We would be in harmony, if not for this…


“Be FOR something that benefits all people, rather than AGAINST those who polarize.
That is true leadership!”
Jennifer Hough


When I first read this post, and saw the pic, I said to myself, “Eww, ants!” But then I realized the story was not about ants, it was about the destructive nature of “being against” another. Ants, as you likely know, work together in tremendous harmony out in the wild. However, this story talks about what happens when they start perceiving the idea of separating from each other, and perceiving another as an enemy or perpetrator.

When I first read this, it caused such clarity about what is going on right now in the world. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts!

WHO ROCKED THE JAR ?

If you collect 100 black ants and 100 red ants and put them in a glass jar, nothing will happen. But, if you take the jar, shake it violently and leave it on the table, the ants will start killing each other. Red ants believe that the black ants are the enemy, while the black ants believe that the red ants are the enemy, when the real enemy is the person who shook the jar!

The same is true in society.

Men vs Women
Left vs Right
Rich vs poor
Faith vs Science
Gossip, rumors, etc …

Before we fight each other, we must ask ourselves: “Who rocked the jar?”

A more powerful question for me is this: What can we do to build bridges of understanding between each other? We are all from the same Source; we have literally been in each others’ shoes in other lifetimes. Rich or poor, power hungry or gentle, gay or straight.

We must ask powerful questions. We can be angry because we were manipulated by the jar rockers… or, we can, together, put all of our energy into building something we ALL WANT.

Paradoxically, the jar rockers will also benefit. That’s true leadership!

With love,

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.
