Hello beautifuls! Welcome back.

This is the last group of my favorite things that I have to give away. (I feel a little like Oprah saying that, which I could totally get used to. Grin.) If you’ve already attended and know the scoop, scroll down to see today’s giveaways.

If you’re joining us for the first time, here’s what you need to know:

1. Gifts!
Thursday, Friday and Saturday there will be separate blog posts with different giveaways and new ways to win. Be sure to comment on each post if you want a chance to win that day’s items. Don’t worry if you miss a day because I won’t choose winners until after midnight PST on Sunday.

2. Discounts!
Because I know some of you have been curious but aren’t quiiiiiiiite sure what an energy or space clearing entails, I’ve got specials happening all weekend.

Ready to let go of what’s dragging you down and head into fall feeling lighter and brighter? Pay for a Fresh Start Thursday through Sunday and get 20% off!
Curious about what a space clearing can do for you and your business or family? Schedule your 15-minute Space Clearing consultation* Thursday through Sunday and IF you decide to hire me to clear your space, you’ll get 20% off that too!

*Special note: This is a free, no-pressure consult. I’m not into convincing you to do something you don’t want to do. That just feels yucky. And you don’t need to talk with me this weekend, you just need to reserve your time for us to talk in the next few weeks.

3. Party Favors!
EVERYONE who comments on any of the three posts will get a short Oracle card reading from me as thank you for showing up. This isn’t going to predict your future or tell you what to do next, but it will give you something to think about, meditate on, or provide insight into a current situation in your life. Plus it’ll be fun!

Okay – now for today’s awesomeness!

I’ve amassed a small collection of Liz’s gorgeous jewelry. When I wear them, I feel supported, understood, held and so not alone. This beautiful necklace is a reminder that you ARE on your path, even when the way seems dim. The winner will choose one of the following teardrop gemstones: a purple amethyst for peace and inner strength or a green fluorite for self-love or a deep blue iolite for connection to spiritual growth and curiosity.

I also have a growing collection of Super Love Tees high vibe shirts. Theresa hand screens inspired quotes and sayings on comfy, eco-friendly shirts. I had a hard time deciding which one to choose for this giveaway because they’re all so great. This one has a loose fit (they only go up to a size large) and makes me smile every time I read it.

I wish I had a better photo of my friend Trisha’s gorgeous pottery necklaces (last minute planning on my part – oops!) She makes them in lovely shades of blues, greens, pinks, muted browns and cream. You can practically hear the ocean when you put one on. I’ll choose a necklace specifically for the winner and I guarantee it will be beautiful!

For your chance to win one of today’s gifts, leave a comment below sharing an act of kindness received that deeply impacted your life. Then I’d love it if you could walk into this next week intending to pay it forward in some way.

Thank you all so much for celebrating with me! You’re amazing and I love you.

P.S. Whenever I think of an act of kindness that touched my  heart, I remember the two labor and delivery nurses who took care of me during my ER visits before Ben was stillborn. Several weeks after he died, they left a beautiful hibiscus plant and card at my door. Every time I see the orange blooms I think of their warm, concerned attention and their little gesture that meant so much.

UPDATE: Today’s winners are…
On Your Path necklace – Amy
Be Your Own Hero t-shirt – Sorrow
Seaweed pottery necklace – Sheila

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 thank you thank you for celebrating with me. Deep bow to all of you.

Okay – now for today’s giveaways!

Kristin Noelle of Trust Tending is a dear friend and a kindred soul. Her art always makes me breathe more deeply and helps me pause in the midst of my day to soak in the truth of her image and words. Blessings is ten days of trust-nourishing, heart-opening art delivered right to your inbox. I’ve got two of these to give away.

Sat Nishan Kaur has been a huge gift in my life. Her Reiki treatments helped me through the last weeks of my pregnancy with Ben and the healing afterward. She’s an incredible Kundalini yoga teacher and I’ve been taking classes with her for over 3 years now. She’s also a beautiful singer and musician. This CD of songs and chants has accompanied me through many of life’s ups and downs. We even had Sat Nishan and her husband perform her song Hallelujah at the celebration on the first anniversary of Ben’s death. This music has the power to heal the soul.

Elizabeth Reynolds of Lux Amare is a Master Aromatherapist and all around magician with essential oils. I’ve used her Luxury Skin Care Oil on my face for three years now and my skin has never been healthier or had more glow. (And even though I thought my oily skin would react horribly to an oil cleanser, it’s been the complete opposite – I have fewer breakouts than I’ve had since hitting puberty). I’ve used all her Chakra oils and I adore her Wellness blends. I’m giving away her uplifting Inspiration blend along with a trial size of the Luxury Skin Care Oil. So yummy.

For your chance to win one of today’s gifts, leave a comment below sharing one (or more) blessings in your life, or a particular way you feel loved, held or blessed.

Okay – now for the gifts!

Today’s giveaways are….(imagine a drum roll here):

 

I love Lori Portka’s work. Her mission to spread happiness through art makes me, well…happy. What better way to remind yourself (or someone you love) how beautiful and worthy they are than with these gorgeous flags?

Taking Vivienne McMaster’s Be Your Own Beloved class helped change the way I see myself and certainly changed my relationship with the camera. Beloved Beginnings is her gentle introduction to seeing yourself with love by taking self-portraits. This is an on-demand e-course that’s ready and waiting for you.

A Calliope Woman (a.k.a Audrey) is a beautiful mama at my daughter’s school. She pours so much love into her products and has a huge fan club in Ventura. A group of us were at the beach last week and I kept hearing people ask, “Have you put your Audrey-sunscreen on yet?” This gift includes a Love and Light Sunscreen, Herbal Healing Salve, Arnica Massage Pain Relief Rub and a trial size of her Dream Oil Temple Rub.

To enter, leave a comment below and share something you’re celebrating, something you’re grateful for, or tell me a little about someone you’re remembering right now. Entries close at midnight Pacific Standard Time on Sunday August 3rd.

For any men out there who are feeling that these gifts are weighted toward women, I invite you to enter for lots of reasons, not the least of which is that I have a special gift that will be included should you win.

UPDATE: the gift winners are…
I Am prayer flags – Roos
Beloved Beginnings e-course – Heather
A Calliope Woman gift bag – Lisa D.

It will take me a little while to get all of your oracle card readings done. Please be patient and trust that you’ll get exactly what you need at exactly the right moment.

Thank you again for playing with me. My heart is full.

It could be a nap, a shower, a green smoothie or some chocolate. You might want a hand to hold or a good cry. Maybe it’s to read a book or call someone you love. It might be something you can’t have or don’t know how to get.

You don’t have to act on the answer. Just listen, acknowledge, then choose.

Tomorrow is the 4th anniversary of Benjamin’s stillbirth. I’m asking myself this question a lot as I feel into the tenderness of this time.

I have a lot I want to do today and I also feel the need for quiet, for space. That’s what I want most right now.

I also want to put the finishing touches on the party I’m having here on the blog this weekend. I wouldn’t be the person I am, doing this work I love so much, if Benjamin hadn’t died. As I honor him this week, I also feel a deep need to celebrate all that’s changed in the last four years because of the grief his death brought.

I hope you’ll join me, starting this Thursday July 31st, for a little virtual celebration. There will be giveaways, discounts and party favors. It’ll be fun and easy because what I really want is for it to feel good.

Come in your pj’s, your beach wear or your fanciest hat & bring your own kombucha.

P.S. If you’re on my newsletter list you’ll know that my dream is to have a space where one day I can have this party and invite you all in person. I want to look in your eyes and hear you tell your story and feed you delicious food. If you’re not on my newsletter list, you can sign up in the right-hand sidebar and I’ll send you a little reminder on Thursday, so you don’t miss out on the gifts!
