~Lessons Learned~

Have you ever wanted to fit in so badly, you lose yourself completely?   My desire for acceptance started as far back as when I was 7.  I wanted the acceptance from my brother.  I would beg to go fishing and hunting with him and my dad.  My father always let me go, however my brother NEVER embraced the idea and teased me endlessly.  By the time I was in the sixth grade, not only was I striving to get the best grades (just like him), but I was playing every “boy” sport there was to participate in.  I became a tom boy and it was then that I started to lose myself.  In the 7 th grade, I cut my waist length hair to my shoulders and after my father saw it, he wouldn’t speak to me for days.  Little did I know the effect the two most important men in my life would have on me, by the age of 13, neither accepted me and that is when I believed I was not enough.  I have dealt with countless men who have  put me down, threatened, hara...

Are you ready?  Exactly what is it and how do you prepare to move through November 16-December 6.  First I'm not an astrologer however, I know that when Mercury is in Retrograde, things seem to get all screwed up.  Mercury is the fastest planet and during this time it orbits faster than the earth and seems to be going backwards.  You may find that you will experience more doubt, uncertainty, don't get married during this time, don't sign important documents, not even a handshake.  Instead, release.....release negative beliefs, thoughts, patterns, people, etc from your life.  Clean out your closets (literally).  This is a perfect time for self-reflection and relaxing.   Here is a quick overview of what each sign may encounter: Sagittarius-issues with getting where you want to go-this period you may see issues with your mode of transportation.  Have a back up plan Capricorn-you may find yourself struggling with control.  You wi...

Today is a very powerful manifestation day...it is 11/11/11 +(2+0+1+8).   11 is a Master Number, one which defines creation, authentic expression, and quick manifestation.  Have you been noticing this number show up in your life?  On a clock, license plate, lottery ticket?  It shows up to remind you that what you truly want is waiting for you and today is extra special.   Manifesting is more than just wishing on a star and walking away.  Manifesting takes focus and belief.  Right now, energy around us is shifting, in the next couple of months as we prepare for the new year, is an opportune time to focus what you want for the next year and prepare yourself to receive it. Be ready to watch as people in your life exit, which makes room for the new to come in.  As with most things in life, change is hard, scary and uncomfortable for us.  But with this energy shift, change is inevitable, so why not prepare and get what you want with...

This seemed like an appropriate topic, since we are in the middle of the "Day of the Dead".   Who is part of your tribe?  It is usually made up of a group (or a few) people who seem to "get" you, you click regardless of life style, opinions, or views.  The souls that you can go days, months, years without speaking to and once you re-connect, it's as though there was never any time or space between you.   Some, however, are fooled by the terms "best-friend", "family", "PIC", etc.  When I was younger, I had a best friend, the best in the world if you ask me, the two of us were inseparable. My best friend betrayed me in a way that  to  this day I still struggle with if I'm not careful.   I knew for years (really right from the start) that she wasn't there for me, but for herself still I held tight to the fact I had "a person".  As all of you know, when in junior high, high school, this was very important.  I even...

To dream and receive?  I'm watching the amazement of dreams being acknowledged, spoken, believed in and materialize, all while the dreamer ;) stands in awe at what they are able to do in their life with focus and desire in their heart.   I watched today as someone who was lost yesterday received news she never expected!! Congratulations, officer :).  The story is extraordinary as she quickly got out of her way, after hours of intense mirror work from a good friend (wink, wink) and allowed all of it to settle in her brain.  She went to bed, woke up, emailed me at 1:29 a.m. (really?) about a dream she just had.  At 3:44 a.m. I received another email, a blog from my blog (why? I have no idea, I've never received them before) titled YOU CAN HAVE IT ALL (check it out...I wrote it June 2015).  At 6:26 a.m. another from her asking what if...?  In a nutshell her emails asked questions, the blog answered them.  We immediately got in contact with ea...

You are stronger than you know.  You possess qualities withing just by being you.  You can create and manifest anything into your life with just the belief in yourself.  Too often we allow ourselves to label or believe we are only as good as others say we are or how society views things we say or do.  No one defines you, but you.  You have the power but do you have the courage?  Don't be afraid to try something you are interested in due to others.  Do not live your life for someone else.  Live it for you.  Take care of you and your heart.  Believe that you know what is best for you and allow your spirit to lead you.  Rely on your abilities, they will never let you down.  Do not compare yourself or life to others, be happy for them and grateful for what you have.  Learn to live in the moment and make each minute the best yet. I am surrounded by so many unbelievable people that follow their dreams, listen to their intuiti...

What does walking through fear mean to you? Do you do it or do you run?  Running seems like the quickest and at times the safest way to handle it.  Pulling your covers up over your head hoping everything that scares you will go away.  Sad thing is it doesn't, usually it just festers, it keeps tugging at the covers and always patiently awaits for that moment you peek out from your false sense of protection and lets you know it isn't going anywhere until you face it and overcome it.  A very good friend compared fear to an ice cold waterfall.  You can feel the mist of the waterfall, you can hear the water hit the rocks at the bottom, you can taste the crispness of the cold, you can smell the power of the water moving quickly and with purpose, you can see through the fall the beauty that is just on the other side of the water, however the fear of moving through the cold is enough to keep you from walking through the few seconds of being uncomfortable into a whole n...
