Whitney Houston’s Passing and Your Life

Last Sat we experienced the death of Whitney Houston, which brought up lots of grief for me, even though I’ve been clean and sober for 20 years.

Looking at young Whitney, so fresh with such a gift – and to see how she threw herself away brought back memories of the damage I did to myself in my 20s and 30s.

It is tragic how we can hurt ourselves and our loved ones.

Drugs and alcohol create separation, cloud the spirit, and kill the body. Please don’t go there. Denial is deadly – don’t throw yourself away. You are a treasure, you are worthy and your presence is important. You don’t know how you may bless others in the future with your life. I’m praying for your awakening. Please send this to anyone you love who needs to receive this message. ♥

Now think about yourself. Drugs/alcohol may not be your problem, but are you disrespecting your natural gifts in other ways? Do you have talents that you’re hiding or withholding from others?

Your gifts were given for you to share with others. So often in astrology readings I see gifts that are not expressed because the person thinks what they have/do isn’t special or good enough. No, no, no! Not true!

The object isn’t perfection or competition – it’s about expression, contribution, sharing, and connecting with others via your unique talent. You don’t know who needs to experience your creation/expression.

If only you knew how beautiful you are, you wouldn’t be hiding your gifts or diminishing yourself. Allow others to appreciate you and celebrate your offering. Don’t go through life judging yourself negatively, withholding and wondering what it might have been like to step fully into your Self to be seen and heard.

You are here now – and even if you’ve denied yourself in the past, you can change your life today by making a new decision and choosing a new path. It’s never too late to begin again!

You can find meaning in every experience, which allows you to turn tragedy into triumph. Let Whitney’s death be a wake-up call for you to honor yourself.

By the way – anything you’re good at is a gift. Don’t ever judge it as no big deal. If it’s no big deal to you, that’s because you’re good at it!

You are important and you have no idea who may need what you do. I’m rooting for you, always!

Higher Self or Wounded Self Decisions?

I’m preparing to fly home to NYC today after meeting with my coach and  Platinum Mastermind group for the last few days.

It feels very energizing and centering to have a plan for 2012 – one that was created for my expanded, BIG Self, rather than my limited, doubtful self.

That’s the beauty of having a coach or mentor, i.e., one who holds a space of truth and vision for you that’s greater than what you see for yourself in the moment. Then you get practical guidance to implement the plan.

So this is a good time to check in with yourself. Are you making decisions from your Higher Self or are you making “low self-esteem/Wounded Self” decisions?

Those low self-esteem/wounded self decisions will keep you small until you’re ready to take a leap and move to the next level – if ever.

Seriously, are you short-changing yourself because you fear you’re not worthy or that no one will want you or what you offer? If so, you need new input – and a new mirror!

I so recommend that you get support for whatever it is you’re trying to accomplish and it all begins with shifting your beliefs about yourself and your value.

If you follow me, you know how I feel about that. Here’s my belief:
You are the essence of pure goodness. Your goodness has nothing to do with your actions or the actions of anyone else.

Yes, it’s true.

And if you don’t know that deep inside, I would love to help you shift that.

If you allow others to treat you as less than wonderful, I would really love to help you shift that.

If you treat yourself as less than the precious gift that you are,  I highly recommend that you work with me asap!

My new program, The Miracle of Transformation, was created to share foundational teachings with you that will change your life, from wherever you are today, onward.

You are missing a huge opportunity if you allow the ego’s fear to overrule your Higher Self’s call.

Go Where It’s Warm…

Welcome to the energy of Scorpio, ruler of issues that involve upheaval, power, transformation, and all things hidden – which can be unsettling, as you feel out of control when it’s happening to you.

If you are having an uncomfortable experience, I suggest that you give yourself as much space as possible for self-care. What do you do to take care of yourself when you’re feeling off-balance, upset, fearful, or down?

When you need care and attention I invite you to “go where it’s warm.” In those moments you need a soft place to fall, and I hope that you have people in your life who are there for you, willing to listen with compassion, especially when you  need support.

This guidance may seem like a no-brainer, but you’d be surprised to know how many people make the wrong choices when they need comfort and care by reaching out to those who can’t or don’t give them what they need.

The effects of not getting your needs met when seeking comfort can create an additional hurt on top of the initial one. It can also validate an old belief that nobody is there for you, leaving you feeling alone and unsupported – and very sad

When you continue to go to people who can’t or don’t give you want you need it’s like going to the hardware store for oranges. Don’t do it! If the dynamic isn’t working for you, don’t go there!

Please understand that current people/circumstances in your life can only trigger wounds that are already there – current situations do not create the wounds. They just reinforce them.

Also, be mindful that just because someone cares about you it doesn’t mean that they can help you, so ask for compassionate listening, not necessarily advice. When receiving advice, always consider the source.

You discern what is right for you in any given moment. If you make a choice that doesn’t work for you, don’t “bad dog” yourself – make another choice!

Keep going, because you are important and worth every ounce of effort it takes to be in alignment for your Highest Good. Now, more than ever, what we (and the world) need is more love and compassion.

“When a person’s thoughts are connected to Divine wisdom, even the simplest of actions become holy.” ~ The Baal Shem Tov

Check your growth

I’ve just returned from my Platinum Mastermind group in Asheville, NC.

It was a poignant conclusion to a transformative year, not only for me, but for all of my sisters in spirit!

I look back at where I was one year ago and marvel at my growth, both internally and externally.

As you know, your external life is just an outpicturing of what’s happening within you.

And how did this growth happen? By allowing others “in” to offer me new ways of operating and by taking baby steps – one new step at a time.

If you aren’t happy with where you are – or if you feel like your life is out of alignment with your authentic self, then I urge you to take some kind of action to course correct now.

I have been working at healing for a very long time – and believe me, I had a lot to heal! And I continue to evolve by pursuing my next steps all the time, personally and professionally.

Which leads me to an important question when it comes to personal growth and transformation – are you teachable?

• Are you open to considering/trying new ways of doing things?

• Do you do everything yourself – without outside help? (If so, why?)

• Do you often feel misunderstood or different, feeling like nobody “gets” you?

• Do you trust yourself to recognize the right and perfect teachers/methodologies/modalities for you?

These are just a few inquiries that you can make to see if you’re truly open to allowing help, new information and guidance in.

You cannot stay in your comfort zone and transform your life. All growth requires some emotional risk – and as I frequently remind you, you are SO worth it!

There is still time to register if you’d like to go with me as my student to the Avatar International Course in Orlando, FL from Oct 29th-Nov 6th.

This is the profound consciousness training that dramatically changed my life a few years ago (and continues to!) – and anyone can do it.

Steve Jobs and letting go…

I’m off to Asheville, NC, to my Platinum Mastermind group with my sisters (affectionately named “The Glitter Girls” by our own Dr. Starla Fitch). This will be our last time together as this group and because we’re so bonded, the meeting is bittersweet for me.

I always feel endings – and I allow myself to fully experience the melancholy I feel when letting go of “what is” in order to open to what’s next. I have such deep love and gratitude for the inspiration and safety I feel with these women who have supported and enabled my growth in 2011, along with coach extraordinaire, Christine Kane. It is profound what a container of love, encouragement and belonging can incubate, combined with good orderly direction.

Speaking of loss, I feel deep sadness at the passing of Steve Jobs for various reasons. For one, I wonder what creations he could have manifested in the future that died with him. Steve Jobs We have so few successful creators who model a high level of being and who will not bend to social pressure. I so appreciate his conviction, his courage, his genius – and his commitment to his vision that others didn’t always see.

Steve Jobs and I were born on the same day – at different times, so we have different astrological charts and very different lives, but we also have much in common. That’s another reason I feel sad about his passing; I feel a deep understanding of his life setup on a soul level.

I have had my share of loss in life and because healing is my business – and because I have Steve Jobs’ chart – I can’t help but wonder if he could have avoided or healed his pancreatic cancer by healing the issue(s) that created it. I think there’s a possibility that he didn’t have to die. I can’t help it – this is my belief. I don’t mean to sound arrogant like I know better, but it’s my intuitive feeling that he didn’t have to go now – or maybe it’s my little girl wish – that I didn’t want him to go.

For those of you who are still here, please be willing to heal the issues that create discomfort and pain in your life. You are so worth it and you can shift your life experience now. I know, I’ve done it – and I keep going in my process. Please make good use of all the wonder that surrounds you!

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” ~ Steve Jobs
