If you have the desire, it means shift is possible... I was talking with a friend last night and we were discussing how he doesn’t know next steps out of his current position for work... and yet, he has a new desire, for something completely different... And this signifies that change is entirely possible...... Energy needs direction in order to move... It needs clarification... It needs for you to open up to possibilities, desires, and what lights you up. Once it knows your heading, then it flows there... And opportunities start to present themselves... All you have to do is be open to what comes... even if it is not a total match to want you want. Because that is probably too limiting for you anyway What if things could work out? What if the universe has been conspiring to help you all along? What if the next thing is even better? I’m just sayin’ What do you think??? . . . #letthatshitgo #youareworthit #theuniversehasyourback #letgo #surrender #somethingnewiscoming #signsfromtheuniverse #inspirationalthoughts #digitalnomads #createthelifeyouwant #changeisgood #upgrade #uplevelyourlife #purpose #purposefulliving

A few years ago, I met this adorable family of then four while traveling through Arizona. Don’t get me wrong, they were happy back then... but something wasn’t completely aligning in their lives. When I sat to talk with them, they opened up about how they were tired of living a mundane life and didn’t know what to do about it... ... They felt burnt out and when I asked what things were bothering them, it sounded like they felt trapped... in the cookie cutter house, paying the same bills every month, taking their kids to the same after-school activities... Their lives lacked adventure... the unknown... learning through experiencing new places. They decided to take a family trip and something magical happened when they allowed themselves to align with what lit them up!!!

Our faces after dry camping!!! Ha ha don’t mind us, we’re just over here trying to figure out how to safely drive our trailer to the campsite, park it while not taking out protected Joshua trees, turn on a generator so we can power things inside (but only during certain hours of the day as allowed by the campgrounds), figure out how to work the propane stove, figure out how to get water pressure, figure out how to get hot water (hello cold shower!), all while staying cool, ca...lm and collected... This leads me into the perfect topic that came up in a book I brought along with me called Buddha Brain... I happened to land on the chapter about Equanimity. Equanimity is the ability to observe things while staying balanced and centered no matter what you are experiencing. Staying in a balanced place can only come when you remain in a calm enough place to see what is not working, to see what is out of balance... and only then can you figure out how to get things back into balance (or my favorite, allow them to balance out naturally). As we enter into this time of transition and change, one of the best ways through challenge is to observe things from a calm, non-attached place. Easier said than done It takes practice... telling the mind that everything is figure-out-able as Marie Forleo likes to say! One of the best things my teacher taught me is to surrender my attachments. In fact, all of the students used to giggle that every time we asked a question, our teacher’s answer was, don’t attach! It really has become the most important thing I practice in life. When you put it into practice, you begin to see just HOW MUCH you attach... which ultimately creates a lot of suffering. If you know me or have worked with me, you know that a big part of what I do with people is remind them of their true nature... to get them to laugh and smile at themselves and at their life. This allows you to start to release your grip over things and to see things from a different perspective. What things might be keeping you stuck from moving forward? What can you do to take a moment to pause and see if a simpler path arises? Sending you lots of love!
