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?

Soon 2022 will end and 2023 will begin. Now is a great time to....
My big wish for you: Throw caution to the wind and follow your heart in 2023! Start 2023 with your first adventure by attending one (or both) of these events... Goodbye 2022, Hello 2023 - Free On-Line Zom Event (details below) Goodbye 2022, Hello 2023 - In-person Community Event (details below) MAGICAL THINGS TO CHECK OUTThis year I decided I needed a holiday reboot so that I could reconnect to the magic of the holiday season. So, what happened?
Wishing you and your family a holiday season filled with magical surprises. WEEKLY MINI-SOUND BATHMAGICAL THINGS TO CHECK OUTIt's been 3 years since I opened the doors of the Kent Emporium for a community event. I finally fell like it's time to start a new seasonal tradition. So, if you are in the area, please mark your calendar and save the date: Kent Emporium Saturday January 7th 1pm - 4pm Details to follow. But for starters, there will be Tom and Jerry's, Wassail, fire ceremony (weather permitting), and an arrangement of homemade chocolates!!! WEEKLY MINI-SOUND BATHThis past Saturday I started to pull out my Christmas decorations. I got as far as 2 decorations and stopped:
Why just 2 decorations? Both of these decorations made me giggle and my heart happy. I felt my Christmas decoration work was done for the day. And then I took a step back and asked myself 3 questions: What does this decoration symbolize to me? Does this decoration reflect who I am now or who I want to be in the future? Does this decoration open me up to possibilities? The sparkly Christmas tree reminds me to take one day at a time and to stay focused on the magic of the holiday season vs. getting caught up in the drama. The sparkly snow globe reminds me that I bring sparkly calmness in the midst of chaos, even during the holiday season. Send me an email or comment on Facebook... Which holiday decoration is your favorite and why? Get ready to dance and SPARKLE to Shake Your Groove ThingWishing you a day filled with love, abundance, and gratitude.Friends have been reaching out to me and asking... Are you having Thanksgiving? Are you having an event of Black Friday? Are you having Freindsgiving? And my answer..... I'm on a Holiday Reboot! The past few years have made me realize that I need to take a step back and reconnect to what the holidays mean to me. The holiday gatherings for the past two seasons (or lack of due to COVID) made me realize that my values have changed and as a result I need to reflect on how I want to celebrate the holidays going forward vs. reverting back to "pre-covid holidays traditions". It's time for me to reconnect to the magic of the holiday season. And how do I reconnect to the magic of the holiday season? I'm starting with how I want to feel during the holiday season. I don't know about you, but I'm tired of the old holiday stories filled with stress, anxiety, and general circus and monkey chaos. So, I started to watch holiday movies and stumbled across the 1949 movie Come to the Stable. It tells the true story of 2 French nuns who arrive at a small town with the dream of building a children's hospital. This story is not a Christmas move but it embodies the spirit of the holiday season that I want to embrace... Faith, Love, Peace, Joy, Community As I move forward with this holiday season, every holiday tradition (from decorating, to putting up lights, to buying gifts, and attending social events) will be met with the questions "Why am I doing this?" Am I doing this because it fills me with faith, love, peace, joy, or community? Or am I doing it because it is expected of me? If you are looking to connect to peace this week, please listen to my mini sound bath below. I selected this random word before I watched the movie. How magical is that?

Due to technical difficulties uploading the beautiful music of the Christmas Cactus, I decided to share my Shamanic Reiki Story.
SHAMANIC REIKI CARD OF THE WEEK
I created a Shamanic Reiki card deck as both a training tool and a guidance tool for those interested incorporating Shamanic Reiki into their lives and businesses. Hold a question in your mind and work with the card to answer the question.
Water is comforting. It gives a feeling of stability. It is accepting of others, or events, of self. Water also has to do with elimination, purification, and cleansing. It is associated with feelings of peace and comfort ad gentle joy.
When out of balance - you look outside of yourself for joy and contentment. You think joy is found in having and doing, rather than in being.
When in balance, there is comfort in yourself and in your life. You are fluid, moving easily around and through the events and relationship of life. Balanced water is accepting of situations.
What does the Water element evoke for you and how do you see and experience it play out within and all around you?

This week started with me feeling mentally scattered and unfocused. With all of the external circumstances (elections, violence, war, etc.) going on in the world, I found my mental thought process jumping around as I asked myself the following questions?
$1 Billion+ Powerball
Yup, you heard me. The Powerball number jumped out at me and suddenly I found my thought process to become crystal clear. It was time to...
Dream Big!
There is a lot of opportunity to dream with the potential of $1 Billion+ Dollars! First thing I did was race out of the house on Monday and purchase a Powerball ticket and then the dreaming began. I made my initial list: Where would I live? I still would live in Kent where I am even though the construction across the street has been annoying. There is a certain energy to Kent - a mix of Northern Exposure and Yellowstone that inspires me to stay there. My Monday list:
When I awoke on Tuesday the first thing that popped into my head was - "If I won - would I select the annuity or the cash option?" This odd question led me to focus on establishing a strong foundation for my new future:
On Wednesday, I expanded my list to local organizations that I would donate to:
On Thursday, I decided to expand my business portfolio and purchase the cheese plant across the street and convert it into artisan cheese manufacturing facility that infuses healing plant music into their products (very cutting edge).
By Friday, I decided to take a step back and I realized that..
My heart knows what is best for me!
The external circumstances of the doom and gloom world swirling around me was just a distraction tactic to drain my energy and focus away from what really matters and instead focus on fear. By focusing on my big dream, I broke the global "fear" spell and took back my power to dream big and go beyond the current chaos. The big lesson I learned from this past week...
Don't get caught up in the chaos.
If you are looking for some perspective, this chaos is similar to remodeling a kitchen. You have to destroy the old kitchen before you lay the foundation for the new kitchen (trust me I've been there!!!). If you get caught up in the chaos (fear, anger, I'm right/you're wrong), you are energizing what you don't want. Now is the time to put your focus and your energy on the kind of future you want to create...
It's time to dream in a more beautiful world!
- Is it true is it not?
- What are the facts?
- What is the real story?

There is a certain energy to Kent - a mix of Northern Exposure and Yellowstone that inspires me to stay there. My Monday list:
- Speed up the conversion of the Kent House,
- Finish the projects at the Kent Emporium,
- Build a small house on my 20 acres near Loran, Illinois (15 minutes down the road),
- Travel to every little town in Vermont (251 Club),
- Buy a truck (as the small house would be on a gravel road - wait - I could have the road paved...hmmmm),
- Continue with building my practice in Kent - sounds baths, shamanic reiki workshop offerings, plus other programs to support the community.
When I awoke on Tuesday the first thing that popped into my head was - "If I won - would I select the annuity or the cash option?" This odd question led me to focus on establishing a strong foundation for my new future:
- Number of days I have before notifying the Lottery Board (check),
- Financial Advisor (check),
- Lawyer (check),
- Short-term plan (check),
- Annuity or Cash Payout (still undecided)
On Wednesday, I expanded my list to local organizations that I would donate to:
- Freeport Art Museum
- Timberlake Playhouse
- Rosecrance Freeport (Mental Health)
On Thursday, I decided to expand my business portfolio and purchase the cheese plant across the street and convert it into artisan cheese manufacturing facility that infuses healing plant music into their products (very cutting edge).

MAGICAL THINGS TO CHECK OUT
The world is feeling rather dark and gloomy these days. Between the political ads, doom and gloom news, countless attacks on innocent people, and our personal freedoms and democracy potentially at risk,
I'm feeling like the joy and spontaneity are being drained from me!
And then the spiral of self-doubt kicks in. Thoughts run through my mind like a run-away train. Thoughts of...What am I doing? Why am I even doing this? No one will want this! No one will understand! I start feeling like I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place and see no way out. My life feels stagnate.
I'm torn between living an ordinary life and an extraordinary life.
With all of the feelings of anxiety and overwhelm running through my brain, I decide to sit down and start flipping through TV and Movie options - as a simple technique to look for some inspiration.
And then it popped onto the screen...Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
I had watched the movie several years ago and always loved the magical suitcase that contained a magical world. Once I saw that magical suitcase, I wanted one. Funny thing, I already had one, I just never realized it at the time. It took me about 1 year of working with my abilities and gifts via Shamanic Reiki to bring the magic suitcase to life.
Reconnecting to my own inner magic shifted
my boring stagnate days into a joyfully spontaneous days.
Are you ready to discover a little of your own inner magic?
Watch/listen to my video below where I talk about my magic suitcase and then take you on a shamanic journey to discover a piece of your own inner magic that is ready to be explored.
If you like the video and are ready to work with your own abilities and gifts via Shamanic Reiki, I have a few places left. The workshop starts November 5th. Details below.
