The Art of Imperfection
This is a great little article that perfectly demonstrates finding value and gratitude for all things, and encourages being present. It goes along with how I always say everything is “perfect in its imperfection”.

Thank you to my dear friend and amazing photographer Pedro Gutierrez of Gamma Photography Studio for sharing it. He thought it would go along with my philosophy of life and he was right. š
Sharing My Gratitude Before We Head Off
Just a quick little gratitude post for this day – a long time in the making, but so well worth the patience for perfect alignment.
We are off in just a few hours here to kick off the journey.
Although we’re only headed to Malibu for now (where we’ll be for a week), just shifting our location will be a huge energy game changer, and since we’re in the wake of the New Moon, it’s just all feeling divinely guided for the new beginnings.
There’s been so many wonderful signs, messages, and gifts leading up to this in the past year, but also including just this week and these last couple of days.
These recent things included:
- Enjoying amazing sunrises yesterday and today to see us off
- Tons of cleansing downpours of rain to refresh and release
- An earthquake to shake things up
- Wild lightning and thunder to dramatically shift and rock things like “The Tower” card in Tarot
- Waking up to check on the bunnies a couple of nights ago and the clock read 11:11 the moment we came together
- A cool dream where a docile and tender falcon was letting me pet and play with him on the ground then he jumped on my shoulder softly for a while before flying off on a gate where a bunch of other birds of all varieties met him and they peered down at me while I was in an outdoor setting of trees and plants, which mirrored the Nine of Pentacles card in Tarot where she has a falcon on her, she’s in solitude, in her element, and enjoying the abundance of the garden of life around her – super awesome
- Coming home to the current rv park last night to be greeted by 5 wild rabbits on the New Moon. This mirrored being greeted by the one rabbit when we first came to live in this park, which was also on a new moon. And since 5 is my favorite and lucky number, and is connected to Nestor, as well as symbolic of big change and surprises, I’m even more excited and grateful right now

It has definitely felt like a wonderful conspiring of support right up until the end here.
I can’t express how happy I am that this is all coming together.
And I also want to express my deepest gratitude for everything that has made it possible, for the wonderful and growth-inducing experiences we have been able to have while living here, for all of the amazing friends and clients I/we’ve shared a lot with here and had the opportunity and honor to see go through their own shifts, for the wonderful house that supported it all for us, for the garden that enchanted our lives and added another layer of enrichment for me, for all of my friends from the other realms here that have been a huge support, for the challenges, heartaches, and endings that provided the potentials for change that were embraced, and for all of the inspiration and guidance received while experiencing it all.
I am grateful for what life here has provided…the hard, the easy, and then some.
There have been some pretty major changes that have happened while living here…some of the biggest.
And as always, there’s more to come.
Thank you for sharing this journey of life with me.
Thoughts & Reminders Before Heading Out 7/9 – 7/12 ~ Last Chance Opportunities Through August 31st
Many things to celebrate these days. Perhaps for many of you too, from what I am hearing and feeling. So much is coming to fruition for many and a deepening of happiness experienced because of your dedicated work.
Today not only have I shared the happy news about Joy and Cosmo, but I am feeling Gaia in my heart strongly, as it would have been our 7 year anniversary together.
I miss your strong physical presence Gaia, but am grateful for your continued love and support you surround me and Terra with. Thank you for your committed service and responsible compassion you share.
I’m also celebrating some personal milestones of transformation and renewal taking place. How about you? Are you feeling this to be a rich opportunistic time period in your life where things are, or are about to flourish?
I’m experiencing a very creatively fertile time period where everything keeps shifting daily, there are no end results seen, and only each moment to paint as I desire. I can feel how much things are going to change over the course of the next 4 – 6 months and right now I’m anchoring in my authentic reflection of what that feels like to me. I’m also enjoying a shift of focus in my life and drawing upon my true nature more and more, by welcoming in things I’ve been desiring for a long time, and also declaring my personal essence, without worry about how that may feel to others.
Even though at times things seem on stand-still, I know that everything is aligning and percolating to unleash itself and that’s because I keep moving forward with conviction to my truth and action to support that. I feel that is key if you want to manifest things, along with making sure you are acting consistently on all levels of emotion, thought, belief, and action.
As I take moments to have gratitude and share honor for these special things I recognize in my life, I hope it is a reminder to each of you to do the same in your own lives. We often don’t acknowledge how far we’ve come, give ourselves loving encouragement, or take time to cherish each of the treasures, both hidden and obvious in our lives.

Tomorrow I head out to British Columbia to immerse in the land there, the farmhouse, and the beautiful energy of Hillary’s horses, and will be away through Sunday the 12th. I feel this will be a very potent activation of energy in all of the lives whom are coming together for this, including myself.
I’m very much looking forward to this long awaited journey that has gone through many transformations and shifts of its own. I’m also excited to connect with Hillary, the owner of Epona Rise Retreat Centre, finally in person.
Our extended four-day retreat has morphed into a mini two-day retreat, due to personal matters that evolved in Hillary’s life. Amazingly, we were able to still create the space and we have shifted into more of a private, intimate experience that will be shared by a beautiful, small gathering of women sharing the energy of this time and space. This will include Reiki training, time with the horses and Hillary, and sacred intentional work that organically flows with the energy, as it always does.
I’ve been away so much this year for both personal and work journeys, but this marks the last trip for now (at least that I have planned). This has made things quite full in my schedule and along with energetic processes being more deep, has extended the length of time needed for a lot of my work recently.

Here are a few reminders, as I prepare to head out tomorrow:
- I have availability for just one more tattoo design client between now and August 31st. If you’d like to have a sacred design created with me and need it before December, this is the last opportunity I can provide before I take my 3 month sabbatical. If you’re not in a rush and can wait until the end of the year or beginning of 2016, then you can still place a deposit here: Sacred Tattoo Designs and be scheduled in for then, even while I’m away. I thank you again to all current clients for your patience, as I’m running a couple weeks behind due to more time needed on designs and my being away. I also haven’t had time to post designs, so intend to share a montage of some of them soon, together.
- I have availability for one more person to receive spiritual and energy guidance during a five-week intensive before August 31st. The last possible day to schedule is the week of July 26th for this, otherwise if you can wait until I return, we can look into scheduling you in then. Here is information on that: One-On-One Support
- I have two, last Reiki workshop opportunities remaining for locals or anyone in the area, or wanting to travel here. There is an upcoming private Reiki 3 Master Teacher workshop that’s been opened to others on Tuesday, July 28th. You’re welcome to join if you’ve already received your Reiki 1 & 2 certification either by myself or another teacher, or if you’d like to come for free review, if you’ve already gone through this training with me. There is also an upcoming private Reiki 1 & 2 workshop that’s been opened to others on Sunday, August 16th. Otherwise, you are welcome to schedule a private workshop, but it must be scheduled before September 1st, at which time i’ll be on sabbatical for 3 months. Payment plans available.

Gratitude & Asking for Help ~ My Dream Team Behind the Magick
One of the ultimate spiritual lessons is life is gratitude. Gratitude for all the big AND little things…the seen AND unseen…the full gamut of experiences released from judgment and categorized value.
Recently my design work has increased in the amount of time and energy that is involved, as the people I am working with are going through tremendous life-changing shifts, and have gone through a huge amount of challenges to get there.
I’ve had to take more time with each, as well as down time in between, with the occasional breaks to recharge during the process.
So, I am immensely grateful for my rabbit companions that simply ARE the best little personal assistants one could ask for.
They remind me that I DON’T have to do it all by myself and that they are there to help…I simply need to ask.
And so I have.
Each time I sit down to do any project, prepare for teaching, or have a challenging task ahead, I ask them if they would like to help, sharing that I could really use their expertise.
And each time, they are right there to do so. I can’t tell you what a difference it DOES make, as things go so much quicker, the ideas flow more, the process becomes lighter and joyous, and the results are always great.
We make a good team, and it goes to show you that alone you can do great, but with others aligned with you, you can do wonders.
There are many times I didn’t know how I’d do something and with their assistance, support, guidance, and connection, the channels became more clear and magick happened.
Joy has always been such an awesome little assistant, but Cosmo has jumped aboard the team now too and is extra equipped with his Reiki training from Joy.
He loves when I sit on the floor to do the work I’m able to do there with him by my side, which is usually my elaborate note taking, reviewing notes, channeling ideas, etc.
He lays still, loving the occasional caress in between thoughts, but supports me the whole way.
And sometimes Joy will do her work in conjunction with us, from a few feet away, elsewhere in my office, or she comes up behind him and gets in the action a bit closer.
And every time I thank them and acknowledge their gifts and contributions, I am encouraging and supporting them into their power, as well as reflecting the same resides within me.
“Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.” Ā ~Voltaire
I cherish them for the way they help to lighten the load for me, as I do my all to do for them too.
“No one who achieves success does so without acknowledging the help of others. The wise and confident acknowledge this help with gratitude.” Ā ~Author Unknown
Gratitude for All
It was such a sweet surprise when my friend Jayn shared with me this little creation that included a gorgeous photo of hers and the addition of a quote from me she resonated with from one of my posts.
And this morning, as I was thinking about this day of gratitude that people will be celebrating, it reminded me that gratitude isn’t just something to extend toward the so-called “good” things in life, but to ALL things – relinquishing the need to define, categorize, idealize, cast away, and judge them. That includes the “imperfect” that IS perfect and richly integral in our lives.
Today and always may you embrace the kind of gratitude that creates magick.
Live Your Dreams Now
Life is fleeting…a blink of an eye…yet many of us keep pushing off the things in life we know in our hearts we would love to experience AND came here to experience.
Tomorrow is no guarantee, but you do have this moment.
Express the things you’ve wanted to share with others, do something courageous toward your dreams, experience something new you haven’t, and savor what you do have.
It may make all the difference and begin to write a new chapter that begins the first day you really start living.Ā 
I Am Grateful
…..for the creative free will as extensions of Source that we are to experience any and all experiences we so choose, as well as the opportunity to know ourselves through parts of ourselves embodied in each other and everything around us, to be flickers of the same flame, and to eternally be.
Gratitude Creates Abundance
There IS MUCH MUCH to be grateful for.
Focus on what there ISā¦not what you āthinkā you lack.
Things come to you in the ways that are for your highest good.
We think we know what that is, but thatās simply ego running the show – trying to control things with attached expectations and limitations.
What shows up for us is an unconditionally, wider perspective – so perfect and a truly hidden gift.
We just havenāt unwrapped the abundance yet.Ā
The more gratitude you embrace, the more abundance you experience.
A Little Message of Personal Gratitude that Pervaded My Day
This is just a short little post of some extra love and gratitude in my heart that’s been flowing through my day. I almost was going to post this on Facebook, but I felt guided, rather, to document it here on the pages that mean very much to me.
My day since this morning has been unfolding beautifully and magically, including some encounters with others at a few stores I visited after my session, and continues to carry forth into my design time right now.
Today was yet another reminder to count my blessings and deepen my gratitude.
As I was supporting a regular client of mine in an in-home Reiki session today I was feeling the Divine reflection of the relating and connection, and after, I had to take a moment in the car before driving away to regroup, so to speak, feeling choked up, and to reflect on how much I love what I do and am grateful for theĀ honor and opportunity to do it.
The opportunities to connect with and support so many souls in such a profound way, from all walks of life and from all over the world, there simply are no words for, to share how beautiful that is. Whether it’s sending support by distance, through an email, in a brief exchange at the grocery store, or in some beautiful spot on the globe, the feeling is the same. It just overflows in warm, precious rainbow bubbles within the heart.
I know that many of you teachers and healers know what I’m sharing.
Today’s session with a spiritually open man in his early 70’s, an Australian native living in the hills of Laguna Beach, where we connect in an empowering way to support his challenges and to help him to move into a new phase of his life, is one of those priceless moments in my life.
After providing the session, done with the backdrop of the ocean view through the window, I could only say:
“Thank you for the honor of being here with this soul, at this time. There’s no place I would rather be. And at every moment, I am exactly where I need to be, where ever that is. All is truly Divine in the world.”
A Brief Message of the Divinity of Our Connections
In reflections and messages of late, and conversations I shared today, this felt wanting to be expressed openly, for what ever reason. I feel a transcendent gratitude for everyone, everything, and the Divine magick of this experience that is exponentially integrating.
As pilgrims of the universe we ride this journey in kin to many for collective service. There are many powerful connections we will experience over the course of our lives, especially with souls who have embodied on this Earth many times more than most. And in service, there are partnerships that take place in higher good for the collective because of shared resonance to the work expressed in love.
And then, there are the connections that take space in a recess of the heart that is in a different way. A way not expressed by words. And is more than the grace of moving in and out of flowing connections that will come and go – and they do, just simply come and go naturally, exquisitely…like stars shooting across the cosmos (some very fast and some over time).
But some will have a recess of the heart that transcends and will ride the journey alongside you eternally.
In honor and love to all
