We’re on a planet that somehow knows how to rotate on its axis and follow a defined path while it hurtles through space! Our hearts beat! We can see! We have love, laughter, language, living rooms, computers, compassion, cars, fire, fingernails, flowers, music, medicine, mountains, muffins! We live in a limitless Universe overflowing with miracles! The fact that we aren’t stumbling around in an inconsolable state of sobbing awe is appalling. All the stuff we’re so worried about creating and fixated on becoming is already right here, right now. The money you want already exists; the person you want to meet is already alive; the experience you want to have is available, now; the idea for that brilliant song you want to write is here, now, waiting for you to download the information. The knowledge and insight and joy and connection and love are all wagging their hands in your face, trying to get your attention. The life you want is right here, right now.

You are a badass. You were one when you came screaming onto this planet and you are one now. The Universe wouldn’t have bothered with you otherwise. You can’t screw up so majorly that your badassery disappears. It is who you are. It’s who you always will be. It’s not up for negotiation. You get to choose how you perceive your reality. So why, when it comes to perceiving yourself, would you choose to see anything other than a super huge rock star of a creature?

If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration. —Nokola Tesla. Wherever you happen to stand on the God issue, let me just say that that this whole improving your life thing is going to be a lot easier if you have an open mind about it. Call it whatever you want — God, Goddess, The Big Guy, The Universe, Source Energy, Higher Power, The Grand Poobah, gut, intuition, Spirit, The Force, The Zone, The Lord, The Vortex, The Mother Lode—it doesn’t matter. The Universe, The Vortex, Spirit, The Mother Lode (all of which I will use interchangeably throughout this book, FYI). Whatever you choose to call it isn’t important, what is important is that you start to develop an awareness of, and a relationship with, the Source Energy that’s surrounding you and within you (which is all the same energy), and which will be your best pal ever if you give it a chance.

You can start out with nothing, and out of nothing, and out of no way, a way will be made. —Reverend Michael Bernard. it’s not your fault that you’re fucked up. It’s your fault if you stay fucked up, but the foundation of your fuckedupedness is something that’s been passed down through generations of your family, like a coat of arms or a killer cornbread recipe, or in my case, equating confrontation with heart failure.

In this episode, we delve into the depths of confusion, doubt, and uncertainty, exploring practical strategies for navigating life's storms and finding clarity amidst the chaos. Join me as we embrace the unknown, conquer fear, and take empowered steps forward together.

Today, we're diving into a topic that might get some conversations fired up: independence and redefining what it means to be a successful woman in our society today. Now, hold on before you hit that unsubscribe button! This ain't your grandma's lecture about finding a husband. We're all about empowering young people, both women and men, to break free from outdated ideas and build the future we want to see. Let's be real. We all see it on social media: the #couplegoals, the vacations dripping with luxury, the implication that a woman's worth is tied to the size of her rock. But here's the thing: that narrative is tired, and it's holding us all back. There's nothing wrong with enjoying the finer things in life. Treat yourself, honey! But true fulfillment comes from building your own dreams, not relying on someone else's bank account. So it's not about men vs. women. It's about dismantling limiting expectations and building a future where success is about passion, purpose, and personal growth. So, here's the real tea: being a lazy gold digger isn't cute, for anyone. But there's a huge difference between wanting nice things and being solely defined by material possessions.

Feeling like a hamster on a never-ending wheel? Yeah, me too! This episode is your permission to ditch the adulting pressure for a minute.

This episode is for everyone out there who's been wrestling with the overwhelm – This episode's for all my peeps feeling overwhelmed. We're gonna dive deep (well, maybe not that deep) into why I haven't been around and chat about how to navigate those crazy times when life throws everything at you. Plus, some encouraging words from Psalms 22 and 18 to remind us that God's got our backs, even when we feel like we're drowning. So grab a cup of coffee, tea, or whatever keeps you going, and let's chat! #beenthere #faith #encouragement #FaithOverwhelm #CoffeeAndPsalms

Chapter 2 of "Atomic Habits" by James Clear is titled "How Your Habits Shape Your Identity (and Vice Versa)". This chapter explores the relationship between our habits and our identity, and how they are intertwined and affect each other. Clear argues that our habits are not just a reflection of our identity, but they also shape it. He emphasizes that we should focus on building identity-based habits rather than performance-based habits.

Hate is like holding a Hot Coal while waiting to throw it at someone else, this only hurts us further. Hate is like poison to the mind and tarnished the soul. We should learn to forgive and let go. Let Go and Let God

It is important that we pay less attention in trying to figure out tomorrow but make good use of today and trust God
