Family…
a word we so often hear, yet possibly have our own unique meanings.
A weekend home celebrating my parents 50 th anniversary…
Wow..to think all of those years these two humans have spent living their life together, choosing each other again and again even In the roughest of times. They meet each other where they are and at times where they are not, yet have their own style of “love”
It took me many years to understand that the way people choose to be in their relationships is up to them.
There’s no right , wrong , good, or bad, it simply is…and is your choice, you get to co-create your style.

Todays Message:
⭐️family / community is essential ( whatever your style is)

I encourage you to decide today, what your style is and co- create the community you desire.

I feel so blessed to have been able to see so many “family” members in one place last night. I thank each of you for being a part of my journey in getting to know who I am and why I am here. I thank each of you for your contribution to being there for my mom and dad and family too!! Our core values remain: family, faith, and fun!

An acronym to inspire YOU:

F- Fun : celebrate , dance, laugh as much as you can

A- Appreciation : be grateful for all of it even the bumps in the road and what you like and don’t like

M- moment : right now is the most important thing right now

I- immune system : be as healthy as you can knowing that our body has the power to heal itself again and again and when we see our loved ones, seeing them and each other healthy supports us all.

L-love : love without excuses and love as much as you can, even when you disagree or get upset .

Y- yellow brick road : follow your souls path, your golden path because each of us has a purpose and when you’re on yours you get to shine and it feels wonderful!!

To my parents of 50 years, you are brave and strong, your voices can soar above any storm, and you continue to show us the “family” style way. You both have conquered a “major detour” and yet managed to stay on your yellow brick roads!! That’s a big win , greater than any basketball game we ever one!

Comment below something about your family style.

Blessings!

What is your approach to life, to love, to be, to do, to have?

When I was trained and certified in Simonson Dance Technique, Lynn taught me that this technique was an organic `approach` to movement. It was designed to set the body up correctly to be able to move bigger and with more ease in alignment. This allowed for the joy to be felt, the body to feel free, and the mind/body connection to be clear.

Who would have thought that when we learned `our approach to movement or in life` our mind body and spirit were able to feel ease, peace, joy, freedom?

Today, I want to ask you:

What will your approach be to waking up, interacting with others, eating, working, your challenges, the things you must do, the things you love, sleep...

You see, your approach to anything can change the result and the feeling you have.

Here is a quick tip:

A: Approach: How are you approaching your daily actions?

P: Presence : Are you here and now?

P: Patience : Are you kind and loving ?

R: Rest: When was the last time you sat and thought of nothing?

O: Oxygen : Inhale 4, exhale 4

A: Awareness : Are you aware, present, with who you are you, what you want?

C: Clarity : Do you know what solutions work for you, not everyone else?

H: Health : Are you healthy in mind body spirit , are you well in your soul. doing what you love, around people who empower you, is your body optimal and functioning properly, can you walk freely, see clearly, breathe clearly, are you hydrated, energized, mineralized....( more on health later) HA!

Anyways my friends and family , I wish you awareness in your approach today, afterall, when I approached my challenges with a calm centered mind and body this week, all worked out so nicely...

Give it a GO and let me KNOW!

"Awareness is a key to live without judgment."

What if anything and everything that happened to you, for you, about you, etc. was an "awareness?"

Things like failing, succeeding, learning new skills, feedback, your bodies messages, people coming in and out of our life, winning, losing, an A, a C, your car not starting, making money, not making money, injury, love, creating the life you desire, your children, a new friend, a new job, dis-ease in your body, peace, etc...were all awareness for you and not against you?

What if you were to see it as simple as an "awareness?"
(hmmmmmmm)

Well what is `awareness?`

Awareness is consciousness, appreciation, acknowledgment, mindfulness, attention, recognition..( All the things we as humans desire)

It is is the ability to be conscious of....`present.`

Maybe you have heard people wanting to raise the consciousness of the planet..( meaning bring people present to what`s going on)

Perhaps you have heard, someone say `be present.` ( meaning be here and now.)

Or maybe someone asked you "Are you aware?" or "Are you here?" ( meaning do you see what I see.)

Well, when I had a near-death experience in 2021 in my home and fell unconsciously to the floor, what woke me up was the question my soul lover David had asked me.
" Are you here?" " Are you here?"
I awakened immediately and answered, " Yes, I am here , I am here."

You see, my heart had stopped for a couple of seconds and I had a choice (full story may come later.) But, this was not the first time my heart had stopped or felt unfulfilled or felt unseen and unheard. I remember this exact awareness in 2009,when I was a Rockette ( Ego Job , not Soul Job) and was hit unconsciously to the floor and chose to awaken to "be here, in awareness, in consciousness.. in the now, following what my heart really really wanted.

Are you following me? ( I do not mean following me on Instagram , I mean following the message here?)

"Awareness is a key to live without judgment"( aka fear) so you can live here and now, in the present, in love, in peace, in harmony, in happiness.

June is Scoliosis Awareness Month and I enjoy acknowledging all of those young and adult individuals who have experienced this dis-ease. You betta WERK!

Growing up as a teenager in a back brace was difficult 😞

My perception of my body as a teenager was negative .

The clothes I put on as a teenager never fit to my liking.

The pain in my lower back as a teenager created pain in my mental , emotional, and spiritual health.

I actually got mad at God at 12 years old because I was unable to receive this as a gift right away.

As a teenager I didn’t learn how to process pain, handle pain, even understand the differences in pain.

Did you know most people experience “pain” on a daily basis?

Did you know that our spine is our lifeline and is the reason we sit , stand, move and more?

Did you know that if you want you can turn your pain into purpose?

Fast forward to right now, I am 42 years old with a full time coaching and speaking business helping others embrace who they are, empower their gifts, and expand their results and reach.
You see, today I know that everything that happens to me is for me not against me.
As a teenager, my fear was stronger than my faith and I had no idea how to love myself through it.

As a teen, my self talk was self defeating and became self abusive .

I had to continue to turn my pains into purpose and learn how to..

How to change my self talk..
How to practice faith ..
How to accept my body..
How to appreciate who I was and what gifts I was given..

You see, we are one skill away from turning our pain around.

So today, maybe you have a pain and you don’t know how to…

Guess what.. you can learn, you can ask for help, you can find a solution, you can you can you can..

I encourage you today to start knowing that solutions exist .

I encourage you to trust in your plan and purpose.

I encourage you to know that you are one skill away..

When in doubt Ask God to show you what’s possible.

I always found the people that were able to help me. I always found my faith. I always kept asking and I always knew I was one skill away.

To all my scoliosis helpers, I thank you for your contributions.

Shine On , G ...
