Thank You, Thank You - and Also - Thank You

#1 in 2 Amazon categories in 3 days!

My global marketing strategy for this book has been in the works for 2+ years, and I am so grateful that all of the hard work paid off: #1in Spiritual Self-Help and #1 Memoir: Adventurers & Explorers in less than 3 days.

Rising to #1 is called “owning the category” and it’s kind of a big deal…which is why I’m so amazed & grateful!

(Another key phrase to know in publishing: YOLO – “You Only Launch Once!”;)

I openly share this story with the driving intention of supporting your journey to greater self-meaning, soul connection, and creating the life of your dreams. One of the last chapters brings every part of the story (aka, my life!) together with the intention that you will potentially see your life from a new, higher perspective, including the Divine in every relationship, experience, life phase. But now I’m getting ahead of myself.

You can read 30 pages free:

Thank you for all of your support and sharing!

More books are on the way later this year.

Five Spirit-Based Essentials For Life

Here are my Five Rules For Life as featured right now on the influential blog of the same name. Maybe you can relate to some of these rules?

1.      Trust Your Gut

The small voice that says “no” to a job offer or “yes” to speaking to a stranger is a reliable compass for decision-making in uncertain times. The gut delivers fast, immediate and clear messages if I’m willing to trust it. Allow that small voice in the gut to come to the microphone often.

 

2.      Listen to Your Heart

Whispers of personal truth come through feelings. Feelings tell with immediate accuracy what I need in a situation. I’ve squashed these messages of truth down before, French-press coffee style, but the personal needs don’t go away. Listening to the heart’s true feelings allows my needs to be addressed sooner. Don’t ignore these messages.

 

3.      Respect Your Mind

Besides being the home of every life memory,a stack of educational degrees and the list of all-time favorite beers, the mind pinpoints possibilities, actualities and liabilities. Allow the mind’s knowledge base to bring out areas of improvement, strategy and commitment. Use logic and practicality regularly. Respect what the mind says, but don’t let it rule over the other senses all the time.

 

4.      Follow Your Spirit

Your soul’s eternal wisdom is always accessible through a listening connection to Spirit. Quiet moments of solitude and peace bring answers that can’t be found on a billboard or in an email message. Find quiet times to just be without distraction, and the soul’s beautiful wisdom will pour forth.

 

5.      Alignment of Gut, Heart, Mind and Spirit = Goldmine!

Trusting, listening, respecting and following from every area of your Being leads to purposeful direction and action. The gut’s compass, the heart’s truth, the mind’s knowledge and the spirit’s wisdom illuminate the path that is for your highest and best good. I like to call this combination the Pure and Utter Brilliant Path for Life Dream-making. And who would want to settle for anything less in this fabulous game of life?

The Art of Trapeze:

One Woman's Journey of Soaring, Surrendering, and Awakening

"On a random Thursday morning, with nothing to lose and only a dream to gain, Molly McCord decides to move to Paris, France to follow the courageous call of her heart. She arrives in a city she has never visited before and where she knows no one, yet she trusts her ability to figure it out because her adventurous life has prepared her for this biggest of leaps. She carries the wisdom of Solitude, Strength, Style, Flexibility, Heart, Endurance, and Grace in her non-matching luggage collection.

Molly’s soul-riveting experiences unfold in surprising ways as she discovers the joys and realities of life as a foreigner in France, falls in love with a sexy Turkish man, moves her cats across the Atlantic, enjoys the rare opportunity of working for a U.S. Ambassador, and creates the life of her dreams in less than two years.

Yet when unexpected developments require her to surrender once again, a higher consciousness catches her with a deeper spiritual awakening.

The Art of Trapeze™ soars with emotional honesty, delightful humor, unexpected wisdom, and inspiring spiritual perspectives around living life to the fullest when nothing is guaranteed except gravity."

June 23: Full Moon in Capricorn

[image error]

It’s Super Moon Sunday! (Americans: Totally different than Super Bowl Sunday.)

And it’s the only Super Moon of 2013!

The moon is at its closest point to the earth it will be all year, so if you’ve been feeling big emotions, or changes, or inspiration, or STUFF coming up – you are normal. This Super Moon is a breakthrough point for a few reasons and it is meant to be noticeable. Let me explain.

The June 23 Full Moon in Capricorn at 2 degrees is:

· coming on the heels of the Summer Solstice (always a significant transition point in the year for both hemispheres)

· right before Jupiter enters Cancer for the first time in twelve years (opportunities to look at how we take care of ourselves, emotional security, and creating a new home base (energetically or physically)

·  supporting the upcoming (and highly rare) Water Grand Trine with Saturn, Neptune, and Jupiter (a huge deal! Opening up to flows of beautiful support)

We are moving through a doorway into the second half of 2013 that allows for releasing of where you have come from (energetically, family, your past, your roots, previous soul imprints) and supports identifying new goals as you continue to reach your full potential in this lifetime. Added into the mix is the flowing, creative, intuitive energy of water that allows us to glide and coast along in the waves. Which is an uplifting gift after so many intense energies of the past two years, non?

Go forward with that creative project. Follow an inspiration. Focus on your bliss. Make something from your imagination real.Whatever is whispering at you? DO IT. It will probably come together easier than you think and allow you to soar in new ways. (Really, truly, I believe this for you, and I probably don’t even know you personally.)

Right now is also an energetic check-in point for the commitments and goals you initiated waaaay back in January – how do you feel about those goals now? Do they support you still, or has everything changed and you need something completely different? Are you expecting others to take care of you or are you taking responsibility for self-nurturing?

Make needed changes now that fit with who you are now. Initiate new ways of getting what you want that allow for grace and ease. Trust your personal authority and rely less on external validation.

The Moon in Capricorn is creating a rare kite configuration with two outer planets, Neptune in Pisces and Saturn in Scorpio. There is a grounding, practical component here that says, “Don’t take anything personally because we’re all energetically connected, silly!” Instead of unconsciously reacting, nurture yourself. Instead of feeling too quickly/defensively, detach and see it all from a bigger perspective. Of course, these habits may be easier said than done, but if you have a willingness to observe your patterns, you are already on the path to new energetic expressions simply by acknowledging them.

On June 26, Jupiter moves into Cancer and shifts us into where we find and need nurturing, emotional support, heart connections, and sacred spaces. Also related – your mom, how you were raised, childhood patterns, expressing your feelings, and home matters. All of this will depend greatly on where Cancer energy is located in your astrology chart, but the archetypal themes are universal.

Intuitively, I feel this Jupiter in Cancer cycle relates to your mom in this lifetime and/or how you have played the role as a mother in other lifetimes (regardless of what gender and how many kiddos you have now). Those unfinished issues, unconscious patterns and behaviors, or lower energetic expressions could potentially come to your attention, so heads up if you suddenly feel like everyone you meet is “just like my mother…” A-ha! And there is the gift (which you can't return with a receipt).

 

And now, I will shamelessly put in a link to my new spiritual memoir because it's FREE right now on Amazon and I figured you like free.

Oh right, here's what the book is about:

Missed Connections, Separation and Divine Love

Many people have found Soul Mates, Twin Flames, and other key relationships recently, and yet these connections are unfolding in unexpected ways that may be throwing you off balance because things aren't "lining up" - can you relate?

I'm hearing this theme from a lot of clients and I've experienced it in my own life, so it's timely to share with you the reasons, wisdom, and understandings around why separations and "missed connections" are occuring.

Transitions are also happening with friendships and business relationships, so I'll be sure to share more about those separations, too.

And good news: it's ALL Divine!  See you here for the channeled insights.

 

Be The Silence That Allows You To Receive

Artwork by Daniel B. Holeman

Silence is a gift from the soul to listen and connect to the deepest part of your wisdom. As you choose silence in any form, you choose to be in the presence of something greater and stronger than you. You choose to be receiving exactly what you need at that moment.

As the practice of silence becomes more skilled, you start to see more than ever before. You see how nature is always doing exactly what it needs to at each moment and every season. You see that the animals are performing their life in a natural rhythm and in harmony with their abilities. You see how every life form is gifted with the ability to thrive and grow with everything it needs readily available. You see that communication takes place for all of these living, breathing entities, and yet they are without the level of human communication that you are so accustomed to performing.

Silence is one of the greatest opportunities to be a recipient of Divine Love. It is the decision to trust the messages that come through that you hear, although this is not hearing with human ears. It is a hearing of the soul that is more elaborate, and yet so finely simplistic it takes removing the human ears to truly listen. It is a listening that yearns for your commitment.

Silence as an art form is cultivated willingly. As you do so, the best ideas, plans, actions and inspirations will come through. Silence is a balance to your other capabilities. It is the required ebb and flow that will connect you to exactly the life you are here to lead. It is the art form that will bring you every answer and provide the next question to investigate.

Be the silence that allows you to receive. Be the stillness that allows your greatest connection to  open up. Be the receiver who leads from your heart and mind. Be in the place that connects you to everything you need.
