As a happiness coach, I talk with a lot of people who want to be happy, but they arent, and they think it is because of someone or something that needs to change.

It isn’t, tho - it’s because they’ve located themselves in a place of fear rather than love.

That’s always the problem.

When I look back at my own life I can see where my choice to side with fear made me see scarcity everywhere, stay in relationships, jobs and places I should have moved on from, kept me from letting go, and talked me out of taking the leaps that could lead me to the next awesome thing.

Fear made me believe I’d regret making a change, and convinced me that things wouldn’t work out because I couldn’t see how they could.

Fear allowed me to ignore and suppress what I knew in my heart was right. It caused me to see myself as a victim, and someone else as responsible for my happiness.

Fear talked me into abandoning myself, and to abdicate ownership for my choices and my experience.

A turning point for me came when I experienced the gift of the breakup of a long-term relationship.

I was in SOOOO much fear.

But when I finally got my spiritual balls together and looked at the situation honestly with my Guide, I
was able to see and take responsibility for the creative power of my own thoughts and how they resulted in my experience.

I was free to make the decision to no longer allow fear be the boss of me.

I packed my sh*t up and moved outta the Victim ‘Hood.

I began to consciously choose love, to see possibilities, and experience wonderful outcomes.

Life became full of crazy blessings, unforeseen opportunities, and endless synchronicities.

I could see Spirit’s handprints all over the elegant solutions and Divinely-timed answers that constantly showed up.

What I thought was heartbreak was actually the sound of my heart cracking open, making space for an unimaginable in-pouring of loving light that was meant to flow into and through me, out into the world and across the Universe – connecting me with everyone and everything that is for my highest good.

It has been nothing short of miraculous.

If you’re stuck, or something is calling you to step into it; if you’re staying in a situation that isn’t serving you, or you’re not living your purpose or embracing your passion – if you’re not happy and you’re blaming anyone or anything for it – you’re aligning yourself with fear and blocking the love that wants to take you where you really want to go.

Choose love. ❤️

My Love Posse,
Thank you all so very much for your outpouring of love in the passing of my sister Char. It has been incredible.

I know it probably seems so weird - and maybe incongruent or counterintuitive - to read my tribute to her and then see all these posts about a course I’m launching this week and live teachings that I’m doing.

It’s weird for me, too.

But Char was a huge cheerleader for me in my work as a spiritual educator. She told me more than once that she felt the torch of metaphysical teaching that our mom, Rosemary, carried until she made her transition in 1985 had been passed to me.

I have felt that too, but I am still honored beyond words by her saying it.

This course that I have created is the first one I’ve ever done. It has been in the making for a couple of years, and has felt like a baby to me.

The synchronicity of Char leaving the world on the same day I birthed my course into it felt so symbolic to me.

I thought a lot about stopping the launch…would it be in bad form? Seen as disrespectful? Would people judge me for it?

I asked for guidance about it, and I just kept getting the inner yes to keep going, so I did.

Char had a business as well - Tabitha Quilts - for decades - created after her first child, Tabbie, passed at age 20.

It was like her baby, too.

She invested a giant part of her heart, soul, time, energy, and money into that business - taking it on the road and traversing the country with it.

When I asked to be shown the way, I got absolute clarity that I was to go forward in the same spirit.
From one ending is birthed a new beginning.

Then, yesterday in my yoga class, I got the affirmation.

Char was with me in that class (possibly the only one she ever did.)

As this amazing song “Lift Me Up”by Rhianna played, the tears began. I kept moving through the poses, seeing her - beautiful, young, smiling at me… so happy and so free.

I cried through the whole class, I felt her presence so strongly right there with me the whole time.

At the end, during the last pose of shavasana, I closed my eyes and everything turned to brilliant violet purple (Char’s favorite color) light.

That has never happened to me before, and I knew it was her. I’ve never been so sure of anything. She’s in this with me all the way.
💜💜💜

Here’s the song / it’s from “Wakanda
Forever” and was written as a tribute to Chadwick Bozeman.

So, Merriam-Webster defines thanksgiving as: “1.The act of giving thanks; 2. A prayer expressing gratitude.”

If your gratitude practice thus far has consisted of holding hands and going around the dinner table saying what you’re thankful for once a year on the third Thursday of November, let's upgrade that sh*t.

Gratitude is a 24/7 mindset. It’s a way of living in the world, seeing the blessing in everything, looking for the gifts inherent in every experience, the opportunity for learning that exists in all that appears to transpire.
It’s an attitude, being thankful for whatever unfolds – knowing that it is all perfect.

There was a time in my life when I believed that all of my problems, challenges, struggles, and issues were someone else’s fault. That other people or situations (out of my control, of course) were responsible for my unhappiness. Parents, husbands, family members, friends, jobs, finances, lack of education, weight, hormones, blah blah blah whatEVER.

I thought that others had been set up for a better life, or been luckier, or maybe more deserving or had better karma – and I carried a sh*tload of resentment about that. It seemed like everyone else got to have happier relationships, or were better off financially, or had more fulfilling careers, or better bodies, or greater fill-in-the-f*ing blank than I did.

When I finally got what A Course in Miracles is really teaching about gratitude (aka forgiveness) my life became miraculous.

A Course in Miracles Workbook lesson 123 is
“I thank my father for His gifts to me.”

Forgiveness is the gift for which I am most grateful, because it has healed so many of my false perceptions and transformed my life to a place where it is almost unrecognizable to me.

True forgiveness returns us to sanity, seeing the innocence in the other person – our bro – so we can see it in ourselves. It reminds us that what is true is the perfection of God in each of us, and what is fake and illusory is anything else.

What the gift of forgiveness helped me to shift to was a place of gratitude for ALL of what I formerly judged as the bad or negative things in my life.

That actually, those challenges that I went through taught me things.

Those conflicted partnerships inspired me to heal parts of myself so that I could be ready for the peaceful and loving one I have now.

My former bosses and jobs called forth in me abilities and talents that I didn’t think I possessed, which ultimately gave me the confidence to become self-employed in my dream job.

Estrangement from loved ones motivated me to seek a better way, and find my way back to peace in all of my relationships.

Financial challenges lit a flame under my ass to become more responsible with money.

Whatever my parents were not able to give me I was meant to learn to provide to myself by being aligned with the abundance of God that is the truth of us all.

I could go on and on describing all of the ways in which the people and situations I used to blame and judge turned out to be companions and doorways leading to a life of greater love, peace, joy, abundance, fun, success, fulfilling work and lovely adventures than I could have ever imagined.

Instead, I’ll just say Thanksforgiving, God.

Happy Thanksgiving. I am so very grateful for your presence in my life.
I love you. 🧡
