On The Road To Find Out…
A beloved song by the great Cat Stevens. This song has pulled me out of many funky spaces. I love the uplifting beat and the lyrics, they carry me home.
Speaking of “home” here’s another great quote by Ram Das… “We’re all just walking each other home” .
I have been reflecting upon the idea of remembering, what it means to me to remember and ultimately what that looks like, feels like, sounds like and how it manifests in my moment to moment existence. For me remembering means to live in God Consciousness. Said another way, to embody the divine essence that lives within me and all things, the truth of my oneness with all that is, seen, felt and witnessed on all levels. Each day I wake with immediate thoughts running through my mind. “Is this enough, am I doing a good enough job, will I make it, am I giving enough to my children, will my business be successful, and on and on. I make a great effort to shift my consciousness towards God and the thread of oneness that connects all things. I create affirmation practices to repeat upon waking as my consciousness comes online and out of the sleep state.
Inevitably though there are days I wake up already feeling defeated, already questioning my worth and my ability to make a difference, do the “right” thing, or create a life I feel excited and alive about. I know in the deepest part of my being that this remembering is the antidote to all of these rushing thoughts of self doubt and a feeling of “I am doing this alone”. So I continue to do my best everyday to get my mind and heart aligned and stay on track with this process of embodiment, of allowing and above all else, trust and faith. Trust that my efforts are enough, faith that God hears my pleas and is answering my call, trust in divine order and timing and faith in the process without needing to know how.
I pray each morning and give thanks that all obstacles on this divine path be removed, that everything for me be presented in a way that is easy for me to understand and receive. I pray that I be divinely guided by a greater force to stay the path and make choices that align with my highest good and the good of all. So you see, I do have good intentions, but is that enough? And isn’t that the age old question that we all have on repeat in our minds? “Is this enough, am I enough, am I doing enough, praying enough, trying hard enough, do I know enough?
Upon reflection, taking time to still myself and my mind, go within and just be, I find that somehow all that I need is there in that stillness. And yet I forget frequently. No matter how many times I gain clarity and direction, inspiration and motivation within that sacred and still place in myself I continue to question. No matter how many miracles occur in my life, the perfect and aligned opportunities, an inspiring and life giving new connection, all the money, the house, the jobs/clients, etc. that come, I STILL FEEL DOUBT! Is this just the human condition? Is there even a destination here? Somewhere to get? A new and aligned sense of reality? Or is it just my job here on this earth to keep showing up daily, moment to moment for this practice of remembering.
It is my greatest desire that those whom I interact with feel this knowing, this presence and perhaps even get just a glimpse of remembering that allows them to begin or continue on their own path back to the truth of their divinity and the embodiment of their invaluable presence. To remind people of how beautifully divine and purposeful their existence is, how blessed we all are to breathe this air and carry our own unique and God given gifts.
So if you’re like me and you wake up with your mind racing with all the what if’s, just remember…
We are on the road to find out and of course we’re all just walking each other home. So remember that you are a unique and important expression of the Divine. You are part of a greater whole that without you would not be the same. Your beautiful and radiant expression is not only needed but makes a difference in this world that you may never see or know.
And here is a practice to try out if it resonates with you.
Instead of “what if it doesn’t work out” try “What if it all works out better than I can imagine?”.
Replace “Am I enough?” with something like “Everyday in every way it is getting easier for me to remember my true and divine worthiness”. And in the face of “what if I fail” maybe try “Every experience and opportunity brings me closer and closer to my divine purpose” or “It is getting easier for me to trust my inner voice”. There are so many possibilities around “changing our minds”. Most importantly whatever statement you choose has got to resonate with you. If you make bold statements like “Everything I do results in success” your conscious mind may not buy into that. But if you create a phrase or affirmation that opens you to the possibility of a new experience then your conscious mind begins to engage by searching for and finding evidence that this reality does in fact exist. Anything is possible! We just have to find a way to align ourselves in a way that we feel open to having a new experience and letting go of our old ideas of limitation that at one time, I’m certain, created a sense of safety for us that may no longer feel right.
So no, you are not alone on this road. Yes, things can change.
Here’s to a beautifully aligned and inspiring practice beginning to grow stronger each moment and each day. Don’t give up. We are all just walking each other home and this is a place where your visions will be held with possibility and reverence, your fears will be held in love and connection is of the utmost importance upon this path we are all walking together.
I have constructed multiple new ways in which you can work with me. It is my belief that with this work and the profound shifts that can happen in such a short amount of time extended support is necessary to really integrate those changes into your everyday life.
I am now offering several different levels of participation that include sessions, weekly coaching calls, a custom designed practice for daily use and custom made hypnosis recordings for nightly use. I am also working on building an online community page where I will offer free recordings, based on subscription level, monthly community class guided meditations, daily practice outlines as well as universal hypnosis recording designed for various and specific life goals.
With the premium package participation it will also include discounted prices for upcoming online and in person workshops as well, depending on where you are located.

Online community and platform to come. Should be up and running by August!
With so much love,
