I had no idea what to expect. I did not know a single person there. I’d never ever been there before. Yep! Exhilaration and terror hand in hand – that leap into the unknown. This past week I once again crossed the threshold into the unknown. Something that I mostly love to do. Something I find both exhilarating and terrifying …
Those Breath Robbing Dudes
I have to admit, I still feel a bit anxious when I’m getting ready to leave home. Leaving the familiar to fly off into the unknown always includes the appearance of my long time companions and now allies – Fear and Anxiety. Fortunately I am deeply intimate with these two highly slippery dudes. Fear and Anxiety. Anxiety and Fear. My …
Crazy and Desperate
Once upon a time I was a desperate woman. I was a single mother of three very small children. I was broke. No job. No child support. Not much support of any kind actually in my life. My history was one of extreme disfunction. My family of origin was filled with the kind of crazy they write books about. About the …
How to Make the World a Better Place
Keep dancing. Yep! You heard me right. Dancing. Dance with whatever is showing up right here – right now – in this very moment. Be it boredom or frustration. Inspiration. Excitement. Fear or love. Anger or laughter. Silliness or disappointment. Whether you feel powerless or powerful – keep on dancing. Here’s the thing – when you turn on the music …
How To Get What You Want
In order to have what you want you must to be willing to grow beyond who you are in this moment. You must grow beyond your ideas about who you are, the stories that have shaped you – your tired and worn out beliefs in limitation, not enough and lack. You must be willing to set aside every single one …
Holy Longing
You think what you do must be brilliant. Ordinary is just fine. Every-day is good. There is nothing to strive for. No “where” to arrive to. This moment is everything. Let yourself sink into the depths of your being – the Love that you are. Let quiet Mercy enfold you. Let yourself rest in that today, dear one. Allow tears …
It Doesn’t Make You Bad
It’s OK to be human. To feel sad. Scared. Angry. To feel uncertain. Paralyzed. Tired. Jittery. Antsy. This is all part of life. It doesn’t make you bad, wrong or un-wholy. No matter what anyone has told you. It simply makes you human – just like the seven billion–some–other humans on the planet. Being human means that in one moment I can …
An Antidote to Fear and Judgement
I believe we are meant to bless each others lives – to BE a blessing. Merriam -Webster defines blessing this way – encouragement the act of words of one that blesses something that helps you or brings happiness a thing conducive to happiness or welfare. An act of blessing is a vehicle of love. It is an act of power. …
Not Your Job
Let go of trying to order the world. It quite simply is not your job. Your job is to come into alignment with this moment, with the gifts and wisdom available here. When you feel yourself bolt in panic or concern for what is ahead and your or a loved one’s ability to traverse it – call yourself back. Keep your …
In the Spirit of Celebration
What if today you simply celebrate all that you are. All that you have. All that you see? What if this year you choose to begin with an epic and utter sense of starting fresh? What if you leave behind any feelings, stories or beliefs that create a sense or feeling inside your precious being of “less-than” or “not enough” …
