​I set goals each year in an effort to keep myself on track. I would never get anything accomplished without some sort self-imposed system of discipline along with my eternal to-do lists. Like many people, I get distracted rather easily. I joke with friends that the world is full of dancing squirrels that keep competing for my attention when there are other things I should really be focusing on.
 
Sound familiar to some of you? I mean, I can’t be the only one living in a world full of distractions. Sometimes I swear those squirrels are working overtime in sequined disco getups, hellbent on keeping me from getting anything done at all. But at the end of the day, I’m the only one responsible for getting things checked off of my to-do lists.
 
Today is the eve of August which is Lammas for some folks that observe old traditions. It’s the day of the First Harvest, bringing in the first crops, taking inventory of progress made and assessing the status of what’s still growing. Our modern farming systems may not be planned by older methods of farming, but I do feel that this is a great time to assess how the year is going for each of us on an individual level.
 
I have really rocked some of my goals for this year, going beyond what I thought I could accomplish. Some of my goals….. not so much. There are some that are lagging and I’m frustrated with their status. I think it’s okay to get frustrated with ourselves as long as we also recognize that we’re still human and just doing our best at any given moment. Get frustrated, get pissed off, but then put a plan in place to get moving and live life fully!
 
I’ve been going over my goals for this year and adjusting my monthly plan of action. It’s good to step back from time to time, give ourselves some much needed praise for accomplishments, and then figure out where to go next. This year isn’t over. There's still huge potential for this to be an incredible revolution around the sun! We can gather in the accomplishments achieved so far, assess the work still to be done, and determine to make the most of the time we still have. It’s never too late to start today. Blessed Lammas for all of us!
 
Light, Love, and Blessings…..

​We’re in Leo season and the New Moon later this week on Thursday, July 28th, will also be in Leo. It’s been hot as of late in many places in the world and astrologically things could also be heating up. Leo energy can bring passion, a sense of authority, and a drive to achieve more. Always keep your cool and stay in control of your actions even when you can’t control your emotions. Remember to be kind to one another.

Sorting out boundaries has come up over and over again for me this past week and for clients in readings. We all have many different boundaries in our lives. There are boundaries at work, in our homes with family members, with significant others and spouses, with friends, and with a multitude of others in our daily lives.
 
Knowing our boundaries is about knowing our value. Here’s a news flash that seems to keep coming up: you will never be for everyone. You’re going to have people that love and support you. There will also be haters and people who seem intent on destroying you. But so what? Keep your boundaries. Know what you’re truly worth and, when necessary, cut loose those people that are not contributing to the greater value and happiness in your life.
 
It’s a difficult lesson for a lot of us. We like having people praising us, liking us, supporting us. There’s nothing wrong with that. Just don’t define your value based on the feelings and actions of others.
 
To repeat it: you will never be for everyone. Focus on the people that “get” you. Focus on the people that understand what you’re doing. Keep people around you that support your dreams, your passions, your laughter, and your core values of happiness. The rest of them….. know when enough is enough.
 
Relationships can be difficult. Correction… relationships ARE difficult if you stay in them long enough. They require ongoing examination, dialogue, redefining them, and making sure you still have the same mutual goals. Sometimes we simply outgrow them.
 
Take care of yourself. Drink enough water, eat the right foods, exercise, and remember your own value.
 
Light, Love, and Blessings…..

​The Moon is currently waxing and will be full later this week. The full moon will occur on Wednesday July 13, 2022, at 12:38 MST, in the sign of Capricorn. Full moons can trigger emotions and subconscious influences. The moon in Capricorn can also urge us to be grownups or at least pretend to be responsible.
 
For me, Moon in Capricorn is also a time to examine goals and strategies for achieving them. Every so often we realize that our comfort zones have become cramped and the air around us has grown stale. Change doesn’t take place while we’re camped out on the couch and watching television. Change is uncomfortable and uncertain. Sometimes our sense of stability needs to be challenged in order to push us to grow.
 
During this movement of the Moon through Capricorn, think about where you are right now in life and where you want to be in a year. Allow deep influences to surface and become responsible for them. Take a look at your goals and reverse engineer them, working backwards to where you are, step by step, so you can devise a sound plan of action for achieving them. Start now in order to see the results you want to be living in a year from now.
 
One of the great things about readings is that the process provides an outside point of view to assist with creative strategies for problem solving. Readings look at what’s going on, where someone wants to be, and how to navigate the process of getting there.
 
Readings can also show what to focus on and what to actively avoid. The choices and actions, however, are always our own. Please reach out when you're interested in having a reading with me.
 
Have a fantastic week!

Love, Light, and Blessings.....

There’s never going to be a perfect time to start. You can tell yourself that you’re getting everything set up, everything prepared, everything just perfect, so you can be assured of your ultimate success. You can convince yourself that you’ll be ready after the next task that you believe is absolutely essential.
 
That’s not the way life actually works. There’s always going to be that one more thing that you could do. There’s always another online seminar that will improve your marketing strategy before launching your business. There’s always going to be that “one more thing” no matter what you’re wanting to do.
 
The only real secret in all of this is that you just have to start right now with what you have. You will learn as you go and make improvements along the way. You will perfect your work as you do the work.
 
I think the part of us that keeps postponing what makes us feels uncomfortable is just trying to protect us from failure, from pain, and from disappointment. However, it’s by pushing out of our comfort zones and into those uncomfortable moments that we can have tremendous breakthroughs.
 
Do wait until you have everything figured out. Don’t be reckless, but don’t keep waiting for the perfect day. Just start, now, somewhere. There’s always something you can do in the pursuit of your dreamlife. Start small. Start where you are. You may just be amazed how far you get before you feel you’re even ready for it.
 
Just to be clear… this is also a reminder to myself.
