We are, we are, we are.

••• Hi, Spring. Hi, new life. Hi abundance that is always available at every second. Feeling these words from @dr_clarissa_pinkola_estes DEEP in the soul space. •••

We do not become healers.
We came as healers.


We are.


Some of us are still catching up to what we are.
We do not become storytellers.


We came as carriers of the stories 
we and our ancestors actually lived.


We are.


Some of us are still catching up to what we are.
We do not become artists.


We came as artists.


We are.


Some of us are still catching up to what we are.


We do not become writers…dancers…musicians…helpers…peacemakers.


We came as such.


We are.
Some of us are still catching up to what we are.


We do not learn to love in this sense.


We came as Love.


We are Love.


Some of us
 are still catching up
 to who 
we
 truly are.

Potent Bridges to the great Beyond

This art says it all. Feeling more in alignment after an ammmazing soul session with local shaman, Bloom Post. And then to top it off, last nights' sky! Wow. The moon's invitation to reflect, release and receive seemed so potent. Incredibly happy we have the night sky to look at every night. To soak in all the healing lights. To remind us that there is so much more to this life. Praying everyone who also experienced a chaotic 2016 is beginning to feel the peace and light. ๐Ÿ™๐ŸปThanks Devany Amber Wolfe of Serpent Fire for creating this piece of work that reflects so much new vitality, balance and power. ๐ŸŒ™ #awakening

Moving From Depression to Expression

Be kind for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle. - PLATO

Have you ever felt water turn into fire? I'm talking about the tears that carry so much weight, so much heaviness that they seem to create a sort of combustion inside of your belly. It's not long before you are picking yourself off the floor in a bout of rage. This, my friend, is your soul's way of transmuting emotions. This is turning water into FIRE. This is the space where great art is created. This is the fire that transforms lives. This is what the road of depression to expression feels like.

Are you depressed and ready to start healing through expressing yourself more fully? I say do it. Let the tears fall. Let it all out. Get mad. Set the fire, be kind to yourself. No Judging. Let the emotions lead. Soon, you will find yourself exactly where you wanted to be.

Trust me.

I recently had an awakening that left me out in the cold. It was the sort of awakening that  completely shattered my world. Everything I believed and trusted was turned upside down. My relationships, faith in God and health were stripped away in one single day. All of my "stuff" came into the light and I spiraled fast. I was not the least bit equipped to handle the insight and repressed emotions that came riding on the awakening wave. (More on this story, later.)

But here I am a year later, much, much different .

Still fighting. Still alive.

Inspired to share my story. Letting my vulnerabilities and sufferings be of service.

Here we grow!

Dear heavy souls,

๐Ÿ”ธSometimes you have to take steps back in order to move forward. ๐Ÿ”ธ


I'm not sure where I first heard that, but it's been my mantra for the past 9 months. If you are stuck, hurting, fed up, lost, feeling hopeless and tired of trying to make it work, I feel you. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป It sucks.
But just because you feel the heaviness does not mean you are weak. Heaviness leads to healing. And healing requires bravery and strength. You are at the cusp of transformation, my friend. Do not be scared to let go. Let the tears of vulnerability fall. Let the walls down. Let your heart break open and feel everything. No matter how long it takes.


I'm grateful for all my friends and family who held space for me to do just that. No judgement. Just unconditional, pure love. ๐Ÿ’› Let's remember that everyone is going through something. Let's open our hurts and minds and allow more vulnerability to shine. ๐ŸŒŸ
