A few years ago I was cleaning my studio and I found a crunched up piece of tissue paper that had paint all over it…

and I ALMOST THREW IT AWAY…

then I read it…and I loved it...and here’s what it says:

“what if I could fly?

what if there was peace everywhere?

what if all dreams came true?

what if no one was ever afraid of failing?

what if all intentions were good?

what if people put people first?

what if everyone started over, every day, and let each other do the same?

what if love was the only rule?

if you could do anything, if there were no limits, no barriers, no excuses, what would you do?

why don’t you start today?

why don’t you just take one little step toward your dream?…one little step will add up to 2, then after a week it will be 7 steps, then 30, then 50, then 100, and then how close you will be to where you really want to go.”

This is gonna be kinda long….but that’s what I do, right?? I go forever without blogging and then I just HAVE TO SAY WHAT I HAVE TO SAY I hope you will read it anyway…because it is important and I soooooo want you to know this. I will include lots of pictures to keep it exciting, ok?????? Please please please stay with me. Please?

Over the last 6 months, people keep asking me what I am doing to have so much light in my eyes….to sparkle. My one and only answer is peace….happiness….figuring it out and doing whatever it takes to go where the peace is, and then to stay where the peace is…to feed my soul what it wants to be fed. To stop settling for things that make me feel miserable.  I didn’t know how to do any of those things until I was almost 40.

But then I got to that icky sicky yucky (BUT SOOOO NECESSARY) place of “SICK AND TIRED” of feeling stuck…..SICK AND TIRED  of feeling mad, sad, bad, shame, blame….and like my best years were over. I got SICK AND TIRED of feeling like I wasn’t good enough, or that I didn’t do enough, or have enough. I got SICK AND TIRED of being a doormat and not standing up for myself or what is deepest in my heart. I got SICK AND TIRED of wasting my time and my life on things that made me feel worse.

I got SICK AND TIRED of carrying around guilt and shame over any and every mistake or regret or hurt I had in my life from the day I was born. I got SICK AND TIRED OF THE WAY THINGS WERE…and I wanted desperately to find a better way to live.

THAT was the path to creating the curriculum to SOUL RESTORATION….the courses that have been completed by thousands and thousands of women from all over the world. (can you believe that??? WOW!!!) The very courses that came from my showing others about how I personally got out of a years-long despair-filled funk.

Right now it is February 11, 2012 and we just got back from our 11th Brave Girl Camp………and almost every single camper was a Soul Restoration 1 online graduate….many of them Soul Restoration 2 graduates. These were sparkling women who are doing the work of living the exact life that was meant for them to live.  It was miraculous to hear all of the life-changing stories straight from each soul…..about how their lives were really starting to get on track….their hearts were finally at peace….and they were feeling brave & centered….and most of all, how they were starting to make their individual dreams come true. These are women just like you who have chosen to overcome every reason, every road block, every obstacle…every excuse.

As we sat and talked about this…..and did even more soul work together……I was constantly reminded about how far my own life has come. About what an enormous miracle this curriculum is. So….even though I get at least one letter every single day about how Soul Restoration has absolutely changed the lives of women all over the world………I wanted to tell you about how much it has changed mine…..and I want to beg you to at least look into taking it (Soul Restoration 1 starts up again next week!!! It will only run twice this year!)

What I know with every single cell of my body is that YOU were meant to have this kind of soul-deep peace….contentment….direction……bliss. YOU WERE MADE TO SPARKLE!!!! YOU WERE MADE TO LOVE AND TO BE LOVED!!!!

You were never meant to carry around every hurt, every pain, every betrayal, every mistake, every label, every horrible thing anyone has ever said or done to you or even that you have done to others…..you were not meant to feel worthless, lost, bad, addicted, stuck or invisible.

You were not meant to be abused, manipulated and made to feel small. You were meant to be loved. You were meant to travel light with a very real smile on your face……to FEEL light….to FLY. SR 1 & SR 2 have done this for me…..and for thousands of women all over the world. I SOOOOO want this for you. And it is all done with art and journaling projects…and lots of soul searching……..

I finally feel free of having to prove myself, suffer, or be who others want me to be. I finally feel free of expectations, of feeling like I will never be able to be enough, or do enough or have enough. I finally feel free of having to maintain and put energy into relationships that hurt.

I finally feel like it’s ok to have the simple, beautiful life that my heart has been yearning for. I finally feel free. I WANT EVERYONE TO FEEL THIS FREE!!

Here is me teaching parts of the curriculum live at Brave Girl Camp……

you see, I am teaching the very stuff that helped me dig out of holes of despair, shame, sorrow, blame, regret, sadness, fear………I am teaching what I have seen work for thousands of women of all ages, all backgrounds, all religions, all races, all parts of the world. It works because it goes soul-deep…..and that’s what we all are…SOULS.

I have seen this work too many times to not stand on the highest roof, the highest mountain and scream at the top of my lungs….PLEASE TRY THIS IF YOU ARE SICK AND TIRED OF THE WAY THINGS ARE….IF YOU ARE SICK AND TIRED OF LETTING OTHERS MAKE YOU MISERABLE……IF YOU ARE SICK AND TIRED OF THE WAY YOU FEEL…IF YOU ARE SICK AND TIRED OF MAKING EXCUSES….IF YOU ARE SICK AND TIRED OF FEELING STUCK…IF YOU ARE SICK AND TIRED OF THE CAGE YOU ARE IN!!!!! PLEASE COME OVER HERE AND TRY THIS!!!!! PLEASE!!!!

ALL “Restoration” classes are designed to get you to a place where you have absolutely no excuses left to go and be happy, to go out and be awesome, to go out and do good things…..to go out and live your one beautiful life in the exact beautiful way you were meant to live it.

Come on, just give it a try. I would LOVE for you to start seeing yourself the way that everyone who deeply loves you sees you……wouldn’t that feel good?

Come on…..give it a try. CLICK HERE to learn more. We will be so happy to have you along. Watch the video below to learn more about the course….or go here to read some of the hundreds and hundreds of testimonials…..

Dear Phenomenal Girl,

You matter. You make a difference. Your unique abilities, talents, and personality traits are a wonderful addition to your family, your school, and everywhere you go.

What the world needs is more people who know who they are and how they can be more of who they are, and how they can give more of who they are and how they can give more of who they are in places that will make a wonderful difference.

The world needs girls who are just like YOU…with loving hearts and huge strength to do what is right and good.

You are so incredible…just as you are.

Dear Sweet Girl,

Today is the most important day ever because today is the one and only day that you have right now. Today you get to decide what you want to do, how you want to be in the world, how you want to help, and how you want to feel. Today you get to decide what you want to learn and how you want to spend your time.

You don’t have yesterday anymore, and you don’ t have tomorrow yet.  So today is the most important day you have…today you get to love your life in the way that only you can. Make the most of it, lovely girl.

Go out and have the best day ever!

We are ALL artists…we all have a divine spark of creativity within us that yearns to create something that wasn’t there before…whether we paint, draw, sew, stitch, cut, mold, cook, bake, sing, play, write, nurture, heal, sculpt, carve, engrave, quilt, garden, spin, weave, dye, collage….there are as many ways to create as there as creative souls.

Today, let’s celebrate the artist in all of us. Let’s celebrate that burning in our souls that cries out to express herself in ways that are unique and beautiful!! Let’s give ourselves the gift of TIME to devote to artistic expression…in ways that are ours and ours alone. Let’s teach our children and our friends to do the same, and let’s encourage and enjoy one another’s creations.

Let’s find ways to create beauty today…for we are ALL artists!!

“I want to thank anyone who spends part of their day creating…anybody who spends part of their day sharing their experience with us….I think this world would be unlivable without art and I thank you.”

Dear Gutsy Girl,

One of the hardest and most important missions that we must put on our “missions to conquer” to-do list is to absolutely, positively, thoroughly and mercifully forgive ourselves.

This is not a once in a lifetime mission. This is an every day mission. …(read more)

Dear Fantastic Girl,

Take a few moments today, dear friend, to really explore the labels that others may use to define you, or even that you may use to define yourself. Then try to be open to letting those labels go and see what happens.

You see, brilliant soul, that when we decide that we are “smart” or “dumb” or “success” or “failure” or “funny” or “boring”. It can create a self-made trap that MUST be self-released. Even labels that may seem “good” can actually trap us.

What if one day you decided that you wanted to be known for more than being the funny one, or the smart one or the organized one. What if you were ready to just be YOU and nothing else, but then those labels have such a stronghold on you that you think you have to use them to make every decision for the rest of your life.

Here’s a permission slip, friend, to drop EVERY SINGLE LABEL except the one that says that you are a SOUL, a beautiful beautiful just-right soul. Everything else is just clothes to try out, experiences to have and lessons to learn.

Let it go and just be you, ok?

You are so very loved.
xoxo

Dear Extraordinary Girl,

Something wonderful that happens to us as we are paying more attention to our souls…and that might not seem like such a wonderful thing…..is the day that we get flat out, undeniably SICK AND TIRED of the way things are.

If you find yourself in this place, lovely friend, take heart and know that this is the catalyst for deep and meaningful change and for the resolve it will take to get from where you don’t want to be to exactly where you want to be, and never go back.

There must come a day when ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, when all of the excuses finally lose their power. There must come a day when things are so far from the path that feels like yours that you will do anything to get on the right path. THIS is a very good day, a day that deserves a thankful heart and serious consideration, attention and some of your undivided time.

So if you are sick and tired of the way things are, this is the doorway to the way things are meant to be. We must step out of what we don’t want to be able to step into what we do want. It is SO WORTH IT.

Keep going, beautiful girl. You are going to get there. You are going to be ok. Everything is going to work out and this will be worth every tear you cry, every mile you walk, every hurdle you overcome.

You are so very loved.
xoxo

Dear Learning Girl,

You don’t have to put so much pressure on yourself, you know, beautiful friend. You don’t have to know right now what is next, how it is all going to work out and where you will be a year from now. Trying so hard to have all of it figured out can be exhausting, discouraging and even paralyzing.

What if today, we all just decide that where we are RIGHT NOW is exactly where we are supposed to be, and that knowing that is enough. What if we let the need to control go and if we let the need to know every piece of the plan go, and if we let attachments to specific outcomes go. What if we just TRUST?

We can do our best to make plans, goals and strategies. Those are all very good things. When goal making stops feeling peaceful, when it stops feeling like progress, when it stops feeling right and starts feeling yucky, we need to really examine when it’s time to let go and just trust.

Everything always works out somehow. It just does.
Be at peace, sweet friend.

You are so very loved.
xoxo
