Month: August 2024

  • Magical August Harvest

    Magical August Harvest

    Would You Let This Month Be the Most Magical Harvest in Your Life?

    Did you know that August is known as the month of harvest? This is a time when nature’s abundance is in full swing, offering us the fruits of our labor and the blessings of our creative endeavors. As we step into this magnificent month, I invite you to consider: What are you harvesting in your life right now? Are you ready to step into your dreams and embrace the blessings that your creative genius is eager to bring into the world?

    For me, the most important choice I make every day is to tune into the magic within me—a magic that is always ready to leap into existence and transform my life with ease. This is what it means to live a magical life: allowing magic to show up and letting life be easy. It’s about following my intuition as a guiding light, listening to that deeper knowing that sometimes gets drowned out in the noise of daily life.

    But why focus on this in August? Why not make it a year-round practice? For me, this month serves as a powerful reminder—a new month, a new opportunity to create and choose again. Choosing is the beginning of creation, and when I align with the energy that builds worlds, I can create magic not just for myself, but for others as well. This isn’t about interfering with someone else’s creation, but about living in the generative energy of limitless possibility. It’s about living in the expansive energy of freedom and abundance, allowing God’s blessings to become the norm, rather than limiting myself with thoughts of scarcity.

    Choosing also brings awareness. It helps me recognize the ways I’ve been distracting myself from the magic that’s always available to me—an energy I can welcome into my life instead of dwelling on thoughts of illness and scarcity. The last few months have taught me that everything is within the realm of my choice. By aligning with a higher intention for what I want to create this month, I open the door to more abundance, more creativity, and a deeper sense of fulfillment.

    Since April last year, when I felt my energy was at an all-time low, I started asking my body how to heal. I discovered that the fear and discomfort I was experiencing were rooted in a simple nutritional deficiency. Had I listened to the cardiologist who told me that Atrial Fibrillation couldn’t be cured and accepted a lifetime of medication, I would have missed the truth—that with a change in diet and some supplements, I could heal naturally. By listening to my body, I’m now living my best life.

    Is choosing differently the easiest path? No, not at first. Going against established beliefs is challenging, but it’s often the only way to true freedom of choice. The prospect of taking multiple high blood pressure medications seemed absurd when I knew I could change my diet, exercise, and pray for a different outcome. This was my choice—to let my awareness guide me toward a life worth living.

    I won’t pretend that this is an easy choice to make. It requires taking charge of your life, making informed decisions, doing your own research, and following the advice that resonates with you. It means taking responsibility for your body, your health, and your life.

    I’m learning to live in the question: What else is possible for my life? What is right about this that I’m not seeing? What’s my next step toward living my best life? These open-ended questions are the keys to unlocking the door to the magical me—the whole me. This is my life worth living, my magical life. What about you?

    What gets you excited in the morning? What brings you joy? What is your best life?

    Would you be open to considering that there might be more money, better health, and endless adventures awaiting you at every stage of your life?

    This morning, as I made a cup of hot organic cacao, I realized how fortunate I am—how amazingly wealthy I am. Not because I have millions in the bank or live an extravagant life, but because I’m living my dream life. Did I ever imagine that I would be living in a peaceful environment with my special person, on the brink of a new career that I’ve dreamed about for years? I didn’t ask the universe for a huge house, an expensive car, or a large bank account. No, I prayed for an abundant life, for ease, and for guidance toward my best life—and today, I recognize that I’m living it.

    I am deeply appreciative of my sanctuary, my loving relationship with an amazing man who shares my values and passions—someone who loves walking, reading, eating whole foods, and attending church together. I’ve been able to heal my body in ways that make me comfortable being alive, generating the energy to do and be all that’s possible at this time in my life. And it all started with gratitude and prayer.

    My intention is to live in the generative energy of love and gratitude, to let that energy guide me, and to trust that this is the way to fulfill my dreams. It’s about following my joy and knowing that I’m moving in the right direction because of how I feel.  I am following the light and the energy of joy in my life. 

    So, how and what are you harvesting in your life? Are you asking the questions that will bring you joy? Remember, it’s your harvest—one of drama or one of magic and possibility. What are you choosing?

  • At the Green Edge of Becoming

    At the Green Edge of Becoming

    Standing on the green edge of becoming…is the point from which unlimited possibility is not only possible, but the only choice; this is the jumping point to where all creation exists and I can engineer and design my dreamed life. This is the point where changing the story begins; this is the beginning of my journey into my dreamed life.

    It reminds me of the time when I went up to the top of a mountain to jump down a zip line and as I was standing at the very edge of the cliff fully harnessed and ready to jump; I froze! The people around me were trying to convince me that I was safe because I was fully harnessed, but I couldn’t find the strength to take the leap of faith and jump. It didn’t seem safe to jump, I was terrified looking down the Clift and holding on for dear life. The safety guy kept saying that the only way down the mountain was on the zip line and that I wouldn’t be allowed to walk down, at some point I found the strength within me to trust the process and was finally able to close my eyes and jump, it was the fastest way down the mountain, it took us almost an hour to reach the top and what seemed like a minute to zip down, this was my first time ever jumping down on a Zip line. Standing on the green edge of becoming feels the same way to me, except now I am more empowered, more experienced, and I know I can trust that I won’t be hurt.

    Now once I jump, I know that God will catch me and remind me to use my wings and if I have to go up the mountain again and find a new harness and a new dream I will be able to do so without much effort, this time it is different!

    This time I feel empowered to step into the abyss and live my life by design and to follow my vision, the teacher, the writer and the financially successful woman that has an incredible story to share and one which can help empower other women to follow their dreams and to help them design their own story and follow their own dreams. This is not just now happening, this is my life by design and what I have been visioning and working towards all of my life.

    Writing the book, up to now, has seemed like a dream that was sketched on someone else’s canvas and now it is mine to paint, mine to create and edit just the way that was always meant to be.

    Coming to America was not my dream, but traveling was and trusting my parents when they offered me a trip to the United States to study for six months and learn English was the beginning of a wonderful life and the one I am living today and the green edge of becoming is now the reality of a life well lived and the most wonderful likely next step.

    As I write this I can now begin to visualize my new book and see myself book signing at a bookstore, but this time instead of me standing in line waiting for the author to sign their book for me, it is me who has a line of people waiting for my signature, this is now a reality as it is having my Oprah interview on Super Soul Sunday.

    I just realized that my middle name is Violet and I have been a shrinking violet most of my life, this is no more, from now on, I will do what needs to be done to realize my dreams and to see myself at the top of the mountain of my own life.

    Thank you God for guiding me to be more of me and for always opening doors to wanting more and for opening the door to this wonderful philosophy where I found refuge and where I could find a way to grow. It seems at times like going up the mountain is such a difficult thing, but never climbing is accepting mediocrity in my own life and I know that God didn’t send me here to just barely live; I know that God send me here to be fully alive and to reach for the stars and that is what I fully intend to do.

    I am ready to be the architect of my own destiny and it starts with the trust and the conviction that God is guiding my steps to becoming more of who I am and letting loose the soul/creator that is waiting to open the door to creative abundance for myself and others, this is the next step.

    Loving life and loving the essence of who I am!

    I am tired of living my life out of fear or from a fear based decision making frame of mind; as I now choose to be the architect of my own destiny I know is that it starts with the conviction that it is God guiding my steps to becoming more of who I am meant to become and letting loose the creator residing within.

    What if, when I release what no longer serves the evolution of my soul I open the door to a flood gate of abundance and the realization of my dreamed life? What if, everything that I have asked for is now presented on a silver platter and everything comes to me with ease and grace? What if what is holding everything back and my chaotic life is my own need to keep control? What if trusting God’s vision for my life is greater than what I could have ever envision for myself?

    Letting go has within the seed of redemption and a new beginning, but am I ready to do the work that is required for my growth? Am I ready to trust and let God?

    On the Edge of becoming…. I am!

  • Are You Open at the Top?

    Are You Open at the Top?

    What are you looking to create in your life?

    There have been times in my life when I have stood at the crossroads and looked back, and I began to question if my life has ever been a life of contribution, or have I been just pretending? I questioned my contributions and wondered if I’m living the results of what that might have been – or have I, in fact, been a “taker” most of my life. The gift of the question allows me the opportunity to decide to choose again. What do I want to create this time around? As I understand it, creation starts with choice, and I can always choose again. My potential becomes an outcome of my choice as long as I am able to stop all judgment and live in allowance of other people’s choices.

    As I ponder the outcomes of what exists, as opposed to what I thought they should have been; I take a look out the window and see the most beautiful flower in full bloom. In that moment I realized that the meaning in my life has been one of constant appreciation for the magnificence around me. I revel in the natural beauty that I get to appreciate all around me as I have matured. What I am all about and what gives meaning to my life now is so different from the many hectic years that I spent busily doing so I could make ends meet while I was raising my family… myself included. Is life really meant to be about living a life of struggle and diminishing my connection with the source of everything that I am? I have always gravitated towards meditation, prayer and maintaining this connection open so I can be the best me that I can possibly be. Despite this long practice I have come to understand that in order to receive I have to be open to it or it just doesn’t work. I have to choose to contribute as a source of love in my surroundings. This is the part where choice enters as our universal gift, we were given free choice

    I have been on a trajectory of self discovery for a long time and as I have grown into more of me. I recognized the areas in life that I wanted to improve for myself, and along the way I left behind friends with whom I was so comfortable with during times when I was contributing to a state of negativity and self deprecation. I participated in the energy and felt justified in complaining about something or someone in my life. Now it seems that the more silence I have in my life the more I am able to reconnect with the more expansive part of me. In that expansion I recognize that no matter what happens, it is always for the best. While I still go through my occasional bouts of self doubt, negativity and darkness, the periods in this space have become shorter and more productive. I am now more capable of being open to what is being reflected back, though at the moment I may not be able to change it. It seems to me that the results are always positive and I am left pointed in the direction of something greater than I ever recognized before. Even if it is just the recognition of the reality of this, my abundant life; regardless of whether I appear to be moving in the wrong direction, there seems to be a recognizable magical strand which always connects to my higher source and pulls me back to my path.

    Predominantly it is a feeling of immense gratitude for my life, and for my children, and for finding my way to a conscious relationship in which there is so much love and appreciation for each other. We are never convinced of the need to change the other person in order to feel happy, and because we understand that we are here to walk together in partnership, we happily walk side by side holding each other’s hand.

    As this is the month of gratitude, I ask again, what are you looking to create in your life? Are you living in gratitude for every moment that takes your breath away or are you just waiting to see what’s going to happen next? In looking back I have learned to be grateful for every moment and to appreciate what is unfolding before me, while learning to also love myself and being grateful that I’ve made it this far.
