"Maybe the journey isn't so much about becoming anything. Maybe it's about un-becoming everything that isn't really you, so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place". ~ Paulo Coelho

Dear Embodied Hearts and Dancing Souls,
As the page turns on the month, I find myself giving myself some spacious time to breathe, and feel into the frequencies of tender seeds and sprouts planted last month.
A lovely young woman is helping me with my website. When she initially selected some images to pull together my brand, I had to let her know, “No, I am not a white women running on the beach in swirly fabric person. I am a chunky boots meets inner child healing person.” Am I right? 🧚🏾 👢
This is not an article on the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene. Different type of flood.
A Platform Story. Y’all it happened again. I don’t know how many of you saw that the way I met my Aunt Jane was at an Amtrak station where the train we were waiting for was 2 hours late. We sat right next to each and chatted our way into each other’s life for 25 more years. Last week, I chose to follow a whim in my heart and booked a round trip train ride to NJ to spend time with my sister. Interstitial visiting at best since we were both work. Still, a nice homey change. From the time we left the house for the return trip, it started raining. By the time I got on the platform, it was windy and rainy. I sat on a bench, in long sleeves and no jacket, and felt OK since the train was 15 minutes away.
Fifteen minutes later, everything happens quite fast. I receive a text saying the train is delayed by 20 minutes. Another Amtrak arrives 5 minutes later. I step to the door asking to upgrade my ticket to board this train, an Acela. A firm no. I sit back down. I watch the warm people in the train pull away from the track with some misery. 🚄 Now it is rainy, windy and cold. 🌧️
Someone new sits on the bench, a striking young woman who turns her head to tell me I could have upgraded using their app. I like her vibe immediately. Her boots, her colors, her vibrant tattoos, and ai yai yai, her top with geometric cuts and short sleeves, no jacket. We begin to chat. I offer her my handy dandy shawl–so light I always travel with it. She wraps it around her shoulders. Another woman comes to our bench. A regal older woman. She wants to know how long we are delayed. And poor thing, she would like hot tea but there is no place to do so. ☕
And then like clockwork, the magic begins. The 20 minute delay becomes 30 minutes, then 40. We all chat, building on connections with one another. I tell them my Aunt Jane story. Then it hits me. What if I wrote stories of all the interactions resulting from Amtrak train delays?! We all laugh imagining me pitching this to their marketing people. (An astute one would get it, I think.) Ultimately we wait 51 minutes together. The younger woman gives me my shawl back. The older woman gives me her information asking me to get in touch with her about my training programs for her school. I buy us both a cup of tea on the train as soon as I find a seat.
On fire. September ended with me drinking out of a fire hose (in a good way). I worked on a demanding application with a tight deadline. Amidst this massive load, came the flow of 2 client coaching calls. I felt on Fire on these calls, just being Me, Alive each moment. (Or as my husband says, en fleek). 🐉
It was the culmination of the shift I’ve experienced the whole month. In this shift, I released approaching myself with uncertainty. Instead, I got humble to the realization that I am constantly Guided and Supported. From here, I simply pressed the gas. And the information came flooding in. Still I chose the pace I wanted to follow this deluge. My response—the energetics of it, is unique to Me. This is more than “trust.” Its being Alive, actively responding to signals I pick up.
Responding to what I notice — instantly, no thinking — is an act of Aliveness.
This happened in each coaching session. Trusting myself completely, I go with the flow of the invisible frequencies I hear under their speech. I ask questions which opens their awareness in a certain direction. We dive into their Body Wisdom, finding the next opening. 🏄 Its like surfing into wider and wider possibilities, all while I help the person remain attuned – mind, body, heart and soul – to the truth of their multi-dimensional matrix. I have SO MUCH FUN.
Marrying your physical and your meta-physical keeps you conntect to the truth of your multi-dimensional matrix.
They received exactly the balm they needed and the opening that felt most right for their next aligned action. Each moment, I felt such an alive conduit and channel. 🌟
When You Know. September became this gift of no longer wondering what to know or when I might know it. I didn’t chase anything. Instead, I simply assumed that I am being given exactly the information I need. This opened up my central channel, making me alert and focused like I have not experienced before.
Its not If You Know You Know (IYKYK ), but When: WYKYK.
Know and then Act. I woke up knowing my priorities, choosing how to organize my time and energy and then enjoying the heck out of myself. I found a way out of the habit of using pressure and fear to produce. It was an adventurous way of following my light. And wow, did I leave alot of wonderful outcomes in my wake.
Guiding You Every Step of the Way. Like this, You are always connected. Your Higher Self and other spirit guides are always waiting to come “on-line” for you. Are you letting them? Are you giving them the green light? I love opening this channel for you in an authentic way. Is there something you want guidance on? Come, let’s ride the waves together — 🧜♀️ 🐬, schedule a Coaching call with me. Rates are based on the number of sessions (see next page for Fall specials). Experience your kindest, most magical truth.
I intentionally connect with your higher self before each session.
The day after, an image of one of my coaching playmates comes to my awareness. She stood in a pale mint green raincoat with matching boots and a colorful umbrella. The look on her face was precious. Since these specifics were relevant to her session, I message her about it. And Guess What?!?…she tells me she does indeed have a pale mint green raincoat. ☔🥼 Such is the true bounty of your existence.
Stay #heartwoke.

I also loved the line, "I am a chunky boots meeting my inner child" kind of person. This piece is all about connecting -those inner, between, among us type of connections.
Love the aliveness in this. I feel my own aliveness in reading it. Thank you for sharing your truth and wisdom!
