This summer I took a class with my friend Jessica Colp, an amazing coach, guide and modern-day priestess. During one of the calls, she mentioned that a guiding belief of hers is “I know what I need to know when I need to know it.”

I had heard similar statements before but this time fireworks went off in my brain and my whole body lit up with a joyful “Yes!”

I know what I need to know when I need to know it.

It takes the pressure off. It allows me to trust even more deeply in myself, in my internal guidance system and in the messages I receive from the universe. It feels good.

I know what I need to know when I need to know it.

Try it on with me this week. I’d love to hear how it feels for you.

P.S. To those of you still waiting for your oracle card reading party favors, they’re coming soon. Thank you for your patience. You haven’t been forgotten!

You might want to be the one who trusts that love is on the way, even if you can’t see the lover yet.

Or maybe you want to be someone who wakes up feeling rested, healthy and full of energy.

You might want to be the woman who walks confidently into a room or the one who is able to donate monthly to her favorite cause, even if it’s only $5.

Ask yourself who you want to be today, this moment, this lifetime. Ask it often. And then see what choice it leads you to.

Sometimes you’ll be that person and make the aligned choice. Sometimes you’ll stay up too late playing Candy Crush or eat the bowl tub of ice cream or continue to stare at your smartphone when your child walks up, wanting your attention.

The more you ask – and answer – the question, the more time you spend living as the person you want to be (and already are inside).

And that, my lovelies,  feels really, really good.

P.S. Even if who you want to be feels impossibly far away from where you are now, making little choices in the right direction will pave the way for big shifts. And being in alignment with your dreams opens the door for life’s magic to support you. Play with me this week (or longer) and let me know what happens. I can’t wait to hear.

I can’t remember where I was first introduced to this idea of saying thank you and asking for more of what you’re grateful for, but my friend and mentor Limitless Megan recently reminded me of it.

I had so much fun with the virtual party this weekend. My heart is full from the beautiful stories and comments shared. Thank you so much to those who joined me and yes, more please. More community, more gifts to give, more stories that remind us how good people really are.

The trick of course is to use this mantra when life isn’t easy, when there’s heartache and hurt and struggle. Because who wants more of that? But it’s part of life, it’s how we grow and each time we are handed a challenge, I believe we are also handed an opportunity to turn it into something beautiful. Not right away necessarily, but the world is full of beauty that came from horror.

This week I’m with my family in my grandparents old home. They died over twenty years ago but much of the house is the same as when I was a little girl. The memories are thick and not all of them are easy but I am grateful to be here, to be with my parents, my brother, sister-in-law, adorable nieces and extended family I haven’t seen in years.

Thank you. More please.

I will be contacting the gift winners over the next day or two and announcing the names on the party posts. It will take me a while to get to everyone’s oracle card readings, so please be patient and trust that you’ll get exactly what you need, when you need it.

Thank you, again, for celebrating with me. (More please)
