A New Season
Hello Beautiful Soul,
 
After taking an extended season of being intentionally quiet, I know that this October is time for me to re-emerge from the lovely cave where I retreat when my heart and soul are craving solace and clarity.
 
Solace that helps my body and my mind come into harmony with my inner truth and knowing. 
 
Clarity that is often accompanied by honest and transparent introspection, as well as a traverse through the sometimes-thorny field of internal and personal growth. 
 
Tables Turning
 
I began writing this letter while visiting my grandparents in the same home I have been coming to since I was four or five years old.  
 
My grandfather recently turned 99 and I feel a bit nostalgic as I am acutely aware how the circle of life has brought a shift.  
 
Now I am a witness to the humility and grace with which my grandparents receive from me - whom they once held in their arms. 
 
Honoring Purpose
 
This is all so fitting since recently I have been reflecting more deeply on why I am here and what is it that I want to share while I am still breathing on this planet. 
 
Of course, I invite you to do the same…

QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER

Three questions to help put our attention inward. 
My responses are below. Please take the time to consider your own.
 
What brings light to your days and warmth to your heart? 
 
The colors across the Colorado sky both delight me and fill me with awe.  They are a welcomed treat as I watch the early morning darkness yield to a new palate that urges me to recognize the gift and opportunity to make space for a  new hope and gratitude.
 
The beauty surges through me like an infusion of encouragement to trust and keep breathing.  
 
What causes your eyebrows to furrow or your patience to wane?
 
News of war, death, starvation makes me wonder what kind of legacy we are leaving to the next generation. Political vitriol makes me wish kindergartners could teach a master global class on how to follow The Golden Rule (do unto others as you would have done unto you). 
 
What would you most like to see or experience in this world?
 
Compassion.  Consciousness.  Healing.

Within your answers (above)
 is your answer 
 - or at least the seed.  
 
Your being here is anything but random.  
 
Purpose is alive and pulsating through you whether or not you recognize it.  
 
My hope is that you recognize it. 
 
And honor it. 
 
Here's to all that this new season is unfolding for us.  
 
Through us.
 
  With us. 
 

ON THE HORIZON
I am close to wrapping up the final draft of my first book and I want to share a taste. 
CLICK BELOW FOR A TASTE
 
The working title for my book is Remembering Coming Home
 
It is a combination of fiction interwoven with memoir and mystical storytelling. If you would like to read a little bit more on the topic of True Belonging, click below.
 
Sharing even this small part feels a little like walking naked in public (which I am okay never doing).  It also keeps me accountable to finish editing my final draft.  

OCTOBER ANNOUNCEMENTS

Have you been feeling the turbulence all around us?
Lunar eclipse and solar eclipse.
Hurricanes, drought and forest fires.
Wars and destruction.
And an upcoming U.S. presidential election.
 
Based on my conversations with clients, friends and family, I want to offer an infusion of nourishment, calm, and even hope. Most of all, I want us to remember that no matter what happens around us, there is always a way for us to connect and come home to peace, presence and power.

PODCAST LAUNCHING SOON!
I started this newsletter saying that I am coming out of my cave. That means that I am taking the leap and diving into preparing to launch a podcast.  
 
Let me know if you would like to be a guest and talk with me about any of these three topics:
  • What it means to connect to your inner knowing
  • What you would tell your younger self
  • What life is teaching you in this season
 

QUOTES FOR THE JOURNEY

I am often inspired by reading quotes and I text them to my family.  After several years of sending them almost daily, it was difficult finding fresh ones.  My husband encouraged me to share ones that come from my inner heart.  
Enjoy. 
 
“The truth is that we are not mere humans, we are powerful spirit uniquely expressed in this existence.”
 
“We could decide now.  We could take a lifetime. Trusting the divine light and grace within us.  It's a choice and a practice.”
 
“When we look around it is possible to forget.  When we look within, we remember:  our name is truth, light, abundance, wisdom, grace, harmony, peace, joy, faith, forgiveness, integrity, brilliance, favor, hope, radiance and love. Let's remember."
 
"Our answers are always found when we look and listen deeply within."
 
“We connect to the truth of who we are in moments of stillness.  In moments of nature.  And in the quiet pause between the inhale and the exhale.”

Remember to BREATHE.
 
Peace, Love and Light,
