I had a dream…. do you?

I am delighted to say I am writing you from Ireland- returning here is a dream that has come true for me! I am spending a year living between Dublin, Ireland and London, England. This was a dream that I held very close to my heart for many years. My journey here has taught me many lessons including; that jumping off the cliff without water, as I moved towards my dream, can be very risky, yet if I do not make a jump- I stay still. I also learned that when I have clear intention and dedication to this intention- anything is possible. I believe we all need to have updated visions or dreams as this is what motivates and guides me to create the new. Do you have a dream? What now needs to happen for you to be living it?

I would like to know. I ask because this is the question I asked myself when I realized I had reached many of my dreams and stopped dreaming. Often lethargy, a lack of peace and excitement for life are symptoms that show up when we stop dreaming.  The world is in a state of transformation. Old systems are falling away-violence and disharmony abound. This is more the reason for us to hold a vision or a dream and move towards making it real. Light and dark are forces that have always been on earth- for eternity. It is now time – more than ever to move towards your dream!
I am here to support you – take a look at how I can help.

How to Ignite Your Dream (or find one if you don’t have one to ignite)?

After taking time off to regroup this past year I personally needed to check in with myself so I could kick start my life and evaluate what would be next for me. I would like to invite you to consider some of the questions I pondered when reflecting on what was next in my life:

• Is there a place you lack courage when you think about living your dreams?
• What stops you from moving forward?
• Are you getting niggling ideas or thoughts that you are putting to the side- not paying attention to?
• What risks do you need to take now to grow and to move towards your dreams?
• How can you now manifest the things you visualize and dream?
• Day by day what are the first steps you need to take?
• Dreams are a way to call us forward to live more consciously.

Are you getting any of these signs? If So, Listen Up!

A niggling feeling that something is not right…that we are not fulfilled

 Experiencing a reoccurring sense that there is more to life than the way I am now living.

 Or are you receiving information telling you to move on or make a change now!

 Always listen to these cues because they provide invaluable information and opportunities to move you towards your greatest dreams. Do not be afraid. The rewards of living in alignment with why you are here can be unbeatable and can lead to a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment beyond description!

What are your personal feminine gifts? And are you now ready to step into your power?

There has been much conversation concerning how women and men speak different languages and look at things differently.  When researching my book, “Awakening The Essential Feminine: Claiming Your Influential Power” I learned that there really is a feminine perspective informed by specific attributes, gifts and talents.  Our brain biology; socialization and whole perspective is different.  Our sisters the suffragettes created an opening where our voices could be heard.  Our later sisters fought for the Equal Rights Amendment which moved us towards an equal footing in business and finance.  Today we face the next movement.  This is the movement to claim and fully live our Essential Feminine.

Often women’s confidence is shaken because we don’t fully understand or claim these natural gifts.  For many women they have been convinced that these gifts are inferior aspects of being.  For us to gain confidence in this world, we first need to “know thyself”.  Once we know ourselves, we then need to believe in ourselves and allow ourselves the opportunity to fully express the amazing beings that we are.  If your confidence has ever been shattered, stand back and rebuild it.  Bring yourself to the company of other women who can serve as models or guides.  If you have strong confidence, look at a sister who does not and guide her.  Point out what is amazing in her.  If she is young, support her to understand the unique and special meaning of her life.  Confidence prevails when we are deeply aware of our meaning.

Sometimes we just need support and clarity to see our own power and strength. You are unique and greatly needed in this world. Be sure to learn your strengths and to fully show up.

You Are The One You Have Been Waiting For

These times are great times if we stay wide awake and ride the wild horse- called -life with a sense of adventure. You have so much– so many gifts, talents and you carry great power. Opportunities abound and life can now be easier than ever if you tap into and live from who – you really are.

Take a moment to reflect on wherein your life that there are more openings and opportunities for you.  I suggest that if you are interested in creating a life of greater ease and meaning that you answer this question.

·         How well do you know yourself? (Are there external voices and influences confusing you?)

·         What do you now need to create, allow or invite into your life?

·         Are you committed to taking your life to the next level?

·         If so, what does that look like?

·         If not, what’s stopping you?

·         Commit to one small step to move you forward on your path

If you need support- clarifying or creating this new way of being and living…

join me for a refreshing Life Force Activation Session this summer!

To Grow Is To Change

“Deep within every life, no matter how dull or ineffectual it may seem from the outside, there is something eternal happening.  This is the secret way that change and possibility conspire with growth.  John Henry Newman summed this up beautifully when he said, “To grow is to change and to be perfect is to have changed often.” Change, therefore, need not be threatening; it can in fact bring our lives to perfection.  Perfection is not cold completion.  Neither is it avoidance of risk and danger in order to keep the soul pure or the conscience unclouded.  When you are faithful to the risk and ambivalence of growth, you are engaging your life.”

                                                                        John O’Donohue, Anam Cara

Take a look at your life and notice where you could grow or change at this time.  Where can you begin to see areas of stagnation or stuckness as opportunities for growth and the expression of your full potential.  It is important not to avoid risk but to be faithful to ambivalence and growth.  For it is in these areas of our lives that we become fully expressed and alive.

Explore Your Own Higher Altitudes- Meditate – Go Within!

“Explore your own higher altitudes…Nay be a Columbus to whole new continents and worlds within you, opening new channels not of trade but of thought.  Every man (woman) is the lord of a realm beside which the earthly empire of the Czar is but a petty state, a hummock left by the ice.”

Henry D. Thoreau “On Man & Nature”

Much of our life is lived in the invisible. We have the option of a conscious spiritual inner life and we can make important life decisions informed from within. And if we chose, we can commit to a deeper – richer inner world. Sit quietly- learn to still your mind. Notice what thoughts and feelings come in. Allow yourself to hear and feel yourself. It is in the higher altitude that you will truly know yourself and your needs and from this knowledge live a rich life of meaning.

Happy flying!

Create Peace from Within

If we finally put an end to the prejudices and persecutions that have caused so much bloodshed and suffering, we have to leave behind cultural traditions that justify violence and abuse in the foundational relations between parents and children and between women and men.  The acceptance of these violations provides a model for accepting human rights abuses across the board.

Riane Eisler “The Power of Partnership”

There is no reason for us to hurt another in any regard.  The unrest of the world is a reflection of our own unrest.  Take a look at your life and notice where you could be at peace.  Take one small step today to increase your own inner peace.  Have faith that this action will add to universal peace.

Through Your Own Inner Lens

“If you try to view yourself through the lenses that others offer you, all you will see are distortions; your own light and beauty will become blurred, awkward, and ugly.  Your sense of inner beauty has to remain a very private thing.”

John O’Donohue “Anam Cara”

 We all hold a unique and distinct inner beauty that others do not always understand.  Be sure to view yourself through your own lens as you receive signs and messages and important information from your inner life.  Never be too proud to reject feedback but do so selectively.

Our Ancestors: Are They Still Around and Supporting Us?

“When we know about our ancestors, when we sense them as living and as supporting us, then we feel connected to the genetic life-stream, and we draw strength and nourishment from this.”

Philip Carr-Gomm “The Druid Tradition”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Theoretically, we each have two parents, four grandparents, eight great-grandparents, and so on, back in time.  In practice, though, if each person alive continued that exponential progression for, say, thirty generations, we would come up with more people than were on earth at that time.  Genealogists tell us that if we each went back about seventeen generations, we would find many family relationships between ourselves and people of our acquaintance.  It follows, then, that we are all intimately related to each other, that our personal ancestors are shared with many thousands of people alive today.

I love our Celtic way of thinking as it naturally encourages the Laws of Interconnectedness.  The word interconnectedness has become almost a cliché these days as we look at the news and see how the markets are.  The same is true of the web of life.  I believe that our ancestors hold nuggets of wisdom that are important for us to understand at this time.  What do you know about your ancestry?  Does a family member have a particularly important message for you?  Begin to listen.  The web of life is precious and we are all interconnected. Is there an ancestor that comes to mind that may have specific guidance or support for you…today?

The Voice of the Soul

Who is the Singer that sends his voice through the dark forest, and inhabits us with ageless and immortal music, and sets the long echoes rolling for evermore?  -Mary Webb, Gone to Earth

We all hold a powerful and unique voice within the depths of our being.  The voice may not speak to us with words, but lets us know that it is there, through a strong sense of knowing that we each know and hold within ourselves.  Many call this the voice of our soul.  In order to hear this inner voice we need to tune out the loudness and distractions of the world, both cannot be heard at the same time.

The Voice of the Soul informs the voice that we speak in our day-to-day lives.  Have you ever had a feeling that something wasn’t quite right?  You knew the answer was clear within yourself?  This is an example of how our inner voice informs us.

 

Take a look at your life and notice, in the past, times that you have a certain sense of knowing.  Respect and honor that knowing with a renewed sense of commitment.  This inner voice holds a great deal of information for us to benefit from. What is your inner voice of knowing trying to inform you of today. Listen.
