In my past the release from sugar got me off 13 medications. I knew that it was toxic for me. Getting off of it changed my life. It was the beginning of me waking up from a life long fog. And I found myself 7 years later with the same toxin in me, but it was worse, because I knew better then. This is what I wrote the day before I went sugar free one year ago today. 

Yes, like you, I am a work in progress.  People have asked me, "Are you of real? Are things really always as good as they appear?" Yes, I am real. I am a happy person with a positive outlook. And well, of course things are not always rainbows and butterflies.  I am human. I have ups and downs. Lately I'm mostly feeling like I'm on FIRE and everything is exactly as I desire, other times a construction site and honestly sometimes I'm a hot mess.  Just last week I shared with you an example of this. 

Last weekend, I went to the most magical, gorgeous, romantic wedding. Instead of shining my light like I was born to do, I stood in my shadow side. I chose to party my ass off, instead of organically sparkling like I do best. Did I have fun? Hell yes, I did! Am I proud of how I did it? No, I'm not. The truth is how I act doesn't just affect me. Whether I shine or sink, I am responsible for the energy I bring into a room and into the world.

While at the Rock Your Life Sanctuary this past weekend, it was seriously Lightbulb City! Not only was I so blessed to hold space and support everyone, but I got to see myself as I truly am. And guess forking what? I LOVE what I saw! I walked away from the weekend embracing and radiating my light. Much like my soul sister and mentor, Taraleigh Weathers, wrote about in her blog this week, I'm taking it all off! I no longer want to hide behind the veil of any ego based instinct to play it small or hide who I truly am. I am swirling in my superpowers, embracing my true essence, radiating the deepest expression of my soul! 

In yesterday's blog post I talked about the importance of self care and nourishment during and after a full moon. If you're feeling exhausted, that's ok! I am too. Release and the effects of the moon take a lot out of us. Now is the time to nourish ourselves and drink lots of water. (Maybe have a glass RIGHT NOW :) Yesterday,I mentioned a recipe for a super moon healthy meal my friend Joey shared.  You can make your own version, but it's important to include quinoa, walnuts (or cashews) and raw turmeric root. These elements are natural feel good foods that have an uplifting effect on your body, mind and spirit.  

Release can take a LOT out of me! And you!! It's NEVER too late to release. The power of the full moon and eclipse are still vibrating strong, you can use some of the rituals below or make your own. 
Last night I celebrated the Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse with beautiful rituals. The first thing I did was eat super moon healthy. The delicious recipe and photos will be up on my website by tomorrow!  Then I had to create the time for the experience. My beloved assistant was holding her going away party on the same night. It was not easy, making the shortest appearance ever, I would have loved to have stayed, played and danced the night away with this gorgeous soul. However, in checking in with myself -- creating the time for my rituals and getting a great night's sleep after was the most important thing I could do for myself. Remember self-care is not selfish, it's self fuel! After preparing myself with nourishing foods and creating the time, I dug in.

I look for the love and gratitude in every situation. I know seemingly steps backwards are opportunities to grow. I find the redirection in rejection. I see dis-ease as an invitation to focus on self care.  I celebrate my sensitivities and full range of emotions. I believe I have control over my actions, reactions, my outlook and my attitude. Everything is happening for me, not to me.

All of that being said, I also fall off the wagon and stray from my path. In the past, I've strayed far and fell hard. It took me a long time to process and get back up. Now, I know what works for me. I know that it's only temporary. I use my tools to bounce back.  

Not sure what your dream life is? My new mentorship program, Abundance Now will help you dig deep to excavate your truths. Myself, along with incredible guest mentors, are ready to support you as you fly. The program will give you clarity and the steps you can take to achieve what you desire. Maybe you already have clear idea of where you’re going. This mentorship will help you gain or maintain momentum as you work toward your goals both personally and professionally.

Do you catch yourself putting everything and everyone else before yourself? There was a time when I thought that was a good thing and self care was selfish. I had something I like to call The Cinderella Syndrome: When you do do do for others and take care of yourself last. I would always find the time, effort and energy for others and put myself on the back burner.  I would say yes to everyone else and no to myself. I was constantly burnt out and exhausted, even with a smile on my face. I hardly recognize that girl now. I say yes to myself easily and say no to others demands on my time when it's not in alignment with what I want.

Let's talk about LOVE, baby!
Let's talk about you and me. 

Think of your partner, family, friends and pets. As you think of each one, allow yourself to feel the love welling up deep inside. And as you visualize each, ask "How can I love you more?" Asking this question opens your heart to receiving the answer. Your capacity to love grows. Your heart expands. Can you feel it??? 

Last week, I had the incredible opportunity to participate in the Do What You Love Revolution.  My talk called Flying Free: Your Clear Path to Action was a huge success!  I was feeling the love from all four corners of the world!!!!  It was such an excellent learning experience and I want to make sure all of you lovebirds have an opportunity to see it! 

 In case you missed it, I have a special offer just for you!

Woo hoo!!! So happy and excited to introduce the new group mentorship program called Abundance Now: Uncaaged and Flying Free. Abundance isn't just about financial freedom, although that is part of it.  It's about creating joy in your life and relationships and improving how you feel about yourself.  It's about living your best life to the fullest.  It's about doing what you love in this world. It's about having more than enough.  Are you ready to release what's holding you back?  Are you read to get out of your cage and fly free?  The time is NOW and I'm so excited to help you!
