Feedback from Saturday's Full Moon:

• I feel like I was slapped by the universe.  It pointed out the relationships that are holding me back!

• I'm exhausted and worn down with juggling too many family responsibilities.  I don't have time for myself or my interests!

 

• I'm going to stop living in the past, I'm taking the wisdom of my suitcase stories and moving forward!

 

• I'm tired of other people defining my life, so I'm going to start co-creating my life with spirit!

 

• I'm stepping into my power as a healer.

This moon was all about making a choice...

You can either repeat or evolve!
What was your full moon message?
What are you choosing to do?  


Between the success of last Saturday's workshop, messages of the Full Moon, and my intuition, I decided to offer an additional Harmonizing Energies workshop in November.  If this is resonating with you, please sign up, you will not be disappointed!

Throughout this year, I found myself caught in a story.  Like an old broken record, I was mentally telling myself...

I don't want to be here; I'm just going to be disappointed!

Meaning...it seemed that everywhere I went, people and situations disappointed me.  I was tired of listening to friends and colleagues old "woe woe is me stories".  I was tired of people not taking ownership of their situations and instead playing the victim card.  Listening to all of these stories, including my own, was exhausting!

This past week as I was packing my suitcase for the last business trip of the year, I decided not to pack the "I don't want to be here; I'm going to be disappointed!" story.  After I arrived at the hotel/conference center in Connecticut, I met colleagues for pre-dinner cocktails.  Immediately, a colleague started in on an old suitcase story.   "Reminder what happened the last time we attended a similar conference? I was so applauded and disappointed by the behavior of Joe (not real name).  I admit that I temporarily participated in rehashing the old suitcase story for about 5 minutes and then I stopped the conversation and told my colleague...

I'm done with this old suitcase story. 
Yes, the story is true.  We can't change the actions and behavior of other people, but we can choose how we react to it. 

After that quick 5-minute pivot conversation, the following happened...

Authenticity and new possibilities showed up in our conversation.
​
We started to share positive stories of where we came from and who we are becoming (vs old worn-out victim suitcase stories).  I learned the following about my colleagues...

• I'm a Freemason.
• My newest hobby is learning how to shine shoes.  It's so meditative and rewarding to work with my hands.
• I went to Notre Dame via a Fencing scholarship.
• My parents are 1st generation immigrants and taught me the importance of working hard.
• I'm getting a PhD in History, and my thesis is on Wilson's political policies.

By unpacking the old suitcase stories of how we were each disappointed in life, we each made room to start sharing stories of our positive moments in life.

If you dropped an old story weighing you down, what would you replace it with?
Are you ready to open up to new possibilities?


Join me Tuesday night for a 1-hour Community Circle where we will Open The Door of Possibility.

Join me Saturday for an in-person workshop to discover your gifts as a healer - Harmonizing Energies.

​I thought I would share a tool from my upcoming workshop, "Harmonizing Energies".  This simple "boots on the ground" tool helps you to take a step back and evaluate where you are unbalanced in your life.

Place a dot in each slice at the degree to which you are fulfilled in the area:

• List 3 ways to make your circle less lopsided.
• List 10 small changes you’d like to make for yourself.
  • I would like to...

I would love to hear about your ideas to make your circle less lopsided and your list of 10 small changes you would like to make.

I started my Fall Cleaning this past weekend.  I selected the room that was feeling the most stuck, uninspired and to be honest, just plain irritating...

My Office Space

I started by cleaning the book library located within my office space (the closet I converted into a mini library).  I took each book off of the shelf, wiped it off, and asked myself the following question before I put it back on the shelf...

Is this a story I want to take into the New Year?

I now have a box of 17 books to take to Voices Of Stephenson County (a local organization that supports survivors of domestic and sexual violence).  I then cleaned every item in my office space and asked myself before putting the item back...

Is this the energy I want to take into the New Year?

As I rearranged and cleaned the room, I was surprised to find that only 3 small items were put in the donation pile. 

Now, my office space feels calm, serene, and balanced.
And I feel peaceful and at ease in my office space.
 At the end of the day, I sat back and had a big "AHA" moment.  I reflected on how my personal physical renovation/transformation process is the foundation for the holistic renovation and transformation process I teach and mentor people through. 

• Vision & Intention
• Deconstruction
• Reconstruction
• Balancing Energies
• Transformation
• Integration

Are you ready to shift your space and your life from uninspired to inspired?
Are you ready to discover an "AHA" insight about your next step?

Sign up for my upcoming 1-day onsite workshop: Harmonizing Energies.
