One year sober 🎉

This time last year I was the most miserable I had ever been. This time last year I was lying to myself more than ever. This time last year I was trying to control and force everything in my life to work.

I woke up one day and realized I hadn’t accomplished any of the things I had dreamt about in over ten years. I woke up and realized how unhappy and exhausted I was, how disappointed in myself and my life I had become, and how I was drinking and using to cover up all that anger, sadness and guilt. I honestly didn’t want to be on this earth anymore, and I knew I had to make serious changes.

One year later; two new jobs, school on the way this fall, and a completely different attitude and outlook about life has lead me to finally feel comfortable in my own skin and happy with who I am and where I’m going. I’ve got a lot more work to do but I no longer want to escape it. I’m excited about the personal, educational, and spiritual growth and work I have ahead of me. I’m excited about life and that I get to live it. I no longer feel like I’m just waiting for the conditions to be right, then I’ll be happy. I’m happy, I’m joyful, I’m free. ❤️🙏🪽

Life on life’s terms. One day at a time.

Choose happy
My new mantra - choose happy - is a constant reminder that I can choose happiness every day, in every moment. It is a reminder to stay present, to ground down, to see the beauty in the present moment. A reminder to let go of control or the outcome or how things look. A reminder to just be.

It is also an invitation to continually choose to create a life that is full of happiness, and a life that will bring me happiness. Choosing how to spend my days more consciously, more present in each one. Choosing to go back to school and follow my hearts callings. Choosing to love myself deeper and deeper each day, which includes holding myself accountable for past mistakes and learning from each of them.
Choosing. And remembering I have a choice in how I feel. I can’t control most of the world, but I can choose to be happy. ☀️

Happy Summer Solstice! ✨☀️✨

I’m so grateful for summer! I’ve been taking in every chance to soak in the sunlight and warmth I can find, and my heart feels so full ❤️ sunlight is so good for your mind, body, and spirit ✨

Today is a day to celebrate the light 🕯️ the sun is seen as a masculine energy, providing warmth and nourishment ☀️ so honoring these sides of yourself and the world around you is a beautiful way to connect with the solstice energy! The solstice also represents the halfway point between spring and fall, meaning crops are starting to produce. This brings a nourishing and abundant energy to the day as well! This could also mean any other “seeds” you planted in the springtime are likely starting to produce results as well. This could be a career or relationship, project or goal that you began in the springtime. 🌱✨

A seed I planted in the spring was the desire to create spaces for community 🙏❤️ and this seed is beginning to bear the most beautiful fruit ✨❤️

Next Wednesday at 6 I’m hosting a Reiki Circle! Anyone attuned to Reiki or wanting to experience it for the first time is welcome to come join this free event! Message me for more info if you’d like to attend! ✨🙌❤️✨

I pray this Solstice has shown you abundance, nourishment, joy, and has filled you with light ✨☀️🕯️

You cannot force your heart to open ❤️

You can only gently ask it 🌬️

And wait for it to soften 🌸

Softening has been my medicine lately ~
How can I soften in each moment? How can I soften into my body? How can I soften deeper into my heart?

The answer lies in the question; as you cannot force yourself to soften. You simply have to surrender into it, with ease and grace for yourself and the moment 🕯️🌸🌱

I’m so excited to announce my next Reiki level 1 class! ✨🙌✨

Sunday, May 7th
10 am - 3 pm
$222 investment in yourself

Become you own Greatest Healer! In my experience, Reiki works best when you can do it for yourself. When you’re at work and about to loose it because of a customer or coworker, using Reiki can shift the energy of the whole day. When it’s 2 am and you can’t call me for a session, Reiki will be there to hold and soothe you.

It will guide you through the waves of emotion and pain, and deliver you to a place of peace and stillness 🙏

And this is how you preform Radical Soul Evolution ✨🌀🪶

Thriving in Chaos is a sign your Nervous System is Afraid of Stillness 🤍

This winter I have shown myself that I truly can have it all; I can be the caretaker, the partner, the hard worker, the teacher, and so many others all at once.

But do I truly want to? Or do I want simplicity, ease, and to just be myself?

But why then, does it feel so scary when I start to step back? When I lean into simplicity, why do I always sabotage it by manifesting something I think I can’t say no to?

Because simplicity and stillness doesn’t feel safe to my mind and body. My nervous system sees it as a trap, a way to get me to let my guard down. And if I sit with the stillness too long, who knows what might come up? I’ve learned to crave the chaos, because that’s what’s been the normal for so long.

So now, when I face stillness, it seems boring or unsafe. Like I’m missing something or wasting my time. But this isn’t true, or at least not a truth I want to hold anymore.

Stillness is where you find your true desires, your true self. Stillness is safe. Stillness and simplicity are where I can truly Thrive 🤍

What do you find in the stillness? 🕊️ What’s there that you’re afraid to sit with?

Sunday I lead my first Reiki Level 1 training class and it went beautifully 🥳🥰✨🙌✨🐉💎

Reiki is such a beautiful and powerful form of energy healing, and has been life changing for me, so it was a dream come true to get to spend most of the day discussing and teaching it! 🤍🕊

My students were amazing; extremely receptive to the information and energy, asked wonderful questions and above all listened to the calling they felt and showed up for themselves ✨🙌✨

I am especially proud and honored to be able to give an attunement to my wonderful partner, 🥳✨🕊❤️ not only was he there to support me in my first ever class like this, and frankly first event since 2020, but he was also there to learn! He genuinely wanted to know what I do in more detail, and by the end of it he had fallen in love with Reiki as well and wanted to get an attunement for himself!! 🥰🙌❤️🥳✨ I am beyond honored and thankful to get to spend this time with him, the intimacy we feel in our relationship expounded 10 times throughout the class 🥰💗⚡️

this event was extremely transformative not only for my students but for me as well ⚡️
I feel more than confident in this new teacher role and I only see doors opening from here on out ⚡️🕊🙌

my next class Will be in about a month! Stay tuned for more details ✨🙌✨

The greatest thing I realized in 2022 was that Everything is a Choice.
Every situation I’ve ever been in, I chose to be there.
Every emotion I’ve ever had, I’ve chosen to participate in it.
Every perspective and identity I’ve ever had, I chose to take those on.
Whether that choice was conscious or not, whether I was willing or not, I still chose it.

Now I’m not saying I’ve deserved everything I’ve experienced; I’ve been through some rough stuff that no one on earth deserves. But I experienced it because I chose it.

Once I realized this I felt so free, because on the other side of this is that I get to choose every situation, emotion, and experience I have. I GET to choose, I am not a Victim to my life, to the world.
When you take accountably for choosing to be where you are, the Victim mask becomes too small to fit anymore. You realize you can’t say “this happened to me, and there’s nothing I can do about it”
The only thing you can say is “I chose this, and if I don’t like it I can choose something else.”
