Many things have transpired since I last posted here. I plan to be more present on this blog soon but for now here are links to several of my newsletters to update you on recent happenings in my life.

Decided to update and include the most of the above newsletter here:
Coming out from
under the bed. February 19, 2018
Newsletter
Greetings Beloveds!
I'm finally emerging from hiding. I've been in a state of overwhelm with the
recent changes in my life. Margi's
death took time to fully impact me. In
the beginning I was in a state of shock and grace all at the same time. I felt her intimately close to me in spirit
for the first few weeks. She was with me
even closer than before. I can still
connect with her but she is not so powerfully close now. I so miss her gentle easy presence in my
daily life and her way of seeing situations from so many angles. She credited that talent to her Piscean
nature. Miss you and love you Margi! Rock on in spirit!
I've been avoiding teaching All Love classes for the last
couple months because of all the feelings inside me needing to get out. The classes allow participants to open to
their hidden or pushed down feelings in a safe and supportive environment. They open us to healing and releasing whatever
arises. I knew that I would go into a
healing if I was to try to lead the class and that's not my role as
teacher. So I hid "under the
bed" for a while letting my grief process unfold.
So many times I found myself in a painful and
uncomfortable state through the grief and the fear accompanying it. There's a part of me that doesn't fear death
but sees it as a delicious release from limitations. But I do fear being incapacitated and
becoming a burden to others. The death
of someone close brings all these things to the forefront. When I felt the pain and fears I tried to
run from them, unsuccessfully. I had to
remember what I teach my clients and students; to embrace the feelings no
matter how uncomfortable they are. Treat
them like your crying children and embrace them with love. The quicker I did this practice the quicker
the feeling would ease and let go into the next moment of experience.
It really is true that what we resist persists. Embracing the feelings is an act of self
love. Finding a safe space to fully feel
and even safely act out the feelings is life changing. The key is safe and supportive space either alone
or with someone that can hold you and witness with love without taking anything
personally. I've had the grace of
having healers and friends that could hold me and guide me to the center of my
pain and fears. So much was released and
so much light began to shine through afterwards. I was told to look in the mirror after a
session and I could see the lightness shining in my own eyes.
I hope my sharing is helpful for your journey. These sad
and challenging times call on us to respond to the world and ourselves with
love and compassion, not fear and malice.
Feeling fear and even rage is an honest human response but passing that
rage and fear along to others is crux of our problems. Feelings come and go quickly unless our
minds begin to obsess over them or we are chemically imbalanced. I've been though both obsession and
imbalance. I'm an on-going work in
process as I let go, embrace myself lovingly and let the 'peace of being' arise
through these sad times.
I'm happy to say I've
done enough work that I'm ready to teach again now. I'll be offering an All Love class on
Saturday afternoon, March 10th from 3pm to 6pm.
Hopefully we will have weather that doesn't interfere by then. The cost is $35 and I offer discounts to
those that need them. Hope to see you
here as I re-emerge right before we 'Spring Forward'!
From my heart to your heart, much love and many sweet blessings
to you!
