Here We Go…

Hello to all,

This is the first post, of the first blog, on the first website of my very first business. That is many firsts! I feel called to reach the greater world, through the medium of writing. I had a moment of inspiration about 9 months ago. I was travelling to Southern California with my family. I was sitting on a Southwest flight, my daughter slept on my body beneath my beautiful nursing poncho (shout out to Amma for making the best nursing ponchos!). I was reading The Witch of Portobello by Paulo Coelho, and what a beautiful book that is. As I read of his heroine and all of the magic she was creating in the world around her, I was struck by lightning. A vision came to me. I was shown a future where I would access the greater world, sharing my words, my wisdom and my opinions, which would ultimately lead me down a path of activism. The ideas I would share would be so strong and controversial at times, I wondered if I should write under an alias. The vision ended. There I was… back on this plane, with my beautiful daughter sleeping on my body, and my husband to my left, also sleeping peacefully.

I know you have also had a moment like this, or maybe many moments. These are magic. These are our intuition, our guides, our creator, speaking to us; and it is our duty to listen!

I was reminded of a Natal chart reading I had 18 months prior (with Lindsey at AllRiseAstrology - highly recommend!). I was told that I had been blessed in my life, however around my Saturn Return there would be more struggle, and afterwards I would be a figure in the public eye. At this point I may not feel so peaceful and amenable to everyone around me. She said I had a gift for sharing the collective unconscious in a way the conscious collective could digest. At the time, I just felt the fear and resistance to such a role, even though I knew that is where I would be, and where I wanted to be! And now I am in the depths of this transition. I feel it in every cell of my body. What was before will never be again. It was perfect, and where I am now is also perfect.

Beginning in May 2022, my professional career began to disappear before my eyes, along with any sense of financial security. Within these waters I found myself in such a feeling of crisis and chaos. I tightened everything around me. It may be the most stressed I’ve ever felt in my life. And there, amidst all of that distraction and a nervous system response which lasted for months, I had another lighting moment. I was told to start a Reiki business. A few weeks into the process, I had another vision through a dream - I would continue my work healing children and families - I would be the healer I have always been with Reiki as my medium. It is just the beginning! Starting my business was the easiest thing in the world. I am exactly where I am supposed to be. I listened. And as I write this post, I know this is yet again how my vision is supposed to unfold. I am here, I am ready for everything that follows. I am so wonderfully excited to see where we go!

Warmest wishes to you,
