Speak what you think now in hard words, and tomorrow speak what tomorrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said today. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Imagine your future self, ie, you 10 years from now. If he/she were to send you a tweet or text message, 1) what would it say and 2) how would that transform your life or change something you’re doing, thinking, believing or saying today?

1) what would it say:
Open soul. Heart hearing. Joy reveling. A human laughing all the way to heaven.
Eternally expanding, breaking open, reconstructing and transforming into MORE.
Be without limits or restrictions.
Give permission to all expressions and out-breaths.
Never forget. Keep remembering.  Love is you.

And then I would tweet myself the invitation:

2) how would that transform your life or change something you’re doing, thinking, believing or saying today?
It would remind me that I am always on the divine journey, eternally expanding into greater depths of "me".

A creation tugged at me.  It slept within me anxiosly awaiting it's birth.  i shared it with a dear friend and lo and behold...a miracle occured!

My Goddess Spirit SiSTAR, Maya AND I got together and created something fun and FULLhearted!  Our love and connection for the nature spirits and elemental folk wanted to come out and play!  So in celebration of International Fairy Day (June 24th) we began a joyfilled project of a precious picture story book that we now graciously gift to YOU!  Click below to download or go to the Goodies For YOU page!

Oh Goodness!  It was such a creativity ride and we definitely got to dance with the faeries!  Enjoy and Happy Monday!

PS.
This is how I am celebrating!  The faeries made me do it.

My children and I journeyed out to play with the Faerie Folk!  Here's what we found.

Thank you Faeries for making my Thursday magical!

Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.” is a great line from Emerson. If there’s no enthusiasm in what you do, it won’t be remarkable and certainly won’t connect with people on an emotional basis. But, if you put that magic energy into all of your work, you can create something that touches people on a deeper level. How can you bring MORE enthusiasm into your work? What do you have to think or believe about your work to be totally excited about it? Answer it now.

My enthusiasm blares when I am living for me.
Others can connect with me and are inspired when I am living for me.
I am more joyous and content when I am living for me.
Enthusiasm flows freely when you live out your passions.
This glows and others get to experience it's radiance.
Be eager and excited.
Live for you.

Only two miracles are worth seeing:
The miracle of loving
And
The miracle of forgiving.

One BIG miracle hit me this weekend. A BIG one that brought me to tears. It may seem really simple and overlooked at times, but it needs to be appreciated more and felt in BIG MIRACULOUS ways!

The miracle of love visited me one night.
Knocked on the door of my heart from the inside.
I greeted it and cried just to be in its pure presence.
Holy it is.
Sacred and...powerful.
It floated among the room, warmed my toes and glided above my bed and hovered.
Gazing into my eyes and silently sending love into my body and deep into my soul.
Moment of realization.
Love permeates ALL.
All is LOVE.

I felt it when my kids hugged me good night.
I felt it when I adored my new and very frilly summer night gown.
I felt it as my love reached for my hand right before bed just to hold it.
I felt it when I realized all is well.
I felt it when I...just that...Realized it's always there.

Okay, so I know this and have experienced this, but it seems as if it grows in strength as I expand higher, wider and greater!

Love to all from the softest part of my heart.

What I must do is all that concerns me, not what the people think. This rule, equally arduous in actual and in intellectual life, may serve for the whole distinction between greatness and meanness. It is the harder, because you will always find those who think they know what is your duty better than you know I. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

I once received a fortune cookie that read: “Speak less of your plans, you’ll get more done.” What’s one project that you’ve been sitting on and thinking about but haven’t made progress on? What’s stopping you? What would happen if you actually went for it and did it?

My art and crafty projects.

Pure procrastination.  I crowd my schedule with other things that stray me away from the art and to be honest here, I LOVE CREATING, so I can sometimes take on too many projects.  I need to remind myself that I am a one-woman-show and take on little pieces.

I would be able to fill my online shop and create pieces that others might enjoy, but most importantly...it would be such a release of artistic expression bringing me a sense of F R E E D O M !

Greatness appeals to the future. If I can be firm enough to-day to do right, and scorn eyes, I must have done so much right before as to defend me now. Be it how it will, do right now. Always scorn appearances, and you always may. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Trusting intuition and making decisions based on it is the most important activity of the creative artist and entrepreneur. If you are facing (and fearing) a difficult life decision, ask yourself these three questions:

1) “What are the costs of inaction?” I find it can be helpful to fight fear with fear. Fears of acting are easily and immediately articulated by our “lizard brains” (thanks Seth) e.g. what if I fail? what if I look stupid? If you systematically and clearly list the main costs of inaction, they will generally overshadow your immediate fears.

2) “What kind of person do I want to be?” I’ve found this question to be extremely useful. I admire people who act bravely and decisively. I know the only way to join their ranks is to face decisions that scare me. By seeing my actions as a path to becoming something I admire, I am more likely to act and make the tough calls.

3) “In the event of failure, could I generate an alterative positive outcome?” Imagine yourself failing to an extreme. What could you learn or do in that situation to make it a positive experience? We are generally so committed to the results we seek at the outset of a task or project that we forget about all the incredible value and experience that comes from engaging the world proactively, learning, and improving our circumstances as we go along.

My partner often describes this in one simple, yet very visual sentence: "It would be like putting a butterfly in a jar". I must live out tese dreams!  I find it helpful to see fear as a call for it's opposite: Love. Fear needs love too. A gentle mama hand and kind words that whisper, "It’s okay, you're just not sure of the outcome" and confidently asks while gazing into your soul, "don't you remember who you really are?" I like to see fear as an indicator to do all things fully aligned in love and in return I am always being guided to more of it.

Brave, yes...yet sensitive to any intuitive guidance. Even if it comes in the form of fear. Fear is an emotion; it has a purpose and a message. Its message could be is that something you are currently doing isn't quite a match to what you want. I do not want to desensitize this guidance by overriding it with more fear. I can see fear as a sign to look deeper into something, find the love in it first, and then approach it when I am united in heart.

Always remain open to the gifts of any situation or experience.  See the many possibilites in each impossibility.  Remember Impossible is really I'm-possible.

Abide in the simple and noble regions of thy life, obey thy heart. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Write down your top three dreams. Now write down what’s holding you back from them.

Build a mystery school of expressive and kinesthetic learning for creative souls as healers, teachers and aspiring masters of the Divine Self.  The mystery is really "you".  A beautiful and magical mystery you are!

What's holding me back?
Well, nothing really.  It's like pregnancy.  The stages of coming into being.  Wonderous things have an incubation period.  I am living the early stages right now.  Happily expecting a beautiful bundle of joy. 

A beautiful space for this very experiential learning. Somewhere surrounded by nature, color, and reminders of Spirit.  A space to play, garden, connect, create, share and commune.

What's holding me back?
I am a believer in dreams coming true and divine timing.  I am patient with an intuitive wise knowing that all will arrive according to it's time.  I used to be one of the persons that needed the dream to arrive in order to experience it, but in my growth I now understand that the creation process is the glorious journey!

Create products, eCOURSEs, organize PLAYshops and reTREATS that will speak to your soul and bring out your spirit!

What's holding me back?
Nothing!  So working on this now!  Living the dream is birthing it!

The dream becomes- when you live in its energetic existence. Keep being the dream and experience its essence OFTEN!
