When The Magic Comes Back

August was interesting.

And somewhat exhausting.  I had so many lessons coming down from the Universe that it felt like the month would never end.   So many endings.  So many deep lessons from within.

But this weekend it all changed.

I woke up Saturday morning early.  It finally cooled down here in Seattle and was raining. I decided to take myself out for coffee in the early morning to write.  I needed to balance myself out and the only thing I know that truly allows me to feel balanced is writing.  As I was enjoying my Italian coffee and sparkling water, I realized what I wanted to do the most on Saturday was spend the day in silence working on my vision board.   This is a cork board I had bought myself in March but had yet to do anything with.
Saturday I was moved to finish it.  I wanted my vision of my future to finally be put down in images.
I went to the store and bought some magazines and went home to work on my project.  Chai Tea, my porch door open while the rain came down and silence.  It was perfect.  I felt so inspired by the images I was cutting out.  They feel so real.
I completed the board and hung it up on my wall.  It's so different than if I had completed it in March.  It's so much more authentic and on point.  I have shed so much since March and have gotten very clear on what I want my future to look like.

Right after I finished the board and lit my magic dream candle next to it, I saw a text from my favorite astrologer.   It said something like - the story from March is done.  You are now ready for the future.

Whoa!

I looked up the date from March in my journal and saw that this was the exact weekend I bought my vision board cork board.  And yet, it took me until this weekend to complete it.   I had so many lessons to learn. And I needed to get clear on what my vision for my future looks like beyond just "success".

I spent the rest of the day in a magical space as I realized when I just allow myself to be guided by magical timing.  That everything ends up making sense and there is a reason for it.
I could not finish the vision board until this weekend because it would not have been authentic. I would have questioned what I put on it.
But now, if I even attempt to question my vision board, it does not feel right.  My vision board feels like my truth.  Not my critical ego mind.
But it took me until now to live this truth.

I am so happy the magic has come back in a big way.  I am ready for my transformation and to help more people.

Ritual For This Creative Season

This last week has been roller coaster energy.  There have been so many lessons coming from the Universe.   Most of them have been good but some have been hard as well.   It has been a good but exhausting week.  A week where I was truly grateful it ended on Friday.

But then something beautiful happened.  I woke up Saturday morning in a delicious creative space.  I suddenly wanted to dream again.  I wanted to take my time this weekend reworking on my big vision in life.  I wanted to create new vision maps.  I wanted to write in a new journal.  I wanted to sit in silence.

What I realized in doing all of the above was thanks to all the work I have been doing this year on working on my vision of what I want to create in life, is that my vision is bigger and more beautiful than before.   I am expanding on all levels.  My world is becoming bigger and my dreams are closer than ever.

What a great dive into creative energy this weekend has been.  Now as we roll into the energy of the super moon, I can feel where Jupiter is ready for me to expand my life.  My creative juices are on fire. The veil between my dream world and my everyday world is thin and expanding all at once.

I am encouraging all my clients right now to dive back into your dream in a creative way.  Because your dream may not be big enough yet and right now the Universe really wants us to dream big!

Ritual for the Full Moon

Take the time in the next week to create a new vision board or dream journal.   Start with the old dream and add more to it.  More feelings, more details, more color!  How good could you stand this dream?  Then add more to it.  
Sit down with a special candle that you will burn from today to the night of August 29th.  Create this vision board with it.   Light it everyday and spend a few minutes each day thinking about your dream. Then start looking for clues that the universe is listening.  Because I promise the Universe is listening.  These signs could show up as feathers, grasshoppers, butterfly's, your favorite song, old friends coming back into your life, new friends, a delicious book that is just what you needed to hear. There are so many signs the universe likes to place in our path.  If we are listening, watching and expecting these  signs, we will see them.

So go out and get creative!

Missing Pieces

The last few weeks have been tough.  I am not going to lie.   Usually I can weather the storms but these last few weeks have been hard.  I have not had this hard of a time since launching my company.   I have felt uncomfortable in my skin.  Work situations have felt difficult.   I suddenly have been feeling like my life doesn’t fit me anymore.  It’s been painful.

And yet there have been good things as well.  I have this amazing support group of wonderful friends and clients.   I feel healthy and beautiful.   I have been having these amazing sessions with my clients.  It’s been confusing to have so much good with so much uncomfortable.

Then Tuesday night it was like a part of me returned back to myself.   I can’t really explain it any more than that.   I suddenly have a piece of myself that has been missing for almost twenty years.   I was flooded with memories and energy that felt like home but also like a long lost friend returning.   This piece me of was the young girl that always wanted to be a ritual coach.  I didn’t know what it was at the time.  I just knew I wanted to help people and live in a magical world.  But then high school started and I had to think about my future.  At that time the idea I could do things like Ritual Coaching as a real job did not exist.   

So this piece of me has finally returned.  I have spent the day amazed that she is back.   I am going to do some energy work this weekend to welcome her home.   I know having her back may change some things in my life but it will all be for the best.   Because she is truly pure and authentic.   She is my magic healer and magic maker.  She is going to change my life in a beautiful way.

Take some time today to think about what pieces of your spirit want to come back in.   Where does life feel uncomfortable?  Where are you blocking your true voice?

 If you spend some time thinking about this,  you will discover a diamond in the field of mud.  And you will be inspired to take the next step!

Harvesting Love - New Moon Ritual

Harvesting Love - New Moon Ritual

This new moon is all about harvesting love. The new moon also happens to fall on a day when Venus and the sun meet which is called a Venus Star Point. Which means this new moon is a great new moon to think about what your dream is for the next 8 years of your life when it comes to love and home. What does this look like. What will make your heart and spirit sing?
Spend some time this new moon thinking about what you have learned over the summer. What fears have come up? What painful situations have surfaced that need to be cleared out?

What do you deeply desire?

We have come out of the loss and struggle of the summer. The amount of energy required this summer has been exhausting! It’s now time to start harvesting these seeds we have planted. Let’s keep working on the vision. Think of the next few new moon rituals like pruning the new growth of your vision. How can you get even more clear on your vision? How can you align more closely with what your heart truly wants.

Friday night I suggest you wear something that makes you feel lovely, sexy or feeds your heart. You should have a meal that feeds your soul. You should light as many candles as you can because this new moon is all about fire. And you should write about what your vision for love looks like in your life over the next 8 years.

Does this vision mean you will be married? Single? Having a baby? Finally an empty nester? Does this vision mean you will be working for yourself? Does it mean you will be adopting new fur babies?

The point is, how can you create a life you truly LOVE?

Write two copies of your list and save one. Then burn one and watch the smoke go up into the air.
You are releasing.

There has been so much loss and pressure this summer. We all need to release. Release and trust that the universe has provided the nutrients needed to grow our intentions and that harvest season is upon us.

Juicy New Moon

It’s going to be a juicy new moon.   Thanks to the work I have been doing since the start of the new year, I am very clear on my vision for this new life I am creating and everything I set as an intention on New Year’s Eve is coming true.  Pinch me – I love this life!  

The new moon in August is the Lover’s moon.   Ohhhh one of my favorite topics.

Love and Business.

When I was at the loft I set my intention in this magical circle of ladies to combine my love wish jar and my business wish jar.   This has been happening over the last few months without my realizing it.   Before I arrived at the loft I had a couple of encounters with successful men that made me realize these two areas of my life need to combine into one big vision.  And since the blue moon, this is the perfect discovery and intention to focus on.   How can I weave these two dreams together?  How can I infuse love into my life more?  The energy right now is ripe for change and manifesting new visions in life. 

Where are you infusing love into your life?  How can you add it more to your daily life?   What would your life look like if you LOVED every part of it?

These are the questions that I am working on with my clients at the moment.  

We are also working on Power dynamics.   I have been getting deep into the question of power dynamics in relationships.   What’s my sweet spot?  What’s your sweet spot?  I keep asking myself  about what I consider power to be.   At first I answered this question by saying – success and having money.  But then as I dug deeper I realized power has many definitions.  And I need to be able to understand it more.  

This is something I am thinking about and will have more to talk about in future posts.

For now- I am going to do my intention work now between now and the lovers new moon.    

These ladies have my heart

Thank you Kristin Davis and Hannah Marcotti for this amazing weekend and photograph!

What a delicious weekend.  I spent the last 48 hrs. with these women nestled into the Loft.  We connected, shared and opened up.  It was powerful and beautiful.   I am so grateful and blessed to have met these beautiful women and felt safe and powerful enough to announce my truth to them.

This was a long needed trip to connect with like minded people.   It was also a huge step forward for my company and my new career.  

Lift up weekend at the loft

I am on the east coast for a women's circle for this blue moon full moon and I could not have picked a better place to be.

Lessons, release, love, release.... Magic

These are my themes this weekend.  

Release.  Come home to my authentic self.  I am so inspired to be here right now.  

More to come......
