  • Living in the now

    Where you are right now...

    At the end of the day, there is no better place than where you are right now.

    There are times we have to let down our guard and allow ourselves to surrender to the present moment.

    Sure, you can be frustrated by the timing, but you could also let the time in between act as a catalyst for growth.

    In the now...

    After all, when we’re born, we’re in the present. There is no past, only what is unfolding right before your eyes.

    As we get older, we learn about dimensions of time beyond the present.

    We remember our past.

    We hope and plan for the future.

    We lose sight of our true selves until we return home into the here and now.

    We don’t find our true self in the dreams we yearn for or the fantasy of tomorrow or the memory of yesterday.

    We find it here.

    In the now.

  • Life is tough but so are you

    Life is tough but so are you

    When you ask the universe to go to the next level, don’t be surprised when it feels like life is too hard, almost unbearable at times.

    Your strength resides deep within you, even when it doesn’t feel like it.

    The universe would never give you anything you couldn’t handle.

    Life is tough but so are you.

    Stepping into your power

    What you can take out of this all, is that if you’re seeking spiritual breakthroughs, you can expect a clearing to make space for new growth.

    When you ask the universe to go to the next level, don’t be surprised if people leave your life and tell you that you’ve changed (like that’s a bad thing! It’s in your nature to evolve and transform, not to stay the same).

    When you ask the universe to go to the next level, don’t be surprised when it feels like your heart is bursting open at the seams and your soul is shaking.

    You’ll experience the rise of emotions you’ve hidden or repressed, and they’ll leave you trembling and questioning everything.

    During this time, you are collapsing old stories and stepping into your power. 💥

  • The future is coming

    The future is coming

    It’s only natural that when you evolve, your life will too.

    You’ll experience the ebbs and flows, the highs and lows.

    When life falls apart, know that the future is coming…

    So enjoy the ride and know that one day you’ll look back knowing that everything wasn’t falling apart but falling together.

    Embracing the nature of life

    What would life be without change? The same. Stagnant. Boring.

    Often breakdowns lead to breakthroughs. That doesn’t make it easy nor does it feel fair. That is life in itself. It’s not ‘good’ or ‘bad,’ nor is it ‘fair’ or ‘unfair’ because it just is.

    May we embrace the nature of life as we do of the ocean waves.

    Let us learn to surf and ride the waves, to make the most of what they are 🌊

  • Life is precious and so are you

    You are a miracle

    The chances of you being born are 1 in 400,000,000,000,000 – 1 in 400 trillion.

    The odds of winning the lottery are 1 in 3000,000,000 – 1 in 300 million.

    You truly are a living breathing miracle.

    Smell the flowers.

    Dance in the rain.

    Make mistakes.

    Take the leap.

    Follow your heart.

    Life is precious and so are you

    The odds of being born in this lifetime are slim, yet here you are.

    Have your heart broken. Eat the burger. Feel the pain. Start your own business. Get on the plane. Quit the job. Kiss the stranger. Tell them you love them. Be excited over the little things. Spend the money. Go on the date. Feel the fear and do it anyway. Make your dreams happen. Follow your heart. Life is so damn precious and so are you.

  • Better days are coming

    Better days are coming

    Some days in life will be harder than others and that’s okay. 

    Some days will feel heaver than others and that’s okay.

    Some days you’ll be convinced that the pain and suffering you feel will last forever.

    It won’t.

    Better days are coming, beautiful soul.

    They always do.

    It may take time, but it’s always worth the wait.

    The light will trickle in.

    Your heart will mend piece by piece.

    You’ll remember why you loved life so much in the first place.

    To be truly alive...

    When the darkness within seems like it will take over.

    It’s when we truly break, that we are cracked open for the light to come in.

    Love.

    Light.

    That is what it means to truly live.

    To be truly alive.

  • Let your light shine

    Shine bright, beautiful soul

    Some people will not see you not because you don’t shine but because they do not want to acknowledge your light.

    For others you will be too bright and that’s okay.

    They will find your light blinding and would rather you dull to a small flicker instead of being the sun that you are.

    Shine bright, beautiful soul.

    Your light will glow...

    Never let another’s darkness impact your light 🌟

    It doesn’t matter if you don’t receive applause or validation, what you are doing by being yourself and contributing to this world is important.

    Your light will glow and others will want to harness and cultivate their own because of you 🕯️

  • Let it go and let it flow

    Follow the pulls of your soul

    Let it go and let it flow…

    Life is a rollercoaster...

    Let go and flow with the stream of life.

    Listen to the rhythm of your heartbeat.

    Follow the pulls of your soul.

    Release your fears and doubts, child of the universe.

    The stars and angels support you.

    When the world is dark, your inner light shines bright.

    Life is a rollercoaster of experiences and emotions driven by the highest of highs and the lowest of lows.

    It can be excruciating to feel so deeply.

    Heartache and pain contrast liberation and ecstasy.

    From a spiritual point of view, your soul chose to get on this ride. I suggest this perspective to you as I do with my clients, ‘How does it feel to go through life knowing your soul chose this curriculum for your personal growth?’

    To grow.

    To expand.

    Your soul is hungry for experiences and emotions that nudge you into alignment.

    The depth of the darkness and shadows you feel also open the limitless love and joy you can feel.

    Enjoy the ride 🎢

  • Mourning the past you

    You are allowed to change

    As you work on yourself and reach the next level in your growth, don’t be surprised if you feel joy and sadness at the same time.

    As we evolve and let go of our past self, we mourn who we were.

    It’s normal to grieve over the past you, yet still grow into who you are now.

    You are allowed to change.

    Your identity isn't fixed

    The past you that put up with bad behaviour, that gave so much without return, that always needed something or someone to feel complete, that was blind to what was unfolding before your eyes, that self- sabotaged and the past you that deserved better not only from yourself but those around you.

    It’s normal to grieve over the past you and to love the past you, yet still grow into who you are now. You are allowed to change; your identity isn’t fixed.

  • Thank your past self

    Thank your past self

    In this lifetime, we will mourn and hold funerals for all the versions of ourselves that we’ve been.

    You aren’t who you were in the past anymore.

    You are who you are now, here, in this present moment.

    Thank your past self for helping you survive.

    Thank your past self for being strong and enduring pain.

    Thank your past self for being brave.

    The Great Unlearning...

    Thank your past self for getting back up and continuing to try.

    Thank your past self for making you who you are today.

    Thank your past self for making mistakes which you’ve learned from.

    Thank your past self for letting you move forward.

    Thank your past self because even if they no longer resonate or align with who you are today… you couldn’t have done it without your past self.

  • You are the light

    You are the power...

    Tell me, beautiful soul, are you exhausted from carrying all those labels and stories that have defined who you are?

    You are not your trauma.

    You are not your illness.

    What you’ve been through is valid.

    No matter how bad someone else has it, no matter what anyone else says, no matter what anyone else thinks, no matter who believes you, you are resilience beaming through.

    You are the bravery that roars.

    You are the wisdom books can’t contain.

    You are the light that continues to shine.

    You are the power beyond measure.

    Shine on

    People may be jealous of your light, but they won’t be jealous of your journey through darkness.

    Never let another’s darkness impact your light.

    Some people will not see you not because you don’t shine, but because they do not want to acknowledge your light.

    For some your light will be too bright and that’s okay.

    Shine on ✨
