If it doesn't feed your soul, let it go.


For years I've shared my stories about my trauma and challenges.

And how I did the inner work to heal, change my mindset, and

Change my ways.

Over the last 8 weeks or so, I've been feeling that something isn't quite right…

Something wasn't lining up.

I struggled with this -

Knowing I needed to change something.

But I've been writing about what I know,

Something I was familiar with writing about,

Something I felt I was pretty good at writing about,

Something I believe could really help people.

What would I write about now?

I realized that what I was writing was anchored in a lower vibe than what I operate at now.

That theme of writing had its time and was in alignment then,

but I'm not as enthusiastic about writing those old stories -

it feels diminishing to me, and

I know I could do better for you as well.

It may come as a shock, but it takes me a good 6-8 hours to produce one of my typical "Personal Letters".

And I want to spend as much time as possible doing what I really love,

what energizes me,

and lifts me up...

what I have sustained enthusiasm for,

while also being of the highest service possible that I can to others.

One of my mottos is -

If it doesn't feed your soul, let it go.

So I am taking a leap into the unknown and will be writing more about what's present for me now…

spiritual expansion and its delightful magic,

love, joy, peace, abundance, and

connecting to nature.

That's what's alive for me.

That's where the juice is.

It's a new mountain for me to climb.

I hope you'll come along.

The name of this "newsletter" will change as well to

"The Higher Purpose"

Because that's what this is for me,

And for those who feel they need help finding theirs,

Well... that's what I do.

If you're interested in talking about that, or you feel that intuitive nudge, just reply to this email.

May you be well and peaceful.

There is much love for you here.

They say you can tell a lot about your true self by what you loved as a child… Your heroes and favorite cartoons are one place to look. What were yours?

You never know what’s going to happen in life. If you aren’t being true to yourself, you may lose yourself entirely. You have no idea how far-reaching the consequences will be as they ripple out around you. Here’s my story: (First, I just want to say that I’ve processed and healed this. All is well with me. This story happened in 2010. And I'm going to tell you the bright side of how this contributed to transforming me and my life.) Photo by Patrick Tomasso on Unsplash I got a call from our...

I was told that as children we mold ourselves into who we need to be to gain the love and approval of one of our parents...maybe both of them. And I felt the truth of that. Photo by Sharon Waldron on Unsplash I discovered that I became a high achiever for my Dad because that’s what he praised me for. Me getting straight A’s in school was very important to him, and I usually got them. But it put me on this path of striving in order to be appreciated. My Mom introduced me to art at a young age....
