We all arrive with various strengths and weaknesses. I'm going to ask you to focus on what you naturally do well. What comes with ease and perhaps always has? Does it come from your head, heart or body?

I used to think my Natural Gift was how much I cared. I was ALWAYS told when I was growing up that I cared too much. That I was too sensitive, too big a heart and that I'd have to learn to toughen up.

Into corporate I went and I led with heart. It was my strength, my gift and it would overcome everything!
Year after year I used my heart less in business.
Year after year, I got hurt by using it.
Finally depression hit and a nervous breakdown soon after. But how? Wasn't caring my strength?
I used to run to my heart to fixed everything!

Not until I began doing this work, and not until I actually listened to what my heart was saying, did I realize my true gift and big shocker it was actually led by my head!

My heart gave me the direction and motivation but my head is where my gift lies. Now daily I am able to sit with clients, in session after session and bring clarity out of their chaos. It is not only my gift but my absolute honour. I now see more good, more action and more love come back to me now that I fully recognize my gift.

Some of us can naturally compute numbers and finance, while others can heal bodies or coordinate people.

Connecting with your Natural Gifts provides you with your tools and boundaries.
So why do people seek you out?
What do they come to your for?
And what comes so naturally that it actually fills you, and does not empty you?

Use your Natural Gifts as tools to raise your frequency, to give to others and most importantly to self. Fall back on them when in times of need. And use them on yourself when you feel lost or empty.
Your Natural Gifts are unique to your programming and your talents are needed both for yourself and those around you.
​
Become aware of what you are naturally good at.
When unbalanced USE them, to refill.
And when ready, use them to SHINE BRIGHT!

​Love has always been connected with renewal, fertility and expression. You cannot do it any other way. Love leads to growth. Love leads to connection. Love is a seed from which we as Spirit grow.
Ancient Romans celebrated the Lupercalia Festival Feb 15th each year, focusing on the coming Spring and Fertility.
In 269 A.D. Saint Valentine was put to death for having married couples so that the men could avoid going to war. He was killed on this day but not before sending off a love letter to his lady, through her father, a jail guard he had befriended.
In the 1400 a French duke imprisoned in England began to send out love poetry and by the 1800 Valentine's Day had become fully commercialized.
As with most things, you have to peel back the layers, find the root and that is where truth lies. Love is no different.
A healthy love is one free of pride.
It is focused on health, safety and expansion.
Love is a vulnerable state. It requires trust, self awareness and authenticity.
Leading with love is not about the thoughts in your head. It is not about your fears and your assumptions.
Showing another love, is showing them respect.
Showing them that you care in what they choose to care about.
So today, ask your loved ones what they need? Ask what do they dream about? Ask if they feel safe? Ask if they need any assistance in regards to health?
And ask yourself, who around you would do the same for you?
Because my dear, you are a creature of Spirit, and your growth is dependant on the love both from within yourself and from those around you.
If you wish to expand, grow & create... Choose Love

Today on social media I went by a post of an old friend. She alluded to mental health and questioned if it was appropriate to open and share her troubles with others. ‘It’s not what people want to hear’ she wrote.
 
This is my message back to her…
 
Emotions are meant to come in waves and it is our choice on how to ride them.
But if those waves hit you daily…
If those waves overtake you and you cannot get air…
If you can no longer control how you ride the wave…
It is time for help.
It is time to speak up. But to who?
 
When dealing with water you need support. You need people around you can help navigate, who can feed you while you do so and who can hold your head above water when all you want to do is give up.
 
You express yourself to those that will support.
 
My first two bouts with depression I shared it with no one. I was ashamed and lost. I thought I could take on Poseidon’s waves by myself. I didn’t want to bother a soul.
But then a nervous breakdown arrived. My brain shut down completely to save me. It wouldn’t let me get out of bed. It wouldn’t let me speak. I couldn’t move. I couldn’t care for my children. I was dying.  
This time I had to share. I needed help.
I shared with my immediate supports, my ‘team’ as I call them. My daily supports of close family, friends and co-workers. They got me through the pain and they still, to this day watch my waves closely and monitor my need for enhanced support.
 
Then this past spring I fell under the waves again and I shared it openly.
I was terrified to my core but I recognized I needed all hands on deck.
So I shared my story with my clients, on social media and with anyone who listened.
Supports stepped up from everywhere.
I was sent flowers, food and messages of love.
Not only did I receive support, I found understanding.
 
So my dear old friend, if the waves are too much for you to handle, please I beg that you began to share this with your supports. Start with your ‘team’ and then community and allow them to hold you up.
 
Sometimes I think we just need to get out of our own way. Let pride fall to the side and resist feeding the fear.
Lead with Love for yourself.
You need help and beautiful lady it’s okay to ask for it.
My supports saved my life.
And I truly believe that sharing my story, helps to support others.
If nothing else, at least they know they are not alone and neither are you.  

​Several years ago I watched as many of my female clients connected to the warrior in themselves. I watched women stand up, say no and walk away from unhealthy relationships, one after another. Now, I am seeing a huge wave of women needing to mother themselves and I thought I would take a minute to describe what this actually means.
 
A mother’s energy in it’s purest form is compassionate, it is supportive and it loves unconditionally.
 
We see this in Mother Nature, in Grandmother Moon, in the energies of Mother Mary and goddesses worldwide.
The Feminine Mother Energy of our Universe is the highest, most divine love of all and now as we shift, as we come back out to connect and guide our communities, she is needed more than ever.
 
So why is her energy supporting us so strongly at this time?
Because we are tired and lost.
We are emotionally overwhelmed.
We are fighting off the deceit we’ve felt for so long. The lies we’ve allowed ourselves to believe.
 
First we said NO.
Then we said Me Too.
Now it is time for MOTHER’s to be heard.
It is time to give the Divine Mother’s energy space in your being.
 
Our mother is the one who watches us screw up, we cause problems and she still loves us.
She watches us go off, independent, proud and she sits back as we fail, wipes our tears  and through her actions shows us that again NO MATTER what, her love is not based on conditions. It comes to us, as her child, no matter who we are or what we do.
 
I am well aware most of us did not get this from our own mothers, which makes it even more important to MOTHER OURSELVES.  Because you were not giving it, does not mean you aren’t worthy of it. It means your mother couldn’t do it herself. You can and it is critical to your growth.
 
Allowing myself to feel my emotions, to give them space and not judge them… that is mothering.
Accepting myself, my actions and my failures… that is mothering.
Allowing myself to prioritize my own needs at my own time… that is mothering.
Showing myself compassion… that is mothering.
Being able to ask for help and take it… that is mothering.
 
We have stood our ground as women and we are now saying NO. We are coming together, sisters in hand to share our stories. Now we must create again, anew and the mother energy within us all will support us throughout.
 
Recognize you are not small, you are not unworthy, you need not live in shame and guilt.
You may have made bad choices, but that makes you human. That is the journey. You fix the decisions you made, you set things right and that begins with the way you see yourself and the level of compassion you have for self.
 
There is no pride in this energy.
There is no judgement or fear.
 
We no longer have to sabotage our lives or believe the deceit and BS.
We are now ready to see the abiding truth of your own value, power and deserving.  
The world needs mothering. Our communities and children need mothering.
But first, we must start with ourselves.
 
Settle in. Be gentle on yourself and lead with love, even for self.  THAT is what mothering is.

As many of you know, and for those who don’t, I have the mental illness that is depression.
It started as anxiety at about 16 at which point I was put on my first pill. By 20 I was diagnosed with my first major depression and that was followed by my second episode the next year.  By 40, I had been through 3 depressions and one nervous breakdown, so to say I am very aware of my triggers by now, is an understatement.
 
These past two years have been unlike any other (captain obvious) and unfortunately it brought out numerous triggers that I found incredibly difficult to escape. Since the start of 2021 I watched my health decline in all ways. By Spring I couldn’t do it anymore… and how did I know it was time to step away from everything and take a break? I had lost ALL control over my emotions.
 
Just like most things in life, mental health is a scale. Most of us have sad days, sure, but we do not wake up sad every day with the complete inability to control it. You see, our mind is what makes us human. It is the tool of Free Will and it allows each and every one of us to create our own realities and it is from our mind, that viewpoint, that we see the rest of the world and as the image says, what you feed that mind is one of the MOST IMPORTANT things in our lives.  What you feed your mind determines what you see, feel, experience and learn.
 
But if you or someone you love has lost control of their mind and no matter what they feed it does not get them out of the ‘slump’, then they have reached a point on the scale in which they need help.
So why did I step away for several months? Because I needed help.
 
Put pride aside. Put embarrassment aside. And put your mental health first.
 
YOU ARE WORTH IT.
​IT IS TIME.

Please take a moment to remind yourself of this today.

Breath in this statement...
We are all doing the best we can, with what we have.

Turns out not everyone has a heart, or brains, or common sense lol And that is okay! Not everyone in life is going to be at your level, and not everyone is going to understand you.

But you my dear are doing the best you can. So be gentle on yourself, both in head and heart. And breath.
You got this!
