Why create? Is it to get famous? Make a million dollars? Change the world?

All of these are external reasons for creating. Personally, I think they time out.
When your focus is on something deeper like using it as a way to express self love, you will always be successful at your intention.

What I mean is, I’ve been doing this for a while now. I began writing in earnest over ten years ago, had a business almost that long, and singing for five years.

You can look around and see a lot of people who haven’t made it to the level of stardom and infinite impact. I’m not there yet. You can meet people with crazy talent who haven’t made any money at it. Why bother doing it then? Haven’t they “failed”? When push comes to shove why do I keep going when those big dreams aren’t achieved and honestly may never be achieved? (Btw I don’t need pats on the back over this, that is besides the point. I’m approaching this with a shrewd mind and there’s a way to do that in a highly healthy way, I should be applauded not told “there there I’m sure you’ll be famous,” really it’s okay. I feel glad that I don’t NEED that to feel proud of my work. Yeah, sure it could be cool, but it’s not the priority for me like society encourages.) The truth is that internal motivations are more powerful. Everyone tells you to dream big. Well, I’m saying, maybe you can do it another way.

Maybe the joy of expressing yourself is equally valuable. Maybe self love is valuable. It’s not all about saving the world or making a million, which will look great to other people, right? What about what’s deep inside of you?

Is your soul valuable?

I’m taking a stand for your right to shine, to express, to let your soul and who you really are pour out of you. Maybe no one will read you, hear you, or maybe just a few will. That doesn’t mean the process was not worth it.

In fact you are your most important audience. Make something beautiful and fulfilling for yourself. Love yourself. Breathe life into your world ❤️ You matter.

I’ve…stopped caring. About things that hurt me or made me feel small or like I needed to prove myself or overly explain.

There have been these things that kept me circling in stress and anxiety in the past. Often now I think of this or that thing that used to be so triggering and I think, “I don’t care.” And I am glad. Because it’s better not to exhaust yourself on every little thing, when you need to care about yourself, your priorities, and the people and things that really matter.
I’m picking my battles, so to speak. I don’t have to care about everything to be a good person. I don’t have to make sure everyone is on the same page as me. I don’t have to right every wrong. I don’t have to think through responses to things that have happened or will happen. I don’t have to keep it all close to my heart if it’s not my bullshit. I’m done.

When it matters, it matters. When it doesn’t, I don’t care. I don’t care. I don’t have to care.
Timing is everything, and when it is important to deal with, I will know.

And I am free to care about what I want to care about and not what some external force dumped on my doorstep. Nope. Don’t care.

You’re doing enough just by feeling your spirit, just by being in touch with your heart.

Everyone in my sphere wants to make a difference, do something great. You are.

Live your life purpose?

Just add compassion to the mix. Just add love. Just add presence and consciousness.

Things tend to unspool when you connect whatever is going on to these sorts of higher energies. You don’t have to banish the stuff you don’t like all by yourself. Just invite in the grace.
Believe it or not, just being present can change the world from wherever you are, whatever you do or don’t do. It’s enough. Don’t stress. Follow the heart and pull the thread.

Even if you feel crappy, underachieving, not there yet. It’s enough. Just listen.

Life has pain in it. Anyone who says it’s 100% possible to avoid feeling pain through ANY method is full of shit. Babies come into the world crying.

And yet there is a lot of good stuff, too. Pain can in fact be okay. Trying to avoid pain can also be denying the fact that it is possible to grow through pain, to honor life through pain, and to find beauty in pain. That to love another person means being ok with the fact that at some point there will be some pain! So will choosing to be alone!
The point of life isn’t to constantly run. It isn’t to slap a happy face on everything and do endless gratitude mantras.
Be okay with reality. See it for what it is. There is some grisly shit–have you opened your eyes to our climate problems? And the effect on animals and our environment? Not to mention humans?

But maybe you can make something beautiful out of pain, draw some hope, some meaning. Make a song, a book, a speech. Do something cool with it. That’s the real deal, right there.

Are you ready to do your part to change the world – to do the things that only you were preordained to do? 

You only need to flip on the news or open up Facebook (or look out your own window) to be bombarded with the pains of life on planet Earth at this time. People are hurting.  Systems are broken.  Children are starving. And souls are suffering. However, the suffering – on the individual and collective level – can be eradicated forever and we, together, can restore human kind and our beautiful Earth back to the state of wholeness that was designed eons ago for us. The answer is right in front of us. The solution to this restoration, healing and transformation is through Circular Leadership.

I love helping a book be born!

I’m super proud to have edited a few chapters of this new book. Check it out on Amazon– the Kindle version is only .99!

If you want to create change, it often helps to have a team. But is there a way to work together as equals? Rather than putting some members above the others? Yes!

This book explores how Circular Leadership has been working for a really cool organization:)

Any society that shames EMOTIONS as a lack of self control will serve to solidify the control of the powerful and privileged.

It’s a TRAP.

It is a form of controlling the masses to accept the situations that make them feel oppressed and blame themselves rather than those in power.

Because–everyone has emotions and should have emotions.

But those in power have fewer people to hold them accountable or punish them for showing it, even when it harms other people. It’s easier to stay calm when you live a privileged life, but even if you are an emotional mess, there is less oversight keeping you in line like everyone else.

And people in less advantaged positions feel more strong negative emotions because they are being oppressed! And they get to feel the consequences of behaviors spurred by emotions of the privileged, and the powerlessness, sadness, or anger around not being able to do anything about it. If they try to say the other person lacked emotional control, it will just be thrown back into their face for being even more emotional. They are emotional because they have been victimized, wouldn’t anyone feel that?

The only way to escape this paradigm is to FORGIVE YOURSELF for having emotions and stop trying to control them. CHANNEL them.

Step one: Write. Make art.
Step two: Meditate
Step three: Tell someone SAFE who will not put this oppressive point of view on you that there is anything wrong with your emotions.
Step four: Repeat or take conscious guided actions to change your life like getting away from toxic people, having boundaries, making amends, or seeking legal counsel.

Below is the message for the End of July up until August’s Full Moon to help you to make faster progress and always know what to do next because you can hear your intuition and trust it

I pulled Page of Wands Reversed, as well as Two of Pentacles Reversed, for the next moon cycle.

This is an excerpt from my forthcoming book of interpretations for the whole Tarot deck. Take a moment to be open as you read and take big breaths.

I’m doing something a little different this month–during the course of moving to Japan I accidentally picked two cards, so I’ve combined the readings here. 🙂

This is a time to listen to yourself. Your ideas may be buried under other concerns. You may trying to be two different versions of yourself or get a lot of things done.

It’s time to retire who you have felt you need to be for other people’s sake or the things they might want you to do. Just concentrate on being fully yourself. Create time for what really matters to you and let go of other obligations as much as possible.

Stop juggling. If you take on too much at this time, some items may fall from your plate with a crash or you may become ill.

Know your limitations. Get rest. Await perfect timing for all things. Trust what you feel like doing. Put yourself first and be kind–to yourself and others.

Release pressure and attachment; and yet, allow yourself to dream. Be peaceful. Find time to go inside. This is a good time to wait before beginning other projects or continuing towards goals. What is really important to you at this time? Not others–you. Start there. Slowly. Baby steps are just fine. So is taking no steps at all–if that’s what supports how you want to be right now.

Focusing inwards may take some effort. It may help you to be in motion such as taking long walks, journaling, or other kinds of exercise and travel.

Be careful what you promise at this time or delivering on your promises may become impossible.

You are the sovereign of your life. The most important person in it is you.

You get it make it your way

This is my final note in a series that I’ve called, “It’s not about you,” so maybe you are thinking, “Hmm…how can I be the most important AND not make it all about me?”

Yes…life is funny that way, hehe. It’s a PARADOX.

It’s all about the energy. You will learn there is a way to do everything in an energy supportive of your purpose, and a way to do things in a way that just cycles your ego mess over and over again. You can make love in a healthy way, or with the wrong person. You can go for a jog or become anorexic through exercise.

Back to you being sovereign: You were brought here on the planet for a reason. Everyone has a unique purpose and path. I think you have a lot of choice how that takes form.

Being a spiritual person is not about surrendering and always being told what to do by a disembodied voice up in the sky like a slave. Especially for you women and service providing men. This isn’t the same world Joan of Arc lived in.

You are allowed to want, to desire, to yearn, to need. In fact it’s really helpful information for you to understand what is it that you are wanting with greater and greater clarity. It’s just where you look to for fulfillment of your needs and what you do with your feeling that can cause problems if it is misguided.

That’s why I recommend you seek guidance. Submit your desires to a higher force, breathe, and before you go out and get what you seek, just enjoy the pleasure of imagining what all of that would feel like coming true. Enjoy it now. Be in your feminine and draw it out as much as you can.

And then let it go.

How do you “do you,” and be a spiritual person? You must be human.

Again: You are allowed to want, to desire, to yearn, to need. Being a spiritual person is not about surrendering and always being told what to do by the divine.

Make the act of enjoying a ritual. A ritual to honor the Goddess within you. Even men have this force inside and it is healing to tap into, but I am speaking to women a little bit more right now. How to do this?

Put on some sensual music, put on something satin or cozy, whatever lights you up, dance around your space. Be sexy if you want to be sexy.

Or if you want to be free and light like a youth, go outside and do something silly: look at everything with the awe and wonder of a small child seeing it as something new.

Or be creative and use your imagination in a fun way. Go to a craft store and run your fingers over all of the paints, like they are delicious little keyboard keys you know how to stroke to make the greatest symphony (even if you don’t, even if you never paint).

Daydream and imagine possibilities, all while looking at your ceiling for hours. Play. Enjoy.

Do something totally pointless and fun on the side of your “main gig.”

Take a day to do whatever you feel like doing, write if you feel motivated, or watch TV, go for a walk, stop on a store. Be inspired and allowed to change your mind.

There’s time for this, too, and, if there is not, make time. You need this to thrive.

It’s not about you. It’s about how you are made: human. And humans are made from men AND women. Your creative process and whatever you want to get done is both feminine and masculine.

You must enlist the feminine to be the most powerful in completing your tasks.

The feminine requires your pleasure, power, and sovereignty to rise and unfold in this very moment, so that you can keep going, keep being motivated, keep having FUN.

Otherwise, if she’s not being honored, she will go float away and you will feel trapped in a life that always has something missing no matter what you do or what goals you accomplish or how perfect you are.

Decide to do it another way.

It’s not about you! Go feel good.

As May turns into June, here is a clip from my upcoming book on Tarot and a message to guide you to make faster progress. Based on the card I pulled, High Priestess for the next moon cycle.

Keywords: Authentic, Intuitive, Connected, Prescient, Wise, Consistent, Unerring, Wholeness, Divine Being, Elevated Consciousness, Royal Spirit, Inner Power, Healing, Body Wisdom, Inherent Intelligence, Feminine Power, Solo, Sensitivity to Working With Energy, Weaving

This cycle change denotes a shift where we have had some recent realizations on how to free ourselves from weight borne from the previous cycle. Now we are reconnecting to our own personal power and vision in a new way.

The High Priestess knows deep within her what her path is. She doesn’t need anything to guide her beyond her intuition. She releases the need to follow traditions if they do not serve her. She does not feel confined the way things have always been done. She can stand alone.

You may find yourself in situations that test you. These are opportunities to rely on yourself more and to decide how you want to express yourself.

Although you may be focused on creating something in your work or life, the High Priestess knows that her value is not in her achievements. It just is. She knows how to release attachment from everything outside of her, including to her goals or materialism.

Whether or not an outside source comes to match her desire in real form, she understand the power of her desire as energy. She understands the power of wanting what she wants, holding a vision, and being flexible with the winds of time. There are always other possibilities for how the energy can take form.

She is whole and stable. In herself, she finds all she needs. She knows she is connected to all, yet One with herself, alone. She is strong, and yet surrenders to the divine calling she feels guiding.
