A lot of people have a dream about writing a book one day when they have infinite time, or are on vacation, or are retired.
It’s a nice thought but I don’t buy it.

Firstly, I find the more time I have, the easier it is to put things off until later. You will still have time later right?

Relax! Have a marg. You can write this afternoon when you are rested. Or tomorrow to start fresh, or hey this week is filling up and you don’t want to be stressed, how about next Monday? Oops Monday you sleep in and have to race to go surfing while the waves are good. Or you are too sad that you are lonely and your life sucks.

There’s always something.

Whatever my current complaint is, I remember that in the past there was some other thing going on. I’d think, “When this settles down then I can put focus on my writing.” And then it settles and: There is always something else.

I try to remind myself of this so I can appreciate the present opportunity I have to just do it anyway!!! Writing is ultimately for ME. I feel good when I do it and I make my energy make with interest from being fulfilled by it.

That being said, if you are literally limiting a multitude of things from your life that you would normally say yes to because you are really that swamped…then yeah maybe you are really too busy. You have a reason.

But if you are managing to juggle everything else decently…you can probably find time to do stuff.

Unless you just have to admit…it’s not that you can’t right now. You just don’t want to. And that’s ok, too.

Just don’t lie to yourself.

Here’s your message for faster progress and consistent inspiration so you always know what to do and create next.

I pulled The Judgement, as well as Ten of Pentacles. This feels accurate for the year ahead, 2020.

This excerpt may be used in my forthcoming book for interpreting the whole Tarot deck. Take a moment to be open to any positive shifts that may occur as you read this sacred writing and remember to breathe.

The time is now: see things from a higher perspective and tap into abundance and growth. The cards I pulled this month, Judgement and 10 of Pentacles, will be resonating for all of 2020.

We are promised the experience of abundance: love, harmony, effortless expansion, fulfilment, hope, and wholeness. The pathway to this experience is one guided by a higher consciousness, detached from worldly expectations and concerns.

Generally, the word ‘judgement’ has a punitive connotation. some things either suitable or unsuitable, good or bad, worthy or not. This judgement is actually a call to a higher consciousness that provides a different perspective to the every day.

Have you ever noticed how you feel also affects your thoughts and perceptions? Follow and cultivate the energy of higher consciousness, and select energies to heal and guide you even when your logical mind would have you focus on other things. This will lead you to a true abundance, rather than an impoverished spirit.

You must be willing to see yourself in a new way and defy expectations. Stop looking to others to give to you, and instead believe in yourself. This is all serving you, to help you, to be more.

Stuff has been coming from the past. Old feelings of not being seen. When I listened in … I learned a lot.

I thought that if I was performing, applauded, visible, that I would satisfy the root cause of the feeling and it would go away or change. Nope.

What it was really about was not being seen. It was about feeling beautiful, just for me. ❤️ Yay.

Here’s your message for faster progress and consistent inspiration so you always know what to do and create next. I pulled The Four of Pentacles Reversed, as well as the Page of Wands, for the next month.

This is an excerpt from my forthcoming book of interpretations for the whole Tarot deck. Take a moment to be open to any positive shifts that may occur as you read this sacred writing and remember to breathe.

Keywords for 4 of Pentacles Reversed: Insecurity, Not Enough, Low Resources, Doubt, Idle Activity, Insecurity, Lack of Grounding

Keywords for Page of Wands: Inspiration, Channeling, New Ideas, Messengers, Writing, Singing, Acting, Organic Creation, New Starts, Beginnings

Our insecurities can lead us to find new inspiration this month.

Four of Pentacles Reversed encapsulates all our feelings and fears of not being enough, having enough and doing enough. Rather than repressing or suppressing these fears, get in tune with them. Take care of your deeper needs. Eliminate a reliance on outside stimulation and distraction from the core place these things come from. Sometimes we try to fix or change our situation rather than observing the root of our distress or discomfort.

You may find that connecting to yourself in a deeper way will allow you to find new inspiration for your creative projects. Page of Wands is a fresh wave of creative energy and ideas.

You may receive or give an important message that adds new sparks, perspectives or elements to the creative stew. It is a time of new beginnings and endeavors. When you are in the zone, you feel clear on what needs to be done and you have the impetus to do it immediately, even if it is something new and different.

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:)
