I'm thrilled to share that my recent article just got published on Elephant Journal AND got "Editor's Pick"!!!

It's lightly about Solstice and mostly how to best utilize the seasons to benefit us the most.

I'm overflowing with graditude.

Thank you to my editor Anjelica Ilovi for the wonderful work she did on this piece and for her choosing it to be Editor's Pick!

If you enjoy it, please consider paying it forward and sharing it with others and showing it some love.

May it be of benefit.💜

We can easily get sucked into the tradition of the hustle and bustle of the season and shopping. Unfortunately, when we do this, it's also easy to fall into the trap of equating our value to the price or value of the gift given or received.

I'm honored to say Elephant Journal has published another one of my articles!

With Solstice at our heels tomorrow, this may help to inspire the change we all so desire.

"The time has come to burn the old paradigm to the ground, starting with each of us as individuals."

If you've found it to be of benefit, please heart and share. May we all ride on this energetic wave together. 🙏🔥💜

We all seem to be getting poked, triggered, and bombarded by outside influences—including the current worldwide pandemic.

This is relevant now more than ever.

Wishing you all peace and hope within these trying times of uncertainty and chaos.

Give a listen if so inspired.

Remember...connection starts with "self" first, so be kind and nurturing to yourself. Then compassion and kindness will flow out like a gentle river.

Sending much love. 💜

It comes with a heavy heart that I share with you my dad passed away last night.

I would not ordinarily share this kind of personal news on social media. However, the universe delivered two supportive and beautiful gifts to me today. I believe they may also help some of you.

Here's what they were:

The first was a song that came into my head.

"Come Rain or Come Shine"

https://youtu.be/RL_P-gHxI3Y

The other came in the form of a Poem that Hedy Larmarr read at the end of a documentary I caught part of today.

I found the original poem in it's entirety online...here it is:

"Anyway: The Paradoxical Commandments"

by Dr. Kent M. Keith

People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.

The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.

People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.

People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.
Help people anyway.

Give the world the best you have and you’ll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway.

Even though I feel a big gaping hole of emptiness and an unusual feeling of an orphan (my mom also passed two years ago). My heart is full of love and gratitude for those two beautiful souls who created me in my humanness. They also gifted me much wisdom.

The song reminded me of their love, and the poem was a reminder of how we must live our lives.

Don't wait. Be courageous and live the life you've come to fully engage and experience.

Much love to you all. 💜
Kelly

Love never dies...it can only transform.

Triggered???

What are they?

What are they asking of us?

What are we to do with them?

This video helps add clarity and how to best make use of those triggers for our personal transformation.

I posted this video a year ago, and it is so relevant for our current times.

If you have not seen it, I invite you to take a peek.

If you saw it at the time of original post...I encourage you to be open to a second look. I think you'll be surprised at how relevant it is during this Scorpio season we currently reside in.

Much love to you and may it be of benefit. 💜

I've recently been hearing a lot of this lately:

"We're just battling negative energies that get in our way now a days".

I just sent a personal reply to this to someone, and I thought since I've been seeing a pattern, I've decided to post my reply publicly.

May it help any who are struggling with similar experience

My reply:

As far as the battling negative energies...we all have to experence the cloudy days to appreciate the sunshine.

When the day comes where we take off our battle gear and turn our attention to something more productive...the dark will leave us alone because there is no fight to be fought. It's not a refusal to see the dark...it's claiming our sovereignty. We the light have already won. Our duty now is to stand in our power, shine our light, and when we do this we set a path a blaze for others to follow.

We the light are not fighters...we are lovers. This does not make us weak...it makes us powerful examples of change makers.
