Are you living where you want to be living? Are you in your dream city? Are you having your dream life?

Follow Your Yes!
What have you been wanting to do for so long but have pushed away thinking it's not possible for you? Where have you been called to move to but have been scared to take the plunge? Where have you been hoping to travel to but thought it would be to complicated to make it happen? 

If any of that resonates with you, then you have been doubting yourself and the magic of the universe. 
You may get the glimmer of the Yes energy but then default back to the No. The No energy is the worry, doubt, shame, unworthiness, all those feelings and thoughts that aren't our true selves. Our true selves are the realization that we are already whole and complete in divine perfection. The Yes energy says you are worthy, you are peaceful, you are filled with positive possibility.

If you have been wanting to break free of where you are now, physically or emotionally. If you have been wanting to change from a place of improvement upon an already perfect self. If you don't subscribe to the notion that you are broken and need fixing, we could be good match. From that is the place upon which I coach others to move past any perceived block, to show them the perspective of their own positive possibilities. That perspective has lead me to live where I am now. Despite high cost of living, despite lows of having to move and come back. I've been in my dream city for three years now. Where do you want to be? 
What is your Yes?

Message me for the potential of work together, as I coach and guide you to your yes, your dream place, that is within and out.

It's almost Valentine's Day and you can tell when walking into any convince store. Rows of red heart shaped boxes and big stuffed animals are everywhere. Does it actually make you feel less lovey dovey and more uncomfortable?

If you are anything like me it does. Not just because I'm single but even while in relationships, I feel weird walking around the holiday area of stores. Because it's a forced fed version of what you are suppose to do and how you are suppose to feel around a certain time of the year; a holiday. These are the types of gifts we should get and give. It's a societal expectation we are meant to conform to in order to keep the norm going. It's normal to give a gift to someone you care about on Valentine's Day.

But why only on Valentine's Day? Why not give gifts to special people in your life on any day you feel inspired to. Rather then having to on a certain day.

And why can't one of those gifts be to yourself? Whether you are single or not the Valentine's holiday is a great time to practice self love. Try giving yourself a gift you have been wanting that will further your self love. I'm not talking about consceded ego centric self love, yet authentic self love. The kind of love you should have given to yourself a long while ago. That can come I the form of giving yourself permission to persue a new passion or career path. By allowing yourself not to give in to your pervious excuses of why you couldn't do it before and say yes to your yes.

I did just that in the start of this year. I became certified as a personal stylist. But before I even did that I reached out to a local established stylist to assist her on upcoming projects. The first one I helped her with was a photoshoot for the cover and feature in Santa Barbara Life and Style Magazine.

I finally got a chance to pick up the magazine and see my name listed twice as the stylist assistant. It was completely unexpected and unasked for. As I was simply allowing myself to try out my other passions and see where they could lead. Not bad for my first gig in the styling world.

There is magic in following your yes. My goal is to help others transform into their best self possible. Personal style transformations are a piece of what I offer a long the transformation path. Anything that I'm passionate about and that is inline with that goal is a yes for me. Following my passion purpose is self love for me.

What is self love for you? How will you be practicing that this season? Will you invest in yourself to pursue your passions?

Have you ever felt that there’s just not enough time in the day? Most often, when we run out of time for projects or pursuits, the reason is that we’ve spent a lot of time lost in ambiguity. 

When you’re supremely clear about where you’re going and what you want to do, there’s no time lost. Your actions are clear & precise, and you can make an AMAZING amount of progress in just a short period of time. 

Fortunately, it’s pretty easy to eliminate the time-management nightmare. 

1. Plan your work. 

Take a few moments to determine where you’re going and how you plan to get there. You don’t have to know all the steps or details; just write down the basic outline as you can see it.

1. Gather your resources. 
   

Get your tools in order. Make sure you have food & water and anything else you need to get started. What do you need to do this job right? Get it. 

1. Work your plan. 

Give yourself a deadline, then follow your outline step-by-step. If you get lost or distracted, come back to your outline and see what’s next. 

Before long you will have a finished product or project, and plenty of time to relax or do something else…like stare out the window for 20 minutes. 

What are YOU going to do TODAY? 

Have you ever felt that you had nothing to offer…no gifts to share whatsoever?

During spells of frustration or despair, it’s common to feel worthless. It can seem that everyone else is far more brilliant, beautiful & worthy of consideration. 

In times like these, take solace in the one thing that you can offer that no-one else can: your unique perspective. 

You see, nobody looks at the world the way that you do, nor thinks in exactly the same way. Once you start to engage your innate intelligence, be it simple and from the heart or complex and of the mind, your unique creativity begins to shine, and you become a beacon of brilliance. 

You may be sitting on the one solution that no-one else can imagine, or you may hold just the right words to bring comfort and understanding to a tense situation. You never know until you start to apply your mind, your perspective & your creativity to something outside of yourself. 

And sometimes, you don’t even need to EXPRESS your intelligence. Consider the CEO who sits with her team-leaders, intently listening to their ideas until brilliance is born. By simply sitting in active contemplation, you “magically” amplify the collective intelligence.

How will YOU influence the world TODAY?

Every day, people buy too much stuff, eat too much food, and waste away their hours chasing after happiness…to no avail. They may find excitement or satiation, but TRUE HAPPINESS still eludes them. 

Fortunately, happiness is really inexpensive and pretty simple to find, but that doesn’t mean that it comes easily. However, if you’re bold, and truly willing to commit to a few simple steps, happiness will be yours in just a short while. 

1. Quit Complaining. 

The first step to finding happiness is to stop trying to find what’s wrong with the world around you. There’s plenty to complain about, but if you focus all of your attention there, you’ll never see the good stuff. 

1. Choose To Live In Love. 
   

Falling in love with the world (and people) around you is a sure step toward happiness…and it’s easy. Simply accept people for who they are, and choose to see the good in them. Don’t expect it…CHOOSE it…then express it. 

1. Appreciate Everything. 
   

Start expressing your gratitude every day. If you’d like, keep a gratitude journal and write down at least 3 things you’re grateful for every morning. Before long, you’ll have more things to appreciate than you can count. 

Becoming happy may mean “looking like a fool” or changing A LOT of your current habits, but I promise you…it sure beats the alternative. 

What can YOU do to create more happiness in your life TODAY?

Over time, fear, exhaustion & shame can dim the brightest of lights, and that is why we must, at all times do what we can to keep that flame inside burning bright, choose the path of light and love, and allow our brilliance to be seen. 

Fortunately, there are plenty of tools that you can use to rekindle your spark every day, and here are just a few to help you out. 

1. Express your gratitude daily. 

Tell the people around you that you appreciate them. Give thanks for the food you eat and the roof that you sleep under. Smile. Gratitude magnifies your feelings of goodwill, helping you stay focused on the good stuff. 

1. Exercise often. 

Sweating and moving for just 20 minutes a day has been clinically shown to improve your mood & boost your health. Try a yoga class, ride your bike around town, or go for a swim, and you’ll easily chase away the grumps.

1. Meditate every morning. 

Spending time in silence reconnects you with your source of self-awareness, self-assuredness & happiness. It’s also been shown to greatly reduce stress & improve communication. 

What can YOU do to shine a little brighter TODAY?

What makes you happy? For me it is going out into nature and being around the ocean. Which is why I choose to live near the ocean and the mountains, I get best if both worlds.

But even when you know what makes you happy, do you do it?

Or do you let your excuses get the best of you, holding you back from doing that which most excites you? Do you play practical Polly, only allowing time to work on your projects? Or do you allow yourself to be refreshed by what lights you up?

I can tell you that I had been that person that only allows time to focus on productivity. That is a sure way to accomplish burn out, making yourself over worked and over stressed.

It's best to balance yourself with work and play to feel happy.

So I ask again. What makes you feel happy? Not accomplished or proud. But what rejuvenates your soul and makes you feel like a new you? Once you know, go do that!

Then let me know what you did in the comments below.

Because "Happiness is the truth."
