As a resident of Western North Carolina, 40 minutes east of Asheville in the greater Old Fort area, I appreciate the tremendous outpouring of concern and support for me personally and all affected by Hurricane Helene in the region. Here is a recap of my thoughts/emotions over the last two weeks as it may strike a chord with how you are feeling and provide some support. Also I have provided some good local donation options if you are interested.
My First Reaction...How Does This Affect Me?
When this first hit, I was unaware of the severity and was preoccupied with my personal circumstances. I was scheduled to fly out of Asheville to Boulder on Friday, September 27 for a Gene Keys seminar that I had booked 3 months prior. I actually thought that I might ...

Fighting never leads to peace
Neutrality seems contrary to some of the things we have heard all of our lives, like we have to "fight evil" or "wage a war" on drugs. We take a position that we think is right. In fact, who would take a stand not thinking it was right? This begs the question of how we can all be right when opinions are in direct opposition with others? Belief systems, most of them inherited by our family, continue on unchecked until we get an opportunity to question/deeply examine them from a fresh perspective. As some of the great sages have said, when we are “against” something it just creates the same negative force in our own lives. Countless times rebels have fought established governments for freedom, and when they successfully overthrow the dictator, they become a different version of the same...

The title of this blog, inspired by the Black Eyed Peas 2003 song, seems more relevant than ever right now. Remember the chorus?
People killin', people dyin'
Children hurtin', hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach?
And would you turn the other cheek?
Father, father, father, help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questioning
Where is the love?
As I look around the world at large, it is a fair question. However, no matter what the collective conscious (or more aptly the collective unconscious) is creating, you can tune your antenna to a different station and dramatically affect the world by elevating your consciousness. What I keep realizing is that attitude is the key (see poem below). For every event that happens in our life, we have the power to reframe it in it’s highest light. Doing this also re-progams your subconscious so you don’t...

It has been a long time since I have reached out! My summer was packed full of traveling, from short getaways to see family, to an international adventure to experience an ancient site. (See pics and info on the Bosnian Pyramids here). One roadtrip included my high school reunion. A highlight of that trip involved visiting my high school in Charleston Il. The tour was complete when we were able to sit in our old Driver's Ed simulators (picture below). Yes, they still had the same ones!
On the way to the reunion, I was drawn to visit places my ancestors lived. These experiences included looking up old addresses and finding run down homes in place of the well-kept photographic images from 50 or more years ago...

I am sure you have heard the saying, “history repeats itself, or at least it rhymes”. There may be a good reason for this. As I have postulated before, we are co-creating our reality through our consciousness, like through a projector, but most of this projection comes from our subconscious. These programs, much like software code, were laid down primarily during the first 7 years of life, through absorbing the energy signature of our family. They were also coded during conception from our ancestors DNA, epigenetically, according to Bruce Lipton, Phd. History is repeating itself because we are re-living the same programs as our ancestors, thus playing a movie, or record album, in our current setting with a similar theme.

Recently I was reminded of the book, The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein. This heartwarming children’s book actually is a pretty dynamic portrayal of codependency. Psychology Today describes codependency as follows:
Codependency is a dysfunctional relationship dynamic where one person assumes the role of “the giver,” sacrificing their own needs and well-being for the sake of the other, “the taker.” The bond in question doesn’t have to be romantic; it can occur just as easily between parent and child, friends, and family members. - Psychology Today
The term “codependency” first appeared in substance abuse circles to describe a lopsided relationship that has been consumed and controlled by...

Are you consistently saying yes to things you want to say no to? Or, are you not even sure how you feel and auto pilot takes over? Well…your body knows. A “no” feels like constriction and may be accompanied by shallow breathing. You will probably feel a vague sense of unease when you are in the situation or just thinking about it.
What is showing up for me right now is the importance of boundaries and self love. This theme has been presenting itself over the last several months in different variations. It seems I am being tested in diplomatically walking the tight rope between honoring self and meeting the needs of others.

More and more, I am seeing life like a metaphor. We play out on this stage, in the material world, experiences our soul needs to return “home” and find wholeness. Just like our bodies are always communicating with us, so are our daily life experiences and interpersonal relationships.
Here is a story that happened to me recently:
I went to our Property Association Office (POA) to pick up some packages. I often leave the car running and just jump out and get the packages. However, this time when I returned, I was shocked to find out that I was locked out of my car… with it running. My purse and phone were...

Are we currently living in a blended reality, one organic/natural, and the other synthetic/artificial? I assert that we are. When I think of natural vs. artificial, the idea of organic sugar compared artificial sweetener comes to mind. One comes from the earth and the natural order of things, and one is created in a lab, like the robot above. I have recently come to realize that there is a part of us that is organic, connected to prime creator and nature’s intelligence system. This part of us is full of life and is founded upon unconditional love, purity, freedom and creation. There is also a part of us attached to the false matrix and AI.

If you are reading this blog, you have most likely been there…flat out exhausted caring for others before tending to your own needs. This may be caring for children, elderly parents, clients or friends before taking care of yourself. Somehow being a martyr was promoted as a good thing. Unfortunately, all martyrdom does is get you out of the sync with the natural energetic laws of the universe.

Why I decided to discard all objects with Metatron’s Cube and the “Flower of Life” Symbols
Most of you are probably familiar with Metatron’s Cube and the “Flower of Life”. These symbols are all over yoga studios, new age crystal shops and materials that say that they support ascension… but do they really? Have we really stopped to understand what these symbols represent?
