Be Kind and Gentle with Your Resolutions

be kind and gentle with your new years resolutions

Be super kind and gentle with your resolutions this year. Remember, happiness is not just about what you look like. Or what your bank account looks like. Or what your metrics say. Addressing physicality while ignoring your spirit brings a temporary shift. True transformation means we look deeper and do the inner work. This is a time of new beginnings. Lots of us are making resolutions right now. The goals I am hearing most are: 1. Lose weight or get into shape 2. Create abundance and dial down the debt 3. Overcome an addiction like smoking or drinking or eating… …Read More »

Today Is the Day We Love and Appreciate Ourselves

sometimes life opens us like a flower

Hi, beautiful friend, The reality is you are a magnificent, miraculous being. Always awesome, always loved, exactly as you are. And. I totally get that many days it simply does not feel true. We can judge ourselves so harshly sometimes. Stories and bad memories on repeat. Questioning our actions. Shaming our decisions. Often these go unchecked because what we’re thinking and feeling seems to be fact. But they’re not. Thoughts you’re having about yourself or your situation generate the corresponding feelings. Yay or yuck–our thoughts had something to do with that. If this is resonating, let’s try it differently today.… …Read More »

Here’s to the Dark Angels in Our Lives

what to do when you're upset

Here’s to the dark angels in our lives who come to wake us up. They bring their stinky gifts…the ones which whisper to our parts on the verge of readiness to advance. Stinky gifts which come in crappy packaging, and require some work before we can get to the good part. What I am talking about when I say, Dark Angel: • The mother in law who seems blind to the beauty and delight of your amazing children • The guy who constantly speaks to you like you’re an idiot is finally so far over the line you are pushed… …Read More »

Honor the trickle: How to stay aligned with your calling and not become disheartened by the process.

This is for the friends who are in a business helping others. You’re coaches and healers and light sparklers. You’re heart-centered helpers who remember Spirit. But really, this is poignant advice for any walk of life. May this support you and guide you where you need it most. When I was starting out in my healing practice, I often felt like nobody was listening. This and my crippling self-esteem wobbles were enough to make me want to give up and go pluck chickens for a living.

Making Peace with Scarcity and Lack

Making peace with scarcity and lack

I have been having a conversation with some of the Love Posse about jealousy and scarcity and the story that there isn’t enough to go around. Conversations about how this one or that one has struck gold and published their book and is receiving renown. Conversations about how it makes us sometimes feel like we are never ever gonna make it…and how unfair it all feels and how it seems it’s only about who you know. And all of the good spots are taken. And surely it must be too late now because the idea is already out there. And… …Read More »

Rock it like you mean it: owning your shizzle

embrace your fear and claim your belovedness

You are the shizzle. I am telling you the truth. You are. Still, every day, in small and big ways, you’re gonna feel challenged to own it. Sometimes you’ll even be asked to give it away. It’s up to you to understand this, and to know that your only job in the moment is to stay in your own lane. Especially then, it’s imperative that you be authentic and shine brightly and do what you’re here to do. Yes, you are the shizzle! But when you abandon your post and go around trying to emulate the way others shine, nobody… …Read More »
