There’s something so powerful about a rainbow…
Spiritually, it has always been a bridge between worlds… a promise of light after the storm… a reminder that the divine always paints beauty across the sky, even when the clouds have been heavy.

To me, a rainbow is the universe whispering… remember, you are connected… you are loved… you are guided.

And how awesome that as I arrived for my class today, this vibrant arc of colors stretched across the sky. A perfect sign of alignment and blessing, right on time. 🌈

Sometimes the signs are subtle… sometimes they’re painted boldly across the heavens. Either way, spirit speaks. And I am listening.

Dr. Hew Len taught that it is the memories we carry that keep us from being free. He brought Ho’oponopono forward in a way the world could understand… and it is his teaching that I first learned and still follow today. This practice is simple on the surface yet endlessly powerful when spoken with true intention.

The four phrases are:

I love you
I’m sorry
Please forgive me
Thank you

I love you always comes first… because it unlocks the heart… it opens the dialogue between you and the universe. Love sets the frequency.

I’m sorry is spoken because we are sorry for feeling like this… for carrying this memory and holding it in our energy field.

Please forgive me is said because we ask forgiveness for hurting ourselves by continuing to hold this memory.

Thank you seals the cycle with gratitude… thanking the universe for taking it away and returning us to lightness.

This practice is not about religion. It is about responsibility. It is about choosing to clear the heaviness we carry within… the guilt, regret, anger, and pain… and releasing it back into light.

Why 108 times?
When used as a mantra and repeated 108 times it becomes so much more powerful… and here is why. 108 is not just a number. It is a sacred frequency of wholeness and completion, echoed across traditions and woven into the fabric of creation.

Every repetition builds upon the last… softening the breath… quieting the thoughts… relaxing the body. By the time you reach 108, the words are no longer just spoken… they are embodied. Each cycle becomes a wave of release, cleansing the nervous system and restoring harmony.

Simple words… yet in the right order, spoken with devotion, and repeated as a mantra… they become alchemy.

I will be away until October 9th because I am returning to the beach to complete my Crystal Healing Mastery. This is the final step in becoming a certified teacher of this profound work, and I am honored to be learning directly from Philip Permutt… the Crystal Healer himself.

When I return, I will not only be bringing mastery-level skills into my sessions, but I will also be stepping forward as a teacher of these healing arts. My crystal reiki practice is evolving under Philip’s direct guidance, and what I will be able to offer upon my return is unlike anything you will find anywhere else in this area. Many may place crystals around without true knowledge of how to work with them… but this is not that. This is deep, trained, intentional crystal reiki, a lineage of healing that has been carefully passed down to me.

I am also studying new meditation techniques with Philip, and I will soon be offering meditation instruction as well. This means more tools, more wisdom, and more pathways for you to heal, awaken, and grow.

My business is changing and expanding at an extraordinary pace, and every step is designed to bring something rare and powerful into the world. On October 9th, I will return renewed, ready to share these new skills with my clients, and prepared to teach sacred practices that you simply cannot experience anywhere else.

Until then, send me some ocean energy as I finish this next step of the journey… and prepare yourself. The crystals and I are coming back with so much to give. 🌊✨💎

Life will always bring you something to move through. Sometimes it looks like loss, sometimes it looks like betrayal, sometimes it looks like a door slamming shut right when you thought you were finally getting ahead. And the easy response is to get stuck in the “why me” story. To point the finger outward. To say it is because of them, or because of that situation, or because of circumstances you cannot control.

But here is the truth that changes everything. You must grow through what you go through. That means you stop asking “why me” and start asking “what is this here to teach me.” Every situation is a teacher in disguise. Some lessons are gentle. Some lessons feel like fire. But they all hold a seed of growth that belongs to you and you alone.

And here is the deeper layer. You are always the reason for you. Always. You are the reason for your thoughts. You are the reason for your behaviors. You are the reason for the way you respond to life. No one else is in charge of what goes on inside your mind. No one else can make you think a thought or hold a belief. That is yours. It has always been yours.

This is not about blame. It is about power. Because when you see that you are the source of your inner world, you realize you are not a victim of circumstance. You are a creator. You can choose how to meet what life gives you. You can choose whether to let it crush you or to let it shape you into something stronger and wiser.

So the next time life hands you something heavy, pause and remember. Growth is not happening to you. Growth is happening through you. You are not powerless. You are the one steering the ship. And when you own that, when you take responsibility for your thoughts and your behaviors, you step fully into your own freedom.

You are and will always be the reason for you. And that is the most powerful truth you will ever hold.

The world feels loud right now. Chaotic. Like everywhere you turn, there’s another headline, another argument, another reason to feel drained.

But, even in the middle of the mayhem, life still offers you gifts. They’re small, quiet sometimes, but they’re there. The laugh that slips out when you weren’t expecting it. The way sunlight sneaks through the blinds in the morning. A friend checking in just when you needed it.

Positivity isn’t pretending everything is fine. It’s remembering that goodness still exists, even when things are messy. It’s choosing, sometimes stubbornly, to look for what’s right instead of drowning in what’s wrong.

So today, take stock of the good stuff. Write it down if you have to. Savor it. Because those little moments are fuel. They don’t cancel the chaos, but they remind you that life is still worth showing up for.

Breathe in the madness. Exhale gratitude.
That’s how we make it through.

As I sit here thinking about what I’ll pack for the beach, my heart is overflowing with gratitude. Soon I’ll be heading there to finish up my crystal healing classes… stepping into the role of master, learning even more about these beautiful allies of the Earth and deepening my meditation practices.

This path still humbles me every day. To study, to grow, to connect with crystals and their wisdom, to walk this journey of healing not just for myself but for those I serve… it is a gift I don’t take lightly.

I’m so grateful to be able to do this work, to keep learning, and to carry these practices with me wherever I go. The ocean waves, the stones, the stillness… all of it feels like a reminder that I am exactly where I’m meant to be.

I walk gently and I live kindly… because that is who I choose to be.
And at the same time, I am not alone on this path. My guides walk with me, surround me, and protect me in ways most will never understand.
If someone thinks to bring harm my way, they soon find out what I already know… I am watched over, I am protected, I am beyond their reach.
There is no fight here, no challenge… only truth. I am held, always.

The World Is Exactly Where It Needs to Be

I see it clearly now.

Everything that’s happened, every collapse, every crack in the system, every moment that felt like too much, was necessary. The world didn’t fall apart by accident. It burned, because it had to. The illusion had to go. The structures that propped up the lie needed to fall. And they did.

This isn’t chaos. This is clarity.

All of it, the turmoil, the fear, the division, has shone a blinding light on the truth. Not just about the world, but about us. About who we really are. About who’s beside us and who never really was. We’ve seen masks come off, figuratively and literally. And in that, there’s been a quiet, powerful sorting.

This is the separation Dolores Cannon spoke of. A splitting of paths. A moment where souls show their cards. You can feel it. The ones who cling to the old world. The ones who rise toward something new. And the test, the real test, is not to lose yourself in the noise.

Don’t forget who you are.

Hold your center. Keep your heart open. Trust your knowing. The world is being remade, and we’re not here by mistake. We’re here to witness, to remember, and to choose.

It was never about going back. It was always about going through.

Why is it that we’re always pointing out what’s wrong… but rarely taking the time to show what’s right?

We tear it all down, leaders, systems, each other, but we don’t uplift the ones actually doing the work, fighting for people, standing in truth, building something better.

How do we expect the good to rise
if we never shine the light on it?

The best government won’t come from outrage alone.
It will come when we start supporting what’s working.
When we stop giving our energy to chaos
and start backing those who lead with clarity,
with compassion,with integrity.

We have to stop only reacting to the worst…
and start recognizing the best.

That’s how we rise.
That’s how they rise.
That’s how we build the future we keep saying we want.

I am endlessly grateful for every soul who chooses to sit with me in this sacred space. My calendar fills quickly because each session is guided not by the clock, but by Spirit.

I listen to my higher self and my guides, and I do not stop until they tell me the work is complete. Sometimes this means sessions run longer than expected… because true healing cannot be rushed.

Thank you for your patience, your trust, and your love. Every moment we spend together is a gift, and I am honored to walk this path beside you 💜
