Musings and Journaling!
Hello *|FNAME|*!
A quick email to you to share our new registration date for my weekly journaling class:
From the Body to the Page!
New sessions start January 3rd…
How would you like to join my weekly writing/journaling class? We’ve been meeting every Tuesday for about 1 ½ years, with some of the same writers/journalers/poets, and some drop-in drifters… all good… powerful, evocative, challenging, game-changing…
I share prompts–poetic, sensory, illogical and magical, with different ideas for characters, types of writing, self-care inspirations, emotional changes, and so much more… a great time to check in with yourself, connect in our magical circle, and give yourself an hour of quality time.
Heather writes in one of our classes, from a prompt…
“When you change your stance, who you are changes in your dance.
You open up, become something new, earn your wings, learn to fly. Emerge from the chrysalis. Like a dancer, we must be fluid, flowing, letting life and experiences wash over us as music does to the dancer. If a dancer is rigid, they can’t move – with or without a partner – they are locked in place, frozen in that moment. We must keep that rigidity away – avoid it. Keep trying new stances, new poses, new movements, try new things, push the boundaries of self-discovery so that we can keep moving, and keep flowing with the everyday rhythm of life around us.
And then we fully participate in all of the wonder of the world around us – sensing and feeling the connection to others and exploring our unique experience. We create the library that is ourselves – each chapter of each book filled with new stances, new figures, new poses of what we are.”
In our classes, we use the spirit of adventure and curiosity, journeying into ourselves, into our brain, body, and spirit… We light up our ideas, our self-expressions, illuminating a new path! So much fun…
and a COMMITMENT to self…( there’s my word of 2023!)
Taking time for yourself, just one hour a week, with us, and any more time you want to keep on writing!!!
So take a deep breath, step out of your comfort zone, grab your journal, get your shimmer on, open up for adventure and curiosity, and join us… weekly classes, Tuesdays, 3:00 pm PST on Zoom
New sessions start January 3rd…

Honor your Magic
How many of you women entrepreneurs find find this time of year, winter, the darker nights, the shorter, colder days, and often grayer days, hard? Hard to wake up, to get motivated, to sit at your desk with all the lights on? Ready to go to bed at 8 because it’s been dark for hours?
I know I do, here in Palm Springs. Of course, now, around the holiday season, it is delightful, and helpful, to get seduced by the twinkling of the holiday lights flickering around town or even around your home, inside and out. The candle light both early morning during my meditation and yoga, journaling practice, and at night while cooking, eating, and reading, is always calming and beautiful. A form of magic. The roasting veggies and delicious soups are heart and body warming. And in some way, the chill keeps me inside working, as opposed to the sun and heat that calls me out into my garden to toil away the hours or invites me on my glamping road trips.
But really, that beautiful feeling of magic, still, and always, has to first come from within! Outside inspiration is eternally desired, but staying connected to oneself is where the magic lays, starts, and expands.
Truly one of my hardcore values, is to live with everyday magic. To find the twinkle, the sparkle, the awe in everything I do, what and who I surround myself with. To live lit up everyday.
That comes from a huge gratitude practice. Taking stock, noticing, being uber present, conscious, of what and why I do what I do, for whom Ido it for, where I am in life, and what is life giving to me. There is so much magic out there.
Magic in many forms. Magic of the leaf unfurling, and the changes in the garden, but also the magic of the raising energy we create, making what we love happen, sharing with others, opening our eyes, and listening to what is on the inside, what we are truly desiring to give to the world. Our gift is our magic.
Staying connected, even on those darker days can be tricky, so asking for help on a project, getting a coach for some guidance and new tools, and even getting out to have lunch with a friend, is important, right? But staying connected to oneself first and foremost is where your magic starts.
I so believe that moving the body is a major factor too. I see lots of older folk who get very comfortable on the couch. (know anyone like that?). For fear of being seen, for fear of injury, or just being too dang comfy. When is the last time you danced around your kitchen? Or went out to a club to bust a move? Or took a tai chi class? To move your body. Think of that beautiful energy you raise within when you move your body. And the magic you can create by raising that energy and getting more connected!
We are all composed of these human muscles, bones, and skin, that need to move along with what’s on the inside of the brain and the soul. So I invite you to find that movement that rocks your spirit, remember the dancing days of your youth, try a little something different and find your rhythm so you can get unstuck and keep your momentum and your connection moving into magic! Your magic, your shine! Raise your energy, and it will expand your whole being.
Here is a quote from one of my heroes:
“An excuse is simply a challenge that you’ve decided has power over you.
If you’re serious about changing your life, you’ll find a way past all your obstacles:
if you’re kinda sorta serious about changing your life, you’ll find an excuse.
In other words, excuses are fake news. “
Jen Sincero
Keep that everyday morning ritual of meditation, journaling, moving the body, and setting your day up for success. Those are my methods and magic-making tools, and boy howdy, when I don’t stick to them, it’s easy to fall into distraction and despair and depression. Following me?
But following a regime, a bit of structure, and disciplining oneself to do what feels really good, will make a huge difference in your body, brain, and life! Instead of falling on the couch in fear or stagnation, which won’t get you feeling good at all, right? It takes envisioning the outcome, what you are desiring to change, to step up into. To free your spirit and your body with movement.
Ok, I’ve got one more quote:
“The dominant motives of humankind involve either freedom or fear,
there are no other pathways in our psychology.
One demands engagement with our true self and ambitions and inevitably leads to
independence, growth, happiness, and transcendence.
The other causes us to skirt around challenges,
avoiding struggle as much as possible-despite struggle being the very thing required for growth. This path leads to weakness, conformity, and frequently, regret.
Through the pursuit of personal freedom,
we discover our destiny, through fear, we look at our demise.”
Brendon Burchard
So freedom, everyday magic, to live lit up, and expand into all that we can be, all that we desire, and to be truly connected, mind, body, spirit. Sounds great right? So, my friend, take time to find that commitment to yourself, to your own practice, to find your magic, so you can shine your light, even on the darkest of days!
And don’t forget to step outside to bathe under the full moon tomorrow!
Wishing you always great love…

Commitment to Self
What it means to me, this time of year…
it is the gathering
of thoughts, ideas, and inspirations to come
it is the collecting
of the finished or started or continuation of all that I do
the love, the self-love, the bad-assery, the cozying down, and the stirring it up
the quiet and the wild
the black and blonde
the instigation and the revelations,
with the revolutions and the evolutions
identifying the legacy, naming naming naming
what I want, need
desire
to be, to do, and how to live
to the breaking open and the illuminating
to the moving forward with grace,
from the heart, really from the heart
to say no, not anymore
and to say YES, bring it on…step it up…
believe
BELIEVE
and COMMIT
Commitment to self
the songs can stop
but come again
the words flow with trepidation, no more…
it is the sway and the sashay
the beauty in your eye
the new way you walk and lead
and say yes, or, no
it is the jingle of the shimmy and your openness
your devotion to yourself, the dance, and me
YOU
I see your potential
your glow, your sparkle
and your desire
and your sublime intent
growing from the core
I thank you
for allowing
I thank me for asking
searching
tearing apart
for beauty and soul
and the healing touch
the glance inside and out
with the rise of the chest
the breath
the nuance of change to come
the passion as it streams out
forever grateful…
Wishing you always great love…

Yes, you are creative!
Yes, you are creative!
What do I mean when I say I move from chaos into creativity? From Chaos to Creativity, is what I call my free coaching consult, because I want to help you move into your creative zone of genius.,the new life you want to create.
Have you ever had that feeling of confusion,
of not knowing which way to turn next,
or what you want to be as you get older?
Lots of jumbling and rumbling going on in your head and doesn’t that feel chaotic?
It’s time to turn that chaos into clarity and creative ideas and order and most importantly, fun!
And you say, I’m not creative! Everyone is creative, my friend, because you are creating your life as you live, every day. You GET to create how you want to live, what you want to do, how you want to be in this world, every day.
As we get older, we change, shift, move forward. Or at least we want to. Things feel different. Our bodies act differently. Relationships are different. Things that used to be important, don’t feel that way anymore. There is clutter, inside and out…
You know you want to live a fuller, happier, different life than the one you’ve been living. Because you have lived that already.
What is that quote that Mary Oliver said?
“Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?”
It’s time to create another part of our life. To experience more of life. Do you feel that? Are you dreaming of something new? You want to live differently because perhaps your values have changed, or your health is shifiting, your ideas of abundance are different now. You are more curious, want to quiet down, or perhaps live more loud and boldly.
Ever feel rebellious toward making a change? Rewriting a plan for yourself because you are so spontaneous feels hard and not doable? Or making a change feels like even more chaos?
This is where I come into your life! As a multi-passionate woman, a dancer, healer, businesswoman, poet, and a chameleon of life, that’s what makes me a fantastic coach for creating healing change. Because I’ve been through a lot of that chaos too. And I have found ways and tools to make change. (See my fourth book– From Soulless Job to Creative Abundance ) Because I can help you see a new path, a way to make more money, or change your lifestyle, find more pleasure, to be a more joyous you.
Ultimately that is the goal of life. To live with joy, To live every day with magic and happiness. To make a difference in the world. To move body, mind, and spirit. To create momentum and step into more of you. And that is creative, and that is you designing your life, now, as you are getting older, to follow those desires, that dream you had.
Because you can. This is your life!
I am here to support you, to share tools, to help you create a new MAP- Magic Action Plan, and create the life you want to move into. Try those things that perhaps you were fearful of trying.
Fear is a great catalyst for change! Questioning the unknown, stepping into the dark. Yes, that can be fearful, but we can break through that block, that bit of self-sabotage so you can feel your magic unfold, and move from those ideas or that chaos in your mind to real action.
What have you been wanting? Let’s dive in…and create the life you desire now.
Here is what you can do next: You can schedule a time to talk with me to see what is next for you and how I can help as your coach. Click here to schedule, it is free and I’d love to show you how to be a possibilitarian! Bring your creativity out and rewrite your story! Break through the fear and have fun. Feel the love, my friend. Let’s do this together…
Know that I am here to support you, to share ideas, because I want to see you shine your light, to illuminate your dreams, to stop the self-sabotage into your desires. You are part of this community, online, that I love sharing life’s journeys with. We are all part of one big circle, and every one of us is important to that circle of life.

Heart and Hustle with today’s guest, Sara J McElroy, A Member of the Great Resignation!
Breakdown to Breathrough… that’s what Sara has been through and has come out shining with passion and a purpose!!! Corporate to quitting…knowing when to leave your job to follow your dreams…That’s what Sara is all about.
She went from being perpetually exhausted to quitting her job and trekking through Peru to heal! She moved to another state, got another job, and started the hamster wheel again. So she resigned one more time, what she calls the Great Resignation! How many of you are feeling that way?
Enjoy our conversation today, and check out what Sara is doing now too.

Or here to listen on SoundCloud
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
More about Sara:
She is a journalist and founder of the RAZE TO RISE project, a movement aimed at amplifying the powerful voices of women from the Great Resignation!
A former hustle culture devotee, ex-chief marketing officer, the Wall Street Journal’sposter girl for pandemic career burnout, and a two-time member of the Great Resignation: class of 2021 and 2022. Following a stress-induced shingles diagnosis in early 2021, Sara decided to hit the reset button on her life; she quit her hard-won CMO job and trekked to Peru’s Sacred Valley to reset her frayed nervous system. When she returned, she relocated from the buzzy metropolis of Atlanta to the beach in South Florida for a new job and a fresh start. But she once again encountered deeply ingrained cultural issues in her new role, and ultimately, she walked away again. Finding herself in the company of millions of other women who also set unfulfilling jobs ablaze during the Great Resignation, she returned to her journalism roots and began to explore the stories, breaking points, and defining moments that led women to seek greater opportunity mid-pandemic. These conversations became the genesis of Raze to Rise – an organization created to amplify women’s voices from the Great Resignation and inspire others to blaze new trails in their own careers. webSaraJMcElroy.comwebRazetoRise.cominsta:@sarajmcelroylinkedIn:SaraJMcElroy~~~
As always, I hope you enjoy this conversation! I am so glad to have you on my journey of exploration and creativity…
Have a great week, my friend!

Another fabulous special Heart and Hustle episode with Cinzia DiCioccio
Heart and Hustle– another special edition!
I interview Master Teacher and Leader, from Italy,
Cinzia DiCioccio!
I just love to interview, hear, and share these stories. We not only talk about our Gathering event coming up, but we talk about our aging bodies of being a dancer. How we have to change up our workout and style and dance and even be more loving and self-caring of our bodies!
We are always evolving bodies, and how our energy changes too. What a beautiful vision too, to honor all the phases of our feminine womanhood, maiden, mother, to crone…
plus the opportunities that have come to all of us to gather together, online, the global tribes, many of you have met each other, some of you have wanted to meet each other, or had the chance to study with someone different. Lots of new ideas, some tried and true steps, carrying on the legacy of Global Caravan ( at one time, Gypsy Caravan) and watching the beautiful evolution of creative integrity!
I just love to see what all of my certified Master Teachers are bringing to the dance, and how they have evolved as their own tribe leaders, business owners, women entrepreneurs!
One collective soul and many bodies!

Do you believe it to see it? or…
Hello beauty…
Last week we talked about who and what you surround yourself with, to inspire and uplift you, instead of drag you down… and how it might be time to declutter yourself, your home, your body, your acquaintances. Lighten the load, baby!
This brings you room for dreaming. When you create more space, do you feel that release of old weight, old stories? It opens you up to listen to those desires that have been on the back burner. Creating some changes. Asking for new things. Dreaming of the things and people you want to be with, be around, and where you want to go. With your life, your vacations, your bucket list, your work. What are your possibilities now that you have lightened up?
You need to create space for those fresh dreams, right? So, as you step into that downtime for dreaming, yes, it really helps to sit down and give yourself some time to close your eyes, and daydream!
What are you wishing for? What is on your bucket list? NOT your to-do list. But your list of desires. Let’s just rename that bucket list… List of desires!
What have you been wanting to do? Where are you desiring to visit? Who do you want to see? This is time for you to step into what pleasures you, or could pleasure you even more! Woo hoo… that’s what I’m talking about. I want you to make a list.
What? Maybe you want to visit the museum. How about a trip to Thailand? Or get a massage? Or cook a vegan meal for your family? Or get new clients? Or share your poetry? Or quit your job, buy a camper van, and travel around the country for a year? What, lovey?
When you think of those things, do you believe you can do them? How bad do you want them? Can you envision them for yourself? This is soooooo important. To see yourself doing these things, or being with these people, or growing your business, or starting your new dance classes.
Believing in yourself and that you are open to receiving these opportunities, is key!
That means stepping into your desires, embodying them, and feeling them not only in your head but your heart and soul and belly and body! Asking the universe for what you want and allowing your possibilities to unfold for you…
This feels so delicious! And you can do it, you can have it, you can ask for what you want. Believe it before you see it, there it is, waiting for you… to take the steps (nope, it won’t be handed to you on a silver platter!) to get there, mark it in your calendar, buy the ticket, make the phone call, go grocery shopping, whatever will take you another step into those dreams! Believe that you can have it, because you desire it and it will be so amazing…
You want to continue to feed yourself to bring you joy and to feel freaking great. You’ve got this, you are on your path!
Like I always say,
Movement creates momentum creates your everyday magic!
Today is your day. Make it the best day of your life, my friend.
Have a great week! and go make your list of desires…
Follow my instagram for more love messages and inspirations!
““““`
If you are wanting support around taking these steps for yourself, your well-being, and your abundance, I would love to be your coach, who helps guide you into those desires, to make those changes, to give you the tools and has your back… You can email me back here so we can talk about how to move forward with success and joy!
Or book a free call with me to see what is next for you…
