Visions 2021.
As 2020 comes to a close, what is true north for each of us in 2021? ..
The Power of Manifestation. ..
Kate Randall and I have set a vision board date on the first new moon of the year. Inviting you to join us to set intentions and create your own map to navigate by as you head into 2021. ..
Every time I’ve created a vision board, it’s been a profound manifestation tool for my life. The simple act of cutting out images and words makes things emerge on the page, themes that I haven’t realized mattered to me or were guiding me. When I look back months later, I’m often surprised by how much of it I’ve manifested. This year, I want to create things in community, build 2021 together.

I got to spend Friday playing with 17 6th graders for the Girls Empowerment Workshop. We talked a lot about friendships and painted everything (including shoes, shirts and hair...sorry moms!). I love these workshops and am always humbled and amazed at what the girls discover and recognize in themselves. Some excerpts... @ Expressive Arts at 32nd & Thorn

“If I lose you in my jet stream, you only got to raise your eyes and see me fly. There is nothing that you can't do cause it's all about your attitude. Don't let them get to you.” Joss Stone. Contemporary R&B. Check. We get away from ourselves. I know I do. And yet there is a deep knowing and yearning to just be. Permission. Self-care in the biggest sense.

So much fun supporting Wenndi at her Space Clearing Workshop. And the participants made it so fun with their curiosity, quick minds and sincerity. and The mandalas... oh the mandalas. Space clearing is an art and a science. So much appreciation for the power of intentional spaces. @ Encinitas, California

"May you know the meaning of the word happiness.
May you always lead from the beating in your chest.
May you be treated like an esteemed guest.
May you rest, may you catch your breath." Jason Mraz

Play can come in the small moments and unexpected ways. I remember my daughter playing this song in the car for me for the first time. I heard the line about the slap bracelet and it made me laugh in sheer delight.

I still do and now she does too. we'll sing loudly in the car together (I'm tone deaf) and make-up lyrics. The rule for our ridiculousness is that the windows have to be up when we are at a stoplight to keep our bubble and so she isn't mortified by her mother. It's what is needed for our permission to be silly.

Play is simple and yet it can make the ordinary, extraordinary.

I get to play with some amazing women next month in Boston. So lucky to be doing the Permission to Play workshop with my good friend, Maureen Dr. Maureen Magauran this September. So many roaring belly laughs ahead and gentle spaces. Today is the last day for the early early, aren't-you-lucky bird special.

May you really own it each moment to the next...

"Create the proper subtle organs and it won't only be during the meditation retreats that you will be able to experience an expansion of consciousness, it will be all the time.

Even in the middle of a crowd, in a busy railway station or while driving in traffic jams, the new state of consciousness will remain with you. The experience won't depend on your mind being made quiet through seclusion, far away from the world.

Spiritual awareness will radiate from the Self through the vehicles that have been built, no matter what happens around you.

We are now at the state of building the third eye, as a first step in the realisation of the body of immortality."

-Awakening the Third Eye by Samuel Sagan

A couple spots are left for the Awakening the Third Eye Workshop this weekend in Solana Beach. We would love to have you there.

Lions, Enlightenment and Compassion. Not quite CS Lewis, but I opened up when writing this article to share what my experiences of meditation were like. It's always been something I've been shy about, especially when they are profound.

Oy. This article. Yes, you can meditate anywhere, but that doesn’t mean you should.

For those of you exploring meditation. There is a difference between mindfulness, which can be practiced anywhere (being aware of your surroundings and present in every moment) and meditation. In Meditation, you go inside. It’s a time when you let go of your awareness of physical surroundings and the your energy opens. Which means, if your surroundings are not that great, you are inviting that s**t in- think of what sits on the handrails of the subway. Yep, that.

It will not refresh you.

Meditation is simple, but powerful. Honor yourself and your practice in that.

Or, test it out... intentionally. Let me know how that goes for you.
