Hello November – Reflection

For me, I love November, it’s my birth month, and I’ve made it the month for inner self reflection.  But, I also feel that November is the month that invites us all to spend some time to reflect on ourselves.  For looking within and getting naked to uncovering the truth of who we are.

November asks us to remove the layers that are blocking our inner growth and allowing the beauty of who we are to shine through.

hello november

Look within yourself – What are you holding onto that is no longer serving you? What old hurt are you still carrying around with you? What stories are you telling yourself that are keeping you small, in pain, blocked? Where do you need to love yourself more? What are you not giving yourself?…

Get naked to your question, don’t embellish it with thoughts that will cover up your true feelings. It’s only if you can see yourself in the naked truth, that you can remove what doesn’t work for you, what is blocking you, what is keeping you from love . Open up that space to allow new energies to fill you – new energies that will support you on your journey, that will uplift you, inspire you, heal you, that will carry you in gentle ways into a higher place of inner wisdom.  Of course you can look within yourself anytime of the year, but doing it now in November helps to clear the way for the intentions you want to set for the new year, and for a new vision for yourself.

So give yourself the gift of inner self-reflection, and clear the way for opening up to the magical gifts the universe is holding out for you.

A Guidance Card for Today

It’s amazing how the universe will always bring you to the exact place where you need to be.

For the first time in a couple of months I’m feeling really light, I’ve been inside a very heavy energy, so much so that it affected my days in many ways, it even affected my writing which I haven’t been able to get into.

play card

I’m taking a class with Victoria Smith “Coffee with the Oracle” and today we were to pull five cards and do a reading.  The cards felt so heavy that I couldn’t really get into the reading and I left it for later.  Then I remembered that there was an interview video to listen to from last week, that I totally forgot about, so I decided to listen.  (Which by the way was great.)

After listening to the interview I felt like I needed to pull a card for today.  So following my inner guidance I used Lisa McLoughlin’s deck “Life Design Cards” I asked the question – what do I need today to guide me that is for my highest good and that of all –  and this is the card that fell out as I was shuffling. The instant I read the guidance on the card I felt a heaviness lift from me, it took me out of that heavy energy and brought me into play, rejoice, celebrate.

Yes, the universe always knows.

Let me know how this message makes you feel, love to chat.

Trust – My New Word for 2018

Trust in yourself is what is emerging for me. It popped into my head a while back and it hasn’t left, and I’m thinking it’s the perfect word for this next year.  Commitment, my word that has guided me, created magic for me, and been my friend throughout 2017, has really served me well, but at times although I mostly stayed committed to my writing intentions, listening to my intuitive voice was a challenge.

In looking back at this year, although I was committed to bringing magic into my life and lighting the way for others, I often questioned myself, and doubted myself. I would write a perfect blog post and than my inner doubter would overtake me and I’d question if this is good enough, who will want to read this, maybe it’s too long a post, too short a post, not inspiring enough, ridiculous, and so it was left.

But commitment my loving guide, kept me in the game and even though I didn’t publish some of my what I considered not good enough and/or inspiring enough writings, I still published almost on a weekly basis, and that was because of – commitment.

But now I feel that this new year coming will be or has to be about – self trust – Trust in the one thing I’ve been wanting so much and at times avoided, my own inner self, my own inner knowing, my own inner treasure chest full of amazing, magical, inspiring, loving offerings that I know can help to heal and help to inspire, encourage and ignite a spark in others.

I’m feeling that there’s a “new consciousness” that wants in, as Sue Monk Kidd writes in her book The Dance of the Dissident Daughter, and Trust in myself is emerging to support that new journey.  So I’m letting it in and I’m embracing it with all of my might. I’ll need a lot of courage to stand up to my own inner doubters, but backed with commitment and an unbreakable trust in my own inner knowing, I know that I can stand strong in my root and give out what wants to be expressed.

Wishing you a magical year ahead filled with lots of trust in yourself.

Feel free to share this blog post and share in the comments below your own journey into trusting yourself, love to chat.

Helpful Tip to Get Your Dream Going

Spend a few minutes in the morning before you start your day before emails, iPhone, Instagram, Facebook…it doesn’t have to be long, just a couple of minutes, just enough to remind yourself of your precious dream. If you have a vision board, look at it, envision the things on it.  Bringing your dream to the forefront of your mind will encourage you to take a step towards it, even a small step is a huge move towards the creation of your dream.

Maybe you need to develop it more, focus on it more…whatever you are in need of, bringing your dream out daily and looking at it, showering it with love,  will move it towards the creation of it.  What you’re doing by bringing it out daily is making it more attainable, more real, you’re affirming it’s existence, you’re saying YES to Universal Mind, YES – this is what I want.

I read these words on my friend Diana Frajman’s blog Crone Confidence and I immediately felt like they were mine – create, teach, motivate.  Yes, that’s exactly it.  That’s what my dream is.  I changed them a bit for them to be more me – I create – I share/teach – I inspire.  I wrote them down on a sticky note and posted it on my refrigerator so I can see them all the time every day.  They are a part of my dream and looking at them as I pass by them I’m reminded of my passion, of what I’m meant to do and dream of doing.  They hold a special magic within them that I can’t explain.

I create

I share/teach

I inspire

If you can identify your dream in this way, do it.  If you have a title for your dream, write it and place it where you will see it all the time, or just write – my precious dream.  We all get busy and forget about our magic and we need reminders.  I love sticky notes (especially pink) they’re great and you can stick them on your computer, on your bathroom mirror, in your car…  This is one sure way to keep your dream in front of you trust in the process and grow it.

When you start your day bringing forward your precious dream in the morning, you will carry it with you throughout the day.  In this way it will become more real, more a part of you and you will get your dream going.

Can you start right now to bring your dream forward?  Share in the comments below, love to know what’s your process for reminders towards your dream.

Are You Leading with Toxic Thoughts

Letting go of toxic thoughts will allow you to open to your magnificence.

Magnificent.png

Toxic thoughts hold you prisoner within themselves and close you to fresh ideas.  They keep you from opening up to new opportunities, envisioning a greater way for yourself and those you’re leading.

You can’t be a great leader while you’re filled with toxic thoughts, you know the ones – those thoughts that dictate all the negative actions that you take and all the bad feelings that you spread out.  Those that judge and criticize.  Those thoughts that are constantly saying that you can’t, someone else can’t, it’s not possible, it’s too hard…why can’t they…they are not good enough, you are not good enough…

When you’re a leader one of your greatest magic keys for success is to recognize the value in others.  But for as long as you’re walking around with toxic thoughts, you can’t see the good in others, you can’t recognize their skills and value.  You can’t lead with encouragement, you can’t inspire and uplift, not yourself not anyone.  You can’t evaluate situations, make decisions or institute change that is of benefit and fair.

Toxic thoughts emanate an aura of negativity that spreads out of you to all around you and out into the universe, so everyone you touch and beyond is affected by your toxic thoughts.  And most of all they hide your magnificence.

Lead from a place of positive energy.  Fill yourself with positive thoughts that will uplift and inspire not only you, but all around you.  Come from a place of how can you serve those you are leading.  Work on changing every toxic thought you have into a positive one and –

Let your MAGNIFICENT YOU shine out.

So, do you have toxic thoughts you need to get rid of?  Come and share in the comments below, love to chat.
