This year is a year of empowerment, of stepping outside of your comfort zone and discovering your true potential and your moxie. You know you have moxie when you start living outside of your comfort zone.

​Here are 10 moxie actions disguised as discomfort. 

• Saying "NO".
• Putting your own needs first.
• Walking away from toxic relationships.
• Following your intuition instead of following the crowd.
• Consulting your heart first instead of your to-do list.
• Removing items from your house that prevent you from moving forward.
• Having the courage to speak your truth.
• Realizing that you can no longer do it alone and instead ask for help.
• Allowing yourself to shine.
• Taking yourself on an "artist date" as coined by Julian Cameron in the book The Artist's Way

Yesterday was Earth Day.  I find it rather odd that we have designed a special day on our calendar to remind ourselves to honor the be kind to the Earth 1 day a year.  What if, instead, we started to honor the Earth daily and make it part of our daily routine?  Some examples:

• Mow the grass high enough not to disturb the dandelions and feed the bees.
• Grow native plants and feed the bees and the birds.
• Grow your own flowers.
• Plant trees.
• Have a conversation with the plants.
• Twirl with the wind.
• Take regular walks in nature and admire the sights and sounds of nature.
• Watch a sunrise or a sunset and admire nature's own daily rhythm.
• Sit on your deck at dusk and watch the swallows swoop down and eat mosquitos.
• Sprinkle some dried tobacco or herbs around your yard and bless the land you live on.

Do you ever get an intuitive nudge and say...

I think I will...
But then you stop dead in your tracks and ask yourself...

Where is this going?
What is the plan?
I don't have time for this!

Your brain then kicks in with past experiences, overrides your intuitive nudge, and says...

You can't do that!
It makes no sense!
It will cost money!
What will other people think?

And when you ask a close friend or family member, instead of them providing words of encouragement or support, you are given the blank stare or the "that's just ridiculous" speech.


And then your heart sinks, and you move forward, living a status quo life because you don't trust yourself or your intuition.

My "I think I will" story...

In 2012, while living in Racine, WI, I stumbled across a Gong Workshop and a Gong Sound Bath by Richard Rudis.  When I told my colleagues that I planned on spending the weekend in Racine attending the Gong Workshop and Gong Sound Bath, what did they do...

They laughed and made fun of me.

I didn't let the opinions of others stop me from following my heart and intuition. I attended a workshop and sound bath, and during the workshop, I discovered that Richard Rudis, the teacher, was an ex-engineer. This surprised me, and I couldn't wait to return to the office on Monday and tell the engineers about it. Despite my colleague's laughter and teasing, I was inspired by Richard's workshop, and it was the start of my journey into leading Sound Baths and making Sound Essence music. When I signed up for the workshop, I didn't know where it would take me, and I didn't have a plan. I was curious and trusted my heart and intuition, taking one step at a time.


Are you curious to learn more about sound baths and potentially lead sound baths in the future?

Are you ready for the New Moon Solar Eclipse?
New moons are all about setting and/or re-aligning your intentions for the next 28 days...

How do I want to feel for the rest of 2024?
What intention do I want to set that aligns with this feeling?

With a New Moon Solar Eclipse, surprises are in store for all of us.  Are you getting a nudge to try something new?  Challenge yourself to shine in new ways and be open to major personal growth.

​And here's the exciting part-unexpected and thrilling opportunities might just pop up. So, keep your eyes wide open, ready to explore (after it’s safe to remove your eclipse glasses)!
