I woke up this morning and realized I hadn’t even written a posting about this last Saturday’s amazing workshop. What a wonderful experience it was.
I showed up at the Casa del Mar hotel in Santa Monica around 3pm and settled down into a super comfy couch there, awaiting what ever was next. I hadn’t heard of anyone planning to attend the session, but I feel right now it’s important that I put myself out there consistently, with faith and joy. After all, this is my work in the world and I love doing it.
Once I had myself situated I just waited there, playing games on my cellular-less iPhone – which essentially makes it an iPod Touch, but it really is an iPhone — day dreaming and enjoying myself.
About 45 minutes later, I gathered up my coat and headed back out into the world.
And then the workshop actually started!
As I walked on the boardwalk along the beach, I decided to give my introductory schpeel anyways and have fun with it. See, I find it highly beneficial to regularly remind myself of the 3 foundational beliefs that have become the guidelines for doing this work;
- Nothing has gone wrong, is going wrong or will go wrong.
- There is only Love, only Abundance.
- Well-Being is 100% guaranteed, assured and inevitable.
So as I walked, I talked to my invisible unknown audience, explaining these three points further, as the wind picked up steadily and rain began to come down. 
Eventually I found my way to my favorite pizza join on the Promenade and bumped into an old dance friend I hadn’t seen in 6+ months. And guess what? She was in dire straits and I ended up giving the workshop to her! After some pizza to ground her and some high vibration conversation, she went away nearly headache free and very much relieved.
It never ceases to amaze me how wonderfully taken care of we all are, and how simply showing up to do our work in the world…and allowing the Universe to manage the details….truly is miraculous.
We’re on again this Saturday. Peace!
I’ve noticed a few people worrying recently.
- An email newsletter from a friend who works for global climate change and consciousness who was getting angry and concerned for out planet’s future.
- A facebook posting from someone concerned with getting blamed at work the next day for something not their responsibility.
- Myself about money or how a friend might react by my setting a boundary.
- A friend in my online video game who worries about whether our club is heading the “right” direction for her.
- A friend upset about an argument she had with a man she loves but who will not free himself to commit to her.
So much worry. So much planning for the worst to happen.
Admittedly, I worry far less than I ever have now. What a blessing! And when it does come up in me, I can feel it sooner and begin to make new choices in perspective almost immediately (as I wrote about the other day)
I know it’s just fear and not seeing the world from the most loving, abundant perspective possible. But I sense that many people see it as fact in their lives.
Think about this for a moment. If what you worry about is fact, then you are a slave to that happening. Then every other piece of life that is connected to that item of worry is potentially effected in an adverse domino effect, rippling out from that one event to many others. And suddenly over night, life sucks!
Why do we worry, when in the face of such a life-devastating dynamic we loose our power and freedom to be vibrant and alive creators. Instead, we become fearful or angry zombies who feel powerless and helpless. And yet WE’RE NOT!
I know it’s hard to believe for some people, but Well-Being truly does abound. I know it as fact that there is only Love and Abundance and that Well-Being — mine, yours, ours, the planets — is a given, assured, guaranteed and inevitable.
When you begin to believe this, you will begin to see this as true — see clear cut evidence of it — and feel better in the process.
This is why I’ve made it a practice to look for reasons to feel good — even in the face of a potentially devastating or disappointing outcome. And I do this simply for one reason. I wish to feel good. As good as I can in any given moment.
After all, worrying is just a form of planning. So is appreciation. And I choose appreciation. I choose planning for the best or even better.
This morning I woke up feeling pretty darn good. And as my head started to follow my spirit back into the world, within a few moments I could feel myself worrying slightly. Ever so slightly.
Now it was so slight that I could have easily ignored it and gone about my day, finding wonderful things to focus on and having fun…but still slightly worrying.
This morning, I didn’t want that.
See I recognize that even the smallest, most subtle negative emotion is still the perfect groundwork for deliberately choosing to go in the direction of happiness, peace, love and joy. So I did.
Within about an hour I had remembered, and once again took to heart, the three essential truths I have come to believe in after everything that’s happened in the last 14 months:
- Nothin has gone wrong. Everything is going right!
- There is only Love; only Abundance.
- Well-Being — mine, yours that planet’s and everyone else’s — is inevitable, guaranteed and assured.
Amazingly enough, just remembering and repeating these three things brought me back into my heart, into the moment and into joy. And I love that they are the foundational concepts behind my work in the world — the ideas that make the work possible.
Speaking of which, last Saturday was so much fun that I’m going to hold the workshop every Saturday in March as a drop in. I’m truly excited about finally stepping forward in love and clarity with my work and gift for myself and the world. And I’m equally excited to have it be so well received.

Sigh….nothing quite like being in total alignment. Life is so wonderful, flowing and easy!
Ah there’s nothing quite like the wonderful unfolding of glorious and delicious events, one after the other, while flowing in the utter openesss, willingness and ultimate allowing of it all to happen with ease and effortlessness. That’s what my last few days have been like.
It all started with waking up Friday morning and realizing I could just as well hold my “workshop” in a favorite hotel lobby as I could at a friend’s house or some other venue. So I selected the Fairmont Miramar in Santa Monica and felt really good about the choice.
Saturday morning I woke up to rain and thought “Oh no!” But a little voice inside assured me it would all be fine.
An hour later I was out into the day and catching my bus to the hotel to sit and wait to see what unfolded. Upon arrival I felt great, found a comfy chair to sit in, ordered a (very expensive) pineapple juice and settled in to play checkers on my iPod till more was revealed — fully prepared to be the only person there for the entire 2 hours.
Well, miracles do abound when we allow them, and within 30 minutes or so, several unexpected guests showed up out of the blue and the workshop commenced. One guest was a dear friend who came out to support me in love, and that was such an honor and a blessing.
We sat for well over an hour openly discussing how to feel more loving and more abundant within romantic relationships. Much was discussed about how everything we want will inevitably come to us, but more so when we find themost loving perspective, and also how to find that perspective when we’ve been hurt or had our security issues and stories get triggered.
Afterwards, I went off to enjoy a birthday hamburger and Barney’s on the promenade and head home on the bus.
And here’s the second miracle….despite very heavy rain all day long on Saturday, whenever I was outside I never got caught in the rain! Not even once!
The weekend was wonderfully wrapped up with a powerful dance class and birthday lift…you have to experience it to understand….followed by delicious lunch bought by a friend and fun jokes and reminiscing about childhood games and toys.
I am truly blessed and so happy to celebrate this time of expansion in my life. Finally, I am taking my work — my self — out into the world!
I thank the Universe for the positive response to it so far and lovingly allow more to unfold!
I’m really touched today. By life. By love. By joy. By the joy that comes from the love of life!
And it’s all so simple today. So easy.
Monday night I was officially booked for a lecture/workshop at the Heart and Soul Expo in North Cyprus (yes, the country Cyprus) and was even given an exhibit table, if I want it. And it all came about so smoothly, easily and magically. In fact, it came from a decision and a “mistake”. Guess there’s not such a thing.
On Monday I also scheduled my 1st ever “Through the Eyes of Love” workshop here in Los Angeles.
This one action — this one step forward in faith and joy — feels like it has taken a lifetime of waiting, dreaming, sitting and stewing, sometimes worrying (sometimes more than not) and finding the perfect feeling around it all. Last year was about surrender. This year is about stepping out in front of the many rather than the few. And so, I stepped.
And what’s truly remarkable for me is that I haven’t been falling into any of the old patterns around putting myself out there in a workshop or lecture manner. See, in the past, I’d set something like this up then obsessive about how many people would attend and I’d run the numbers in my mind trying to figure out how much money I’ll make and if it will meet my needs and make me happy.
This time, I’m offering it by donation, giving 50% of the donations to my favorite food bank and — I don’t really care about the money.
That’s because I’m touched by joy in doing the whole thing. I love this work! It’s what I came here to do. I do it well and naturally and with love and joy in my heart. After several years of doing this work with a select handful of friends, it really is now time to bring it out into the world.
And it’s happening so easily and effortlessly.
Today, as I walked around Korea Town, enjoying me and the city surroundings I stated that I didn’t care how many people came to the workshop or how much money I will make (and I will!) but that there be a group of fun-spirited, open-hearted people who want to feel better and are willing to go there with me. The rest, is taken care of.
This, to me, is an expression of being touched by joy. And I am filled with appreciation for being here now.
I can’t quite put words to the experience I’m having tonight. A LOT of energy moving through my body. I feel like someone or something is calling me forward…..forward into the unknown, into the ether, into something bigger than me. Into the All-That-Is I suppose.
So many things in me at once. Questions. Answers. Knowings. Unknowings.
Today I learned about Tristan, one of the “New Children”, who remembers so much of what life was like before birth, remembers past lives, being a Non-Physical Being of Light, remembers conversations with God and why he has come to be born — as a messenger of love.
Today I watched Don Miguel Ruiz and his son and predecessor Don Jose Ruiz on my friend Lilou Mace’s YouTube channel. Why am I even calling her a friend? I’ve never met the woman but have seen so many of her videos and feel connected in purpose and mission, and inspired by her work. Both of these men speak so deeply from the heart, with so much love. And it is evident in how it touches Lilou.
Today I watched several Marie Digby videos on her YouTube channel. She is not only an incredibly talented musician and performer and an exceptionally beautiful woman, but a powerhouse channel of authentic emotion and heart. Her music, her voice, her simple but heartfelt authenticity always send me and my energy spiralling.
Today I received several incredible emails from a woman in Cyprus. Monika was an advertiser in a recent edition of the Caretaker Gazette which I joined a week ago to find new house sits. I had written her regarding her listing looking for a house sitter, only to find that it had been mistakenly included in the issue, as it was an old, already filled listing. Or was it mistaken?
In her emails today she mentioned how she wished she could participate in my workshops and that I wasn’t so far away in Los Angeles. And then, in a follow up email she indirectly invited me to come speak at an intriguing expo happening in North Cyprus in May — the Heart and Soul Expo. It just so happens that Monika is good friends with one of the long-standing participants of the expo who appears to talk about Law of Attraction. It also happens that entire area of the planet is powerfully influenced by my most positive astrological lines (Venus & Jupiter) in the area of work. Coincidence?
To top that off, I spent the day re-writing my web site to orient toward my true message of Love and devised my one and only workshop, “Through the Eyes of Love“, which is intended to guide people into learning how to find the most loving, abundant and best-feeling perspective on any topic, at any time. And for some strange and bizarre reason I can powerfully feel that I am supposed to begin offering this workshop locally very soon. As soon as February 27th in fact. And yet I do not know where or how!
As I have been sort of struggling and mulling over how to offer my heart-wisdom to the world, how to carry my message and what is my message, all these developments and new happenings are all quite profound for me today.
I close out the day finally knowing and feeling I am on the right path! Knowing what I am to talk about and my unique perspective and gift as a channel of Love and Abundance. Knowing that the simplicity of the 3 enduring principles of “Through the Eyes of Love” is right and clear and whole. Knowing that this last year has been internal for good reason and that as I approach my 46th birthday on February 25th, this next year is about going out into the world, powerfully, clearly and with an open heart, to share my story, my heart-wisdom and experience with the world.
Please, Universe and my guides, continue to show my how I fit into the grand scheme of things, how to move forward in alignment with my purpose and path for the good of myself and all the world. Thank you!
And as my good friend and spiritual advisor Dr. Peebles often reminds me, this is only the tippy-top of the iceberg!
We are all messagers! Don Jose Ruiz, co-author of the Fifth Agreement
This man speaks my language. He speaks as my brother on the the journey and from his speaking from his heart I am deeply inspired. What kind of messenger are you today?
Blessings,
