Make Sure You Do this Part Too
Posted by: | Comments
Anyone else feeling like time is flying by?
The world is shifting and expanding rapidly. Now more than ever before people around the world are questioning the status quo and rejecting it.
This excites me to no end! Defy all the boxes people!!!!!! Go-Go-Go!!
But-make sure you do this part too……
When you reject something and are crying out for change, you have to remember to send out some good vibes indicting what you want instead. Spend time everyday amplifying the energy of all the juicy details of your desire. Be specific about what that change looks like in your life. Doing this helps to focus your intention and energy. The clearer you are the easier it is for the Universe to send it your way.
Playing Amplification Friday also is a helpful tool in your re-creation process. Taking a few minutes to take note of what you appreciate from your week and to bask in the juicy good feelings of it sends a strong signal to the Universe saying- “More of this please!”
Here are my appreciations from this week……

sassy new hair cut
My sassy new hair cut. It’s short, easy, colorful and fun! What more can I say!
Friends!!!! I spent an awesome “Big Chill” style weekend out in the country and it rocked! It was great to just hang out and be with a group of cool people. We went out to breakfast, apple picking, took a long nature walk, and spent the afternoon talking and baking. We played silly word games and talked about Occupy Wall Street. It was wonderful!!!
New crafty skills! I got to spend some time spinning wool with my friend Kim. I really enjoy the simplicity of it, and the way it keeps my hands occupied while I socialize. Kim and I agree- if things fall apart we will have a helpful skill to offer our community.
How NOT Flying Your Freak Flag is Losing You Money- This new class that I’m offering is tickling my fancy! I’ve been totally in the creative flow and it has been very easy to put it all together. I love talking about this material and helping people fly their freak flag! It would be even better if you clicked the link and joined me.
Occupy Boston/Wall Street/ your town……. People taking a peaceful stand for change kicks ass! It’s got people talking, exploring, and thinking about how they want things to be. Change it good!!!!! It makes my box defying heart giggle with delight.
I invite you to share some of the things you’re appreciating from your week in the comments below. Sharing them will give some extra juice to your amplification process.
The Best Time to Amplify
Posted by: | Comments
Just call me Ms. Cranky Pants today! Which is a step up from the random feelings of despair and crying jags I was having yesterday.
All I know is that I’ve been feeling really worn out and exhausted and don’t really have anything good to say about the week. Which is exactly why I need to play Amplification Friday!
It’s time to take control of my thoughts and shift my focus to what is working and feeling good to me so I can get out of this negative swirl.
Here goes-
I really appreciate the freedom that I have in my life to do the things that I want to do! I wake up when I feel like it and go to bed when I’m tired. It is so much better than when I worked for other people and my schedule was not my own.
Being a Kick-Ass Life coach is so deeply satisfying! I love my clients ans seeing them grow and expand. I love the moment when they see the story I’m pointing out to them and the way it’s stopping them from having what they want– that big ah-ha moment is priceless. What’s even better is hearing them report back how quickly things have changed for them now that they have stopped limiting to themselves or telling a limiting story. Growth and expansion rocks!
I love hanging out with my girl friends and talking about life, men and business. It’s so cool to spend time with other bold, courageous women who are doing their own thing. I always learn so much and laugh a lot! It rocks!
I’m appreciative of all the helpful people in my life. I am supported in so many ways. It feels wonderful to know that help is there when I need it!
I’m especially appreciative of the abundance that flows into my life. The Universe is generous with me and provides me with everything I need and lots of wonderful opportunities or growth and expanssion.
Now it’s your turn- What are you appreciating from this week?

Amplifying, Alignment and Appreciations
Posted by: | CommentsThis has been a week for lessons and growth.
I’m all for lessons and growth…matter of fact I welcome it with open arms and always appreciate it, but that doesn’t mean that it’s not challenging.
Lessons feel like crap!! Actually, I take that back. I think it’s more appropriate to say that SOME lessons feel like crap. I have certainly had my share of sweet and delightful lessons that cracked me open and left me feeling more aware of my own brilliance.
This week’s lessons were a bit rougher than that, and had me wondering “what the fuck?” a few times over. On the grand scale of things they were minor events, but in each instance I had a big moment of awareness that I am grateful for. Matter of fact, I appreciate them so much I’m going to make them the focus of my Amplification Friday basking.
This is what I’m appreciating and wanting more of this week:
That feeling of discord I get that lets me know when something is out of alignment. It’s totally cool that I’m becoming so much more sensitive to it and only need a gentle nudge to tune me in that something is off rather than a big dramatic slap in the face.
Lessons, gently delivered in the form of kind caring people. It is awesome to have people in my life who care enough about me and what I’m doing that they take the time to share what they feel. It feels very sweet to be held in such a way. Being seen is awesome-even if I’m not really showing up the way I want to be. It is all good!
Source energy!! It’s constantly supporting and guiding me in my expansion. I know that every lesson is exactly what I need to move forward. It rocks to be able to experience more of who I am, and embrace and acknowledge the different aspects of me.
I’m also appreciating the opportunity to notice how my energy was around the problems and issues that came up the past few days. I got to notice when my energy was sliding into victim mode, rather than taking full ownership of what was happening. Standing firm in a place of being 100% responsible for my outcome kicks ass!
I’d love to hear about what lessons you are appreciating from your week!
