"We do not become healers. 

We came as healers. We are. 

Some of us are still catching up to what we are.

We do not become storytellers. 

We came as carriers of the stories

we and our ancestors actually lived. We are. 

Some of us are still catching up to what we are.

We do not become artists. We came as artists. We are.

Some of us are still catching up to what we are.

We do not become

writers.dancers.musicians.helpers.peacemakers.

We came as such. We are.

Some of us are still catching up to what we are.

We do not learn to love in this sense. 

We came as Love. We are Love. 

Some of us are still catching up to who we truly are."

This took me by surprise!

I wasn't expecting this, but this week has hit

me hard.

You see, merely a week ago, we were enjoying

the last gasps of summer,

the days by the water,

the beautiful weather,

the casualness of the days and nights...

and then...

come Tuesday-

it was a complete gut check.

You see, I wasn't ready to see all the children ready for school;

my facebook friends and acquaintances

lining up with pictures and little signs

about the first day of school.

Although my kids are grown and I haven't been

in the "school daze" mode for years,

I'm usually more in sync with the seasons

and the ebb and flow of life.

This time, although I "knew" it was coming;

I wasn't prepared for the onrush of feelings as

I waited behing a schoolbus-

a mixture of emotions for sure.

Maybe nostalgia, mixed with a touch of sweetness, mixed with a longing for the "apple pie" images of the new school year.

But, as I really dug down;

I came to realized that these passages of time are more important than ever....we are truly emerging into new states of BEing

and I want to relish every nuance...

It's not just getting older (although I'm sure that plays a part)

it's more about really being present to

all of LIFE.

AND, it's made me want to start teaching more

IN PERSON classes again...

to connect with community is even more important!

In addition to the monthly meditation class,

I'm going to be having more live events.

Including:

✔Meditation for Men only

✔Awaken Your Intuition

✔How to manage Toxic Relationships

✔Master Your Energy

✔Conscious Aging

✔Return to Center

For now, I ask you to be more PRESENT

to your life, and sit with any emotions that come up for you.

We are all being called to

SHINE!

💖💖💖💖

Let's create your Joyful life together!

😎😎😎

This weeks Journal prompts:

"How can I be more present to life?"

"What am I grateful for?"

"How can I shine more light?"

✨✨✨

 Wishing you a magical week filled

with love, peace and joy!
