Happy New Year and New Beginnings!

I hope you can each look back and reflect on the joys that 2016 was able to provide you. Most importantly, I hope you take the not so good moments and find the joy in them anyway.

Wishing unconditional love, joy and abundance to each of you!

With love from Wyoming,

Happy Samhain and the Aspen

*** This was originally written on October 31, 2016.***


During the end of another year I sit in reflection of how my life has changed, evolved, died and blossomed. It is unique that during this fall, going into winter season, many will cringe at the fall of the Autumn leaves, complaining about the raking, or the crisp chill settling in the air.

Through my reflection of self I feel and see myself as the quaking Aspen. In full bloom I feel my strength of the leaves on my branches. Grounding myself deep into Mother Earth being fed and sustained. My branches reach outward and upward giving gratitude and receiving love from Father Sky. Turning my face to the Sun for warmth as it's rays melt deep into my veins. My leaves quake and shimmer as I listen to the whispers dancing on the breeze.

When my leaves fall, it is not a death I am undertaking. It is the shedding of another glorious cycle of life, experiences and adventure. I embrace the slumber of the wintery snow and the deep nourishment the white wetness brings to my roots. Its twinkling flakes dance in the mid-day sun as it twirls to kiss my branches. There, joined with other snow flakes, they rest their dancing bodies on my strong and extended limbs. I welcome their company.

It stoic silence the night air stills and I am in awe of the starry sky. They reflect the dance of the mid-day snow against the darkness above me. I listen. There is silence. Only the pulsing of the Earth between my roots and the occasional breeze heard by the Evergreens across the field and the slight sway of the naked twigs of the wishing Willow.

I use this fall and winter to go within and reflect on the changes happening within myself and the areas of enlightenment it provides. I see my strengths. My weakness. My misunderstandings. My joys. My growth. Like the Aspen, I go within, reflect and strengthen, and look forward to the blossoming in the Spring. For now, I rest.

It's a New Year. Samhain is here. The night when the veil between the living and dead are gone. The time with life and death are celebrated as it portrays the evolution of life. To live. To die. To live again. To die again. To be born. To pass.

I hope everyone has the opportunity to celebrate their new beginnings in a beautiful way, and that you allow your self reflection to be an time for creation and evolvement. Above all, please remember that YOU ARE LOVED in your transitions. Always love.

Looking Inward

Earlier this year I had the opportunity to do an inward reflection. It was intense and I felt that my inwards were literally being shown on my outsides. The deepest thoughts, feelings, experiences - all the good, bad, rights and wrongs were vulnerably exposed. I learned that when people are ready to change we sometimes focus on who/what we want to become. I've learned personally that when change is needed, healing is also needed.

I've been blessed with the opportunity to have exactly - the chance to not only change, but to also heal. I've seen how I've allowed myself to be a "victim" to some circumstances of my childhood and even my past lives. I do not claim to have been a perfect person or to have made the best choices, and I know that I have hurt many people in the process. Sometimes it is the hind sight that I realize that it's "too late to apologize". The key thing is - what have I learned from it and what will I do with that new found information?

The biggest healing of looking inward have been that of "how I see myself" and "how I value my relationships". I learned that when I am too late in reaching out to others, I only hurt myself and that relationship. For those lost relationships I honor the path we have walked together and thank you all for loving me and lifting me and for allowing me to be apart of your lives.

I did a little ho'oponopono a while back with some circumstances and people in my life, and I can't tell you how loving and gentle the healing has been.

So, for all who are struggling with people and circumstances in your life, I invite you to join me in helping to release the people and things that are holding you back from moving forward. Let's not just push our pasts under the rug, but allowing the healing to happen, honor the past, and then let them be release to the universe for healing and transformation.

Step 1: Repentance – I’M SORRY

As I mention above, you are responsible for everything in your mind, even if it seems to be “out there.” Once you realize that, it’s very natural to feel sorry. I know I sure do. If I hear of a tornado, I am so full of remorse that something in my consciousness has created that idea. I’m so very sorry that someone I know has a broken bone that I realize I have caused.

This realization can be painful, and you will likely resist accepting responsibility for the “out there” kind of problems until you start to practice this method on your more obvious “in here” problems and see results.

So choose something that you already know you’ve caused for yourself? Over-weight? Addicted to nicotine, alcohol or some other substance? Do you have anger issues? Health problems? Start there and say you’re sorry. That’s the whole step: I’M SORRY. Although I think it is more powerful if you say it more clearly: “I realize that I am responsible for the (issue) in my life and I feel terrible remorse that something in my consciousness has caused this.”

Step 2: Ask Forgiveness – PLEASE FORGIVE ME

Don’t worry about who you’re asking. Just ask! PLEASE FORGIVE ME. Say it over and over. Mean it. Remember your remorse from step 1 as you ask to be forgiven.

***I add in - "I forgive you", "I release you", "Please release me"

Step 3: Gratitude – THANK YOU

Say “THANK YOU” – again it doesn’t really matter who or what you’re thanking. Thank your body for all it does for you. Thank yourself for being the best you can be. Thank God. Thank the Universe. Thank whatever it was that just forgave you. Just keep saying THANK YOU.

Step 4: Love – I LOVE YOU

This can also be step 1. Say I LOVE YOU. Say it to your body, say it to God. Say I LOVE YOU to the air you breathe, to the house that shelters you. Say I LOVE YOU to your challenges. Say it over and over. Mean it. Feel it. There is nothing as powerful as Love.

That’s it. The whole practice in a nutshell. Simple and amazingly effective."

I hope you all enjoy the fall as we shed this layer of life and move into this next phase of loving and knowing. Look inward and love yourself from the inside out.

Love and light to all.

Beautiful Happenings

Life has been full of adventures lately and beautiful happenings.

This is my second semester teaching Reflexology at the Institute of Massage Therapy in Idaho Falls, Idaho. I've also been rewriting the course curriculum which has been an adventure in and of itself. Granted, it hasn't been the easiest to write quizzes, exams, set up learning objectives etc, but definitely a learning LESSON for me.

I have also been learning a lot about myself in the process. These past few years have been one of great awakenings and opening my heart, mind and spirit to more than I could have ever thought.

I have decided to get back into Massage Therapy and it's a wonderful and scary process. I have also decided to not just be a massage therapist, but to branch out to other healing arts and embrace what I have been studying and learning these past few years. In my process I am also at the beginning stages of moving over to Jackson, Wyoming to be closer to my man love. *Big Smiles*

Hopefully I'll be able to get my website up and have a large offering of services. I'm crossing my fingers for an easy transition and an outpouring of abundance and love.

Happy Mabon and Fall Equinox to one and all!

One love

Life is Beautiful!

I'm sure I've probably posted a title like this at some point in my online journey.

Yes, still dating the man I met a few months ago. Still living in Idaho. Still only working part-time, and loving it. Still happy with life!

Heart on my Sleeve!!!

I'm putting my heart on my sleeve and sharing it with others -

I met someone.

I have a cheesy smile while I'm typing this. He's more than I could have ever imagined for myself. I am so blessed to have him in my life. It's going to be an amazing journey with this man. I'm in total like with him! LOL.... and falling harder every time we talk.

*sigh*

Healing the Heart

I received an e-mail from a friend this past Sunday. When I first saw the person's name I got nervous but read the subject line: I'm Sorry.

Healing the heart, the full darkness of the heart, has been quite the adventure that I wish on no one and yet hope that everyone gets the chance to purge, feel and heal. To be honest, it is so overwhelming. I've been crying for days and have even had a little freak out at work. (I'm glad I didn't have any customers at that time.)

Just because some people won't be together in this lifetime doesn't mean that the time they shared was for naught.

I've learned that to love someone first and foremost, you must - MUST love yourself. Love ALL of yourself; the good, bad, rights, wrongs, light and darkness. It seems that even when I didn't love myself as much as I thought I did, I still loved others. Now, that I love myself totally, that love for others in the past has just been intensified. Almost overwhelming.

I know that one of my purposes here on Earth is to love. To receive love, to share love, to be love, to experience different kinds of love. It's always been that way since I was little. It's many of the meanings of my Hawaiian name. But I'm sure I didn't know how much loving people can not only feel amazing, wonderful, change and heal people/places/things, but also hurt. Not just hurt as in "I just fell and hurt my knee", but the soul wrenching ache.

I have been blessed to love and be in love. Each has played a significant part of my life and I no longer regret any of my experiences with them. I've learned, grown and have become better because of it. That is more than I can ever ask. I embrace those experiences like an old friend and love them like the sway of a tree being lullabied by the whispering breeze.

Thank you all for loving me and for letting me love you along our paths of life.

I love you, too.

Updating....

Just updating a few things in my life and dejunking others!!!! Man alive, does it feel good to release and let go of "things" and only keeping those things that are meaningful. I feel like I can breath easier!!!!

Here's an update on my website as well!

Love you all!

And please pray for those serving overseas. Thank you!!!!

Happy 2016!!!

Hello my darling friends and family,

I want to catch up and tell you my wonderful journeying's throughout this past holiday season, but first, a quote:

"When you face pain directly she will give you an ointment so the wounds don't fester." - Ruth Gendler

For those whom this makes sense - wonderful, for those whom it does not - wonderful!

Love and light

A Long Few Weeks

Since my surgery in February, I thought I'd have a lot of down time to rest and catch up on some projects that has been in the works for quite some time.

Surgery itself was quite the adventure. I had a friend scheduled to take me to and from the hospital, however, she ended up getting really sick. So, I had to scramble 1 1/2 days prior to surgery to find a replacement. I was so grateful that I found two people to help me at the last minute. Sadly, neither of them really care for each other, but that's okay - it wasn't about making friends; I needed help.

It took a long while for me to come off of the anesthesia. Schedule for surgery at 1330, came out whenever.... but didn't leave the hospital until after 2130. I was nauseous, light headed, and kept having the bobble head affect, and I couldn't fully feel my legs underneath me. They felt really heavy.

Anyway, a friend of mine insisted I stay at her house that night. I'm glad I did. She took me home the next day - and that's when a large part of the adventure really began.

Over the next week or so, I was playing the adjusting medication game. And attempting to cook for myself was just as hilarious. You see, I practiced doing a lot of my daily things using my left arm and hand and I became a pro. HOWEVER, I didn't take into account opening a can of food, washing dishes, or putting on a seat belt would be such a pain in the behind. LOL

One reaction I had to my medicine is that I was so constipated that I was in so much pain! One night I couldn't sleep and was so uncomfortable that I was praying to die! Seriously!

Okay, well, I believe I'm done typing for now. (I started this months ago, and just finishing it today. LOL!!!)

One love
