The Great Pause

I’ve been wondering how this time in our lives will be remembered. There is so much uncertainty, pain, fear and loss that it could completely devour our hopes, our jobs, family and life as we know it. The media has created an unprecedented amount of fear which keeps us paralyzed and confused. We have been separated by race, political party and social isolation. All of these things weigh heavy on my heart and have caused many of us to feel a huge lack of control in our world.

As with the dark there is always the light and our current situation proves to be no different. Through my coaching clients and friends I have heard stories of tragedy but also of huge awakenings. The Great Pause has given us that much needed time to be still and quiet, even if only for brief moments, so that we can hear our inner voices begging us to slow down, change course and wake up! We’ve been asleep at the wheel of life for far too long. The universe, spirit, God, is calling, and it’s time to answer the call.

What can we do to hear the subtle voices of our hearts and inner guidance systems? How can we sit in stillness and be quiet? I believe that when we pray we are speaking to the universe, spirit, God, but when we meditate that is when the universe, spirit, God speaks to us. Take some time to find a quiet spot, even if its only 10 or 15 minutes to just sit and quiet your mind. Notice the thoughts, release them, breathe, connect with your body and the earth. Listen. Breathe. You WILL hear your souls calling. It’s a practice just like going to the gym. You don’t go the first day, pick up a weight and expect to see a new bicep appear do you? Practice.

Ask yourself what positive aspects can I take away from this time? How do I want my life to look going forward? How do I want to show up in the world? What gifts can I bring to my family, neighborhood, city, country and the world? What do I want my legacy to be? Who do I love? Who loves me? What’s REALLY important to me? What do I need to change or let go of? Where do I need to step up and grow? These are the things we DO have control over. These positive changes are how we can create a positive ripple effect in our own lives and in the world. It all starts with each one of us! What story will you be telling about your experience during The Great Pause?

I’m here to create a safe and powerful space to answer these questions and help you to create a new story. I’m offering a free 60 minute discovery call to help get you started. You just have to take the first step…

Stay well, stay safe and stay positive my friends!

What if...

Ahh February...the holidays are done and stored away till next year, 2020 goals are pushed aside for future consideration and we’re back to our usual routine.  I don’t know about you but I have found myself a bit lost this February. Not feeling incredibly creative or inspired and honestly a bit upset with myself for feeling this way.  Afterall, I am a Life Coach and I help people create their dream lives so shouldn’t I be inspired and motivated all the time?!

Have you ever felt this way?  I’ve come to realize that we ALL feel this way from time to time and sometimes we even allow ourselves to sit with it for awhile. Don’t get me wrong here, I’m not saying unpack and move in to this place but rest your weary mind for a moment, check in to see what you’re really feeling and what you really need. Nourish yourself with some quiet time, meditation, nature and exercise...let the answers come in those quiet moments.  Ask yourself the bigger questions. Where do I find true joy? What impact do I want to have in the world? What will I regret at the end of my life if I don’t do it? What am I grateful for? One thing I know for sure is that if you ask the right questions the answers will always reveal themselves.

 I guess my point is maybe it’s not always about the big goals in life but about the things that make our hearts sing and leave a lasting impression on the ones we love and our mother earth.  What if we just play this life full out, hearts wide open, wild hair in the wind, laughing and dancing to our own crazy beat while we chase those dreams we’ve had tucked away for far too long?  What if...

 If you’ve found yourself feeling a bit lost, uninspired or just plain ready for a change I have a couple spots open for 1:1 coaching where we can explore the bigger questions, the possibilities and the action needed to get you on your way to living a kickass life!

Making Magic in 2020

Happy New Year! 🎉 I'm so excited about stepping into 2020 and the opportunities this next decade brings. Last year brought some big changes into my life. I stepped way out of my comfort zone (a few times) and achieved some dreams along the way (not without a few bumps & bruises). I became a certified Life Coach and NLP Practitioner, which feels like I'm finally 'home', created a life changing retreat in Bali with 14 AMAZING women 💃💃🏾, hosted my 5th BaliGirl Threads Charity Fashion Show, spent quality time with family and friends, I was able to travel to Vietnam, California, Mexico & 4 new islands in Indonesia, got my PADI diving certification, did some deep inner work and have continued to create this extraordinary adventure called life. Everything is not perfect, but it is authentic, full of purpose and magic...I'll take that...along with the bumps and bruises that come with a life well lived! 

 My intention for this year is to bring more love, awareness, empowerment and connection into the world. Together we can create a ripple effect!

Wishing you all an extraordinary year ahead! Let's make some magic together in 2020! xo
