Authentic Directions

01/13/2026

This morning I found myself looking at my own FB feed. Have you ever done that? For me, I have both personal and professional pages. I looked at both today, and am filled with so much beautiful emotion that it's coming out of my eyeballs.

I want to repost all of them, each moment spectacular in itself.

Wishing to choose one - this is the one. It reminds me that one day, specifically November 17, 2021, I said this is my Authenticity Day. From this day forward, I live a life that is deeply connected with my Self.

That was a very bold statement.

It is now 4 years later. Wow, what a trip it has been. I can absolutely say that I am walking a path of authenticity. Creating, manifesting, being exactly who I wish to be. Living consciously. There is not one word worthy of describing this feeling.

It was a journey of emotions, for sure. Scary, frustrating, sad, happy, joyous, bottom of the barrel. And here I am, typing this, knowing I loved the journey and walk each step forward in curious engagement.

Every person's journey is YOUnique, of course, because we are all our own Selves. There are some things though, that I have learned through my studies, certifications, experiences working with others, and personal transformation, that work!!

This doesn't make me better than anyone and I don't have all the answers. I know each day brings me more to learn and the steps forward are sometimes backwards.

But if you are searching, and wanting the connection deep within to your SELF, your soul, your spirit. If you are having difficulty locating that path which you are seeking. If there has been so much trauma that you can't find your SELF. If it's just a feeling inside you simply don't want. Call me!! I truly, from the deepest part of me, want to share the processes I have, the knowledge I've gained, tools that work. My entire self comes to be with you. This is what I was created to do, to be, in this world.

I see you.

Your life, your way.

"I hear you call my name, and it feels like home" 🎶

Who sang as they read that? I see you my 80's friends! 👀. You're welcome for the ear worm.

For those that don't know, it's lyrics from Madonna's song 'Like a Prayer' 🙏 .

Quite appropo that my subconscious brought that song to my awareness as I prepare for a journey of prayer in living form. For 10 days I will be immersed in a grand adventure in deep connection with the sacred land, culture, people, of Peru.

My soul fired up inside me when it first read about this woman's adventure. Promising things like a Pachamama ceremony with an authentic Andean healer, and a hike on the Inca Trail leading through the Sun Gate, for a breathtaking view of Machu Picchu. Hello!!!! I don't even know what the Sun Gate is, but I gotta go!!! Dude-where do I sign up up???

Truth be told, I didn't sign up right away. For a year, all I did was talk about it. TBH, it was scary to me; but that has never stopped me before.

So I found my big girl panties, and casually mentioned it to my sister, wanting her to join me, not knowing if she would.

Lo and behold... she didn't even hesitate! That was inspiring! And we are going!!! Woot woot! Epic sister grand adventure!!

This is a massive roadway on my personal Jouney of Self Discovery. I LOVE people, and culture, and connection. It's what I do - remember, life coach here 👋!

I feel called to offer encouragement, support, inspiration, to every Being. S**t can be scary, but if it matters to you - if your soul, your spirit, your self, is calling - are you listening? Be brave and follow the lead. Answer the call.

"Life is a mystery
Everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home"
-Madonna

Stay Adventurous my friends!

Go ahead, eat the cookie!!

Starting a fresh new chapter is different for all of us. So what if.... instead of creating what might feel like pressure from a New Year's Resolution...you fell down into a whole lot of curiosity?

What would you find in the fall? What would swirl around in your mind as you went down the rabbit hole? Visualise all the things you have wondered about.

Grab one! Sit for awhile in a small room on a big chair, or in a big room on a little chair. Have a chat with the Rabbit, the Cheshire cat or perhaps the Mad Hatter.

Or go ask Alice... I think she'll know. 😉

It's your life, your way! Fall into the new year YOUR way. Follow your path, your Authentic Direction.

Stay Curious My Friends.

In theory, I get this. I am the author of my life. In reality, the thought comes and goes like an ocean breeze.

Yes, the steps I take are with great intention and my journey has brought me to the moment I am in now. That of beautiful connection to, and expression of, my Self. That is truly a triumph and so liberating.

But now ..... it's time to elevate that Lorraine. It's time to be brave, courageous, all fire like. It's time to let the embers flame. Burst outward what's inside. Be sparks that change the world 🌎.

🤔 well now. That's a great way to start the next chapter, don't you think?

I have always known I am destined to write a book. ✍️

Happy writing my friends. Make the next chapter a juicy one. 🍊

A new chapter doesn’t ask you to be perfect.

It asks you to be present, intentional, and honest about what you want to write next.
The pages are blank for a reason. This is your story. 📖✨

This idea got me from the get-go.

Coming up with 13 serious intentions took some inward thought. Then giving clarity to each one as I wrote them down really gave me pause to think, and even reconsider some.

Folding them up built excitement and as I began burning one at random each night - I realized I never wote any down to keep!! I was already getting foggy on some of them!

But that's ok I said to myself. The universe has my back on 12. That last one, that's the one I will place my focus on for 2026. And with each passing night grew the anticipation of what one it would be!!!

Tonight, the 13th night, it was revealed. Not the one I was thinking, or hoping would be - but the one I know is to be. Strangely, I feel so centered and ready for 2026.

If you have many thoughts about what your intentions are for 2026, try this out! And let me know if you do, I want to know! 😊.... and I want to share in your joy.

Whatever you wish of this new year, hold onto with magnificent intention. Manifest that s**t. - and so it is.

This morning, while watching the morning news, I was introduced to Misha Japanwala. She instantly evoked inspiration and adoration from me. I just have to share her with you!

As quoted from her website:

"Her practice is an insistence for bodies to occupy physical space, emphasizing the notion that our bodies shouldn’t need to prove anything other than being allowed to simply exist."

Her work, and what she emanates through her authenticity, is magnificent. With so much to love, i think the thing that reaches me the most is the healing experieneced between those that she molds and their relationship with their body.

Check her out!
