Sound Healers Journey to the Top.

Journey to the top.

5am, up, pack, go. It was a whim. A feeling. I walked to the foot of the mountain and stared up into the darkness. Took a deep breath, and took the first step.

One foot in front of the other I began the climb. As my journey upward become steep, and I could only see a few feet in front of me, my body, mind, and emotions were challenged. My heart rate and breath started to increase. My mind filled with all the TO DO’s, and I became aware of the emotions of being on this journey alone.

I stopped. Took a breath. Connected within, and took another step. I focused on the sound of my feet connecting with the Earth. Another breath. I told myself, “The reward is worth the journey.” Another breath, I looked up and thanked the moon for lighting each single step. With every new step I allowed gratitude to fill my being. I just... kept... going.

And then, there I was. At the top! With time to spare I set myself up for the perfect view. Sunrise did not disappoint. Her shine grew as she rose from the horizon. Her rays embracing the world with her warmth. The animals rejoiced and welcomed her. .
As I witnessed her gentle rise, I also noticed my body felt strong. My mind clear. My emotions at peace. I made it and had found that I wasn’t alone after all. There were others, like me, who challenged themselves and believed in the beauty that waited for them at the top.
Deep breath.

Starting something new can challenge parts of your being you didn’t know were uncomfortable. But to align means to move through what’s uncomfortable so you can experience ease and flow.

Finding a New Sense of Equilibrium

Finding a new sense of equilibrium.

The count down is almost through and then another will commence. Are we counting down moments to an end or of moments of arrival?

Small town living cramps the style of my big city mind filled with scattered ambitious thoughts fighting to be let loose. And yet my heart tells me there is nothing to do right now... that “Here” is exactly where I am suppose to be.

Feeling the seconds of the day with each cool inhale.

Remembrance of what was and what has become, with each warm exhale. Immersed in the squeals of laughter from little nieces.

Lost in the colorful cascade of lights of the Christmas tree.

Early morning coffee joined by cuddles from my brothers dog.

Dad’s sarcasm. Mom’s check ins.

Long talks with my siblings.

The quiet here at night is immeasurable.

And so is my gratitude.

For so very long I've felt disconnected from this life, and now I have a glimpse of how my worlds can come together.

I feel it all.

Every little bit.

I find peace in this moment.

And I wish that for you.

I Have Given in to My Addiction.

I have given in to my addiction.

The romantic, sappy, predictive, Christmas movies playing on streaming services has me tearing up, drinking Malbec, and eating Godiva chocolate covered cashews.

Send help if this continues after Christmas…

Just saying… it’s 2am.

Do I keep going?

The Weight of Waterfalls and How to UNSubscribe

The weight of Waterfalls and how to UNSubscribe.

Under the layers and layers of voices making decisions for you is a tiny voice. One familiar. One carrying the weight of fears from others as their opinions stream in like a roaring waterfall. So much and so fast you find yourself overwhelmed. ⁣
⁣
“I am in control.” You’d say. But the truth is the subscription service you were born into dictates how the waterfall affects you. Some version of life that dances around as a masquerade ball… beautiful on the surface. But if unmasked you’d see everything you don’t want to see. The thirst for power. Dripping greed, and hate. But don’t worry, the monthly membership is a slow decay of your quality of life. And if you find yourself in a deficit you can sacrifice someone else’s. ⁣
⁣
What happened to freedom, love, community, and justice? As even those who are shouting from the rooftops thrive on its heights! ⁣
⁣
It’s easy to get swept up. Eventually letting time and the weight of the water slowly erode and mold you into something you didn’t signed up for… but once you awaken to this truth you then can empower yourself to unsubscribe. ⁣
⁣
There is a buy out fee however… you may have to leave some people, places, and things behind. The old ways of being don’t work when you unsubscribe. ⁣
⁣
Remember that tiny voice buried underneath everyone else’s voices? Get back to that. Then letting go of the illusion will become easier and easier, and you find yourself out from under the waterfall. Unclouded. Light. Stronger.
