The End of the World...?

Welcome to 2013!

For a lot of folks, the holidays were pretty much a blur to commercialism and excess, making it difficult to escape the faux good tidings of cheer every time you entered a store. Coupled with the made up angst stemming from 12/21/12 - it was Y2K all over again with people dreading the darkest night of the year as if it were the signal for the heavens to unleash the Apocalypse!  What I hope you are taking into account right now is the fact that it is difficult to come off the roller coaster called the holiday season and slow down your trajectory enough to resume the day-to-day activities. 

I realize there are folks having difficulty tying up all the loose ends from 2012. But rather than letting life happen, why not take bold action. The world as you knew it is gone. With each passing day, you are being asked and encouraged to evolve – even as everything around may remain in constant flux. Change how you perceive and respond to what’s going on around you.

And for those who make resolutions from year-to-year, and end up ditching them after several weeks, let go of your expectations, focusing instead on how you can go about making each day the best ever. Instead of racking up list after list of failed resolutions, use that energy in a different way and move with momentum instead of just following the pack.  Choose instead a goal to achieve and make a new pact to take action and move forward, even if you’re not completely sure of the end game.

Personally, I’ve been pretty excited about the turn of days. What most folks don’t realize is the Solstice actually signals the coming again of the light – where the frigid and blustery winter days grow incrementally longer. For me, the longer days represent the blossoming of abundances, as my new plants (the actualization of ideas and dreams) begin to poke through the soil and emerge into the sunlight.

Here in Colorado, we’ve been experiencing our fair share of sub-zero days; however, even the Columbine plant outside my front door has begun to leaf out! I’m excited as this is just a portal to the future and what’s awaiting me as spring approaches. The rest of my garden may be frozen rock solid, but this one little patch outside the front door beckons and speaks to me of promises yet to come. I am grateful.

New affirmation: I AM GRATEFUL AND ONLY EXPECT THE BEST OUTCOMES.

Love and light,

PASSION is the path to your Soul Purpose

Everyone keeps talking about making sure your Passion and Purpose are aligned. Well, how do you recognize one from the other? How are you supposed to know the difference? And even if you do, how do you know it’s your PASSION and it’s the right path to uncovering your Soul Purpose?

Well, since the question keeps coming up, I want you to think back to the first time you fell in love. I want you to remember the emotions, as well as the physical experience of that first time.  Now that you’ve pulled up the reference, I want you to consider if your PASSION meets these criteria:

• It’s the essence of what makes your heart skip a beat (it defines and completes you);
• It’s an obsession (or could be if you didn’t have real world responsibilities);
• It’s easy (no reason to second guess anything);
• It’s invigorating (you feel on top of the world); 
• It’s blissful (it speaks to your spirit);
• It’s uplifting (think stress reducing); and
• It’s empowering (it provides an opportunity for you to be PRESENT and at your BEST).

PASSION is about finding your ONE TRUE LOVE. When you’re in love with your heart’s desire, fire burns so deep and bright, but it flare into a scorching red-hot burn hot one minute and plunge into the frigid depths of cold and despair the next. When you are LOVE (talking about true PASSION here), it’s next to impossible to extinguish the flame because it burns steady and bright all the time! 

Relationships are about being in love. They are satisfying at times and they are equally erratic. They come and go in your life, sometimes with your assent, but they don’t necessarily require a commitment from you. On the other hand, living your PASSION is about LOVE – totally and completely. It’s about a complete commitment to living fully and authentically. 

Mistress of the Sacred Feminine, PASSION is steadfast, true and heartfelt. Doesn’t matter whether she arrives in your youth, or you renew the acquaintance later in life, PASSION waits for the right opportunity to spark your interest and ignite a relationship. 

PASSION isn’t a jealous lover either. PASSION doesn’t understand anger or fear; instead, she seeks to express only intense joy and excitement.  She will accommodate you – dancing however fast or slow you choose.  She will peek out from the edges of your day-to-day, occasionally showing up in your lucid dreams to remind and entice, but never to trap, you. When you’re ready to accept the commitment, PASSION will be the first to embrace you and revel in your decision to share with the world.

PASSION will never up and leave you. However, it’s interesting how easy it is to walk away from your passion to pursue a relationship… hmmm? That might make some people uncomfortable; however, it is a reality that needs to be acknowledged.

Interestingly enough, your commitment to living authentically allows for greater freedom – financially, emotionally and empirically, as well as a renewed sense of empowerment because you are embracing life without limitations.  When you align with your PASSION, you will find new opportunities and doors opening for you, ultimately bringing you closer to discovering your true Soul Purpose. 

Even if you’re not conscious of the fact, it’s part of the reason you’re here. Soul Purpose has more to do with your contribution to the greater consciousness. In other words, when it’s time to write your Eulogy, what will be your lasting impact on the world?  You may discover your Soul Purpose in the work you do; a hobby you enjoy; the time you spend with friends and family; or it may occur as a direct result of a random act of kindness imparted  upon a stranger who happens to cross your path.

The easy part is all you have to do is be who and what you are – authentic ally. Live in the moment. Remember to celebrate and share your joy with others. Pass along your enthusiasm! 

My passion is teaching. I appreciate and am grateful for the opportunities I have to interact with and teach people the secrets to living and enjoying extraordinary lives. There’s always something extra special that touches my heart when I see the lights go on as folks embrace their true calling. My purpose is to educate you to take the necessary action to embrace your PASSION and invest in your long-term success.  My hope is you will decide to revisit your PASSION and change your life.

If you’ve been procrastinating or need help with your PASSION and Soul Purpose, IntuitiveGoddesse is waiting to hear from you! I love working with people ready and willing to drop the façade and begin living authentic lives. All it takes is the conscious desire to peel back the layers and discover your true essence and a commitment to investing in yourself.

New Affirmation: I AM LOVE AND I SHARE MY JOY WITH THE WORLD

Action Time is NOW!

Some time ago, I shared a dream about seven sisters who came to Earth to enrich my soul, transform my life; accelerate my growth and guide me along the path to greater accomplishments. I have been blessed with abundance and blessings over the years and welcome their continuing contributions to my work and life.  Through their encouragement, Truth, Courage, Virtue, Compassion, Wisdom, Gratitude and Forgiveness have asked me to share their gifts with the world.

I know people don’t like it when folks keep revisiting the same territory time and time again, but guess what? That’s exactly where we’re going because my guides believe sometimes repetition is necessary. Fact is, the human brain needs to hear something at least three times before it actually “listens”, makes the connection, and begins to take action.

So listen to this – here is your reminder… action time is NOW! Don’t wait for the moment to be perfect or until all the stars align in heaven. If you’ve got a passion in your heart, what’s holding you back?  If you’ve wanted to learn something new and discover how your life can be profoundly changed for the better, NOW is the time to set things in motion and get moving.  In this moment, you have everything you need to start dreaming, planning and designing your new future.

Maybe you’ve just been holding back. What fears are keeping you from achieving your loftiest goals? Are you aware fear is only self-imposed confinement? The box is only a box – it has walls you can break down any time, but you have to be willing to stretch and take appropriate risk to navigate the barriers. As long as you are willing stay in the box, you can never realize true freedom.

What gifts have you been given that you’re not purposefully using? Maybe you put them on a shelf for later use and forgot about them. It doesn’t matter – it’s never too late to get them out and start embracing and integrating them into your life.

If you’ve been procrastinating or need help exploring your special talents, IntuitiveGoddesse is waiting to hear from you! I love working with people ready and willing to drop the façade and start living Authentic lives.

Embrace your inner Goddesse! All it takes is the conscious desire to peel back the layers and discover your true essence and a commitment to investing in yourself.

New Affirmation: I AM TAKING DETERMINED STEPS TO MAKE EVERY MOMENT COUNT!

Living in the NOW

     Sometimes it's just about being present. Not worrying about what happened yesterday or stressing over what you can't control in the future. Sometimes, it helps to take a breath, count to ten and then be grateful and happy with what is right in front of you.
     These past few weeks, I've had computer gremlins and other odds occurrences. We've all been there -- in that place where you don't know if it's better to laugh or to cry. If you're like me, busy and driven, it's hard to suddenly run into that stop sign at full force!
     Facing that dilemma myself recently, I simply stopped, took in that precious breath and gave myself space to think. Yes, it took a bit -- more a few bits actually -- but I realized, my journey path was being temporarily re-routed.
     Spiritual road construction had necessitated my sudden and unexpected detour.
     In the past, I would have fretted and become angry over my inability to adhere to my self-imposed deadlines and limitations. Instead, these past few weeks have become somewhat of a miniature retreat for me. A time for reflection, introspection, contemplation and, of course, gratitude.
     Without these interruptions, I wouldn't have been available to notice and wonder about the robins which have taken to nesting in my backyard. Last year, we only had a nesting pair of doves. Now, I'm happy to celebrate the new life they're bringing to the neighborhood and delight in watching them prance along the sidewalks, getting their morning exercise.
     If I'd been in a funk, I couldn't have taken delight in the advancing new growth on my lime tree -- young shoots sprouting out in anticipation of fruiting.
     I would have missed the visits from my favorite totem, the red-tailed hawk, sailing along outside my window. Mesmerized, I envied the ability of my winged cousin to soar willfully and purposefully upon air current, seemingly without effort. My rainbows have been sprouting about in abundance, reminding me I am divinely guided and protected.
     I could go on and on laying out all the things I have been privileged to witness in this time of enforced solitude.
     In the old days, my fearful old self would have walked along the edge of despair, allowing the shadows to consume my light. Eventually, energetically diminished and filled with melancholy, I would have stepped out into the abyss, free falling into depression and anxiety, finding excuses to alleviate my consuming self-guilt.
     I never could have anticipated the space would be filled with new clients and new opportunities for which I am eternally grateful. Sometimes the message is to "slow down". Other times, it's simply divine intervention -- drawing your attention to something. No matter, it's important you are able to "listen" and hear when you are being guided and willingly allow your life to be interrupted.
     In this moment, I give thanks and gratitude for being made over and whole. A new person, I am living a life filled with joy and unanticipated delights. I know I will never return to those days because I have healed and shed that past.
     Living my life in the NOW is just another example that belief shifting really does work and it can work for anyone. I work with people all the time, reminding them that yesterday is past and tomorrow's not yet promised. Yes, it's hard work to change your self-talk and shift your beliefs. Small miracles go unnoticed by most everyday.
     You can't control everything, but you can control how you choose to perceive what happens. The reward for living in the NOW reminds us it's necessary at times to stop, smell the roses and experience the beauty of life which is all around you. Spirit never closes one door without preparing to open a new one!
     Change your thoughts; be open and allowing to what comes into your life!

New Affirmation: I AM DIVINELY GUIDED AND FULLY SUPPORTED IN MY ACTIONS!

No Limits!

Spring has officially been ushered in! It’s time to dust off the cobwebs of inactivity and procrastination. Even now, gearing up to nurture and grow your long-held dream seeds, there are those who will find ways to be limited – are you one of them?

When obstacles appear, it’s easy to allow distraction to divert attention away from what you want to accomplish. If you’re constantly settling for “it is what it is” instead of achieving your heart’s desires, maybe it’s time to take a look at your self-talk.

It takes 8 positive and affirming messages to undo the harm done by 1 unconstructive idea or thought.  Putting limits on yourself, and/or listening to the pessimistic or unflattering opines of others, inadvertently increases the obstacles to be overcome on your way to success. In other words, you end up working harder, rather than smarter, to achieve your goals.

Instead of “I can’t”, shift your vocabulary towards actionable, self-validating words. The shortest sentence in the English vocabulary, “I AM, “is also the strongest affirmation one can make, because it accents and emphasizes statements and actions.

Yes, there are going to be some things which may be beyond one’s physical capability to accomplish – notice I didn’t use the word “limitation”. That’s because there are always going to be things we strive for which will require thinking outside the box. 

For example, if I suddenly want to be a 6-ft tall model, most people would tell me it will never happen. If I allow myself to be caught up in their unenthusiastic thinking, I wouldn’t be open to creatively exploring possible options. 

However, I choose to affirm “I AM a 6-ft tall model,” therefore, at 5’7”, the first thing I’ve got to do is find a gorgeous pair of 5-inch platform heels! Next, I grab a camera and ask a friend to be my photographer. Voila!  I AM a 6-ft tall model! 

There’s always a creative solution to be found, especially when putting one’s mind to work. The intellect doesn’t know that something is or is not possible – that’s Ego stepping in and putting the brakes on. Tell Ego to lay off the brake, while you entertain some unconventional solutions to your prickliest challenges!

It’s all about perspective and being open to possibilities, rather than shutting down and falling into the negativity trap. Think about what you can do to accomplish a goal rather than focusing time and energy on obstacles. Give yourself permission to explore new ways of making things happen. Start practicing on little issues and, as you get more comfortable, move up to bigger obstacles. 

Change your thoughts; change your focus and celebrate your creativity!

Dream of the Seven Sisters

I found myself walking along a quiet secluded beach. The moon shone brightly wrapped in gauzy clouds.  Water lapped the shoreline and I was alone. As I walked, I noticed something gleaming from among the billions of tiny crystal shards of sand. Stopping to check it out, I knelt down and found seven exquisitely beautiful pearls.  Perfectly round luminous beauties, they glistened in the moonlight like sparkling diamonds.

There was something energetically profound about them. Sitting down, I caressed each one in my hand. The spheres vibrated in my presence, letting me know I was free to pick them up and carry them home.

I wrapped them in a piece of gold silk cloth I found in the pocket of my skirt.  The fabric was long enough to wrap each one securely so they wouldn’t scrape against each other in my pocket. Having secured my treasures, I wistfully looked into the night sky and gave thanks for the unexpected bounty.

Back home, I carefully unwrapped each one, bathing it in a light bath of crystal-infused water to clean away any remaining sandy grit.  At that point, I wasn’t sure what to do with them so I placed them on a clean piece of silk on my altar waiting for inspiration.

For several weeks they remained unmoved, sparkling in the sunlight which dawned each morning and glistening in effervescent hues under the moon’s gaze each evening. For hours at a time, I sat and meditated, lost in time. 

Awakening from one of my trances, I realized I had finally gotten clear instructions. The pearls were to be fashioned into jewelry. Each stone was a huge reservoir of ethereal energy, but for me to claim the magick, I had to consciously wear them on my body.

The first one said its name is Courage.  It asked to be placed in a ring to remind me every day that I have the focus and clarity to move forward and accomplish my goals. It reminds me that we are all divine sparks having a physical existence. It is here to accelerate my growth and accomplishments. 

The second one named itself Truth. It was placed in a silver cage to wear in a necklace. Touching my throat the only sounds it allows are those of universal love. Opening my mouth to speak, the voice which issues forth is melodic and embellished with the sound of creation energy.

The twins are named Virtue and Compassion. Set in matching silver crescents, they nest on my earlobes. They allow me to hear beauty and remind me to pay attention and listen. Tuned into the spirit world, they amplify the small voices and communicate messages I am charged with delivering from souls that have passed over.

Wisdom was placed in a diadem to wear as a crown upon my brow. Her job is to keep my vibration high and allow me to discard unnecessary noise which clouds ordinary sight. Through Wisdom I am given the gifts of channeling and prophecy.

The final two are indeed another twin pair, Gratitude and Forgiveness. Like Wonder Woman’s bracelets they embedded themselves into a matching pair of silver cuffs. They remind me to be purposeful in my actions and to remember to give thanks for the showers of abundance which surround me.

The seven sisters came to Earth to enrich my life. Their gifts are what I share with the world.

Each one of us has gifts we are given to heal ourselves and help the world around us. Need, a little help exploring your special talents? Click here to contact me. I love working with people interested in doing the work required for personal transformation and who are willing to invest in themselves. Take the first step on your empowerment journey!

Dreams and Other Visions

I was preparing to gently drift off to sleep. Suddenly, I find myself in the middle of a meadow that stretches seemingly forever. 

There's calm and beauty all around me and no one else as far as I can see. The huge, golden sun orb pleasantly warms my face.  The grasses around me dance a choreographed ballet in the gentle breeze. I am surrounded by cascades and articulations of rare and exquisite flowers, their aphrodisiac scents elevating my mood. In the distance, I can hear a waterfall, though I am unable to see it.

Unable to move from this spot, it crosses my mind I have actually stepped into Summerland - the place where souls go when they transition from one phase of being to the next. As most people never glimpse Summerland until they transition, I find myself excited by this spontaneous visitation and welcome the opportunity to interact consciously in the place outside of time.

Turning to look behind me, I notice what appears to be a purple pathway appearing out of nowhere. I recognize it as a flowing, unfurling ribbon of semi-translucent purple silk. As it reaches me, the sumptuous fabric wraps itself loosely around me and continues on its way over the horizon until I can no longer see the ribbon's end.  

The fabric dances against my skin, releasing luminous iridescent sparkles overhead - like pixie dust.  Dancing higher and higher, the sparkles magically transform into beautiful flights of colorful butterflies, their wing scales reflecting radiantly against the sunlit backdrop. Soon the sky fills with the soft, lilting flutter of butterfly wings spiraling above me like a funnel to the heavens.

As the billowing silk continues flowing through the air ahead of me, I keep hearing, "... just follow the thread". The voice is light and airy, drifting through my consciousness carried on the wind. If I hadn't been paying attention, I would have missed the message, which keeps repeating, so I close my eyes to take it all in. Upon opening them again, I realize I am no longer alone. 

Her name is Sabella. In spirit form, the only part I am able to discern comes from her penetrating and luminous green eyes - like large fire lit emeralds. In my head, I hear her voice, "You are where you think you are, in the place between worlds. 

"Follow the thread; you are clearly on your path. The inspiration you bring will take flight and transform many."

Without another word, she reaches deep inside my body and places her hand directly on my heart. I experience a powerful surge of healing energy and a massive infusion of unconditional love. I fall asleep with warmth radiating throughout my body. 

I sleep peacefully and awaken spiritually content, my heart filled with joy, ecstasy and excitement for the journey ahead.

I accept this confirmation of my work and these transformative gifts with grace and elegance, realizing as one person, I can effect change elsewhere.

If you're looking to make changes which will result in living a full, confident and empowering life, IntuitiveGoddesse wants to work with you!
