 I have started a new practice this year. Every Sunday morning, as I do yoga and meditate, I listen to my body and my heart and select a word or a phrase for the week and see how this quality can assist me. This week I selected the phrase... Magical Support This is how my week went... Monday: I went to Home Depot and ordered 7 windows. The window expert assisted me in saving as much money as possible. 15% + $6.59. He didn't have to do this (as it really isn't part of his job), however he decided that this was a service he was going to offer to everyone that asked for his assistance. He used to be a general contractor and knows that every penny saved on a current project means that the next project will be started sooner rather than later. Got to love that... I'm here to save you money!!! Tuesday: I felt overwhelmed with my work schedule/focus for the year. Out of the blue, a friend sent me a text stating... "Hope ur day is going well. You just popped into my head so I thought I would send you a message." Wednesday: I was feeling frustrated with my to-do list and my calendar, as it wasn't allowing me the space, I wanted in order to meet the new Art Director at the local Coffee Shop. I expressed my disappointment to a friend via text and she sent me a meme that made me laugh.... "Super woman coming through! Move out of the way!" Thursday: Another friend sent me a text and told me... You are my hero! Friday: I sat in awe looking back at how the week unfolded simply by asking for Magical Support. Who knew asking for magical support would be so easy!!! Isn't it interesting how living with a word or a phrase for a week, can provide such insight. What word or phrase would you like to invite into your life this week?

 I started the year with a new exercise routine. By the end of week 2, I had to stop due to my knee not particularity liking knee lunges. My knee was telling me... If I don't stop going in this direction, I'm going to cause some real damage! I was frustrated and upset. I had a goal. I had a plan. I was off to a great start. I was making progress and now, due to circumstances out of my control, I have to stop. As I rested my knee, I started questioning myself... How am I going to meet my goals for the year? Time is ticking away! As I sat on the sofa relaxing, I remembered how I have mentored many clients through "plot twists" (unplanned outside circumstances) that threw them off course. Clients that came to me panicking, grasping for solutions, and feeling like failures. I guess it is time for me to start taking some of my own medicine. So, I...
After taking a step back, re-connecting to the energy of the season, and re-evaluating my plan, I realized that I didn't make any space for fun this year. No wonder why my knee was telling me to STOP!!! So, while I sat on the sofa this past week, I spent the time reviewing my list of commitments, my list of goals, and aligning everything with my phrase for the year "Luxurious Simplicity". The result... The creation of a Spacious Calendar for 2023 that aligns my goals with lots of time and space for creative fun! How are you doing this January? Are you taking time to nurture yourself or are you "running with scissors" to the finish line? Is your body telling you something is off? If so, ask your body what it really needs. You might be surprised by the answer. MAGICAL THINGS TO CHECK OUT  How do you dream 2023 into Being? Clients ask me this question a lot. So, with the start of the new year, I thought I would share my simple "boots on the ground" Shamanic approach with everyone. Below is my simple 3 steps:
Dreaming your new life into being is that simple! There is no overly complicated formula. For example.... last year I selected the word SPACIOUS for the year. Every day I would take one step towards making my life more spacious. Every day I would ask myself a simple question "Does this action make me feel spacious?" As a result, I decluttered my space of items that didn't make me feel spacious. I decluttered my over booked calendar and made space for spontaneous events. I decluttered my old stories and beliefs around time and money and made space for fun and creativity. By the end of 12/2022, my life felt spacious. For 2023, I decided to select the phrase: LUXURIOUS SIMPLICITY. This phrase popped into my head while doing yoga during the holiday season and made me feel soft and fluffy, so I selected it. So how do I move forward dreaming this phase into being? I simply live with the phase daily. How? By asking myself the simple question "Does this action bring luxurious simplicity to my life? If the action doesn't align with my phrase, I make a note of it and take action to minimize and/or stop the action from re-appearing in the future. Recently my Shamanic Mentor reached out to me and asked me: How am I connecting deeper to nature this winter? As I live in Northern Illinois, I tend to hibernate during the winter, so spending a lot of time outside in nature, tends to be a struggle with me. So, I asked myself the question, does connecting deeper to nature this winter bring luxurious simplicity to my life? YES!!! So how can I connect deeper to nature this winter and bring more luxurious simplicity to my life (without freezing my @ss off?). Are you ready for the answer..... Connect to Rocks and Crystals and Create a Crystal Sound Essence Series Yup, that's right. A client asked me if my plant device would work on crystals. So, I tested it out and the answer is yes/no. For some rocks and crystals, it works and for others it does not. So, my action to connect deeper with nature during the winter and feel luxurious simplicity is to go through my giant pile of crystals and rocks find which ones will sing for me.

For the past year, as I've been moving towards my dreams of...
Old Money Stories kept popping up. Stories like...
And as each of these money stories appeared, it would stop me in my tracks. Moving forward towards my dreams became harder and harder. To the point where I would wake up in the middle of the night questioning myself as thoughts of running out of money danced through my head. It was exhausting. So much time and energy being spent on worrying about "am I doing the right thing?" followed by fears of "what if". I even started to have a reoccurring dream about a house where the roof caved in because I couldn't afford to replace it. And at that point, I told myself, enough is enough, and I took a step back and listed the times I had no money. I was down to $100 once (right after college graduation while I was looking for a full-time job). But beyond that, I've always had enough money. Maybe not enough to live the extravagant lifestyle of my dreams, but always enough money to have nice clothes, a nice car, make house repairs, go on vacation, and save money. So, over the course of the past 6 months, I really sat with and studied my money stories and discovered something interesting. These money stories aren't mine! As I unraveled each story, I could identify a story of my own that was the complete opposite. For example: I moved forward with creating my oracle card deck, the story "this is a waste of money" kept playing in my head. So, I unraveled the story and remembered an experience I had in high school. I wanted to go to ballet classes, so I signed up and used my own money to pay for the classes. Yes, my parents told me that it was a waste of money (and that I should get a part time job instead), however to this day it was the best money I ever spent! I got to meet a community of artists that encouraged me to pursue my dreams (I became a member of the Rockford Dance Company) and to travel the world (10+ countries and still counting). I realized... These are ancestorial, community, and cultural money stories. And as I unraveled these shadow money stories hiding within myself, I discovered something very fascinating. As an intuitive empath, I was actually picking up other people's money stories as if they were my own (hence the roof caving in dream). How crazy is that! And as I spent more time working with Shamanic Reiki, I discovered... By releasing these shadow money stories, within myself, I made space for my own natural gifts to emerge... Guiding and teaching people how to release their own old, outdated stories and beliefs so that they can pursue their dreams and shine. The Goodbye 2002, Hello 2023 Shamanic Sound Journey (below) gives you a sample of how I will be guiding and teaching people this year. If this speaks to you, please check out my January Workshop - Rewrite Your Money Story (below). Are you ready to release your money stories in 2023 and step into prosperity?
