A Sacred Springtime Ritual to Help You Open Up to Your Potential

Sunday, March 27th, 2011

Each year, when the early Spring comes around, I get excited.

I get excited because this time of year symbolizes new beginnings, fresh energy, and the joy of birthing new things into the world.

You see it everywhere - the days are longer, the birds are chirping, there are even tiny little buds on the trees.

And I know it’s a powerful opportunity to bring new energy into my own projects, relationships, and life, as well as the perfect time to step more fully into bigger and better possibilities for myself and my future.

What I often find, though, is that it’s difficult to transition into Spring-time energy if you are still stuck in Winter-time mode, and feeling tired, unmotivated, and frustrated. This is especially common if you haven’t made the time to clear out the dust and stagnancy that can sometimes settle and take hold in the colder months.

That’s why it’s vital this time of year to intentionally cleanse out the emotional, mental and spiritual blocks that might have built up over the winter months, in order to then be fully prepared to open yourself up consciously to the curiosity, joy, and freshness that is so readily available to you this time of year.

Here is a ritual you can do to cleanse, renew, and then open up to your full potential to help prepare you for this magical season! In order to do this ritual, you will need paper and pen; a feather duster (optional); and a potted plant: ...keep reading

Are you living your SACRED purpose?

Sunday, March 13th, 2011

In my last article I revealed the power of having a Soul-centered Vision to guide all of your actions. This week I want to bring you a bit more down to earth as we look at your Soul-Centered Mission.

I want you to get very clear on how you can practically bring your inspiring and idealist Soul-centered Vision out and into the world through your work, lifestyle, projects, and every crevice of your life.

Without this clarity, you are most likely not aligned with the your Sacred Purpose in life. And mis-aligment with your Sacred Purpose usually leads to exhaustion, dissatisfaction, and suffering.

However, when you know your Soul-Centered Mission and live it, you will be energized, excited, and satisfied with your days!

Before we move forward, ...keep reading

Do You Have a Vision for Your Life?

Sunday, March 6th, 2011

Congratulations! So you have finally allowed yourself to recognize (even if just a little bit, like a tiny little whisper) the deep calling of your heart - that you would like to leave your job, write a novel, create a family, start painting portraits, really expand your business in order to reach more people, whatever it may be. But before you are even able to pick up a paintbrush, or make an hour of time in your busy schedule to write, you are bombarded by a slew of criticism whether internal or external.

Sometimes this criticism is enough to make you close the door and double bolt your soul-centered desire all together! What was I thinking?! You may ask yourself.

Well, I want to give you the opportunity today to move out of questioning yourself and being stuck, and onto a path of truly and deeply honoring that soul-calling.

I’m going to let you in on an amazing tool that will help you stay centered and strong no matter what rears its head on your path toward soul-centered living and success. This tool will give you ...keep reading

This is the most personal post I ever wrote…

Thursday, March 3rd, 2011

I want to tell you about an incredibly powerful and transformative breakthrough I’ve recently had in my life.

This is probably the most personal I’ve ever gotten in an email to my community, and I feel a little vulnerable sharing it with you. However, my inner wisdom keeps telling me that it is really important that you hear it.

So, it’s a little longer than usual, but it’s INCREDIBLY important, so here it goes…

Many of you have noticed that I have new headshots. (Thank you for all of the loving compliments and well-wishes you’ve given me on them!!!!)

Here’s what you don’t know about my headshots: it took me TWO WHOLE YEARS of contemplating getting them before I was actually ready to do it.

I knew I needed headshots because I hated the photos I had up on my website and marketing materials. Every time I looked at them I cringed because they just didn’t feel right.

And yet, I still didn’t make time to call a photographer and schedule a photo shoot.

For a long time I thought I was just too busy to get them done. Or, I told myself, I needed to wait until my hair grew to a certain length. Or, I told myself that it was the wrong time of year. Or, I told myself that it wasn’t a worthy investment.

Well, this went on for a while until I started getting unsolicited feedback about my photos. I was told by quite a number of people - some that I had just met! - that those old photos looked nothing really like me, that they didn’t convey my soulful and transformative energy and abilities, and that it looked like I was hiding from the camera in them.

To be honest, at first I was kind of insulted by those comments. Then one day it hit me - I WAS hiding from the camera in those photos, and not just from the camera, but from my community, my current and future clients, my partners, my mentors, and anyone that would come across them.

I was scared of being visible. I was scared of being truly seen and noticed by others. I realized that by not featuring headshots that showed the “real” me, I was allowing myself to stay small and to stay safe and to stay comfortable by not really letting my photographs convey the power of my work and my incredible ability to help women heal their wounds and move forward radically with their businesses, careers, art, relationships and so much more.
