I was so angry and felt so alone…
Today I want to share with you a personal account of how epi-genetics works. It’s a recent “OUCH and YAY” full-circle moment I had.
Upon awakening one morning, my body did not feel that hot. It felt like I had a dream that put me into PTSD. My spine felt compressed and my body was afraid. So, instead of engaging the fear, I got curious.
I used an anti-inflammatory light therapy that I love to use to get myself to a place where I could at least be present. I did that by continually answering the question, “How can I feel a little bit better now?”
Doing my best to be a champion of my mood and frequency, I then put some CBD on the spots that ached.
What’s science got to do with it?
The laws of physics say:
“What you make important to you through your actions, words, and deeds will continue to show itself in your life.”
You were not born to fit in with anyone else…
I wanted to share with you how grateful I am to my colleague Shannon, for my new favorite question:
“What is the most fulfilling thing I can do, with the least amount of effort, that uses my abilities the most, while making the biggest difference and has me waking up inspired every day?”
It never gets old!
What a day full of rain showed me as I walked up to the top of a hill to do my daily evening practice…
Once I was at the top of the hill, I noticed in the distance were the mountains to the left and clouds that had spent a whole week here, were moving away. The sun was peeping through as it was going down. The rays of light were spectacular on the mountains.
A little tree shaking…
I used to be VERY teacher-like (my Mom was a teacher, so I come by it honestly).
I was just used to it; I never questioned being that way. However, I didn’t realize what it cost me, and that was MY POWER.
It put me above people. It looked as though I had it all handled, and I didn’t. As a result, I also attracted people who wanted to give their power away to me.
An important note in these intense times. Hope it assists!
Ever wish you didn’t think so much?
I had a very heady conversation with a dear friend recently, and it was all about being afraid to take action on an inspiration. They spent lots of time trying to figure out “WHY” their dreams were calling to them, so their mind could be at peace before they took action.
Oh, my goodness, did I ever have compassion! I used to analyze everything. I thought it would keep me safe. With everything going on in the world right now, every once in a while that habit creeps back in. But it does not keep me safe; it just keeps me in my head, and history is the only thing in my head. I desire to be surprised and delighted by answers not yet imagined.
Working hard to deserve it is a distraction…

The last few days have been intense…
Have you ever felt overwhelmed and just thought, “What the…?” I did yesterday. It seriously doesn’t happen often, so the feeling stood out.
I was detoxing the past few days, but didn’t realize it.
Not only that, I had a day of meetings.
I had to have two big-girl conversations (the kind that I dread) with two people I care about.
Oh, and relationship stuff is always evolving… so there’s that.
I cried. Just saying.
I realized after watching Matthew McConaughey’s talk this week about the place where he grew up (Uvalde, Texas), that I had still been processing the shooting.
This is not an email about guns, nor is it a political one either.
BAM! Yep, this happened.
I had a client ask me last night, “When are all these challenges and triggers going to end so we can get back to normal?”. Newsflash. This is our new normal. So much change is being catalyzed these days, and if you get into emergency mode, it is easy to want to protect yourself and others, to hide, to “carry” your family, or those you love or even yourself.
Here’s something to consider this morning: Just because you’re there for others, doesn’t mean you are necessarily helping them. It depends on whether you’re giving from your overflow and your inspiration, or you are “carrying” them. It may even be that you’re not authentically trying to help them; maybe, just maybe, you’re trying to make your own self feel better because you don’t like the way they’re being or behaving.
I have most certainly carried people I care about at some point in my life. It’s as though I thought that I had the power to make someone else happy. It is so clear to me at this point that no one can make anyone else happy. In fact, doing that can leave the other person(s) powerless to do it for themselves.
Are you leaving space for the miraculous?
I’m not sure if anyone ever truly gets that I am definitely in the programs that I teach, even though I am facilitating. And I am! Half the things that get discussed are perfectly suited for helping me find more freedom, meaning, and flow, too. Saturday’s Get Out of Your Own Way™ program was no exception.
Sunday I woke up with my head stuffy, feeling heated, and an achy body. Uh oh. Adam just had the c-flu; maybe I have it, too?
My word for the year, and…
I was just wondering why Spaciousness was my word this year.
We are now almost half way through the year (can you believe it?) and so much is up for renewal!
Take my body for instance. I notice immediately when it is in Overwhelm, because my cravings go up, neck tension starts, I get a little reactive, and my creativity goes out the window. If I partake in Overwhelm long enough, I even gain weight… ugh. My body is a perfect barometer of where I am.
These five symptoms are representative of about 15 other symptoms of adrenal fatigue, and even a sluggish thyroid. At first when I feel the symptoms, I hear myself saying, “Really?” Then I realize and remember that I have a deep knowing of how to bring myself back to the state of energized inspiration.
This is important for me to remember in these times…
Years ago, in one of our programs, a dear client talked about a powerful story that is so relevant to what is going on in the world now… about the power and purity of a child in times of great polarity.
She went to Ireland with her family at age seven.
She is Protestant and she went to a beach community of a mainly Catholic village, when, at times, there was still tremendous infighting and violence.
While she was on the beach, a seven-year-old local, red-headed girl would come and play, building sandcastles with her.
After a few days the young Irish girl asked, “Are you Protestant?”, to which my client replied, “Yes, I am.”
The red-head then declared, “Well, I think you are lovely! I don’t understand what the grown-ups are saying.”
My client said, “Me either.”
And the red-headed girl suggested, “Maybe we should hug for a long time until the rest of the world feels it, so that they can all get along.”
My client said, “I think that is a perfect idea!”
And so the two of them hugged for a couple of minutes, hoping that maybe someone would see or feel them getting along, and loving each other despite their differences.
Do you feel them?
In a non-time/space reality, that wave is still going out into consciousness. I choose to feel it and all of its implications, right now.
The physics of High Holidays for all religions…
First and foremost, HAPPY EARTH DAY. This message is one about our emotional environment these days, because I know that how we feel impacts our motivation to give to “the Great Mother.” And, if you read through to the bottom of this email, I will show you how you can be a member of the Heaven on Earth Construction Crew. But first….
Here’s a paradigm shift for you… We are family!
When I was younger, I so wanted to feel like I belonged. I had glasses, acne, was taller than everyone, curly hair, was shy as anything, and I just felt like I wished someone “got” me and saw through the yuck.
Not to mention, I was super curious about physics, because my religion wasn’t giving me answers. Some, but not all. And there were contradictions. In High school, I used to debate spirituality with my Jehovah’s Witness friend, Nora… I still remember her. That was fun for me, since I didn’t fit in with everyone else, much like she didn’t either.
What’s possible when we shift in the way we shift…
Here’s what was going on 20 years ago. I had to restrict my food to be healthy, I had to cleanse, I had to work hard on myself to “fix me,” and I had to be a much better person before I got on with my whole purpose. I asked myself, “Seriously, that’s what I have to do to feel great, love my life, be loved, live my dreams?” That is NOT thriving.
That’s working hard to deserve goodness; it’s surviving. Maybe surviving well sometimes, but if the Universe loves me (and you), and dreamt me (and you) into being, there is no way life has to be that hard.
I remember the day 20 years ago that I got so frustrated after taking a personal development program because I started feeling so tired of constantly analyzing and excavating my brokenness. I had been looking at past lives, my relationship with my family, and the perfectionism that dogged me. It all seemed like an endless sea of “why’s.”
Groundhogs and love winning!
I had just finished a weekend with a dear genius friend, writing a book together, which activated a new kind of “druid like” communion where words weren’t necessary (cool), then speaking to a wicked tantra teacher about intimacy with myself even more and being in full pu**y-power (way cool), followed by a huge conversation in a world-changing project about health care of which I am a part, and healed a 2.5-year-old wound much more fully. Moving through all of it took community and it took LETTING LOVE OF MY DREAMS AND MYSELF to win.
Ukraine…what you can do.
There has been so much going on and I have been watching my heart hurt a little. I’ve seen so many posts asking, “Why?” “Why would such a thing as war even exist, and how could that happen in the world with so many waking up?
The Unknown is my friend…
Sweet Adam M Lamb has done an incredible job of creating our new interview and podcast studio downstairs. The coolest part of it was that I got to put the finishing touches on the special room by hanging two beautiful pictures by our friend, Lisa Winston.
I am also vigilant for blessings. I truly feel blessed. Of course, crappy things absolutely happen to me as well… I just call them suboptimal things. I find it helps me to use less “judgy” language. It keeps me neutral.
Falling in love with the unknown…
Feeling tired, out of sorts, sleepless, not able to keep my eyes open, being “off,” having poor concentration, and achiness were all in the cards for me this week. Why? Because solar flares are real, and we are magnetic and electrical beings. We have receptor sites for synchrotronic radiation from the sun on the outside of our cells.
Holy moly, what a week!
We are in this together, in ways we cannot see. I understand this on a whole new level, as I humbly asked for help from my colleagues, teammates and friends. I tell you, what an exercise in receiving!
