We are in the most intense and challenging times known to history.

Who hasn't felt some form of uncertainty and tension in their lives. How we respond to this energy is crucial. We can no longer just think ourselves out of our daily challenges. In fact resolution is more effective when we stop battling it out in our minds and use some of our other resources, like allowing intuition and heart to guide.

We are in essence formulating a new plan or lifestyle that may not at all resemble what we are used to or have known in the past. This can be very terrifying to let go of control and surrender to the unknown. If there ever was a time to relax and go with the flow, this is it.

Some ways we can take control are visioning and formulating a lifestyle that includes: SIMPLIFYING OUR LIVES, SHARING, PAYING IT FORWARD, MEDITATION/PRAYER, and COMMUNITY BUILDING.

There is a greater movement happening that can not be denied. This greater movement involves learning to see our similarities rather than differences, finding ways to work together using each of our unique talents, and sharing our resources with others. If this sounds too overwhelming, begin with baby steps. Take time to be grateful for what you do have in your life, the small things that may have gone unnoticed. Show more kindness. According to the Dalai Lama "Kindness is the remedy for most all our problems". Find ways to support your community or a movement you believe in.

Just do it! Begin today! "Be today what you want for yourself tomorrow".

October is a 3 month, a magical number representing luck, joy, self expression, words both written and spoken, singing, dancing, music, art, entertaining, imagination, and creativity, with the freedom to move forward in any of these areas.

As you can see, this month has a more optimistic feel to it. Not that the conditions have changed, but your view and approach to them will. It's as if you are looking at your life with different eyes, seeing the world differently and making the necessary changes to move forward.

We are given this time to use our creative, out-of-the- box thinking to be inspired with new solutions to old problems. Allow these fresh new ideas to surface whether they are your own insights or other's ideas. Use October to remain open and receptive, then you'll be ready to implement these ideas and give them form in November. Keep in mind your willingness to be open and receptive is not just confined to October, it's a good course to follow anytime.

~ Express Positivity
~ Socialize with new people and in new environments
~ Get involved in creative projects
~ Empty your mind of seriousness
~ Listen to music and the sounds of nature
~ Dance, skip and twirl
~ Allow time for imagination
~ Journal your gratitudes
~ Don't be shy, show off your talents & passions

Remember as you go through your day, every action and thought is creating your future. Ask yourself, "Is this where I want my focus to be"?

Schedule now for a Weekly Session which will give clear guidance on the best ways to navigate the week ahead. Also, anyone interested in the October 24th Re-Energize Your LIfe workshop must sign up by October 21st.

According to Numerology, 2 represents relationships. We're not only experiencing a 2 millennium, a 2 year, but also a 2 month during September. I'm certain you are finding one or more key relationships in your life that are needing repaired.

Since we are an evolving species, we are being asked to grow in our ability to interact with one another in a more harmonious, non- competitive, supportive and loving manner.

It's time we let go of our 'separating' judgements and begin to embrace our differences/uniqueness and find ways to blend our talents.

I heard someone once say "you can't change a person's beliefs by hitting them over the head with a stick". Make it your priority to consider other's views and ideas. Why would you feel the need to defend your truths and make others wrong? Considering there are over 6 billion people in the world, that makes over 6 billion beliefs!

You always have two basic choices, either Love or Fear. Any action that is not love is fear, whether it's anger, guilt, judgement, sadness or grievances. Ask yourself as you go though your day, "Am I acting out of love when I say, do or feel something"?

No one said it would be easy, but if you begin choosing Love, Kindness and Compassion as the only way, you'll begin noticing a difference in your life as well as the world.

You'll need all these skills as we approach November 11, 2009 representing 11-11-11 or (11/2 - 11/2 - 11/2) - The highest form of relating from our heart.

As I experience a continuous wave of ups and downs, it always helps me to remember that 2009 represents growth and change. The question is, does the growth need be so very difficult? Unfortunately yes, when it involves the very way we live and express life.

I know I'm not alone as it's the story I hear from most of my clients and friends. Will this roller coaster ride ever end? Yes, when we make the necessary adjustments. So get on with them!

August is providing the awareness that will result in a new state of mind, a new philosophy of life. This inner sense of enlightenment will guide you as you prepare for a new beginning. Please give yourself the freedom to move slowly without push or force, as you will get more done this way. People will enter your life to share new insights and opportunities and you will want to reciprocate. New partnerships, groups and communities are being formed with efforts toward Peace. Take the time to feel the lifeforce moving through you and guiding your actions.

This is it! The time has come to declare your values and commit to living a lifestyle based on your passions and purpose. It has been said there will never be a more potent cycle to fully live your truths. Imagine waking every morning with a renewed zest for life.

If you are uncertain what you truly value vs. what you think you value, then it is important to pause. You must step back from a life of never ending to-do's and errands for moments of quiet journaling. If you do know your purposeful values, great! All it takes is a dedication to living them out. You will have the universe supporting you all the way as a constant reminder of what your focus need be. (even when you get off track:)

Value Driven Benefits:
#1) will help simplify your days
#2) results in more stability
#3) eliminates scattered existence by focusing on what is important
#4) will empower you and build confidence
#5) attracts the necessary "pieces" to the puzzle
#6) elimination of survival mode
#7) will help you to stop living other's values or expectations
#8) cleans up the clutter
#9) produces unexpected rewards

Now, go after your dreams and assist others in accomplishing theirs. Pay it forward like never before.

If you are experiencing frustration in your life, it may help to know you are not alone. There seems to be an epidemic of anxiety, indecision and fear - a fear of losing your old identity.

Letting go of an identity that restricts your feelings of joy and love in your heart is a good thing. An identity that struggles and feels the need to judge and criticize self and others is no longer needed or acceptable. We have entered a new phase in our lives. The vibrational energy is much different, it will no longer support the "old school" way of living.

According to numerology, July is the 7th month and also a 9 universal month. (add 7 + 2009, reducing to a 9) 7 represents a divine spiritual connection, stripping away our illusions then providing new answers and solutions. 9 represents unconditional love, forgiveness, unity, and group/world involvement. Together they form ideas like: live creatively & give generously, celebrate spiritual community, and a freedom to express your soul's passion in a service capacity.

The 4 Steps that will help you in this process are:
1) Know your truths/Purpose
2) Commit to carry them out
3) Focus (eliminate distractions)
4) Create support
