A Week Off

​If you know and love me, you know how much I love working.
I could work for days and weeks on end and often do.

It can all roll into one because you know work ain't work when you love what you do.

I also love knowing the work that I do makes a difference in the lives of many.

I am grateful for my gifts and passions and I am also grateful to apply those gifts and passions to my own life too.

Last weekend, I celebrated the launch of my newest book Talking to the Trees and it reaching #1 new release in Educational Counseling and Crisis Management Counseling.

I had been working diligently for the past three months and things revved up the same time stay at home orders began.

People began prioritizing their mental and emotional health and I have been eager to answer that call.

Business has tripled since Feb and I have been working more than ever to support the transformation of many in the forms of books, book clubs, programs, courses, and coaching.

I have tears of joy and gratitude for the gift of being ready and prepared to support people through these times.

I have never felt more in my purpose than these last few months.

I legitimately wake up laughing.
​
I love what I do.
I love the ripple effect I get to witness.

I also must prioritize this vessel in order to keep doing this work.

Before 2019, I didn't know how to take a week off.
I would tell myself that I couldn't afford to take off.

For so much of my life, I functioned by the fear
'a break in action now, is a break in momentum later.'

Come to find out; the more I rest, the more I make.
The less I hustle, the less I stress.
The more relaxed I am, the more open I am to receive.

It's not magic.

It's faith.

Faith in your worth.
Faith in your deservedness.
Faith in your gifts being delivered when you are happy, healthy, and well.
Faith that you are loved, cared for, provided for, and guided.

Consider that you don't have to EARN your abundance, you have to learn how to ALLOW it.

Prosperity comes to those who can accept with grace and gratitude.

Nothing comes to an ungrateful heart.
Nothing attracts to a resistant mind.
Nothing flows through a constricted body.

I am sharing these breakthroughs because I have had them.
Over and over and over....

You must relax into your receiving.
You must lean into intuition.
You must listen to your being when it tells you to rest.

There is gold in your ability to listen and honor what you hear.

Consider that slowing down isn't slowing down at all.

Here are a few of the very few memories I captured by phone.
​Most are just jotted in memory and journal.
