How to: find your power in the chaos

Image
Have you ever had one of those moments...where it feels like everything is falling apart? You know.  Where you're standing on a cliff edge, unable to see or sense what comes next... I've got a little secret.  The chaos you're feeling? It’s not here to destroy you. It’s here to set you free . Right now, the world is asking us to shed the old ways of surviving...so we can step into a truer way of living. If you’re in the thick of it, if the ground beneath your feet feels shaky, this post is for you. Right now, things are INTENSE, my friends. I get it. Almost every single soul that I've talked to is undergoing some deep transformative experience.  Astrologically we have Mars in Leo in an opposition to Pluto in Aquarius.  This energy is about radical change that challenges the very core of how we operate on a subconscious level.  If you are going through something intense at the moment -- please know that it will pass.  Many of those I've spoken to recently...

How to: upgrade your life

BEEEEEP BEEEEEP BEEEEP BEEEEEP Noooooo not AGAIN.  UGH.  My smoke alarm was wailing loudly, demanding I pay attention to whatever was causing that horrible smell in my kitchen. I raced downstairs in my pjs, hair half curled -- to hastily grab an oven mit and yank open the oven door.  Black smoke floated out of my oven around a sad piece of charred black sourdough f or the second time this week.  Craaaaap. I sigh as I carry the cookie sheet over to the trash bin and toss the toast, feeling dejected. And ...hungry.  I'm rushing out the door, and I don't have a toaster, so I have a habit of throwing my toast under the broiler on 550 degrees -- and walking away to go get ready for my day. Yeahhhh.  I know, this isn't the BEST pattern. It is one that has not served me well.  And usually results in burnt toast, a horrible smell, and a smoke alarm that very loudly announces juuust how much you screwed up at 7:30am. Fantastic. Here's the thing though. I burned...

New Year, More Alignment

Let me ask you a question. Who... or what... did you want to be when you grew up? Think back to when you were a child, when someone asked you this -- what was your first response? I know, it may seem silly.  But it's fun to do. Think back to when there was no pressure to be... anything. Did you want to be...an astronaut? Ms. America? The President of the United States? A deep sea diver? Mine was...a teacher. Yup. Specifically, a music teacher. I LOVED music. In fact, I still love to sing.  I took many years of piano lessons and though those didn't really catch on as much, I can still plunk out "Happy Birthday"and "Carol of the Bells"...surprisingly!! But...it was my beloved grandfather (who had HAD this job, once upon a time) who told me that it wouldn't bring me happiness. This honestly made me very sad at the time.  I wanted to be like him. I wanted to offer joy through music to people, as he did. But he told me that it would not make me a lot of mone...

How to: ditch the doubt and trust yourself

"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change".  -- Carl Rogers Ever had one of those instances that shifted your whole view of yourself in a single moment? Where suddenly, you felt like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz going from black and white to a multi-colored, prismatic world? A total, eye-opening occasion.  I had one of these moments about two years ago...but it wasn't pretty! I'd been feeling really anxious, so I made an appointment with one of my mentors who has been truly influential on my spiritual journey.  I opened up Zoom, and we started chatting, and after about 10 minutes of talking.... ...I received the equivalent of a swift, hard smack across the face. OW.  Yup.  Lynnette is one of those incredible people that truly says it like it is, no sugar-coating... and in that moment...I was really struggling. With fear.  I had a TON of fear.  Fear of criticism from others. Fear of failure. Fear of bein...
