Live Your Dream Life with Passion and Purpose

I recorded the show, Who Do You Think You Are, weeks ago and just got around to watching it. We’ve watched all the other episodes, and this one features Brooke Shields who finds out *SPOILER ALERT – Don’t continue reading if you haven’t watched this and it is still sitting on your DVR or TiVo* she is related to French Royalty.

She can’t believe it and talks about how she majored in French Literature and also feels so ‘at home’ and ‘comfortable’ in France. She wonders if this might have something to do with her DNA.

What I can share from all the sessions I’ve done with people who were looking to ‘find themselves’ is that our ancestors are very much alive and well; eager to assist us on our journey. I’ve seen over and over again how these sessions have brought up some missing link between the ancestral past and the current modern day life. For instance, one woman I worked with had a grandfather who came to see her and who told her to quit fighting so much. He told her that her family was all about protecting others from having their property stolen, but that she didn’t need to continue doing this. She confirmed that her grandfather lived in South America and that is exactly what the family did – they were in place to keep other tribal nations from encroaching on their territory. However, she had no idea she was carrying this warrior energy in her half-cocked and ready for a fight at any time. She was able to release her fight and then focus her massive energy on something that was constructive.

For me, the last couple of years have found me trying to find my father’s ancestors. I know his mother was a full-blood Native American and that the family lived in Oklahoma. My maiden name is Colbert – that is a pretty big name in Oklahoma, but I still can’t seem to find my dad’s family. I feel especially pulled to locate ‘my people’ as my intuitive abilities strengthen and I work more and more with the grandmothers and grandfathers who come to work with my clients – both at retreats and also in sessions. I feel that my next mentor is actually one of my ancestors. I have many in the spirit world who assist, but this feels like a woman, possibly a man, who knows how to live in both worlds.

If there is a part of you that is restless, and you feel pulled to look at your ancestry, then by all means do it! It is likely your ancestors who are calling out to you – and guiding you in ways that are truly amazing.

Who do you think you are? You are so much more than you probably can even imagine. Find out!
