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)

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.

To enter Thursday’s giveaways, click here. For Friday’s, click here. And to enter today’s drawing stay on this page and comment below.

Remember you have until Sunday night at midnight PST to enter. Winners will be emailed early next week and announced here on the blog Monday or Tuesday.

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.
