Day 100 - Gifts from this Incredible Journey

4/23/2014

1 Comment

 
Today is Day 100 of my 100 Day Commitment.  I committed to exercising every day for 100 days.  I had to do something for myself and my body that would tone or strengthen it.  Walking didn't count in this personal challenge because I will always walk, and it's not my edge. It's my home.  Exercising - toning, stretching, strengthening - was my edge.


TODAY I CELEBRATE!  I have honored my 100 Day Commitment EVERY SINGLE DAY of the 100 days and have exercised and done something to move, love, enjoy, feel my body!

I am amazed, quite honestly!  When I first saw this challenge on Facebook, as much as I intuitively knew that I had to do it, I also wondered how I would ever make the time, remember, get over my resistance.  I was like, "Yeah. Right."  So I took it one day at a time, with the 100 days as my goal or vision in site all the time.

Honestly, it was like the whole Universe conspired for me to do this and take this on!  I could feel the groundswell of support as I stepped into the powerful Commitment to Self.

On Day 1, I went to a Fitness for Life class, and I have gone back nearly every Monday, Wednesday and Friday since.  Why?  Because the teacher of this class, Jennifer, has been one of my angels since that very first day.  She welcomed me in, asked what she needed to know about me in terms of exercising, and has just so supported me every step of the way!  It felt like she just invited me in more deeply to myself, and gave my resistance nothing to fight with!

I have gone to this Fitness for Life class, but another similar one at a different time.  I have gone to a NIA class, an Ayre dance class, I have used the "Fitness over 50" dvd's.  I have gone to Pilates with Helen.  I have sprinkled in with stretching, a Fit Ball, a little yoga.  Every day for 100 days I have moved, loved, stretched, toned and strengthened my body.

Years ago, I created with my dear friend Sue the acronym of HFTTFS. 
HEALTHY ~ FIT ~ TRIM  ~ TONED ~ FLEXIBLE ~ STRONG.

I am now living into and from that vision of my body being HFTTFS!  WooHoo!

What are the gifts from my taking on the 100 Commitment?

  • confidence - I now know that I can exercise, that I can commit to something seemingly impossible and do it!  I can no longer use my body, or being weak as an excuse.  I get to, have to show up now differently than I ever have
    • strength - you can feel the toned and strengthened muscles in my legs and arms
      no excuses - it's all about commitment, clarity, focus, and honoring your intuition.  I can do many exercises now that at the beginning, Jennifer wouldn't even have me do!  I can feel the muscles in more trunk now...they're engaged, they're firing, they're working!
      • intuition - when you are directed or impulsed by Spirit through your intuition, listen to it, honor it, do it! The picture is always so much bigger than you think it is, and so the magic, and the miracles are more than you ever imagined also!
        • weaving of the split - the 24 year old physical split in my abdominal recti muscles is healing and being healed.  It is now healed up almost to belly button, and coming down from my sternum.

          Healing the physical split is mirroring the healing of the energetic split within that has been there since I was a young girl, perhaps I even came in with it.  This dyanamic of a split is a big part of my soul's purpose - I came to heal the split I have experienced on every level of my being - spirit/matter; mind/body; England/America; creative/intellect; masculine/feminine; internal/external; home centered/out in the world; inner/outer...I could go on and on. 

          This 100 Day Commitment has been a unifier for me and has served to bring together and integrate the polarities within me.  While supporting the healing of the split, it has simultaneously been bringing together these aspects of myself that have been at war with each other.  Somehow, they are now working in concert together and recognizing the mutuality of their co-existence.

          WHOLENESS
        • connection to my core - I know that I am just getting started on truly touching my core.  It's as though it's taken me 100 days to come into the core of things!!  And if you'd ever told me it would take this long, and that I am really only just getting started, I'm not sure I would have ever started (which brings us back to the wisdom of Spirit and guiding us through our intuition!)  This 100 day practice has been a foundation creator and builder.
        • foundation - I now have the strength and the foundation to go into my core and to do the core work!  ha!
        • Self - a recognition that I actually have a Self, and that with this, comes an acceptance of certain degree of "selfishness" or self-centeredness.  WOW!  One of my shadows has been "Selfish" and so I have worked endlessly to NOT be selfish or self-centered in any way.  Hence, no core, no center.  I have come into an acceptance of Self and this demands a certain level of selfish, self-centeredness.  Many times I had to remove myself from the family and inconvenience them, and myself, to exercise that day.  And you know, it was okay.  There was nothing wrong, no harm done, by my taking care of myself.  Fancy that?!
        • container - I can physically, and emotionally - feel that my body can now serve me and our path together because it can now provide a container for our work together.  We are working together now!  Before my body always felt like a sieve that energy leaked through, so I'd always be trying to do what I needed to do behind my body's back almost.  I didn't know how to work in partnership with my body.
        • partnership - working together with my body on this journey we're on.  Loving and appreciating its strength, its form, its perfection, and its wisdom.
        • self-love, self-appreciation and self-acceptance - I am developing and deepening a love for myself and my body.  I actually am coming into a deep acceptance of myself, my Self, my gifts, my purpose, and my mission.  Funny right?!  Never would have expected that this 100 Day Commitment would give me these gifts!  What a blessing!
        • anchoring - I am coming in and home to myself, my core, my Self in a quiet, powerful, undramatic way.  It's like I'm experiencing my self in a new way.  It just is.  I just am.  As I type this, big deep relaxing breath.  I am.
        • creativity and manifestation - I am becoming a powerful and potent creative manifestor, and I am able to ride the waves of manifestation in a new, embodied, present way. I am recognizing and accepting myself as a profoundly creative person for the first time.  I am accepting who I am as a magnificent manifestor too!
        • EMBODIMENT - Wow!  I am embodying EMBODIMENT! My theme for 2014 - Embodiment!  I truly believe that it was my taking on and accepting this theme for this year that actually aligned me with the 100 Commitment.  It was the original spark.  And here we are, I am, 100 days later, and I am more in my body, in my being, on my path, than I have ever been.  I am so profoundly humbled and grateful.
        I am so moved and grateful to have been impulsed by Spirit to gift my Self with this 100 Commitment.  The gifts will continue to reveal themselves, as I know I only scratched the surface writing here today.  The picture is so much bigger than I ever could have imagined.  At times I have glimpsed into that picture, and it is so beautiful and divine that I, for a very brief moment, have stood in awe and gratitude for my getting to be a part of this picture.  That Spirit, God, the Universe, cared enough about me to inspire me to take on the 100 Commitment.  As I fully receive this, I breathe deep, fill myself with the love, and relax into that I matter.  I matter.  My body matters.  It matters that I have love and honor my body, and my Self on a daily basis.  The truth is we all matter, every single one of us.  How blessed am I.  How blessed are we. 
Picture
We all matter. Each and every one of us!
So, today I celebrate!  I celebrate completing this 100 Day journey that has given me so much more than I ever could have imagined.  I celebrate with dear sister friends by walking the Mesa Trail on a lovely spring afternoon...getting to walk, be outside, with friends, loving, laughing and celebrating the beautiful gifts of being alive in an amazingly wonderful human body that is also HFTTFS!!

The Paradox of Self, Self-Serving and Serving from Self

3/25/2014

0 Comments

 
I am currently enrolled in a 40 Day process called Awakened Wealth.  Loving the class and all that it is awakening in me.

Yesterday as I was stepping into creating the upcoming Cornwall pilgrimage program, I felt some familiar fears come up as the pricing for this journey became clear.  My shadow of being selfish, greedy, self-serving, uncaring came up with a vengeance...and thanks to this class, I actually have a process to work with that allows us to first become conscious of our sabotaging shadows, and then to receive their gifts and integrate them.  Notice I didn't say get rid of.  Thank goodness.  Because whenever I have tried to get rid of the parts of myself, they come back with even more strength and control anyway.

As I worked with this very persistent shadow, I noticed that this is what comes up when ever I do anything for myself, on any level, whether it's to know what I want, to give myself time alone away from others, to ask for what I need, or even want.  In order to prove that I am not a selfish, greedy, needy, self-serving person, I am then always going out of my way to be there for others, to know what what they want (sometimes even before they do) and make sure that their needs/desires are met.  Over the years, and especially when I was a young girl, I chose to ignore my self to the extent that I lost my self out of always being there for others.  Somehow, I got the message and reinforcement that this how I would be safe, loved and cared for was to put others before, make sure that all of their needs and desires are met, and only then could I think of myself.  Challenge was, of course, that my job of taking care of others was never done, so it never got to the point that I could be here for myself.  I figured out how to do things in the right way according to other's people's way of doing things, such as dressing, what to study, how to happy doing what others did, how to want what I had figured out to want.  In the process, I split wide open, let her go and actually lost connection with myself.  I have spent my adult years working hard to find that little girl again.  Who would have thought that I would fully reconnect with her here in the Awakened Wealth class, where we awaken by integrating our shadows that have been running the show.  To awaken to the light and to the truth, one must be willing to see and love the shadows!!

The gift of being self-less was that I was very concerned with others and what was best for them, so I supported others to know what they wanted, and how to fulfill their dreams.   I look at my kids being such clear models of young adults who are deeply connected to their creativity and are making life choices to follow their dreams and live their passions!  My oldest is in a successful band that is currently on the second tour of the season.  My daughter is an amazing artist who is a Studio Art Major in college with a minor in Education and Social Justice.  My younger son is gay and came out when he was only 13.  He lives true to himself and is quite flamboyant.  My youngest daughter, at nearly 13, is a dancer and a singer who sings and dances all the time
!  I am so grateful that my self-lessness has supported my 4 kids to be their authentic, creative, expansive selves.  This is a true gift of my shadow.  Thank you.

When I asked what the lesson and gifts are now, my Shadow said that the time is now for me to re-balance the imbalance.  I have completed a contract of supporting my kids to be deeply rooted and connected in their core selves.  Truth be told, I have actually been vigilant about this for them.  I am so getting as I type that this was the deal on a soul level.  I had to lose myself so that I could give my kids the gift of knowing, loving and accepting themselves unconditionally.  That was more than worth it.
  And now it's time to come back to me.  Because I also have a deep desire to serve beyond my family and children, and I cannot serve without taking care of and honoring my self first.  No Self - no true service.  True service comes from the heart, and giving from my fullness, through my gifts.  It's along the lines of that quote I heard a few years ago by Harold Thurman -


“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”

How can I know what makes me come alive, if I am not connected to my self and do not allow or acknowledge my desires or deepest yearnings?

The truth is that I cannot be a channel for infinite good and contribution when I am not connected to self.  This is the paradox.  I actually must be self-centered
to contribute in a way that actually transforms our world and planet and infuses it with infinite love.  Otherwise, what I can offer and give is finite.  From my very limited and finite perspective of trying to figure and know for others and the outer world what is needed, I can only give and support in a finite and limited way.  It is actually way more selfish as I actually think that I can know what is being called for, rather than open and receive the truth in any situation.  My ego, fears and concerns actually filter what I can know about any situation.  Since it is all about me and my filter, what I contribute is a drop in the bucket, and a murky, muddy drop. 
From this perspective, I may think I know what they need to feel "better" but I am unaware of what they truly need and are asking for.   I stop the flow with thinking and acting as if I know better what is needed for someone, when actually I remain blinded by my own needs and fears, and am acting only from self preservation and protection.

However, when I am connected to Self, I am connected to Source.  When I am in connection with Source/God/Spirit/Divine, I am infinite, and what I contribute comes from an infinite well. I can be an open, clear and loving channel.  How I can truly serve as a channel of infinite good and abundance, is to be a channel for their good.  I can only be a channel when my core is intact and engaged, and opens up like a clear tube to allow the infinite to flow through me.

To be the contribution I am committed to being, I actually have to be self-centered and self-serving.  I have to know what I want and honor it; I get to celebrate my deepest desires and longings; I have to know and cultivate my gifts and talents, and offer them.  I get to radiate who I am as a unique expression of Spirit.  From this place of loving, honoring and expressing myself, I get to truly contribute and serve.

The paradox of Self.  Only when I have Self can I give my Self away.

MY JOURNEY WITH MONEY.  Day 1.

7/19/2013

Picture
I am beginning a new pilgrimage today.  This is perhaps the hardest one for me to walk, and the one that has been inviting me, beckoning me, calling me for my whole life.  This is the one that I have ignored, avoided, pretended to take, sort of taken, toyed with taking.  This path doesn't have a title, or a map, or a destination.  It doesn't even have a route, a path, yet it is the journey that has demanded that I take it, walk it, write it, NOW.  

I know, I just got back from my walking the Mary Michael Pilgrims Way, right?  How dare I take off on another journey as soon as I get back with my family? Yet it is my walking the Mary Michael Way and completing it at my spiritual home in Lostwithiel and Restormel that has given me the container for this next journey.  What do I mean by that?

Well, I walked the Mary Michael Way as a completion to my first leg of the Celtic Camino.  I needed to complete the journey from the root chakra in Santiago de Compostela, in Spain, to the sacral chakra in Toulouse, France.  I began this healing and transformational journey of the chakras in 2009, and walked from Santiago to St. Jean Pied de Port in 2010, and then from St. Jean to Auch, a sacred city eighty kilometers shy of Toulouse in 2012.  To complete this journey, I was guided not to walk from Auch to Toulouse, but to walk in the land of my ancestors, Cornwall, England, by myself.  

I have just completed this journey in June 2013.  I walked the thirty mile Saints Way from Padstow to Fowey with my cousin, Karen through the area where our grandparents and ancestors lived, worked, married, and had their children. Had our parents.  I then walked by myself the twelve mile "Cornish Camino", most commonly known as St. Michael's Way, across the narrowest part of Cornwall from Lelant to Penzance, in view of St. Michael's Mount.  I then walked, again alone, the first one hundred miles of the Mary Michael Pilgrims Way from Carn Les Boel, near Land's End, through Penzance to Lostwithiel and Restormel Castle. 

These pilgrimages have been very physical.  I walk on footpaths, roads, and coastal paths, along cliffs and through dark woods, through towns and villages, across fields and streams, and over hills and along verdant valleys.  I walk eight to twelve miles a day, or roughly twenty kilometers.  I carry a pack with twenty or so pounds of clothes, tents, sleeping bag, toiletries, food and water.  I use walking poles to assist me as I walk.  One step after another.  For hours each day.  And I love it.

These pilgrimages are also very internal, rich, deep and transformative.  With each step, with each thought, I experience all of who I am - my fears, my hopes and dreams, my concerns, my longings, my willingness to receive and be open - or not, my confidence, my connections, my aloneness, my belief in myself, my gifts, my path, my service and contributions, my life.  

To walk a pilgrimage is a commitment - to oneself, to the path, to a journey that will transform you in ways known and unknown, and catalyze changes wanted and unwanted.  It is to step into the unknown, and to invite transformation and change with every step.

So, here I am - back at my house with my family, my husband and children, my loved ones, my dog and my cats.  I notice that it is hard for me to say "I am home".  Yes, I am home with my family, but my soul's home is Restormel.  It makes no sense, I know.  Believe me, I know.  With as much clarity as I experienced in Lostwithiel, I come back and am with my family and I also experience a "being home" with them.  Actually, truthfully, I want to experience even more than I do.  I am also aware of experiencing a feeling of being on the outside, not quite as at home as I would like to feel.  Perhaps it is because I have been away for a month, but it is also that I am now more then ever connected to the core of me that is English and longs for extended family, rich, green verdant woods, old buildings, ancient history, funny signs that are so literal in their wording, driving on the left side of the road, cliffs, cloudy days, moist and colorful gardens full of flowers and soft green grass, cups of tea. I LOVE ENGLAND.  I do.  I do.  I do.  And my soul longs to be there more and more frequently.  I am nourished and fed by the land, the people, the accents, the architecture. the food, the ciders, the teas and coffees, clotted cream, cousins, aunts and uncles, family, old family friends, London, Lostwithiel, Bath, Box, Dorchester, ancients stones and stone circles, Celtic crosses, old stone churches and graveyards.

And yet, my family is here, and very, very American.  As my twelve year old daughter says, "I am a Nashville-ian", which she has declared after her trip to Nashville with Steve, her dad, aunt and cousin.  She loves it there. She loves it here in America.  All of my kids do.  Fortunately, my sixteen year old son, Michael, who joined me in England my last week there, certainly relates to England and the English within him, and has even declared that he wants to live there and go to university there.  So there's hope!  But I am also aware that what I long for, deeply desire, is diametrically opposite of what most of the members of my family want, and are connected to.  

What will it take to reconcile my deepest longings and connections with my connection with my children, my family, and being a part of me, and not excluding myself from, my family?

Quite a diversion from where I started.  Back to my next pilgrimage.

I have shared all of this because it creates the context and sets the stage for my next journey.  Well, almost.  One more piece to share from my Mary Michael pilgrimage.

As I mentioned, I walked this journey to complete the first stage of the Celtic Camino, and to heal my first chakra.

To heal my root chakra so that I would actually be able to hold and contain my creations, my wealth, my Self.  My experience has been that I leak out and lose all of this, so that while I may receive inspirations, have wonderful, creative ideas, receive money, I simultaneously leak it out, often times more quickly than I receive it.  I have felt like a sink whose plug has been pulled out.  The water may come into the sink, but it goes out and down the drain with a velocity that does not allow the level of the water to build or rise.  All of the beautiful, clean, clear water goes down the drain.  

My intention for this pilgrimage was to reconnect with my core taproot and literally, plug it back into my root chakra and create a cohesive and beautiful container, womb, from which to build, create and enjoy myself and my life.  

And given my experiences on the path, and especially at Restormel, and the confirmations I received, I know that I accomplished this.  Completely.

So, now that I am back at home with my family, what worked before, or perhaps more accurately, what I got by with, no longer works.  Period.  My coping mechanisms of leaking out energy, intention and integrity through avoidance, ignorance, disconnecting and armoring myself, are no longer permitted, no longer work and are actually now spilling over and coming back at me full force and actually creating waves of havoc, isolation, unhappiness, and poverty.

Like I wrote above, to walk a pilgrimage is a commitment - to oneself, to the path, to a journey that will transform you in ways known and unknown, and catalyze changes wanted and unwanted.  It is to step into the unknown, and to invite transformation and change with every step.

I am a pilgrim.  It's who I am.  It is one of my essential archetypes and an integral aspect of my soul's contract.  I move and grow, transform and welcome change through pilgrimage.  So instead of being a pilgrims only when I am walking a sacred pilgrimage path, I have invited and chosen to walk a pilgrim's path each and every day of my life.  I am a pilgrim even when I am "home", or perhaps especially when I am at home.  When I disconnect from my "pilgrim", I tend to become stagnant, lethargic, and complacent.    My pilgrim is the aspect of me that is committed to my soul's evolution in this human body.  She brings the two aspects together for me.  I have a habit of existing in the spiritual worlds and I am challenged by the physical, material world.  Walking and even more specifically, walking a sacred path, whether is a sacred path such as the Camino, Saints Path, St. Michael's Way, the Mary Michael Pilgrims Way, or a labyrinth in my back yard, actually serves as a bridge for me to be aware of walking on this beautiful planet, in the material physical world that can be both so beautiful, nurturing, and alive and at the same time, so challenging, demanding, hard and unfathomable.  I have been told that I am like a "blue light that hovers above the earth, above the material plane, that looks down and says 'it's awfully dense down there'."   So often, this is how it feels, and why I have chosen avoidance, ignorance, isolation and disconnection as my tools to survive a world I don't understand and don't necessarily want to be a part of.

Yet…yet.

My soul's insistence that I walk is actually serving to bring me down to Earth and to invite me to connect with abundance and joy of this material dimension. It is actually more insistent than an invitation. It is a command, an invitation that does not accept "no" as a response!  

No journey is a straight line.  You may think that you are going from point A to point B, yet the journey is a path of spirals, and twists and turns, that gift you with more than you can ever imagine, in ways that you never thought possible, all in its own good timing.  

So here I am, after four years of walking sacred pilgrimages, of walking with a group, three different partners at three different times, and by myself, and over one thousand kilometers of walking under my feet, and I feel as though I have just turned the first curve of the spiral and fully stepped into the core purpose and intention of my being a pilgrim.  

And to be able and willing to do this, I had to walk by myself and heal my root chakra, and plug into the core of myself, my tap root that is connected to the Earth, the Stars, and my authentic Self.  All of the miles before this were to get to me to this so that I can truly walk my soul's journey.  To do this, I have to tell the truth, confront my demons, acknowledge my secrets and shadows, all that I have previously avoided, and come out into the sunlight, and walk and to take the next step, one step at a time.

Matter matters.

This is the core of the next leg of my journey.

Matter matters.  My body matters.  Money matters.  The Earth matters.  Matter matters.

It may be dense.  It may be uncomfortable.  It may be demanding.  It may be ugly.  It may be beautiful.  It may be scary.  It may be mean and unloving.  Not the matter itself, but my experience of this dense realm with mankind's crazy and destructive ways of interacting with it, taking from it, having dominion over it.  My intention is to allow all of it, and to nourish and feed the beauty, joy, love that is here.

I get to contribute the beauty, joy and love that does exist in this material plane and nourish it so that it can expand and evolve, and that that "matter matters" becomes the dominant paradigm for every one everywhere.  

I get to be the bridge between the spiritual and the material.  Not only get to, but I AM the bridge.  

And to fully embody and embrace this, I am choosing to use the tool of MONEY.  What more of reviled, misunderstood, abused, manipulated aspect of matter could I ask for as my partner?  

I am choosing to partner with Money. Money that has been the bane, challenge, villain, bully of my existence.  Money that I have avoided, ignored, disconnected from, isolated from with all of my energy, willpower and very convincing, lofty, and spiritual arguments.

Money, will you partner with me on this pilgrimage?  Will you join me on this journey?  On this journey where I will want to push you off the bridge and do it all by myself?  On this journey where I am terrified of you joining me on it?  Where I would rather do anything but have you join me, but recognizing that doing it, actually anything without you, only gets me so far, and truthfully, only gets me in more debt and bondage?  

Somedays, I may walk with you by my side.  Other days, I may walk as far away from you as I can.  Most days, especially at the beginning, I may not even want you there.  But will you walk with me anyway? And will you walk with me out of an intention larger than me and you?  Will you walk with me out of our commitment to Global and Personal Prosperity - for each and every person on the planet, so that everyone knows - no matter where they live, who they are, what they "do" - that they can receive and experience financial freedom, empowerment, abundance, and the most loving, reciprocal, supportive, creative relationship?  

Will you walk with me, please?

I want to build and create with you.  I want to work with you.  I want to release my old programs around money and contribute to creating a new relationship and paradigm with you.  I want to experience, and know that You are Love, just as I am, and to know this in every cell and in the core of my being.  This is my intention.  And the way that I know to do this is to walk, to walk a pilgrimage with you, Money.  Pilgrimage is the way that I invite and embody change, transformation and evolution, and I invite you to join me.

Will you walk with me please?

What does this mean?

Every day, I write, share, expose, tell the total truth about my relationship with you, take full responsibility with it, and allow you to inform, relate, guide, connect with me. Everyday you walk with me, and guide, inform, relate with and partner with me, and you do not allow me to ignore, avoid or disconnect from you.

How do you do this?

That when I honor our relationship, you show up - physically for me, in the form of money - however you choose to do this.  

And to honor our relationship, I begin my day with you, writing, walking, and asking you what you want from me, for me to do that day. And I do it.  One day at a time.  One step at at time.  And I write and share it all every day.  No masks.  No hiding.  No making nice and presentable.  I share all of this journey - in open and complete vulnerability.

And that when I don't honor you, or our relationship - you don't show up.  Simple.  No money that day.

I walk through writing.  I write this Journey with Money everyday, and share the gifts, challenges, vulnerabilities, wins and successes, all of it.  I expose myself, my shadows, my fears, I break all of my rules around money, I expose all of my crazy behaviors and beliefs around money - all of the things I have kept hidden in the deep recesses of my being and not shared with anyone out of shame, blame, and fear.

With the intention to know that who you are is Love.  And just as I have reconnected with my taproot, of who I truly am as a deeply spiritual being who is also deeply rooted in this Earth, and that contact point for entering the Earth realm is Restormel, I also will contribute to your reconnecting with your taproot and your spiritual roots so that a paradigm shift occurs with the planet's and its peoples relationships with you.  That no longer can you just be a material entity with no heart and feelings, and be scapegoated as the villain.    That you get to be the Hero.

That together, we become the Heroine and the Hero of our own stories, lives and in embodying this, we literally turn the global relationship with you, Money, right side up.  Together.  We are FINANCIAL TRANSFORMATION AND EVOLUTION.  Together, we right what has been distorted and wronged for so many thousands of years, and reconnect you, and me, with our roots in the Earth and her sacred being, and once again, belong and be an integral part of what is sacred, right, beautiful, and joyous in this amazing world we live in, we live on, and are a part of.  

You in?

I am in.  You in?

I am in.  I am on this journey fully.  Two feet on the path of this pilgrimage with Money, Prosperity, Abundance, and Walking into Right Relationship with Money, Abundance and Financial Alchemy.

Here's a quote from the guidebook for the Mary Michael Pilgrim's Way that I will be walking in June.  This quote speaks to me of why I walk sacred pilgrimages...what calls me and invites me to spend my days walking an ancient and sacred path.

    I love to walk.  I love to write.
     

    I am a pilgrim. 
    I am a Womb Shaman.
    I am the Feminine Christ Awakened.  
    ​I am becoming the Feminine Christ Embodied. 


    I walk the sacred spirals of the ancient pilgrimage paths and sacred sites along the "dragon" ley lines of the Earth.  I walk local paths. I walk to be in Nature.  I walk labyrinths and spirals. I walk to move and celebrate my body. I walk to come home to the truth of who I truly am, to connect with the Earth and Spirit, and to live my life aligned with my soul's path.
