🪞You are not meant to carry regret like a punishment.
You are meant to meet it. Sit beside it.
And let it guide you. There is no living without mistakes.
But there is also no life when we hold tight to the judgment.

This month inside the Shift Membership, we’re working with the quiet places we’ve avoided—regret, false acceptance, and the parts of us still waiting to be seen.
💫 Come sit with us. Practice with us.

I’m loving the seasonal journey of the flowers 🌻, The daffodils greet us in spring —the asters usher in the fall — sunflowers steady along the way.
It’s a totally different way to live through the seasons.🌷🌻🌸 They are like medicine for the soul.

She was holding on so tight. To the job she hated. To the plan she thought she should follow.
Even her body started to hurt.
Until one day… she jumped.
She took a risk, followed a whisper, and found a path she never could’ve planned.

Not everything that heals you will make sense.
Sometimes you have to let go—and trust what meets you on the way down.

Most of us are living backwards.⁠
We let the mind run the show—narrating, controlling, resisting—while the heart quietly waits for us to remember its wisdom.⁠

This practice isn’t about silencing the mind.⁠
It’s about putting it back in its rightful place.⁠
Letting it support, not steer.⁠
Letting your presence—not your patterns—make the choices.⁠

This is the seat of the Buddha.⁠
The soul self.⁠
The one who chooses with clarity, not fear.⁠

It was never meant to be this way. But when we live from fear and not faith it can be no other way. Our nervous system won’t allow it - Literally!⁠

This is living from fight, flight, freeze instead of rest. Instead of from a state of being. ⁠

Are you ready to live from that place?⁠

“The mind was never meant to lead. It was meant to serve.”⁠

This is the practice of taking the seat of the Buddha—what I also call the seat of the observer, the soul self, the unshakable self.⁠

It’s not about fixing anything.⁠
It’s about learning to see—to notice how the mind loops, resists, judges… and to gently sit beside it instead of getting swept away.⁠

3 simple steps.⁠
Not easy—but life-changing.⁠
And available to you right now.⁠

✨ Sit in the seat of the observer⁠
✨ Watch what the mind judges—and ask why⁠
✨ Let thoughts exist without a thinker⁠

This isn’t just a three-day practice.⁠
It’s a way of living.⁠
A return to clarity, stillness, and presence.⁠

The mind relaxes.⁠
The heart leads.⁠
And life gets to move through you, instead of sticking to you.⁠

Self-acceptance is always one of the biggest struggles.⁠

Constantly fixing.⁠

“Somewhere in the future, I’ll be good enough.”⁠

For me, it’s always been about waiting to feel good enough to write—well, to share my writing.⁠

It feels like standing naked - thoughts, feelings exposed..⁠

Yikes. That’s scary.⁠

Well here is a short “thought poem” sent with love.⁠ More to come

PS I love the little hand widget !⁠

Don’t waste your time trying to figure it all out — it’s not meant to be known.

Instead let us open to the gift of the ever-evolving mystery of life.

That’s a journey worth traveling! 🕊️🦆🐑💓🙌🏽

Since I have nothing to say about the election what I do want to mention is why the hell haven’t we been early voting forever. Whose idea was it to make us all vote on one damn day!!

A total head scratcher 🤔

This month’s Shift Talk is on Emotional Eating:A Spiritual Perspective

Have you noticed reaching for a snack not out of hunger, but as a response to unnamed emotions?

Emotional eating goes beyond coping—it holds deep spiritual meaning. This month, explore its layers and messages.

Whether you eat in stress, control through restriction, or cycle through indulgence and rejection, delve into why these patterns resonate so deeply.

Emotional eating reveals our spiritual quest for comfort, peace, and connection amidst emotional turmoil. It’s a search for calm amid inner chaos, a silent plea for understanding and care.

Join us for this FREE talk Thursday Oct 24th at 8:00

Most mornings, I get up at 5, before the house begins to stir. I treasure those few minutes in the liminal space between wake and sleep, where my dreams and the clearer messages from my deep unconscious are still accessible. I quietly make my way up to my office, a space that has taken on a rich, almost womb-like feeling. It’s a place that feels like a portal into a comforting state. Despite having a house with many rooms, it’s this one that makes people stop and say, “Wow, this feels different.” I always smile because I think they’re sensing me and the work I do here. My work a series of gentle nudges to the ego, allowing me to see into my clients’ deeper places, letting the self beneath the wounds begin to shift so that they can reveal their true heart, passions and desires.

In these early mornings, I sit and talk with my dreams. No energy is wasted in our perfect system; the energy and images of my dreams help me work through my own discomforts and pains, those areas where I don’t yet feel whole.

I love my animal spirit cards. Did you know it can take months, sometimes a year, to make friends with a deck of cards like these? They need to trust you, and you them, and then you can discover a secret language spoken between you, the cards, and the deep unconscious—not just mine, but the unconscious realm itself.

These are my cherished mornings when I spend this time. Then I come down to all the daily tasks: making breakfast, gently waking my child, knowing he is in the same magical place I just left and hoping my gentle touch can help him linger there a bit longer.

Did you ever think that fear was actually a gift - or a pathway to joy?

Fear is everywhere, touching many aspects of our lives. It feels like at every corner, there is something to be afraid of. One needs only to pick up the phone or turn on the TV to find a million reasons to be scared. Fear shows up in countless ways, whether it’s worries about our jobs, anxieties about personal relationships, or concerns about our children. In an attempt to free ourselves from the grips of fear, I’d like to take a deeper look at fear—its roots, its purpose, and how we can approach it from a clearer, more empowered place.

But perhaps fears serve as lessons or warnings, guiding us rather than restricting us.
