Move through the waves

Hello Loves. I have been enjoying my kids this summer and have been traveling for my older son’s lacrosse tournament this past weekend. Now they are with their Dad for a few days, and so I have been connecting with friends and enjoying some me time. Being a single parent has been a rewarding experience and can also be a bit lonely. It’s tough sometimes doing it all by myself, and there are also many blessings that come with it. And through the almost 4 years that my two boys and I have been a beautiful tribe, we have such a level of respect and honor for one another and our paths and what we are all growing into. I would never be at the place I am today without taking that incredibly difficult leap of ending my marriage of 20 years to step into my heart and ultimately my life purpose. I knew I had to take that step, but it didn’t make it any easier to jump. And yet, life took over and moved me where I needed to go.

My journey has taken over ten years to reach this place of moving fully with the flow of life. As Melissa and I spoke about last week in our interview, I don’t want it to take you that long. I had built up so many walls around my heart for protection that many times I resisted what was opening up for me because I needed to stay in control. And as we know, control is an absolute illusion. Ego will take over every time if we let allow it, but your heart has the bigger picture in view. And it will only show you one frame at a time – not the entire show.

Now the river of life keeps bringing me to more expansive and blissful Love – inside myself and for others. The journey and process never ends, and I am in excitement for the next step. And when it shows up, that doesn’t mean I won’t have a bit of nervousness or trepidation about leaping. I will. It’s always a choice to move with it or not. The biggest awareness for me is knowing when life is presenting the opportunity. Spirit says book the trip to Hawaii. We are wanting to go and that seems a little expensive right now, and I just so happen to have enough miles for 3 free tickets. Trip booked. I will also get a referral check now from another business of mine in August that will cover the hotel and tours we want to do. Move with the river, and miracles open up.

Life is meant to be fun. It is meant to be lived in joy. We are blissful, heart-centered beings that are meant to love and be loved. The only way we can continue to get there is to be open. Remember that pain is often unavoidable but the suffering is optional. Don’t outrun the pain but instead just allow it to flow as the water flows over the rocks. If you dam it up, the flow gets stopped and builds up until nothing is moving. So today, smile at your perceived mistakes and love everything about you instead. Let go a little more of the self-judgement that you aren’t doing it right, you’re too fat, you didn’t parent well enough, or that you aren’t on the right track. Step into the flow of life a bit more and laugh. Play. Relax. Life will move you where it needs you to go anyway, so you might as well enjoy right now.

I will be doing a live preview call at Noon today as we are one week out to the start of the online heart amplification gathering. The 6 week, one hour a week calls start next Wednesday, August 1st. I want to see you there! Make that commitment to you, LEAP, and step into your heart and heal, release, and deepen into your soul and learn how to listen to what is coming through. It’s the only way to live.

We are Love. xo
