I had a wonderful coaching session this week with an Abundance Day client. In one session my client killed her Money Monster 3 TIMES before she really got rid of it. My job is to keep the process going until the monster is really gone. Each time I’d ask, “Is it gone?” she’d find a little bit of monster left. We’d follow that trail to find a deeper level and a truer monster. Until we found the core issue and killed the real life/love/money monster lurking behind the others. And then when she met her new, “Money Honey,” he was … Continue reading »

I just want to share some gratitude.   The first half of 2023 really sucked eggs. Lots of challenges, disappointments, and grief. Loved ones getting sick and dying (yeah no, the pandemic is far from over). Lots of anxiety like I haven’t felt in many years. Even money was feeling stuck.   At the lowest point I was hit with three deaths in one week, the anniversaries of 3 more significant deaths, and my cat almost died. And I received a surprise $5K extra tax bill, and over $7K in vet bills for my cat. (He made it!)     … Continue reading »

This week’s invasion of Ukraine feels very personal. My family came from Odessa, Ukraine. My great grandmother was there during the revolt of the battleship Potemkin, and she witnessed the birth of the Russian revolution. She packed up the family and left Odessa, Ukraine for Shanghai a century ago. They purchased train tickets… but the train engine took off and left all the cars behind! After almost a year of walking and hitching rides across Asia, my great grandmother gave surprise birth to my grandmother when the family arrived in Shanghai. She was so ragged and starved from the journey … Continue reading »

What is the hardest experience you’ve ever overcome in your life? I would LOVE to read your experience in the comments below. I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately,… the INCREDIBLE resilience and resourcefulness of human beings. The UNBELIEVABLE experiences we overcome. The unexpected treasures on the other side of our hardest experiences. Especially when circumstances look challenging today, it’s so helpful to remember where we’ve been and what we’ve successfully survived before now. I posted on my Facebook profile page and asked, “What is the hardest life experience you’ve ever overcome?”  I’ve been awed and humbled by the … Continue reading »

First Lady Michelle Obama said, “I’m exhausted by a heartbreak that never seems to stop.” I imagine you’re feeling this way too. BLACK LIVES MATTER. I know you know this. But even good human beings get things wrong. Guaranteed. We have to keep trying to do right, listen for feedback, apologize and adjust and do better. Myself included. Over and over again. That’s life. That’s how we evolve. I came across this great video: “5 Tips For Being an Ally.” It’s quick, easy, friendly, and only 3 and a half minutes:   Blessings to you,

The traumas of 2020 may be triggering PTSD responses right now. Here are tools to help you ground yourself and return to center: Morgana’s Feel Better Grab Bag Moving to your favorite music. Singing. Anything that has to do with music. Gardening, especially weeding. Growing food. Tapping. Scents that make you happy. Pulling oracle cards  (I like a three card spread: 1)What do I need to know about this situation? 2) What should I do? 3) What is the outcome?) Yoga. Sunshine. Magnesium and CBD oil at night, for better sleep. Lion’s Mane mushrooms for brain health and mood. Animals … Continue reading »

     I had a really nice chat with my deceased dad today. Now I’m all choked up and grateful. Some context: One year ago today my father released his long suffering body. I had received a message in a dream a few weeks earlier and changed my plans in order to fly across the country and see him before leaving to lead my retreat in Bali. It was clear to me from that visit that he no longer benefited from being in a body. I told him I loved him, and it was okay for him to leave. I … Continue reading »
