is suggested or another version of your choice.
Chant the mantra along with the music.
*Om Mane Padme Hum by Deborah Van Dyke*
Repeat for any number of minutes to your liking. Most practices suggest between 3 to 11 minutes. I prefer to use a mala prayer necklace and chant 108 times daily.
To end: Inhale deeply, suspend the breath for 10-15 seconds and then exhale slowly and release yourself to the union of your truth.
