...THE JOURNEY OF A CREATED LIFE

HAVE YOU EVER HAD A PASSION YOU JUST HAD TO FOLLOW?

HAVE YOU EVER HAD A PASSION
YOU JUST HAD TO FOLLOW?

Have you ever noticed how our lives are made up of tiny, individual moments all strung together? And how each moment has the potential to change your life in immeasurable ways?

Are you choosing your actions in those moments or are you letting the moments define you?

This is it. This very moment as you read this one word, is it. This one moment is all you ever have. Do you hear the still, small voice inside you speaking your truth in these moments? Do you act in alignment with a bigger commitment than your circumstances? Or do you let yourself get hijacked by someone's words or actions or what you have made them mean about you? Be careful - you're doing it even now.

This is my journey through the moments, the choices, the breakdowns and breakthroughs. There will be wins and losses; actions that work and ones that don't; ups, downs and in-between's. I hope you join me. I hope you find something in my journey that touches you and inspires you to look at your own and, in these moments that are your life, to choose boldly, with love and authenticity.

This is my life, my miraculous gift that I chose in order to express the Divine in this world. I get the say in how it goes.

This is the journey of a created life.

So, to begin with, I haven't been here in awhile. Lots of life has happened in the meantime. And in my heart, this blog, the craft of writing and writing about life as is has kept pulling at me. It's hard to ignore those natural inclinations we have. I'm not going to make false promises to myself or to you about how often I will be showing up here. What I know is that I must. For me. For those who get value from what I write. For the very act of creating. I must listen. The rest will take care of itself. The most important thing to know is that I am learning to follow my heart, my gut, my intuition... my bliss. After 41 years of trying all sorts of ways to live, mostly involving "doing it right", "looking good", doing the practical and what I "should" be doing, I've had enough. I plan on living until 115 and I don't want to spend any more of my time living in ways that don't light me up. So.... - I'm leading transformational women's retreats and navigating what I love about it. - I'm creating living in a converted van or bus and traveling around with my kids (some or all the time... yet to be determined!) - I'm evolving my divine feminine energy and power by learning her, trusting her, letting her run free and wild as she is meant to - I'm writing again, working on a podcast idea with a friend - I'm leaning into relationships that matter to me, dancing more, laughing when I want to and always growing into the conscious creator of my life that I am Thanks for joining me! I'm excited for the journey exactly as it is, in this moment.

The first year without my children on Thanksgiving.... and still, I can be grateful.

I love art markets and festivals. I love walking around looking at the unique expressions of oneself that people bravely put out into the world. It makes the world a more full, beautiful place.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been a regular blogger and much has changed in my life. Some of you may remember or have read my previous blog, Closer to Core (www.closertocore.blogspot.com) and many of you haven’t.
