I’m sorry.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
I Love you.
While I was raised Catholic, I do not adhere to any one religion. My NDE gave me confirmation in the understanding that all religions are right and all are wrong and it really doesn’t matter which one a person practices or believes in, what matters is Love.
When life is going along and we’re happy with how it’s going along and we go about our days in a sort of comfortable space where we stop at Starbucks in the morning before work and go to our job, have pleasant conversation with those around us, work and go home again, then repeat.
Then, something switches. We start to become less happy with how things are going along. We find things to be unhappy about. The barista didn’t make your latte like they usually do. The people at work are starting to bore you. Work itself is more of a chore than a maybe more-than-a-little-pleasant thing to do for 8 hours a day. Something has changed.
You can’t put your finger on it, so you go along for a while, just continuing to do the same day over and over, until it hits you. You want something different for yourself.
You want to feel more. You want to do more. You want to wake up in the morning and be excited about living.
Stick around. I’ll write more about this. In the meantime, start exploring what it is you desire to experience in this life and how you might go about actually doing it!
Much Aloha!

In our recent move to the Hawaiian island of Maui, I’ve had some interesting things about myself come to light. Like, I hadn’t realized how much familiar surroundings and routine meant to me. Not that I had a super specific routine in my life before, but what surrounded me was familiar. Things around me had their place and I knew where to find them. My “stuff” was all around me. There was a comfort in just feeling the energy of my home, my neighborhood, my town. All of that has changed.
Moving 4500 miles away from where I lived for 22 years was more of a challenge than I anticipated. Although I’d chosen it, I’d planned it, I’d hyped it up to my husband, I found myself in moments of fear. I wasn’t completely sure if picking up my life and moving to the middle of the Pacific Ocean was such a great idea. I longed for home and the comforts of it. I wanted to see the same landscape out my window I’d seen every day for so long. I wanted to go to the grocery store and have the people working there nod hello because they knew my face.
Then, I watched the sunset on our wedding anniversary and a sea turtle swam by. Not only did it swim by, but it lifted its head out of the water and looked straight at us! Another swam directly underneath me two days later. We watched giant waves crash on ancient lava rocks and felt the energy of nature. We stood on a forest path amongst trees that had been there since indigenous Hawaiians lived on the land and it was still theirs.
I’ve been here 13 days and I’m already transforming. I’m moving toward who I came here to be. I’m becoming more, and I couldn’t be more grateful or more sure that yes, this was the right decision.
Much Aloha! xox
While it has a satisfying, somewhat cleansing appeal, the process of doing it makes me feel just a little bit ill. Granted, we don’t have a lot of material things, as I’ve made a conscious effort over the last 10-15 years to not gather together random bits of insignificant material objects. The process of sorting through what we do have and prioritizing keeping vs giving away is what makes me slightly nauseated.
That is, if I sit and think about it.
Stepping back and considering the process from a “feeling” point of view, not one that involves conscious thought but conscious feeling, I am eased into a much better state of vibration where I can focus on what I want. I want to keep things that have meaning to me and bring me joy when I look at them, when I hold them in my hands, when I remember where I got it and the circumstances around acquiring it. I want to cherish the feelings. I want to pass along those few special, memorable, good-feeling-provoking things that will also bring joy and meaning to my daughters.
It’s never just about me and what I want.
So, the minute nausea I feel at the idea of tackling the closets today is eased to near nonexistence, simply by reframing my thoughts and adjusting my vibration and focus. Love how life can be so simple!
Much Love to you today!

Something occurred to me as I was cleaning out a closet yesterday…
While I have this little blog, I post sporadically and when I’m really inspired to do so. I don’t post when I’m not inspired, so I’m sharing things with a pure energy of connection to everyone. Months ago, when our plans for moving to the Hawaiian islands began to really take shape, I thought about sharing my/our journey here (Ainsley, my husband, is a big part of it too!) but only wanted to if it was about the journey, the deeper aspects of the “why’s” for our decision to leave our home and family here. For Ainsley, it’s about moving even further away from his in the UK. There’s a depth to all that goes into making the decision to go, and the ultimate reasons are universally felt by many of us at different points in our lives.
In a nutshell, I feel like it’s important to talk about all of it, so as maybe to inspire someone else who is on the fence about embarking on their life’s next Big Adventure. I’d LOVE to have a video blog but am not great at editing and neither is my husband lol. We’ll see if we can work on that…
Watch this space!
Love to you all and a very Happy, Healthy New Year!!

I was staring out the window at the English countryside as my husband laid his head back on the seat, his eyes closed. We were southbound on a London train, heading to Heathrow to catch our flight home. The conductor had just finished his announcements and in the midst of the surrounding light chatter of passengers, I heard a voice come through the loudspeakers.
“It’s time.”
The voice was a loud whisper of a male, but one I didn’t recognize. I quickly turned my gaze from the scenery to my husband sitting next to me. His eyes were still closed and his head still resting on the seat. I glanced around at the other passengers who were still talking amongst themselves, undisturbed and unaffected by what I had just heard.
Did I really hear that?
Yes. Undoubtedly. It was there, coming from the train loudspeakers to my ears. I had not been thinking about anything in particular at the time, just feeling relaxed and enjoying the sight of rolling green hills of the countryside.
So, what did it mean? This human voice speaking two words, a statement which implied action on my part. What action? Which action? I wondered this, amazed at what I’d just experienced.
The thing is, this wasn’t the first time I’d had an unexplained-in-human-terms experience, yet, I felt like it was! So many emotions ran through me…elation, joy, excitement, confusion, doubt, confirmation, etc. What was it time for??
It wasn’t until we had arrived home and I recovered from jet lag that I understood. It was time. Period. Time to live. Time to be, do, have all my heart knew was right for me, true for me, good for me. It’s time for this to manifest in the greater world. For all of us to be, do and have all we desire. The highest vibrational manifestation of this is Love. It’s time to Love.
Much Love to you all!

Aloha, friends!
Just a gentle reminder to be present and in awareness of how you are feeling. Sit for a few seconds and feel your body. Where are you?
Are you in a state of being that feels good? Your cells will tell you if you’re not sure. Listen. Focus your attention on them.
If needed, shift your energy a little bit by focusing on something that feels good and sense how your body shifts with you. Practice this every day.
Much Love!

One thing that I find myself doing on a daily basis, sometimes hourly basis…sometimes minute by minute, is choosing to Live. That’s with a capital “L”. It’s so easy to move through my day, weeks, month going through the motions of life rather than really living them.
What do I mean by that?
I mean: When my husband stops me in the hallway for a hug and and a kiss, I stop myself, both physically and mentally, bringing myself into that moment and being fully Present. I get to experience him/us in a way I could not had I continued on with the thoughts and the forward momentum of my day. I get to appreciate that moment we shared, which is then stored as a memory in every cell of my body…a memory of Love.
I mean: When I’m doing various tasks throughout the day, paying attention to where my thoughts are, where my attention lies. Focusing on enjoyment of the process of life in that moment. If it’s something I usually find tedious or don’t like doing, easing into an energetic space of gratitude for simply being physically able to do it. Simple, isn’t it?
I mean: When faced with challenges which would potentially cause emotional pain, stepping into a Loving space where I am willing to walk through the fear, the unknown, with the overarching energy that all is always well and I have the ability to shift myself into a better feeling place any time I desire to, and that if I have created a situation which feels less than good, I can create something that feels better too.
We are NEVER victims of our circumstances. We have created them, along with the Universe, for a purpose sometimes greater than what we may presently comprehend or feel. Setting judgement of those circumstances aside and simply Loving eases everything. Awareness of our participation in the creation and of our power to create something better. Willingness to move forward in Love. Patience for the better-feeling situation we are intending to manifest. Faith that it will. Compassion for ourselves and others. Understanding our Miraculous, Spiritual nature and how, as Creative beings, we get to design the life we desire then Lovingly going about designing it from that moment forward. This is Life!
Love to you all! xox
