Celebrating Motherly Love

“Freedom as a parent comes when you decide to guide your children rather than control them. It’s all about walking side by side together”

Dear You:

I am celebrating my Mom this week (Dad, you’ll have to wait your turn). I was fortunate enough to have an exceptional mother, but I’m aware that not everyone did. And even if your mother was exceptional, it doesn’t mean she was perfect. The greatest parent we all have is Creation, which is unconditional, all-seeing, wise, fluid, without judgment, constantly operating FOR you, and filled with ideas to assist you to be on your creative journey. Creation is a source of a certain form of perfect flow. Unfortunately, most people project that their parents should somehow be like the Universe… all-seeing and all-knowing.

So parents… please take off yourself the pressure to be perfect. You’re human; it’s in the design of human beings to have lots of contrast. You were meant to both catalyze and inspire. The Universe was meant to “parent” according to most people’s ideological dream. You were not. You were meant to guide or catalyze. Either way, you assist with clarity for your kids, old and young.

And Mom, I love you. You are the perfect Mom for me… ups, downs, good, difficult… it all made me who I am, and I wouldn’t want to be me without any drippy drop of it. You rock! Thank you! I love you!

Happy Mother’s Day y’all! (I’m starting to get the idea of this North Carolina thing, ha ha.)

With an open heart,
xoxoxo

My two favorite words…

When our actions resonate with our purpose and we’re aligned with the Universe’s potential for us, it’s such an expansive feeling.

The feeling of expansiveness validates you are in flow.

The alignment with greater wisdom is translated through our body as feelings of ‘woo hoo’, ‘yes!’, goosebumps, or fun! It’s confirmation that we’re acting and thinking in line with our ‘highest and best’ life, using our skills and personality, creating in the most aligned way.

Being Happy 101

Being Happy 101

Apr 23, 2024

Being Happy 101 – With the next Flight School (our nine-month program) about to start, I’m aware of some pretty powerful insights about my own life, ten of them in fact!

One: Reacting to circumstances definitely leads to drama. Drama always takes me out of my knowing, distracting me from my connection with Innate Wisdom.

Two: My happiness absolutely cannot come from circumstances changing. My happiness must be accessible, regardless of circumstances. It cannot be dependent on how the world is, how the people in my life behave, or an expectation that everything should be perfect. Everything is becoming which, by definition, means it isn’t perfect.

Three: It’s not my job to carry the weight of the world. My job is to show up in love and compassion. It’s not my job to make other people happy but rather to learn to be grounded in my heart. It’s not my job to protect my heart but to emanate from the heart.

What if all the beliefs that you adhere to aren’t even yours?

What if all the beliefs that you adhere to aren’t even yours?

Something happened this week that was such a great reminder to remain humble, and know that we are all human. It also reminded me that we are all human and any beliefs that anyone is better than you or I, are simply old beliefs.

This week I was on a beautiful cheer-fest for Money and You with my dear friend Doria Cordova with well-known thought leaders from all over the world. It was a privilege to be included.

The leaders that have taken Money and You are all incredibly humble and so smart…..and you probably know their names; Jack Canfield, Ken Honda just to name a few.

And, there was a leader who was there that behaved a little differently than the others. He also did not exude the humility of the rest. And I realized that he had stuck beliefs and was being righteous, and that I had beliefs about how he should be.
