Grief can be incredibly difficult to deal with. When you are experiencing it during a happy holiday season, however, it’s especially rough. My good friend (and client) Susan Ways, has a beautiful podcast called Tendrils of Grief. She lost her beloved husband, Paul, to cancer three years ago, just before Christmas.
The first draft of my book is finished! I gotta tell you, she looks like I feel! At this point in time, it’s kinda meaty: 400 pages, 81,000 words! Say what?! (Yeah, it’ll need whittling down a bit.) This process of writing has unfolded in so many ways. The book
Anyone else feeling the effects of this Mercury Retrograde period? (And Mars Rx, and 3 other planets, I believe.) I have been feeling it so powerfully this time! For several weeks, I’ve been feeling lower than I’ve felt in a very long time. Discouraged. Frustrated. Tired. And it’s been affecting
As I write this, I’m scratching an itch: a no-see-’em bite on my hand. Living in South Florida, biting bugs are a part of life. Only at my old house, I never noticed them. At this house, I notice them all the time because I’m outside, especially at times when
With so much going on in the world, there is a common theme that seems to be emerging: I’m afraid to trust! Trusting is a biggie, isn’t it? Trusting that we’ll be ok, that our world will be ok, that life will be ok as we go through the process
It’s been almost two years since I said I wanted it. In September 2018, I rescued a draft horse from a kill pen and immediately realized that at some point in time, I was going to need a truck. Then we moved and got Raaja, our horse, in January 2019,
For maybe a month now, I’ve noticed something strange. I noticed that when I took in a big breath, it didn’t seem deep enough. I’d feel like I couldn’t get enough air. Sometimes when I would lay down at night, I’d feel like I just couldn’t breathe. So I’d
It’s Retrograde time. Not just Mercury, but Venus, as well. And we are in the middle of 3 eclipses. And a whole bunch of other astrological stuff that is putting the light on all kinds of shadows. Have you noticed? We are certainly seeing this play out globally, that’s
At the Divine Diamond retreat this year, we did something really fun. We created altars for our businesses. Now I’ve known about altars for years now and I’ve had altars, but they were rather general. I had never done a specific business altar but had thought about it. More recently, I’d been
This week, I had a long conversation with a woman about her business and money. And she realized that at the bottom of all the drama was the fact that she was afraid to ask for what she wanted. She was afraid to believe she could actually get it. And,
I was six years old the first time I witnessed racism. My little friends down the block were African American, and we loved playing together. Then one afternoon one of them was running down the street and another friend – a white boy – threw a dart into her back.
Confession time: once upon a time, I set an intention to write to you weekly: in an ezine, communicating ideas and celebrations and other cool stuff. It was called The Divine Biz Code. But that intention dropped off as I got busy with so many other things. And then I
My stepmother died this week. Tuesday, to be exact. I wish I could say I’ll miss her, but I won’t. I wish I could say I loved her, but I didn’t. I wish I could say she made our family better, but well, she didn’t. My stepmother had Borderline Personality
This year, we moved over the holidays. Seriously, on Christmas day, all you could hear in our house was some Christmas music and a bunch of grunting as we packed and moved boxes around our house. Then on New Year’s Eve, the time when I do my annual New
Years ago, I took a course called “The Forum” from Landmark Education. That course transformed my life. I learned so much! Like how to be a person of integrity by keeping my word, like how important it is to clean things up when you do break your word, and so
In February of this year, I awoke from a dream where I was told in no uncertain terms that if I wanted my dream home I could create it the way I had created my husband in my life. Thus began a profound journey of envisioning and exploration into what
I was 11 years old. My friend, Donna, invited me to her house one afternoon after school. She said “Some of my mom’s friends are in the basement. Want to come down to meet them?” “Sure!” I replied, and went downstairs with her. I went down into that dark, smoky room, where
The Divine Leap Last week, I shared about rescuing a horse from a kill pen in Pennsylvania (you can read about that on my website here: “This is for Black Beauty” if you missed it.) I completely forgot to post a photo of him in the email and many of you asked,
I have a new trick up my sleeve… An easy button! When you hit it, it says “That was easy!” Every time you think about getting a client, you can hit the button. “That was easy!” Every time you think about creating the money to be able to do things in your
As I write this, I’m sitting in my hotel room, an hour away from the beginning of a 3-day Divine Diamond retreat. I live here in South Florida, where we are having the retreat. I actually live about 8 miles away from the hotel. And I like sleeping in my
I was at an event a few years ago, and a woman went up to the mic to ask a question. The leader of the event said that the woman had attended other events but hadn’t ever chosen to invest money with the leader. She then said “You’ll never have
Have you ever felt like you just don’t wanna do something in your business? Or maybe you just don’t wanna pick up that phone to have that call with someone? Or you just don’t wanna send out that email? Yeah. Me, too. So, how do you
