The direct route to ending struggle…

“Do you want to be constantly on guard for something to worry about, or do you want to simply learn how to live an expansive life? Look at where your energy is spent, and you’ll know your answer.”
~ Jennifer Hough

Dear You:

I was speaking with a wonderful friend the other day, and she was having some issues, and not having so much fun. She is a busy woman with clients, family, and a business.

She had started feeling tired, a little listless, and was trying to convince me all the while that we need to warn our children and students that sometimes life is brutal.

In response, I said, “Well, if we did that, they would be on guard for misery and they would find it. They’d also start feeling tired and listless. Instead, why don’t we share the following with them:

1. That change is inevitable, it will happen often, and it all makes life an adventure.
2. That struggle is a sign they are being re-directed to change in some way.
3. That if they learn the skills to thrive, they will shine a bright light, and know that some may be bothered by that.
4. That they may occasionally have to mourn their old selves, but it will pass gracefully if they don’t judge it.
5. That they are to keep shining their light until they light up as many people as they can. Especially the bothered ones.”

She became silent… or at least her Ego did. She’s been having a great week ever since and said; “Thanks for reminding me that it’s a privilege to be alive!”

Love and more love!

P.S. Oh, and let’s remind our children to find friends who will always remind them of a deeper truth, when they forget… (Yay for them… and you know who you are!).

The key to thriving is…

A key to thriving is remembering that doing this is actually important.

It’s ‘nothing’.

That’s the thing, doing nothing is doing something.I’m sure you’ve sometimes tried to keep pushing through a project when life is showing you the harder and longer you push, the more unproductive things get, right?

I’m so guilty of feeling invincible or, put another way, stubbornly carrying on instead of being present to what life is showing, or sometimes commanding, me to do.

I always thought that I had to find the right person…

I know I’ve shared this before, but I think it’s worth revisiting. Thinking about my journey, I regret none of my previous relationships. Studying the laws of physics has given me so much clarity around my time with dear partners from the past.

I always thought I had to find the right person. Nope. Not about that. They find you. And that is based on a few important shifts in thinking that changed my life.

1. LOVE JUST IS – love is in and through everything, available at all times. There’s nothing to create as, if it really is love, then it’s already unconditional. Love that feels conditional is actually more about acceptance or approval.

Upgrade at a cellular level

Upgrade at a cellular level

I just finished a powerful 4 days at our Embodiment Workshop and VIP day here in Asheville and my heart is so full from all the shifts and clarity that happened for myself and for all of us collectively and I wanted to share something with you…

When we upgrade at a cellular level, ‘going direct’ with consciousness, we become part of its flow and push to expansion. We remember our natural state – to move forward and out.

Everything happens for us because consciousness works that way.
