How about bringing forward our nation's founding MOTHERS?
Days 12 and 13...and 14? (I know, I know)
Yep, I missed Day 12…AND Day 13 of my personal 30-day Challenge to step into my Bigger Life, but it’s okay!
So, let’s talk about something that I did the other night - Wednesday evening to be precise. I gave the best talk of my life, that’s what! And I gave it to over 20 people! YOWZAH!
This is what’s up! It wasn’t from a prepared script but from an outline and a massive amount of passion, which I recommend. TALK ABOUT A BIGGER LIFE! TALK ABOUT VISIBILITY!
But it seems to take being authentic and on-point - and that begs the question…
…what if you don’t have the emotional CORE of your message? What if you don’t know what you’re even passionate about?
These are exceptional questions and if you’re asking them, I’m glad, because the more curious we are, the less we can fall into feeling that victimized sort of “I can’t” that dogged every single part of my life for waaaay too long. First, I got aware of it, and then I got curious, and that really did make a huge difference.
One of the things you can do if you don’t know the emotional core of your message is to tap into the anger that brought the message forward. Speak to yourself from there and ask yourself what you would say out loud if you were “allowed”. That may well be the emotional core. Of course you won’t say it in that specific way, but now that you have your finger on the pulse, you can play with that and get somewhere significant!
“Mustn’t try so hard”
One of my most mountain-climbing lessons, I’d say, is to stop holding my foot to the floor of the vehicle that is me, and trying to make things happen in my timeframe and in my way.
I spent decades trying to craft this work of mine, and the trying just slowed me down.
I spent Wednesday knowing I was going to have to give a talk about my upcoming course but not knowing how I would craft the thing! And at about 90 minutes before the talk, I got an intuitive/inspirational hit: how are entrepreneurial women held back from doing as well as their male counterparts? So I hit up AI and got some data and there I had it, the thrust of my talk!
I created an outline that I could refer to and I practiced, made some changes to the outline, and when it was time, off I went. And it was magic!!! Here’s a small clip.
I’m over the hump of doubt!
You know that feeling of “I don’t know if I’ll ever get there…”? Do you also know the feeling inside of yourself, vibrationally - kind of a dull energy - that says, “I’m not there yet. I’m not there yet. I’m not there yet.” And you keep waiting for external validation? You just feel self-doubt?
It’s not the external validation that counts. Strangely, it really isn’t. It’s the internal feeling of surety, of feet-on-the-ground-of-you. I’ve cultivated the feeling inside myself that this is my path. Because I have felt into it and I know that this is the direction that is ME, so it’s good and I’m all-in.
And when numerous people raised their hands to ask questions, because it was linked so energetically to my having been in the groove for the 15 minutes of my talk, and I was seeing/perceiving that they were responsive to me and the words and concepts I had offered, I “got” it: I’m on my way within myself - I’m acknowledging the impact I’ve had on others for some time. And that’s where the forward movement is.
I hadn’t seen the internal validation before. I hadn’t felt it before. But I did that night. And it’s glorious. It’s like a shot in the arm of Harry Potter’s Liquid Luck.
It’s not like I was going to stop anyway, but what I feel happened within me was that I had found the right order for my message, the right crafting. Putting the social first, and the impact-on-women second and the jailbreak third.
The-good-that-comes vs. the resentment
How easy it is to feel angry. And anger is one of our superpower emotions because it gets us out of the “I can’ts”. I’ll talk about that in the workshop but the basic idea is that we have all of us - women and men alike - been trained to believe in our limitations. And we don’t really have them.
So, when we get to a place in us that says “I can’t”, we need to stop and take notice, because we’re listening to a lie. and we need to ask ourselves “what could I do if I could”, because there is always something to do, or to shift inside our minds, or to investigate that can shift our “I can’ts” to “I can”, which opens the possibilities that we can become aware of.
Anger is great when we use it as a seriously energetic springboard to something of higher vibration: determination is a good one.
So, when I feel “I can’t”, or resentment, I let it be there, but I don’t let it be there unaccompanied. I’m right there listening and then I’m investigating: what can I do? And then I do that. As often as I possibly can. And these days, that’s a lot.
This is the coolest video
I used to think that astrology was cool as hell - which it is - but that I couldn’t at all prove that it had a direct impact on my life in the day-to-day. Then came this speed-up in our planetary evolution, and I felt it, alright. For weeks. Energetically. And I’ve noticed a vibrational difference between who I used to be and who I am now, and that shows itself in the nature of my thoughts, which are transformed. It’s seriously amazing, and I’ve noticed myself in various moments being amazed at the difference.
Which is super fun.
Anyway, I think this woman is incredibly fabulous! She is an astrologer and psychotherapist (?) - psychologist? - and she’s fun and she’s awesome, and I think you’ll love this and find it really helpful and uplifting in a time that is so goddamn disturbing.
So many things
Within the last two days things have come to me that are damn remarkable. As just one example, I connected over Zoom with a woman from South Africa and she offered to take a look at all of my material - social media, website, messaging - and give me some suggestions!
Really??? She didn’t ask for money, she just … offered!
And before you say, “Oh, well that’s a marketing ploy”, no it wasn’t. We gifted one another, and that’s what happens when you put relationship first. So count me in on that!
Today is the No Kings Day march
I’m going over to the University of Cincinnati, which is where we are all to gather, and I’m going to be counted. Got to do it. Want to go? Kinda yes, kinda no, but I’m going. Because it’s the right thing to do. As I see it, this is the crisis point, now, with all that’s going on in L.A.
Do I think this is just going to get worse? In some ways, yes it will. But I also believe that this is death rattle territory. This kind of energy cannot hold against its lighter opposition.
Also, this … what can I call him? I don’t see him as a man but as a lump of clay … this would-be human is incapable of judgment, or of seeing when he should stop. He’s what the Brits call a nutter. Insane. And his health is bad. And he’s got dementia. And he’s not smart. “So what?” you say? Well, he’s now made, and continues to make, inroads into the backwaters of America where even the people who supported him are going, “What the fuck????” and backing away from what one tarot psychic reader calls “the golden sneaker”.
Let’s get out there and be part of the movement.
And after we topple this greedy bastard regime and all of the people in it are jailed, let’s not back off - let’s create a new America. Because I was listening to Gavin Newsom speaking and he said something about “our founding fathers”, and I thought, “There it is, right there! We need this new America to be about our founding mothers and fathers” - and then we’ll have something sturdy!”
Be safe out there, and passionate, and loving, and connective.
