A friend messaged last week and asked me what the difference is between happiness and joy - today I felt the urge to share my response here. If this is for you, enjoy.

"Well, in definition they are basically the same....but to me, on a spiritual journey, they're very different. We often look to external factors to make us happy....but true joy is found within. Like, you can be in the middle of crisis and still be joyful, even if you're not happy. Real joy to me is gratitude and being very present...not dwelling on our past and stressing about our future. To me it's taking great pleasure in all that we have and are. I hope that makes sense."

Love to all, may you find your joy today. ❤️

2 things to share today. First, I still have an hour session available on 10/5 from 3-4, this is the only one available at the moment for October. Second, I'm considering holding our next Energy Gathering on Saturday 10/5 @ from 5:30 to 8:30. The cost would be $15 per person since I already have the room. If we get enough interest I'll create an event and get a talk topic ready....unless you have one you want to visit. Let me know! ❤️

Heavy on my mind and heart today....the only way to change our life is to change our behavior. So simple and sometimes so hard, but always accurate. ;) ❤️ Show up for you...whatever that means for you.

09/06/2024

I'll be here doing mini versions of my regular session work.

09/05/2024

I'll be here as a body worker (15 minute mini- sessions) and vendor (with a small batch of original paintings). See you there! ❤️

09/03/2024

Yes! For you and for those you love....please make a commitment to yourself to do this. It will be the best thing you ever do, I promise.

09/02/2024

Not easy, but totally doable. We can do it! I'll always share this when it comes in my path. Gentle and loving is NOT weak. ❤️ The only people that get angry at you for setting healthy (that's important) boundaries, are actually people that are angry with themselves for not being able to set boundaries in their own life.

Good Morning! I wish you all an amazing Labor Day. I just wanted to pop on and let you know I'm having sessions for two weekends in October (5th and 6th -already full except 3p on 10/5) and then Oct 12th and 13th! I'm adding an additional weekend due to the mini sessions I'll be doing at Spirit Fest (new clients), but wanted to give first opportunity to all of you that weren't able to get in on the 5th and 6th. Much love!

09/01/2024

I know I post about this each month, but there isn't anything in this world (except maybe the Angels Class) that fills my soul the way session weekends do. Holy cow! These days go soooooo fast.

08/31/2024

All sessions are full today (and for the weekend)! ❤️ The next dates are 10/05 and 10/06....I may be doing 2 weekends in October if the need is there, let me know if you want on the calendar. Much love to you all!

08/31/2024

Hello all! One of my clients is ill and canceled (bless them), so I have an IET and another hour session open from 9-10:30 and 10:30-11:30 tomorrow. If you want one, please text me as soon as possible @765-724-2102. Much love! ❤️

08/30/2024

All, I have an unexpected opening in sessions tomorrow from 5:30-6:30. This is a 1 hour session of either Access Bars, Guided Meditation, Energy Coaching or Body Consciousness. Session fee is $75....let me know if you're interested. ❤️

I talk a lot about setting boundaries and taking time to heal yourself...that you deserve it. You do, and I will die on that hill....BUT....please don't misunderstand, this DOES NOT mean at the expense of your children.

I don't care who you are or how stressed you are, get help if you need to, but you have no right to disregard your children in the process.

In theory they didn't ask to be here (there are some soul arguments to that though), and you made the choice to have them. With that choice means you also chose to be a parent, you chose guide and direct them, you chose to protect them, you chose to foster their spirit, you chose to make them capable and balanced adults....this was YOUR agreement and no one else's. They deserve the best and most whole part of you. Most of us have a tribe we can rely on to 'help', but we chose to be in the front seat for their best adventure.

If you need to find yourself, first choose to find the part of you that signed up to care for these souls and meet that obligation....there's no greater roll in the world. After you've fulfilled your roll, and hopefully to some degree during as that too is a lesson for them, you can get help to heal and find all the other beautiful pieces of you.

We've somehow lost sight of our roll and our children are suffering. We have to get our stuff together...we're setting them up for failure and that's a tragedy for them. There's no room for selfishness as a parent....it's the most selfless, thankless and beautifully rewarding job you'll ever have.

No child deserves to have their childhood stolen and their adulthood wrecked because we're emotionally immature and refuse to heal. This is not judgment, this is advocacy....our children deserve nothing less.

That's it, this has been on my heart all morning. If this is for you, do with it what you will. ❤️

NOTE: I can help you release old conditioning and energies if that's helpful, but that's not necessarily what this post is about.

08/20/2024

It's mid-August and still haven't had these digitized, so I'm going to let them go as well.

08/19/2024

**SOLD**This one was on my mind for days and I finally finished it last night. ❤️ 8x10, already has UV protectant, will be sleeved and matted (11x14 mat), $70. Watercolor and Gouache.

08/18/2024

Hello everyone! Because I sold out so quickly, I forgot to mention that they session dates for this month were 8/31 and 9/1. My next dates (because I'll be at Spirit Fest in September) will be in October. If you've been wanting to get in for a session and haven't been able to, let me know. I may hold two weekends in October. ❤️

When you sit in meditation, you won't believe the ideas that come to you to (perhaps) share. I don't know who this is for, but it won't leave me be until I post....

If we, in ANY kind of relationship, ride in on our white horse and try to fix the problems of others (thinking we know better and without being asked - ego), then we can't be mad when they look to us (instead of within) as their savior. This behavior creates a dependency, resentment, and takes away valuable lessons....it's also 100% our issue to work on, not theirs. ❤️

08/17/2024

As I start gearing my afternoon towards writing and painting, my heart is full with the idea of speaking my truth.

I've spent the majority of my life trying to please others (trauma response), trying to help others (can also be a trauma response if not done well - holy cow that takes some soul searching), and caring what others think about my decisions for me (absolutely a trauma response).

Lessons and healing have been coming hard and fast lately and I've been doing my best to hold space and be as aware as possible to absorb them all and move forward as gracefully and gratefully as possible.

One beautiful thing I'm learning and embracing more each day is to speak my own truth, even when it makes the pleaser in me uncomfortable.

I'm understanding more and more that I'll never be able to do what my heart longs to do when I sit in the shadow (opinions) of others or the conditioning given to me by those who were broken and still on their own journey of healing.

I'm also really understanding, though I've known and heard it for years, how much the opinions others have of me is none of my business. Their opinions are based on their perception of me (and themselves) through eyes that can only see through their past pain and conditioning and honestly, unless I know it to be true, has nothing to do with me.

I've said before, and will always say when I can, everyone is allowed to be who they are...we just get to decide where they fit in our space and then love them there. We're all healing, we're all growing, we're all moving at our own pace, and we all deserve the grace to heal in our own way.

Getting to this point takes so much heart work (asking ourselves who we want to be), self-reflection, humility, accountability, and ownership to fix what we know we've broken for others, then work to heal what needs to be healed within ourselves.

Never underestimate the power you have when you sit in your pain (only to the point of awareness and understanding - not wallowing or self-pity), decide what you really want and who you want to be in this life, have honest conversations with yourself, let go of what's no longer serving you, seek help to heal, then embrace your hearts (souls) desire...it's here we can all find true meaning and purpose. ❤️

One thing I know now, that I've struggled with my whole life, I'm ABSOLUTELY WORTHY of all the good things this life has to offer. That's powerful.

08/08/2024

I posted this on the Angels Class Event (in the Discussion area), but I also thought it would be worth sharing here. ;)

You don't have to answer here, unless you want to, but if you could look deep within yourself and start to heal one beautiful part of you, what would it be? What's one thing from your past you'd like to work through and grow from? It's possible...this is what we work on during Session days with IET, BARs, Guided Meditation, Energy Coaching and Body Con...and whatever else I'm led to do to help.

08/01/2024

What a beautiful, wonderful, humbling weekend. 3 full days of sessions ending in an amazing energy gathering. We eneded up with about 10 folks and it was absolutely perfect. Conversation and questions flowed freely and I know I learned so very much. We ended up with trained 3 practitioners (in different areas), including myself, so all questions were able to be answered to the best of our ability, since everyone in the room is always still growing. Oh what an amazing life I get to live (far from perfect, but amazing nonetheless). From the bottom of my heart, many thanks and all the love. ❤️ I'm back to my full-time gig today...but I return as a changed human. ;)

Hello friends! My July 27th and 28th sessions filled before I could post them (what a blessing!), so I took July 29th as vacation so I could hold one more day. I'm already booked from 3:30-6:30, but can work others in around that. Please PM if you'd like a session. These will be my last openings until the end of August. ❤️
