Follow Your Bliss


My heart feels like it's cracking open. "Follow your bliss", "Let what you love the most be your guide", or "Whatever brings you the most joy, do that".

These were all phrases that I, and most of us have heard over the years. I've always nodded my head in response, with an "Of course, why wouldn't I do that!?" feeling inside. And then just moved about my business, not even realizing I had pushed away the very things that brought me the most joy long ago. *Face palm*.

Through deeper inquiry, and the way in which "life" (more like spirit, or God, or whatever you want to call it) seems to cause uphevel if you're not actually getting it in the way your suppose to happens, I'm finally beginning to receive the meaning of these statements in a way they were actually intended.

So out go all the rules. Off goes the TV. Away with the naysayers and haters. Good bye old yuck filled stories and programs running in my head. They no longer have a say in my life, or in the actions I choose to take.

I'm now letting Spirit be my guide in full force, and it is hands down the most fucking amazing, beautiful, gorgeous, wild, heart expanding ride of my life.

Since being sick, flat on my back in bed for two weeks (thank you Spirit for hitting me over the head with that one!😘), I've allowed this opening within to occur, and said YES to what my heart and soul and has been asking for all these years.

It just so happens that creating art and expressing through words and mixed media happens to be my jam. Part of what my soul/higher self came here to do, and fills me with more joy than I ever thought possible. And so I am doing it!

This painting is a piece I've been working on for a class, and has been a beautiful process of self discovery and surprises. Connecting into the art by placing our hands on canvas, getting messy, allowing the pieces to come alive and tell a story...it's unlike anything I've experienced before.

I (my personality/ego/whatever you want to call it), doesn't choose what I create now. I put my hands on canvas, connect deep within, and allow what wants to come forth to come forth.

In this particular piece, after working on it for a while, an image of a faery or angel kept coming to me. I argued with my spirit team, saying how "I wasn't good enough to paint something like that". Well they kept insisting, so I finally gave in, and to my surprise in went better than I ever excpected! (As things do when you let go of the fucking reins of control : )

Archangel Michael, along with words I didn't plan on appeared on my canvas.  Blew my mind as I've always painted female faces figures in the past. #spiritsurprisesarethebest

And so my journey inwards continues, and am over the moon excited to see where it leads.

May we all head the call of our hearts, what brings us the most joy, and ignites the light of our soul within. Best ride EVER.

Love and more love Xoxo

PS. Etsy shop coming soon!! (Another epic Spirit surprise : )

Letting Everything Take You Higher

So I had BIG plans. My family that I nanny for surprised me with an extra week paid vacation last week, and I about exploded in happiness when they told me. #bestnannysupriseever. I made plans to fill my days getting together with friends, going on fun dates, and excursions to all my favorite places; lakes, hiking trails, maybe even the beach. My last day of work rolled around, and I got off early. Instant inspiration hit me to drive to Hagg Lake to go swimming. It was a hot day for Portland, I had never been, and thought it would be the perfect start to my vacation. The drive through the countryside felt like the most incredible, divine, deeply nourishing experience my body and spirit had been craving. Nothing but open roads, rolling green fields, warm wind blowing on my face, sun on my skin.. pure bliss. And then right when I got to the toll booth at the lake..spirit surprise!! My car starting blinking letting me know I had a flat tire. Turns out Spirit had other pla

Adventures in the Dating World and the Golden Rule

Image
A woman I had been dating brought to my attention on a Thursday night that she did not feel ready to move forward in relationship (ie: "wanted to keep things casual, and didn’t want something serious” ), and so we agreed to part ways. This particular scenario, or some version of it happened to be a recurring theme in my dating life. You can imagine how overjoyed by this I was. Even after I thought I had been SO careful to “not allow something like this in” Ha! Big wake up call for me here : what needs to be seen/healed ALWAYS finds a way in. *Something to note here: recurring themes are HUGE signs letting us know that we have work to do in this particular area, and it will keep coming back around until it's fully healed and cleared within us. Hence why some people keep attracting the same ish over and over and over. BIG spirit truth here: It's not “them”, its us. Sorry to burst your bubble, ha! Well in all honesty, it is a two way street in the sense that

Spirit-led Travel

Rolling out of bed on a Sunday morning with a few more days left to go before heading back to work (thank you most epic nanny job ever!), I felt a deep call within to spend the day at a beautiful place called Lost Lake up near Mt. Hood. I hadn't been in ages, and just couldn't pass this idea up. I had been feeling way out of sorts in my body, in particular in relationship to the season beginning to shift into fall. Never before had I experienced this feeling to such a degree. I've always loved and celebrated the seasons changing! But this year a large part of me for whatever reason didn't receive the full experience of summer that it needed to, and so I had been a bit out of sorts by fall already approaching. I arrived at Lost Lake in the early afternoon, sunshine bright and beaming with clear, crisp, almost Autumn air all around. Everything within me exhaled in a big sigh of relief. I felt that deep YES within. My spirit team (so freaking amazing they are)
