This has been a long time coming. I know there were road signs along the way. I just didn’t pay close attention to them. Until I slammed into the mountain. Seriously. After my book signing (which blew me away by attendance and the comments that people made to me afterwards about how hearing my story changed their lives), I went full steam into 30 Days of Gratitude, a Facebook/YouTube project that I had envisioned, managed and co-created with a small group of friends. With both the book signing and this project, I felt as if a door was opening for me … I couldn’t see what was on the other side, but I could feel that I was being asked to show up differently. ...
Read MoreA couple of posts ago, I promised to share the second option that lured me out of my seclusion to come out and play. Drum roll, please! My second book, “Empowered Voices: True Stories by Awakened Women” is here! Though the book is already available for Shop & Purchase purchase via my Amazon store using the button to the right, if you wait until Saturday September 15, 2012, all proceeds from that day will benefit the Heal My Voice nonprofit, which brings this healing process to women who’ve gone through domestic abuse, prison or court-mandated rehab. Or if you prefer to wait, you can purchase a copy from me at my October 7th book signing & reading...
Read MoreIt dawned on me that maybe you don’t know about this opportunity. You’ve heard me talk or write for a while now about Essence and how discovering mine has fueled my life. I’ve had so much to say and I seem to find even more, as evidenced by this recent video post where I talk about what it was like to have my Essence seen. How Essence Energy Work Changed My Life I want to share an opportunity for you to discover your Essence. In my last blog post, I wrote about a world-wide collaborative coaching community that I have helped to establish. Last week, Essence Coaches launched their website and in celebration of that milestone, we are offering private phone...
Read MoreSummer! Sigh. There must be something in the air that stirs me up because that’s when I often take the leap to make a huge change. 6 years ago, applying for my business license to offer private yoga therapy sessions; 5 years ago, launching the first professional version of my website; 4 years ago, moving into office space; 3 years ago, shutting down my office space so that I could develop an on-line presence; 2 years ago, contributing a personal story to “Speaking Your Truth: Courageous Stories by Inspiring Women” and going public about being sexually assaulted; and 1 year ago, disengaging from my business so that I could rework and rewire my Overworked...
Read MoreSome of you may have noticed my recent posts in Facebook. Others of you may be wondering what’s going on with me. I’ve been going deep … deep into my healing and deep into my journey. Drum roll, please … and I just completed my chapter for the next Heal My Voice book project, titled “Empowered Voices”! YOU were my inspiration. YOU were at my back, pushing and cheering me as I navigated into uncharted waters. Let me rewind a bit so you can catch up. At the end of January, I posted The Physical Side to My Love Affair. It was a post that I wrote in November of last year and had been in the queue to post for a while. Honestly, I had lost track of when it...
Read MoreA few weeks ago, I announced at a womens’ circle meeting that I was toying with a radical, dangerous, dare I say, frivolous idea. “What if I chose to let go of everything that is busy, hard, draining or a struggle in my business and focused on what feels good?” Sitting in this circle of women entrepreneurs, engaged in an exploration of our limiting beliefs around money, I expected that my idea would be met with protests and denial. And yet, they all smiled at me as if they had been patiently waiting for me to wake up. All of this exploration of Essence and Genius, of what comes easily for me, my strengths and what qualities people value most about me … and...
