Last night Ellany Cevan joined me for Queen of Dreams Radio. We laughed so hard, and had a great time talking about stepping into dreams.

This morning I woke up thinking about last weekend when Ellany and Brandon, her husband, were over. We had been laughing SO HARD thinking about how we all used to dress. We walked back in time to high school and talked about wearing Guess Jeans, M&B, whatever was ‘hot’ at the time. Ellany and I had shared a stint of “Madonna” and had hit the bangle bracelets and bows in our hair. Oh, and before that, remember Olivia Newton John, “Let’s Get Physical”? Oh my, I had just become an athlete and was totally strutting around school with a headband (matching my sweats and shirt, of course!) Then, later I was off to be a preppy, sporty tennis player honor roll girl – ala Square Pegs, if you will.

Mark said I looked like a Go-Go girl, and Brandon, who is much younger than the rest of us, said, “What’s that?” We all cracked up laughing – I mean, seriously laughing so hard that my sides ached. Okay, yes, I did get pulled into the Belinda Carlisle look for a bit, but that’s kind of what I already looked like anyway!  

After about an hour of telling story after story of the fashion faux pas, the fashions we would rather not remember and how ‘cool for school’ we all thought we were, we had tears rolling down our faces because of laughing so hard.

I am so grateful for friends and to be able to laugh so easily.

Today, I’m wearing black ‘walking shorts’ – I haven’t worn walking shorts since high school when I was all ‘matchy-matchy’ and had every color of the rainbow walking shorts with matching penny loafers (red anyone?) and corduroy or hounds tooth jackets to boot. And guess what kind of shoes I caught myself wearing today? You guessed it… black penny loafer slide-ons!

No wonder I feel 16 again! Laughter, friends, fashion, life… that’s what is important at 16!

You have to admit

these are CUTE!

A couple of weeks ago, Kim St. Andre and I talked about being ‘you.’ She suggested staying in your ‘own’ energy and disconnecting from everyone else so you can know truly what ‘your’ energy is.

Yesterday, I watched another installment of Finding Sarah, and on this episode, Sarah (Fergie, the Duchess of York) works with a horse to learn how to stay in her own energy and not get ‘caught up’ in the horse’s frenzied fear.

As I watched that, I realized that to know your own energy is one thing, but to be able to stay centered and calm within an energetic hailstorm is another thing. We need both.

I watched as Sarah held her energy and the horse linked to it and became one with the calm, leaving his fears behind. I believe this is what people who are grounded and centered do for the world. We serve as anchors for others’ energy. David Hawkins, in his book Power vs. Force, talks about one person at high frequency being able to lift thousands of people’s frequencies.

Can you imagine?

Just by being responsible for your own energy, you can gift others? What a deal…1 for 10,000!

I know that I used to feel irritated when I felt ‘hi-jacked’ by someone else’s energy. At the time, I didn’t think I had a ‘choice’ in the matter. In some people’s presence, I would begin acting in ways that I didn’t feel were ‘me’ and I would say things that made me ‘cringe.’ My method of dealing with all of this was simply to stay away from people. It wasn’t until my guides began to show me how to hold my own energy that I was able to walk into a room and hold the space for myself – and others.

Now, I see that the view of ‘them’ is really only ‘you,’ and anything that is ‘happening’ is only because there is a perfect match inside of you for the energy to play out or be fueled – and healed, if you choose. In this, the gift is on both sides – for you, for the other person. Still, you can choose to play – or not.

Holding a space of love for yourself is truly the easiest and fastest way to be you and to help others to be themselves, too.

Kids have been in school for nearly eight weeks now. It’s almost time for the holidays. Are you hoping that an energy fairy flies along and makes a deposit into your energy bank?

If so, you might want to begin to ween yourself off of the old caffeine now. Yes, it is tough at first, but yes, you’ll have MORE energy of your OWN after that. I did it myself recently. I am amazed at how much more energy I have that is natural than I do when I am hitting the coffee beans.

Two other things can make a huge impact on your life. One is drinking enough water. The other is to walk 30 minutes per day – 10 minutes at a time can work, too.

These three things are a sure bet for MORE energy MORE of the time. They won’t undo the junk food and sugar/salt rushes, but they go a LONG way toward helping with those cravings.

Pretty soon you’ll be as vibrant as one of these…

A few days ago, I met with a prospective client. When I walked in, the energy felt still – stale. Not moving is a good way to describe it. Status quo, so to speak. I noticed it and didn’t think much about it since I am a catalyst, and the only companies that usually come in contact with a catalyst are those that are either stuck and not moving or are not moving fast enough.

I noticed, during the meeting, the tell-tell signs that there was not going to be a match – but I didn’t want to acknowledge it. Arms crossed over the chest, uncrossed, crossed, uncrossed. Legs flitting open and crossed, open and crossed. All the signs of “I’m uncomfortable.” Legs crossed can be a tip off that the person feels threatened in their territory (root chakra). Arms over the chest can mean the person feels threatened in their personal power (solar plexus).

Oh yeah, all the signs were there. But why? I wondered.

Well, part of it was my energy. By sharp contrast, I felt like a firecracker next to the sleepy energy of the environment. How many people don’t jump around with a firecracker in the room?

It isn’t the difference that matters, it is how much of a difference. On a spectrum, there’s an imaginary comfort zone that is alarmingly real. We all have it and we all know what it is – individually. Whether we know consciously or not is a different story.

Anyway, I started thinking about this. I know that a match is a match and not a match is just not a match. It’s not personal. It just isn’t a match. If one door closes, another opens so to speak. I found out in the meeting I was a near identical match to one of the people on some levels, but I could feel I was not a match to the energy – I was way too off to the side to be in the comfort zone. As I reflected about the meeting on the drive back to the office, I could feel something was off. But, I plodded on with the actions – the follow up. I kept seeing the woman’s legs folding and unfolding as if I knew at some other level. But I wasn’t listening. Hmmm.

But a day later, I had to admit that I did know. My energy definitely was not a match. Was I willing to force fit a relationship? In the past, I definitely would if I thought I could add value, and it was always to my personal detriment. Now, though it took me a day or so to pinpoint what didn’t feel right. Today, I know that there’s an easier way and one in which I can be myself – truthfully and energetically.

After that, I asked for clients who were a fit to find me. Sure enough, the next morning I met a woman who was like a breath of fresh air. The next day (today), another woman emailed me and I’ll be speaking at her conference here in November. Two perfect matches in less than 48 hours. Now that’s what I’m talking about!

You can always have what you ask for. Just remember to ask, and remember you don’t have to settle.

Imagine this…me, driving down the road in our Tahoe (silver-ish), dancing in my seat to the Black Eyed Peas new album, The End. There’s not much I love more than music that takes me to another place.

This album reminds me of how I felt when I was in my 20s… carefree, bullet proof, anything is possible…and what could be better than that?

Mmmmm, a luscious treat at any moment you want it. Just hit play.

Are you feeling as energized as I am this year? I hope so… wow, this year is amazing already!

I am so grateful for each one of you…for the messengers… for life.

The energy right now is fast… like lightning fast… use it to your advantage to get things cleared out, cleaned up, and moving toward what you truly want to create.

I love, love, love how special this time is. Just like you… and me… let’s make the most of it!

Mark asked me the other day how I can write about three or four days for so many posts. WHAT is so important? What could you possibly say for so many posts?

Hmmm, that’s a great question, I thought.

Everything and nothing at all.

One of the things I noticed the most on that trip was a surreal type of energy that would envelop me at the oddest times… and would finally come to a heightened sense of ‘Hey, listen to me!’ the last day.

This energy, if I had to describe it was sparkly like stars in a flume of rainbow currents. Beautiful, inviting and magical. I so wish you could share in it.

Yesterday, as I described this feeling, I said, “Have you ever been talking to someone and it felt like they got really close to you even though they didn’t move?” Thankfully… she said, “Yes. I know that feeling.” If you know that feeling… it’s that same feeling, but not as magnetic… more flowy and spacious.

What a sweet messenger it is to heighten the awareness!

During my guitar lesson last week, my attention felt magnetized toward the window that was just to the right of me. Time seems to drift away during these lessons, and I rarely take my eyes off the instructor for a second. An hour can vanish in what feels like seconds.

But last week, my eyes kept wanting to go outside, through the window and out to whatever it was that was grabbing my attention.

“It” turned out to be a flying squirrel and a lovely woodpecker. The woodpecker was HUGE! My sense was that the squirrel caught my attention so I could see woodpecker. Though this bird was giant, I believe she was a girl.

And here is what I could find on our friend the woodpecker – and she DID so feel like a friend. How sweet and lovely she was!

When a Woodpecker totem enters your life, it indicates that the foundation is there and it is safe to follow through. It will stimulate new rhythms.
It reflects a wakening of new mental faculties.

You may be so wrapped up in mental and spiritual activities that you’ve neglected the physical. Listen to your body’s rhythms and sounds and heed what it is telling you.

The Woodpecker is sacred to Zeus, God of Thunder, and the oracle of Mars (Ares), God of War. Shamans can ride the drumbeats of the Woodpecker’s rhythm into another dimension, space and time.

Boy is this right… time to get physical, physical…

I wrote about Robert A. Johnson’s book, Inner Work, a few days ago and wanted to share a little more about why I so connected with its information.

For a long time I have been deeply involved with my dreams – I have prophetic dreams, I have lucid dreams, I enjoy regular unconscious type of dreams, and I, of course, LOVE to help clients achieve their dreams.

As long as I can remember I have thought about my dreams in the morning. I lie in bed trying to pull back as much as I can about what I was dreaming. Each one has a distinct feeling to it similar to how I read energy for clients. Some of the dreams feel ‘real’ as in…you are connected to someone else. For example, I often will have dreams for my business clients or about my business clients that show me something I need to know. It is truly ‘what you see is what you get’ where the characters are telling me something about the client. Other dreams have been more like I was actually witnessing something that was actually going on in their true life. I take care to disconnect as not to invade anyone’s privacy – usually this happens when it is something I can offer to listen about. Trust me, after the experience I had with my intuition breaking open the LAST thing I want is to know anyone’s private thoughts!

All of this to say that I have always wondered if everyone perceived their dreams in this way. Do they feel like mine do? Do they work the same way? And, in this book, Johnson shares how Jung talked about the archetypes as an ‘energy’ that we, as a collective group of people, tap into. These archetypes are as old as time, and whether you know about them or not, they hold wisdom, truth, understanding for you.

As I read this, I got more and more excited because this is how I’ve lived – everything has a soul… and energy… information…wisdom. EVERYTHING…and how appropriate that even our archetypes are messengers of truth.

My mind is literally spinning with the possibilities of what this means as I recall the images that have been coming over and over the last few months…queens, goddesses, fairytale type characters that whisper… “Pssst, this way…” Mother Mary, during the Gallery at Hope House talked about everything, every day being a joy…and the image that came to mind was Snow White as this model of singing with the birds.

How joyful it is to live in this world…free to roam and free to be me. I hope you, too, will join us in this magical, sacred world of energy where EVERYTHING has a message for you.
