All I have to say is, “over-rated!” Bam, there I said it….

“Life never gives you too much; it only gives you opportunities to stop doing it all alone.”
Jennifer Hough

Sigh. My heart is so full. We had our first physical get together… first one in the last one-and-a-half years, and it was a divine doozy.

A huge deepening which I’ll get to, but first some context.

Fifteen years ago, I was with a boyfriend and all of my luggage on a Tube Station platform in London, UK. There were stairs in front of me. My boyfriend asked, “Want any help?,” to which I responded, “Nope, I can do it!” Then a stranger offered the same generous thing… and again I said, “I’m good.”

After hauling the bags down the stairs and standing there on the platform, a whole download happened and I started to get teary. What the heck was I thinking? Two lovely humans wanted to contribute to me and make my life easier, and I said “no.”

Then I realized that I had been doing that in my business, my relationship, my finances, and my family. I had been trained by life and my family to be so uber independent and have it handled. Yet I complained about how much I had to do, and how hard it was to do it all.

WE ARE SOCIAL ANIMALS… HELLLOOOOOO. WE ARE SURROUNDED BY EARTH ANGELS… HELLOOOOO!!

This weekend, my program assistant, Diane, for The Thriving Operating System- Level 2 program, had her flight cancelled. EVERYONE in the program assisted me, contributed, and just played to make sure I was supported in the most beautiful ways; the generosity in the room was palpable. And I think that Diane actually was in the perfect place with those online.

So, just in case you needed a little reminding today:

THE UNIVERSE CONSTANTLY REMINDS US WE ARE NOT ALONE: Don’t ignore those moments that guide you to the left. Pause when your numbers line up on the clock, or the speedometer. When you think of someone you appreciate, call them and tell them. When a little love note pops up on Facebook from someone who loves you; read it. The Universe always has, and will always have, your back. BUT MAYBE IT’S TIME TO LET SOME ACTUAL HUMANS IN.

Stay tuned for our emails this week about the power of community and the skills to truly thrive.

I love being humbled by life; don’t you?

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.
