The past week, we all collectively watched,

held our breath,

prayed,

spoke our minds with opinions of what’s right and wrong.

I feel, just as deeply as ever, that we are not at war with what’s right or wrong, good or bad/evil.

We are at war with what we are no longer willing to tolerate in the name of PEACE.

The horror is so unfathomable that I can not look at the news. Instead, I look to the closest people in my life who have taught me about the real horror of war through their o…

My life changed the moment I decided to stop playing victim and to start seeing how life is actually happening FOR me, even through the hard times.

Do you know what I am talking about?

Let me explain my story and then walk you through the possibility of how your story can change too, if you are ready.

MY STORY.

When I was a child I was very sensitive to the energies around me. I would feel my dad's mood shift and immediately he would take me down his rabbit hole of trauma which then contribu…

Hello dear one,

“Watch your thoughts, they become your words; watch your words, they become your actions; watch your actions, they become your habits; watch your habits, they become your character; watch your character, it becomes your destiny.”

In last week's podcast of nOMad's The Space in Between, I invited you into contemplating who you hang out with and how they represent who you are and who you are becoming. Here is a recap of questions to journal about on your own time.

Journaling is always best to do in a quiet space after you have dropped down into you body in some way. Some ways to do that are:

after a movement or yoga practice

after a warm bath or shower,

after a meditation practice,

You Are Your Own Magic 8 Ball

It is true.

You have all the answers you need within you.

Do you find yourself getting lost in looking for outside confirmation or answers?

Are you looking all around for for the signs from the universe?

You don't need a magic 8 ball or oracle cards to tell you what your heart wants to know (but they are good tools to use sometimes).

In this short practice, we dive into your heart....

RESTORE YOUR GRATITUDE

I felt called to go back to the archives of nOMad's Gratitude Practice (on my recently updated Youtube channel) to witness how perspectives change with experience, time, and knowledge.

And well, this message from six years ago is still the same...

Fear can get in our way, even when it comes to appreciating what we have.

If we have that abandonment wound, we can allow Fear to get in our ear about not becoming too attach…

We had dial up in our house in the early 80’s because my dad was a computer programmer for the Nature Conservancy. I always thought it was odd he worked in computers to “conserve nature”…

Dad would sit me down at the computer to play games test my typing skills (along with Frogger, of course). I resisted because I just wanted to dance and go outside to play with my friends. He told me that computers were the future and I had to be prepared. There was one time he said that (again) and I replied,…

Not everything is a tangible result.

This was a conversation we shared in our nOMad Guides group call last night. We were discussing the business side of things of being a guide, mentor, teacher, coach, or healer.

Money is a conversation a lot of us get hung up on in our western world, especially with inflation and all the uncertainties of our lives. If we are not aware, it can easily catapult us into the abyss of anxiously not knowing which leaves us grasping for some kind of security and saf…
