Today is Guru Purnima.
It’s a day to celebrate and acknowledge your teachers.

🙏💚🙏

Thank you to ALL my teachers.
The ones I asked for and the ones I didn’t.
The ones in school and the ones on the mat.
The ones in nature and the ones in my home.
The ones I listened to and the ones I ignored.
The ones who have passed and the ones in my heart💚🪷💚

To honor you I will keep practicing, learning, opening 🙏

NO ONE’S EVER SAID IT BETTER THAN SOCRATES

Change isn’t about fighting, fixing, healing, solving, clearing the old, the past
It’s focusing on what you want to build and more importantly who you want to be in the now.

You get to decide who that is and what’s the best way to move forward.
✨AND ONLY YOU KNOW✨
That’s the good news and the bad news😂

There are times when we scream and shout to the ethers, pray to God, or ask the professionals we employ: “Tell me what to do, I just need someone to tell me what to do”.
✨But you know what to do✨
You may not have the clarity about that you would wish in this moment.
You may have temporarily misplaced your confidence.
You may have forgotten your brilliance, your power, your abilities for a time.

That’s where I come in.
Not to tell you what to do.
But to guide you to the remembrance that you are capable, powerful, awesome
in your abilities
in your knowing
in your building of the new in order to direct the life you want

Work with me for a month. Once a week. 4 sessions
💚so we can supercharge your belief in your ability to steer your own ship
💚so you can reclaim the kind of trust in yourself that leads you forward on a path to your deepest desires
💚so you can embody the identity of the person who is fully expressed and the version of you, you are excited to be

This is my greatest wish for you whether you jump in now, later, or never.

For more information message me and we’ll set up a quick chat to answer any questions.

From my heart to yours 💚🪷💚

WHO SAID IT???⬇️⬇️⬇️

“How wonderful is it that no one has to wait, but we can start right now to change the world” 🌸🌻🪻

You got it!

Anne Frank
So much wisdom and resilience and love

You don’t have to wait to make a difference in your life and in the world. You can start right now.
Often we think we will be happy when…
Which puts our happiness off into the future far away from where we are now. We feel powerless in the pursuit and everything is relegated to “one day”
But it doesn’t have to be this way.

You can start with asking yourself…
How can I best support my future self?
I first learned this question from Elliot Connie, who teaches Solution Focused Brief Therapy💚

When I’m really exhausted in the evening the one thing that can motivate me to action is asking myself:
What will my tomorrow self thank me for in the morning?

And then I’m able to…
💧Fill my water bottle
🥗Prepare my lunch
👗Choose an outfit

My morning goes so much smoother, I am able to prep for my day without stress and this makes a huge difference in setting the tone for the day which affects me, yes, but also has a ripple effect on everyone around me.

If you took this question and applied it to your life, what would you be working on that your future self would thank you for?
✨Would it be morning prep?
✨Would it be writing a chapter of that book?
✨Would it be reaching out to friends and family?
✨Would it be going to that yoga class?
✨Would it be skipping the sugar your mind is convincing yourself you need?
✨Would it be challenging the negative thoughts that keep you down?

What would your future self turn back and be grateful for that you could contribute to its success?

From my heart to yours 💚🪷💚

YOU ARE DESERVING OF IT ALL
👶The baby
👩‍❤️‍👨The relationship
🏡The home
✨The passion and purpose

But there’s something holding you back.

It’s not that dating in your town is “the worst”
It’s not the economy
It’s not your age
Or any number of other patsys we could blame.

It’s just that your vision is a little small, and a few too many degrees in the opposite direction from what you want.

💚WHAT’S YOUR VISION?💚
👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

Ever been driving and looking at the houses or something on the side of the road and then notice you are veering off to that side?

That’s because where you are looking is where you are going to go!

So what are you looking at?
What is your true deep heart’s desire?

Are you looking at what you want or are you looking at its absence?
Are you envisioning what you want to create or are you focusing on why you can’t have that, how far you are from that, who else has it, how long it’s been this way…

In 💚Heart Talk💚 you get to connect with your deepest desires in a way that ALLOWS them!
You get to ALIGN with what you want and have relief from the resistance and tension with life for not providing it.
You get to RECONNECT to your inner power that will lead to
✨different thoughts
✨different inspirations
✨different actions
that will take you down an enjoyable and surprising path to where you want to go.

Today is the last day to purchase a session at a discount: 99 USD💚
Message me if your heart is asking for this.

💚MESSAGES FROM Ms MERYLs DESK💚

If that’s true,
that everything you want you already are,
then why don’t we all have what we want?

✋My belief?

It’s because we are looking in the wrong direction. Our focus is most likely on what’s “wrong”, what we don’t have, the “problem”.

You can’t connect to, align with what you want from that space, what you already are.

➡️But all it takes is a shift in perspective.
Doesn’t mean your whole situation will change over night.
But when you shift your perspective, your reaction to your circumstances can change, so your experience will change, your energy will change, and slowly you’ll see your outer world catch up to the change.

How do we do that?

Book a 💚Heart Talk💚 with me and I’ll guide you through a shift in perspective that will
🪷soothe your heart
🪷align with your soul
🪷and allow your deepest desire.

If a chat for an hour could turn you in the direction of your heart’s aching desires would it be worth it?

Discounted rate is still available through the end of February for 99 USD a session.
Message me with any questions.

➡️If you’re having trouble being motivated or inspired when you come home from work read on…

Sometimes it feels like we have only two choices
1. I can follow my low mood and brain and grab a snack, sit on the couch, distract and ingest. (This may be exactly what you need in a given moment so it’s not inherently bad. But if you’re noticing it isn’t serving you, doesn’t feel good then you may want to keep reading).
2. Or I can force myself to go exercise or work on a project against my will or call a friend or any other action you aren’t joyfully entering into.

May I suggest a 3rd option?

DO NOTHING

Literally or Actually (whatever word you’re supposed to use in this case) DO NOTHING

1️⃣Have a seat
2️⃣Set a timer for a few minutes
3️⃣Close your eyes
4️⃣Just BE

Don’t move
Don’t think (with any attachment. Thoughts will happen)

JUST BE

I promise that afterwards you will be in a much better position to CHOOSE how you want to move forward from a connected place instead of reacting or forcing.

You don’t have to do anything special to connect. (Though I love placing my hand on my heart💚 That helps me).

It’s so simple. You just let yourself be. And naturally, you will reconnect with your SELF.

We could also have a conversation,
💚HEART TALK💚,
a solution focused approach to coaching
to take you from
disheartened, uninspired to ➡️ allowing your deepest desires✨

I have a few spots left for $99 sessions only sold at this price for February.
If you’ve been thinking about jumping in for one, message me and we’ll get you booked in.

It is my favorite honor to be trusted with learning about your desires and facilitating the kind of transformation that allows them to arrive.

From my heart to yours 💚🪷💚

💚YOU’RE JUST ONE MOMENT AWAY💚

CONFESSION: I haven’t been feeling great lately. I have been very attached to certain circumstances and not experiencing them is driving me a little nuts.

There’s doubts, fears, downward spirals, tears, you name it

And the momentum is swung in that direction. It’s ok, I’m human.

But I had an experience the other day that made me laugh and laugh🤣🤣🤣, I don’t even know why it was so funny but I was transported from doom and gloom to
✨Joy
✨Fun
✨Hope
And I realized those earlier feelings weren’t my end all reality. That’s just what I was experiencing in that moment and it wasn’t going to last forever. It never does.

You are only ever just one moment away from experiencing something totally different.

Your job is to
trust that it will come and
to allow it once it does

It will inevitably come, it has to,
like your breathe coming in and out,
like the waves that go out and in,
like the weather that changes,
like Lady Gaga’s hair color😂
Your thoughts, your emotions, they will change. So trusting that moment will come is not hard.

It’s allowing it once it does come. It’s letting yourself recognize that moment, milking it,
giving as much attention to it as you normally give to the negative thoughts and emotions and seeing where that leads.

From my heart to yours 💚🪷💚

YOU DON’T NEED COPING SKILLS

YOU NEED THIS⬇️⬇️⬇️

I can teach you all the coping tools in the world but I can’t implement them for you, I can’t integrate them into your system or your routines and it doesn’t do you any good to know about them but not use them.

And this isn’t a lecture about “doing the work”

But it’s why I use Heart Talk (a solution focused approach to coaching) in my work as well
Because ultimately,
Changing your life,
it’s up to YOU
and you will know what’s best for you at any given moment when you
💚Connect with the essence of what you truly want
💚Align with the version of yourself that inspires you
💚Remember your inner power and strengths and abilities

We can spend an hour working on
👍moving our bodies
👍breathing
👍practicing various skills
Which I do do with clients and it is helpful and useful and worthwhile and beautiful and fun

BUT, AND

The magic that is possible after an hour of focusing on
🪷what you want, what you truly want underneath the outside circumstances
🪷what that looks like, feels like, sounds like, smells like, tastes like
🪷how you know it’s possible for you (even when your mind doesn’t believe it is on face value)
🪷what skills and traits you have that can support your vision
is the magic that’s going to carry you through your greatest transformations and growth.

I’m here to support you on that path
To help you remember, in case you forgot, how capable, amazing, resilient, fabulous you are and what is possible for you despite the challenges and heart aches we experience.

➡️If you need a reminder, message me.
I’m offering one hour HEART TALK sessions
for 99 dollars this month.
Let’s schedule one!

💕HAPPY VALENTINES DAY💕

Today can be just another day
Or today can be the greatest excuse for love

Today can be used to remind you of what is lacking
Or today can be used to remind you of what is possible

Today can be a commercial driven, check the box, go through the motions day
Or today can be THE DAY, the only day we have, to be conscious, to be love and kindness
🥰For ourselves
🥰For our loved ones
🥰For the stranger on the street

May your Valentine’s Day be as sweet as this rose 💚🪷💚

💚”EVERYTHING YOU WANT, YOU ALREADY ARE”💚

This is the basic premise of the work I do with people like YOU

In a world where so much is out of our control…
🚫we can’t control politics
🚫we can’t control our partners
🚫we can’t control our circumstances (largely)

Why would we rely on being able to manipulate our circumstances (of which much we have no control) in order to be happy, fulfilled, ourselves?

Does that make any sense?

Having a baby, getting married, having a dream home or dream job will NOT make you happy 👶💍🏡
Otherwise everyone who ever thought that and had a baby etc. would consistently be happy and that’s just not the case.

You can look at the world around you and depending on what you see you can let that be the source of your joy or the source of your sadness
OR
You can look at the universe within you
You can recognize
💚your strengths
💚your power
💚your heart
💚your being
💚your abilities
All that you already have and ARE and with that perspective you can shift your entire experience without shifting a single circumstance

❤️‍🔥That is true POWER!
That is what I help you do
Because sometimes we just don’t have that perspective and need someone to put their hands on our shoulders and point us in the right direction.

If you have been struggling and wanting something in your life to change I believe I can help.

I’m offering 5 Heart Talk Sessions (Solution Focused Coaching) at a discount for the month of February (the month of love)

60 minutes
$99
Flood yourself with the kind of clarity, perspective, and self love that creates change

Message me to book your spot
