Lion’s Gate and Monday Manifestation!
Lion’s Gate and Monday Manifestation!
It’s time to Manifest!
Hello love and happy Monday…
And it’s about today being Lion’s Gate… August 8th…
(really this period goes from July 28 through August 12, but today is the most powerful day!)
A time for you to call in what you are wanting… and create it!
It’s also the Strength card in the tarot, with the Lion and goddess, and is about overcoming obstacles, being courageous, and gaining mastery over your emotions and ideas.
What have you been desiring?
Do you know? Can you connect with your deeper self, your heart and soul, and know what you want next? Perhaps you want more time to acknowledge making a change. Or have you been afraid to ask for what you are truly wanting? I ask you to take some time today, just for yourself, and get out your journal, or a notepad, and write a list of some of those things you would like, or all of them, or just one big one!
A new creative adventure, a new car, a new job, more cashola, a stronger body, more quiet time, a lifestyle coach (!), your own business, more clients, time to honor yourself, etc…
What? And why today?
Today is auspicious because of the extra energy swirling around. Lion’s Gate is when Leo Sun, Sirius star, and Orion’s Belt are all lining up with our Mother Earth. This is a day to bring in some extra Leo the Lion energy – full of power, transformation, passion, sexuality, generosity, creativity and LOVE! Create a portal of energy…
Manifesting what you desire is about knowing what it is, knowing why you want it, and asking for it. Believing in yourself and your dreams and being willing to step up, sometimes out of your comfort zone, sometimes by investing in yourself, sometimes asking for help, and allowing yourself time and space for moving forward.
You can become a magnet for what you ask for! So take some time today, this week, to focus on those dreams, more intensely, with more clarity, and know that you are worth all of it. Focus! Ask, baby!
How’s that for a little Monday motivation?
~~~~~~~~
And my friend, if you are wanting some support and guidance for those next steps toward your desires, or want some more clarity and tools to make a change, schedule in that free consult call with me…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just look at these sunglasses! What is your favorite?
~~~~~~~~~
And some Ramblings with my oracle cards and spirit guides, I am still spending more time daily, meditating, journeying, going deep, revamping my healing practice with my coaching offerings for you, and for me!
Journaling, poetry, life shorts…
I am walking in the woods, breathing deep, listening,
Sitting on the rocks by the slowly running creek
Breathing in renewing life force, energy, fresh insights
The smell of the blue skies is clean, clear, crisp
Peeking through the branches
Freshly cut grass fills up my senses, in the distant wheat fields
And the smell of the earth is musty, real, brown dirt and root chakras
Wafting up into a cloak
To encircle me, protect me, lead me
Like the hermit, wrapped in love and the wings of the owl
I move forward
My grandmother is driving me around in a big lincoln
To my next destination
My ceremony, asking why and how
I run with the diamond tigers
No longer needing the past
The medicine is a sensual hunger for continuing life and experiences
I feel that ferocious compassion, the passion of grace and fulfillment
Renewed and reborn
I am the sacred activist, the sacred rebel, the raging sage
I honor the necessity of continuous creative and soul expression
~~~~~~~~~~~
My wish for you:
May you have a blessed weekend, and may you tune in and listen deep to your desires, take action, take care, move that body, ask for what you are wanting, and have a great time doing all of it!

Heart and Hustle with Bodytypology Expert, Sue-Anne Hickey
Is it time to refocus on your body? Tune in and turn on to the way you want to be in your body?
Today’s guest tells us about her methods of bodytypology for losing weight and feeling great. Have a listen to how Sue-Anne changed her life, from hypoglycemia, crashing energy, mood swings, eczema, and eating crap, to a super healthy naturopath.
Transformation! Working with the methods of eating healthy and feeling balanced… eating right for your body type! And this works with your glands… And now she works as a coach, with clients helping them learn about their body types and food intake, what and when to eat, and live with vitality!…
We talk… about RTT – Rapid Transformational Therapy… adding this to her methods of coaching. Plus how she started her business, hired a coach, learned how to get her business going, and the big part of developing her own self-confidence… and I always bring up what we can do for the important self-care.
Fascinating story, and I love to share it! Let us know your takeaways from this conversation.
Curious about your own bodyype? Check out Sue-Anne’s pages, and her work…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
More about Sue-Anne:
In 2006, I decided to extend my expertise in natural healing and started training as a naturopath.
Eating right for my body type completely transformed my health, my energy skyrocketed, my hypoglycaemia was a thing of the past, my eczema disappeared and never came back, my energy skyrocketed and I never felt better.
I knew I had to share this with as many people as possible.
So I created Bodytypology:
System for Lasting Weight Loss
A personalized healthy eating weight loss system that works better than any diet.
Drop the pounds easily as you learn to nourish your body with the right foods at the right time.
The plan is easy to follow so you are sure to succeed!
It provides you with specific foods to eat for breakfast lunch and dinner. Nourish your body to lose weight without using unhealthy meal replacement shakes or bars that slow down your metabolism and make long term weight loss impossible.

What is rocking my world–Doing Something Different!
July 22nd
What is rocking your world this week?
I’ve been doing weeks of road tripping traveling! From Palm Springs to tiki bars to visiting friends to our family cottage on a small lake in Coloma, Wisconsin, to Madison with friends, to Chicago with my brother from another and his gal, and now to Columbus Ohio to stay for a awhile and help my mom!
What have you done differently this week? I love this idea of DSD, Do Something Different, whether that be in how you run your business, or what you do for fun, or what?
What happens when you do something different? You might get your heart rate up and sweat a bit out of nervousness, you might get exhilarated from something so fun, you might do something and hate it, so many options. But I love stepping out and trying something, perhaps something I thought I would never do… or just never had the opportunity. For one, driving across country is a whole new adventure, and is begin super fabulous.
Some of the things I have done, outside of my everyday normal:
Gorgeous country road cruisingFamous tiki bar visiting and tasting their MaiTais ( Jeff’s still rock)Enjoying the ever-changing beautiful landscapes this country offers usKayaking in the early morning on a quiet lakeWriting more poetry and more journalingPlaying Yahtzee until late in the night with good friends with tears of laughter rolling down my faceReading and napping ( well, I do that a lot at home too!)Happy hour cruising on the lake with my other brother from another and a glass of wineHiking to the point in MadisonThunderstormsLightning bugs Sitting on the lake with friends in Madison, which is a totally rocking townEbike riding around the townSupper club martinisThriftingImprovisational dive bar and pool playingBowling and more bowling, which I now am obsessed withCountry bar karaoke ( NOPE!)Wallpaper obsessionsAnd more thriftingSo, what are you DSD this week? It will change your energy, your perspective, and your desires! I promise…
Then let me know what you did! Or want to do…

Weekly Musings and Mary Oliver
July 21st
Greetings from Chicago…
Taking some time this morning, with my cuppa, to bring you one of my fav poets, Mary Oliver… Do you know her work?
“Her poetry combines dark introspection with joyous release. It assumes a close relationship between women and nature, she found that the self is only strengthened through an immersion with nature. Oliver is known for her unadorned language and accessible themes.”
Mary Oliver
The Summer Day
Who made the world?
Who made the swan, and the black bear?
Who made the grasshopper?
This grasshopper, I mean –
the one who has flung herself out of the grass,
the one who is eating sugar out of my hand,
who is moving her jaws back and forth instead of up and down –
who is gazing around with her enormous and complicated eyes.
Now she lifts her pale forearms and thoroughly washes her face.
Now she snaps her wings open, and floats away.
I don’t know exactly what a prayer is.
I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down
into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass,
how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields,
which is what I have been doing all day.
Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn’t everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?
+ Mary Oliver
~~~~~~~
And I love this book! Devotions
“Today is a day like any other: twenty-four hours, a little sunshine, a little rain. Listen, says ambition, nervously shifting her weight from one boot to another—why don’t you get going? For there I am, in the mossy shadows, under the trees. And to tell the truth I don’t want to let go of the wrists of idleness, I don’t want to sell my life for money, I don’t even want to come in out of the rain.”
― Mary Oliver, Devotions: The Selected Poems of Mary Oliver
~~~~~~
“Maybe our world will grow kinder eventually. Maybe the desire to make something beautiful is the piece of God that is inside each of us.”
― Mary Oliver, Devotions: The Selected Poems of Mary Oliver
~~~~~~
“I tell you this to break your heart, by which I mean only that it break open and never close again to the rest of the world.”
― Mary Oliver, Devotions: The Selected Poems of Mary Oliver
~~~~~
And here is a clip read by
Saoirse’s Shelf On YouTube

Roadtrip views, blues, and the mess of possibilities, July 18th
Roadtrip views, blues, and the mess of possibilities! July 18
Happy Monday!
My ramblings again, as I move through my holiday days…meditating, reading, listening…words, insights, phrases… take a line or a word or the whole thing, and see what it brings up for you… journal with it, paint with it, dance to it…
~~~~~~
Sitting by the lake
Meeting your mind
Images of consciousness
Meditation the art of doing nothing
Seeking and searching for satisfaction
Daydreaming and choiceless awareness
Unobstructed views
Recognize the possibilities and experiences
Doing nothing is everything
~~~~~~~
#44 Earth Goddess
Dreams to become real life
Experiences of heaven on earth
Take the visions out of your head
Taking practical earthly steps
Take action when the time is right
Manifest your vision
Acknowledge your creative power
You are a lightworker
As you shift from fear to love
Healing the self and the earth mama
Fulfill your divine life purpose
Practical, spiritual, and positive
The heart is the gateway to divine union
As you enter into your own heart
Noone like you, no one has your quirks
You are a divine alchemy of flesh and bones and spirit and energy and love
Unlock and unleash, your sacred rebel and your wild beauty
Celebrate
~~~~~~~~~
Early morning sun, the eagle flies
Country tunes, tears, beers, and bloodies
You always go against the grain
Creating commotion
Co-motion (that’s my jam)
Yes
Gathering and causing group movement
Radical dreaming
Brining the light yet still
Feeling the lonely
Seeking and forging different paths
Making the impossible possible
The essence of creativity
Deep beneath the waters
Feeling the flow and the ease of surrender to the new sensual
Agitator, instigator, motivator
Shaking it up
A catalyst for feminine celebration
Preaching the work of ahimsa
Earth sacredness and connection
In a world that hurts my heart, daily
The unconscious consumption of the privileged
I can’t be dulled down, I can’t allow that pain to stop me
It can be a beautiful chaos
Before the clarity hits
Alignment within and without
I want the wild butterflies to join in my world of
Envisioning, healing, and creative energy
With that way of graceful flow
In the river of life, the individual journey
For fulfillment and love
Being open to life
~~~~~
Thank you my friend, enjoy your week…

QUOTES
Derek Sivers : “Life can be improved by adding, or by subtracting. The world pushes us to add, because that benefits them. But the secret is to focus on subtracting.”
“To me, ‘busy’ implies that the person is out of control of their life.” – Derek Sivers

Abraham:
“You can say things like, “As I look at successful people, and by that I mean rich people, yes, and I mean happy people, and sometimes they’re rich and happy.” But when I’m talking about the successful ones, what I really mean is the really happy people. People that are really joyful, that want to get up every day, that are eager to get into their day. Almost without exception, they had a pretty rough beginning, which turned them into a powerful rebel initially. And then they found a way to relax into their natural birthright of Well-being.”
~~~~~~~
RECIPES:
What are your fav kitchen gadgets?
I use my Vitamix almost daily- smoothies, soups, sauces, and if not that my food processor- nut sauces and cheeses, and since I am the chili and soup queen, I’ve been using my centuries old slow cooker/crock pot, that is now falling apart!
But what about the new air fryers? Or the instant pots?
I also bought a korean wok last year, that is my daily go to on the stove…

Joanne Molinari ( the Korean Vegan) talks about the work/life balance and gives some great tips!
What do you think of these? Any you agree or disagree with? Any additions you would add?
“the American worker has been trained to believe their worth is directly a function of their productivity. While corporations attempt to pay more than lip service to the elusive “work/life balance,” there are a few things we can do independent of systematic labor reform to try to ensure that we aren’t running straight towards a brick wall:
Trust your instincts. In your gut, you know when something is abnormally stressful to you, in the same way your body has evolved to know the difference between a saber tooth tiger and koala…. Acknowledge your feelings. Acknowledging how you feel about a distressing situation can provide some instant and welcome relief. My favorite way of doing this is writing my feelings down. According to this study, expressive writing or journaling can help reduce anxiety and stress. … Step back. … Meditate. I’ve talked before about the benefits of meditation. A recent study found that regular meditation relieved anxiety, pain, and depression, and that for depression, meditation was as effective as a pharmaceutical antidepressant. … Unplug. … Take a walk. Read a book–the kind that smells like dried ink. Listen to your favorite playlist while baking some cookies. Stop shaming yourself. You don’t need to feel guilty for not being angry and sad and outraged over all the things happening in the world all the time. You also don’t need to shame yourself for taking 57 minutes to veg in front of the TV or read a good mystery novel. … Exercise. While taking a break is crucial to guarding against chronic stress, regular light exercise (like walking or yoga) has also been proven to counteract the effects of stress. Talk to someone. Sometimes I think we say things like “you don’t need to be ashamed of getting professional help” while, in our heads, we’re saying, “Omg, I would never, though.” … There is no shame in seeking counseling, therapy, or even just a friendly support group.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Heart and Hustle: with women’s health advocate, Arwyn Taff, # 147
Nurse and women’s health coach
Arwyn Taff #147
Hello loves…
I am happy to bring you yet another inspired conversation with this woman’s health practitioner, Arwyn Taffs! So good to have someone like Arwyn to help us go through medical, emotional, and questionable procedures, to guide us and help us find answers that we can’t find alone.
Such incredible service and what a kind and gentle soul too…
We talk about her own medical diagnosis traumas and how she realized what she could do to help other women overcome the fear and pain and unknown with their health journeys.
Functional medicine! Let’s explore what is interconnected within your own health…
Plus we talk about body images, and how she was told she was “fat”… OMG…
How awesome is this? Pelvic health to growing into our healthy truth, and nurturing ourselves out of the path of chronic illness, lifestyle changes, and how we can’t rely on the systems,, but need to go back to our intuitive wisdom and alternative change!
Ladies. This is so important!!!! We are a community of wisdom…
I hope you enjoy this conversation, click here!
More about Arwyn:
I live in Denver & work at Minimally Invasive Procedure Specialists (MIPS) where we use interventional radiology to treat complex female pelvic pain. My employer opened her practice in 2018 and this is her area of expertise and passion – we are publishing research to help improve time to diagnosis/treatment and change insurance policy for better coverage/access.
At The Tender Root, I use functional medicine and coaching to help women find answers and feel better. My experience as both a practitioner and patient inspired my fresh approach to better living that you just can’t find anywhere else.
My approach is playful, curious and collaborative – I empower & inspire other women through normalizing, validating + educating around what’s happening with their health and why. We connect the dots, unravel stories, clarify priorities & make it happen.
I meet so many women who are thrilled when we find something medically wrong – because they have been told that their symptoms are “all in their head”. Even without a diagnosis, many are shocked that I believe them.
Trusting our own brilliance (vs external validation), tending to ourselves (vs fixing + forcing), nourishing (vs shrinking) and making compassionate space for insight is so important for healing! There is tremendous power and comfort in knowing that it all makes sense and there is ALWAYS something that we can do.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Time to watch your words, what you have been told, what you tell yourself too, right?
Enjoy and have a great weekend…
So much love for you,
