Oh my goodness, I'm bursting with joy this week! It's a beautiful surge of energy, a welcome contrast to the pain I've known. Through deep activation work and clearing out the "garbage," I'm experiencing profound expansion and growth. Yet, this joy isn't simple. I grapple with guilt amidst global turmoil – political strife, narcissistic personalities, and family challenges. I am aware we all encounter that "Eeyore" energy, those who seem perpetually downcast. I guess what I was shown to share with you is that your journey is not like everyone else’s—you have your own journey. You have your own star connections, your own soul connections, your own codes. You are the only one with the codes that you have. You are the only one with the heart that you have. You are the only person who has gone through what you’ve gone through and healed from what you’ve healed from. You are the only one of you. And so, there’s no one outside of you who can dictate or judge you into being small, push you into being big, make your book get written, or make your podcast get created. Whenever you move into that mindset of I should be here by now or this should have been done already, anytime I hear that should energy, I know it doesn’t serve. Wow, there’s a lot of energy around should. Let’s just release some of that energy because, truly, creations come in stages. First, an idea might just be a little seed—a small spark that floats in when you’re driving, riding a bike, at the gym, swimming, or even making love. Some ideas come like fire, like water—they’re so big they won’t be denied. They keep pinging you because they’re given to you for a reason. And then you have choices to make with your actions, right? You never have to say yes. In fact, you could write a book and leave it on your hard drive, and that would be okay. You wouldn’t be judged. You wouldn’t have to worry if it never sold, or even if it became a bestseller and required you to do all these TV appearances. You could simply enjoy it sitting on your hard drive. But some books want to be in people’s hands and hearts. And if you’re the author, it’s your job to honor them and figure out how to get them out into the world. The same thing applies to a podcast. It’s funny—I was looking through my old MP3 files and found past podcasts that waved little flags and then disappeared into the ether. One of them, The Blessing Medium, I really loved. But I couldn’t fully stand in my mediumship. I am a medium, but I couldn’t fully embody it. It wasn’t a complete yes for me, even though I gave it a beautiful logo—a picture of a lion. And yet, even now, years later, that idea is still kind of pinging me. So, when creations come to you, sit with them. Start working on them. Ask how they want to be seen. Even if you’re only sharing with a small Facebook group of 12 people, those 12 people have their own circles—friends, family, colleagues. Everyone has at least eight to ten degrees of connection outward. For example, let’s say I have 50,000 or 60,000 people who listen to me. If each of those people told just three others, that’s 150,000 people impacted by what I’ve shared. Isn’t that phenomenal? It’s amazing. So whatever you’re doing, keep doing it. Know that your changes will ripple out and be felt by others. Okay, I got a little preachy there—sorry! Well… sorry, not sorry. Let’s do a meditation on embracing our soul’s purpose. This might not sound very formal, but let’s affirm: "I am here to serve my soul’s purpose. I am willing to lower my resistance to being seen so that my gifts may be expressed fully." I’m so glad I recorded that because I’ll need to write it down. I hope you’re enjoying this newly activated energy—it’s so fun, isn’t it? I’m really enjoying how lit up I feel. Oh, and I just weighed myself, which I never do, and I’ve lost 23 pounds in the last week and a half since starting this activation. Basically, I just started eating a lot of greens—broccoli, spinach, celery—a
