Here's to Endings (graduating NHI)

I can't believe this but I graduate from National Holistic Institute of Massage Therapy on Friday January 25th!

I have had soooo much fun through this process and am sad to see it behind me. I can't believe I made it through the entire 10 month program, it went fast!

Along the way I met the most amazing people my favorite fellow students; Joe, Nino, Aaron, Jamie, Daniel, Crystal & Tazhane My heart skips when I think about not having them in my everyday space and routine.

In June, while looking for an externship site, I found Erin Wallace with the Modern Mystery School. She ended up initiating me into King Solomon's lineage and a month and a half later I went through an intense Galactic activation with Martina Coogan of the MMS. Erin introduced me to her then assistant, Tia Holmes. I took the keys from Tia and have become a part of Erin's team.

Tia has become my business coach and one of my closest friends. We both came into the world under the same sun sign in 1978.  She introduced me to an Accounting program that I will use with my future clients to save them and make them money. Tia is one of those clients as of this month.

Seth met Liz Curiel at a golf tournament and she became my favorite massage therapist coach. She knows what she is doing when it comes to the body and what it really means to use massage therapeutically. She has now transferred into the role of client and is learning to receive.  I had a lot of fun practicing my confidence and massage skills with her at sporting events and quilting clubs.

I've also aligned with Lorna Johnson (via Tia) who, if I'm not mistaken, just may be part of the crew sent here to rock this world into the New.

I wanted to send a super shout out to the best NHI mentor to ever exist, Franki Menzel. Everytime I think about this angel I laugh. He is my favoritest ever. I don't think I would have made it through this adventure, this gift to myself, without this man in my world.  Thank you Franki. I will love you forever and always.

First client massage in my space

Thai will definitely be incorporated in my work

Hot Stone Therapy on the Chakras

Full Blood Moon & Solar Eclipse

Holy shit, I had no idea how cool the moon was going to be last night. I didn't realize we were going to be able to see it even! I don't know what I was thinking, maybe that it was going to be happening in the middle of the night or cloudy (which it was all day!) or what. I was lying there on the couch, we were watching Harry Potter and I noticed how fabulous my body was feeling. I could see the geometries at both ends of my spine at the base and at the top of my skull and all throughout my body. I said out loud - I sure do like the way this eclipse feels.

It wasn't two minutes later Bailey looks out the window and says 'Look at the moon!' Sure enough the eclipse was just beginning. We sat out on the deck and watched as it got darker and darker and finally peaked. I took out my pendulum of course and went to each of them connecting to their heart and then lastly to my own imagining the dodecahedron in each of us. The moon looked soooooo awesome! It was like this planet just sitting there. We are so used to seeing it white in the sky but this time it was red - it looked like Mars. Bailey said, 'Wouldn't that be cool if it floated down into our hands and gave us all of our manifestations right now and then turned into butterflies' I was like, yes. Yes it would be. hahaha!

The boys went inside first and Bailey and I had a moment to thank the Universe for allowing us to experience this. We walked inside to view it from the couch but as soon as we turned the corner, the clouds had already covered it! It had literally been cloudy and rainy all day. It's as if it came out to let us watch the earth's shadow cover the moon just for us to experience it. It was the most incredible thing I've seen in a while.

Queens Throne

I am in the process of eliminating everything that does not ignite joy in me. One big one is our dining room chairs, where we all sit for dinner, where I work from my laptop, where the kids draw day after day. The kids pick at the faux leather and they end up looking something like this. 

I asked recently to replace them. I wanted something that made me feel like royalty when I looked at them or sat on them. The next day I found these at a thrift store for $18 a chair.

I was so excited but didn't buy them right then and there. The next day I would go, as soon as Bai's friend was picked up from the sleepover. When she did get picked up, I loaded the kids in the car but then couldn't find my key. I spent the rest of the afternoon searching for them - I looked in the sweater I wore the night before, the pants I had been wearing didn't have pockets so they definitely weren't in there, I did three loads of laundry and organized all the cupboard in the kitchen. By the time I got done at 4:30 I decided I better call the thrift store and ask them to hold the chairs for me until I could get down there. They said the chairs had sold at 2pm. The time I would have been there had I been able to leave when I wanted to. Right after I hung up the phone, I found my key at the bottom of the laundry basket in my bedroom. It had no business being there. I don't use that basket, Seth does. I had nothing of mine in there. I cried. I didn't understand why that had happened. 

It didn't take long for my perception to shift. I know what I had asked for, and those chairs, even at that price, was not what I had asked for.I will find the right set - that was just a little reminder to me of my power. I went and found some sarongs that I've taken on the Green River, which do bring me a lot of Joy and I incorporated them into the chairs. 

I realized that had I purchased those chairs from the store, I would not have had an opportunity to say Thank you and Goodbye to the chairs that have supported us through the last few years. This was the first set Seth had purchased after getting clean. They mean a lot to our family and I truly am grateful. Each person tied a sarong onto their own chair, connecting with it and showing gratitude towards it. I'm glad I had this opportunity to remember what's important. 

AND I look forward to receiving my throne :^)

Money Matters

The more I work with energy, the more I notice what I'm not acting in accordance with my divine sovereignty. For example; the wallet I've been carrying around for a few years is def not inspiring to open up and pull out cash or card. Look at how I have treated money in the past! 

 Seth's was the same way! When I told him it was time for me to upgrade, he said Me Too! Apparently he had a new wallet that had been sitting in his car for years but he's not taken the time to switch it out until I told him I was ready to receive more money and upgrade the way I treated energy coming to me in this format.

And so, I said "magic man, darling, I would like an inspiring wallet that makes me feel like Royalty when I carry it." And he said, "Here you go" and provided me with this - same day. 

I absolutely love it. AND it cost me $5.

From here on I will treat money as if it is my friend, someone I like spending time with, investing in, someone I am grateful for and appreciate so much. Because all these things are so very true.
