Going on vacation is great.  Down time to recharge and play is important.

I’m in Maui for the next little while to have fun and play in the sun and surf.  I love it here!

Today we were out and about and traveled up the island from where we are staying.  What I noticed was interesting.

There were tourists running around like crazy.  They were frantic and talking about how they had to get all these gifts for people.

We were at a lookout watching the whales play and breach in the water and there were people preoccupied on their cell phones.  They totally missed the opportunity to be in the moment with these whales.

There were many stressed out tourists out there today and I guess it just surprises me.  The locals aren’t stressed out…so why would we be?

Some people are so used to creating stress and anxiety in their everyday lives that they bring it with them on vacation.

Let’s look at changing that pattern!  Get in the moment!  Enjoy your life…whether you are at work or on vacation!  Let go of the things that don’t really matter and embrace what’s important!

Be in the now!  Focus on what brings you joy and love!

Don’t think that just because I am away in Maui that it’s easy for me to say this and that I’m only talking or doing this because I am on vacation.  I focus on joy and love and being in the now every day.

Every day gets better and better!  I want this for you too!

What is one thing you can focus on to bring you to a state of joy as well as focusing on being in the moment?

Ok…I have a psychic story from when I was a kid that I thought would be funny to share.

On April Fools Day you have until noon to play your pranks.  My sister and I went back and forth with the pranks and some years we pranked each other…some we didn’t.

I was about 12 and I was ready!  I could tell that my sister was planning something.  I had no idea what it was…but the energy was there!  Noon came and went, and that was the rule…no pranking after 12pm.  It was so weird.  I totally thought that she was going to prank me.

The rest of the day went on and still nothing!  I could totally feel the energy…but nothing happened!  By the end of the day, the energy had pretty much dissipated.  I wasn’t really thinking about April Fools anymore.

I was getting ready for bed and I was just about ready to get into bed when I stopped.  That energy was back!  The first thing I did after feeling that energy was look under my pillow.  I just KNEW to look there!

Sure enough, that tricky sister of mine had put a raw egg under my pillow.  If I had gone to bed and put my head on that pillow, that egg would have been everywhere!  Luckily I was paying attention and heard the message to look under the pillow!  There was a RAW EGG UNDER MY PILLOW!!

So here I am, standing in my room, holding onto that raw egg.  I started thinking…what should I do with this egg now?  I thought about ratting my sister out to my parents about putting raw food in my bed.  Then I thought naw…it’s time for some good ol’ sibling revenge!

I snuck upstairs and my timing was totally perfect!  My sister wasn’t in her room for some reason.  I quickly went into her room and put the egg under her pillow then ran out of her room and back down the stairs!  I waited in my room, laughing to myself.

I think I waited about 5 minutes.  My sisters room was directly above mine, so I could hear her walking around.  I heard her go back into the room and get into bed.  About a minute later, I heard her get out of bed and stomp her feet down the hall and downstairs to my room.

She came into my room and then started to laugh and yell.  Apparently the egg had cracked and oozed all down her neck and was just everywhere.  She said she thought it was pretty funny that I got her back with her prank!  Too funny!

My sister learned an important lesson that day.  Don’t prank a psychic. 😉

Many people have asked me about soul mates.  The how’s and when’s and why’s of being or wanting a soul mate.  I thought I would share with you a few myths surrounding soul mates.

Myth #1 – We only have one Soul Mate

This is a myth.  I prefer to call it a soul connection rather than a soul mate.  We have many soul connections over our life time.  You may meet someone and refer to them as a kindred spirit.  Chances are when you meet this other soul, there is a strong sense of familiarity or comfort when seeing them.  Hey, you might even strongly despise them right off the bat for no reason at all.  Chances are, this soul has wronged you in a past life.  A soul connection doesn’t always mean that you will have a sexual relationship with them.  They could be life long friends, co-workers, or earth angels even!

I have had many soul connections so far.  Some are great, some not so great.   This leads us to our next myth…

Myth #2 – When I meet a Soul Mate I will live happily ever after

Wrongo Bongo!

Well..I guess it depends on your perception for part of this one.  😉

Soul connections, especially the important ones, are here to help us learn!  They are here to assist us with our life lessons and sometimes this will drive us crazy!  From my perception, this is awesome!  Other people might not like this so much.

Some soul connections are very strong and intense and are meant to last a life time, but some are very short lived.  We may only get a few years with a soul connection, whether it be a friend or a lover.

Paul is a soul connection for me.  When I first met him, it was an instant connection.  We talked everyday after that.  He has been my biggest support and my biggest challenge!  I have learned many things from him.  Some days he just drives me crazy.  He can be a real dork sometimes!  Haha!  😀

I’ve had other soul connections like this with friends.  Learned many things from them.  Some of them are still in my life, some are not.  This is ok.  Just because we meet a soul connection, it doesn’t always mean we are going to live happily ever after with them.

Myth 3# –   My Soul Mate will be just like me

Nope!

They are a completely different person and a different soul.  They too have lessons here to learn.  They will have their own personality.  You may have a few qualities or interests that are similar, but really they are a different person.

Embrace your differences and enjoy them.  Chances are that your differences will compliment the relationship and enhance it.

Myth #4 – My Soul Mate should already be perfect

LOL.  Ya right!

Are you perfect?  Probably not!  What is perfection anyways?  A fantasy…that’s what!

Should??  Says who?  We will attract a soul connection that is perfect for us in the moment we are in.  They will be human.  They will have challenges, just like us!

If you believe this myth, it really leaves no room for growth, evolving or discovering.  Remember, if you spot it…you got it!

The best of relationships take commitment, time, honesty, compassion and awareness.

By becoming aware of these myths, you can let go of the blocks that have been holding you back from allowing more soul connections in.

What is your favorite soul connection story?  Let us know below!

This morning I was out running around doing some errands.  I went into a store that had really dense energy in it.  There was a lot of anger and frustration energy in that store.  I could really tell the difference when I left the store and went outside.

I am fairly aware when I go out and I notice the different energies out there and I try my best not to allow the energy to affect me.  There are times however that I bring some unwanted energy home with me.  I am human after all!  I’m thinking that you can relate to this, right?

We get home and feel slightly irritated or tired.  Things just aren’t going right or we react strongly to things going on around us.  When I become aware that I am feeling like this, the first thing I do is change my energy.  Sometimes I can change it within minutes.  Sometimes it is harder to shift.

When I have trouble shifting the energy, I then look at a guided meditation.  They are great and you can find all different kinds on the internet.  One of my go-to guided meditations I found on YouTube and I like it because it focuses on grounding and clearing chakras.  It is a longer meditation, but a good one!

If you are looking for a new guided meditation to try, check out the video below!

Got excuses?  We all do.  The difference is, some people get past their excuses and go after their dreams.

My husband Paul showed me this video today and I just loved it!  Zach Anner talks about hitting a milestone with his YouTube videos reaching 100 videos.

He also talks about how milestones can be anything you want them to be!  Anything!

I love his wit and determination.  He has a great attitude and is inspiring in many ways!

One simple way to overcome excuses is to get around other people or to watch people who have overcome theirs.

This is one of those videos that can help to eliminate whatever excuses are stopping you from living your dreams.

Enjoy!

Reality is what you make it.

We decide what our reality is.  Every part of it.  Nothing is done to us, we create every event in our lives.  Every event is created through our thoughts and vibrations.

Thoughts are things.  Thoughts have vibrations to them.  Every thought we think has a vibration and we are creating our future using the thoughts we think today.  Pretty cool, right?

Or is it?

What kind of thoughts are we creating?  Do we think negatively or positively?  Do we even know what we are thinking?  These are the questions to ask when we want to become aware of our thoughts.  If we aren’t aware of what our thoughts are, then we can start with what we are saying.  Are the words we use negative or positive?  Are we complaining?  Are we blaming?  Are we praising?  Are we sharing with gratitude?

If you are thinking negative thoughts, chances are you are creating negative situations in your life. If you don’t break the cycle of negative thinking then you are going to create more negative.  A perfect example of a negative thought form is “Why does this always happen to me…”.  When something happens and we perceive it to be bad and then say “why does this always happen to me”…guess what?  By saying this phrase you are confirming and perpetuating these events to the universe and your reality.  Stop doing it!  Instead of going into victimhood, stay neutral and go into question.  Something I would say is, “I wonder why I created this event.  What do I need to pay attention to here?  What thought pattern do I need to change?”

In order to create the reality that we want it is important for us to become aware of what we are thinking and saying.  We want to align our thoughts and feelings with the highest vibration possible so that we can manifest the best possible reality.  But wait…do we even know what we want??

Another important piece of the puzzle is to get really clear on what we want in life.  Many of us are drifting, unaware and with no dreams or aspirations.  Time for change!!  Get clear on what a few dreams are…big and small!  Write them down or put pictures into a dream-book!

Once we get clear on what we want, we can then look at shifting our vibration.  How do we do this??  Through our thoughts and feelings.  The more we focus on good positive thoughts, and create joy in our lives, the higher our vibration sits.  It’s really important to be aware of what our thoughts are.

These few steps are key in creating the reality that we want.  What reality do you want to create?

This past weekend I went to a workshop hosted by a wonderfully wise woman.  It was a two day workshop about psychic and spiritual protection.  I learned a few new things, but a lot of it was familiar to me.  This was great!  One of the biggest pieces of information I received from going to this workshop is confirmation that I am on the right track.

I love feeling more confident in what I know and the tools I use everyday.  To me, this is very valuable.  It allows me to fully trust in what tools I choose to use, which in turn make them that much more powerful.  Exciting!

One thing I will share with you about psychic or energy protection that I know is that the power comes from within.  This was one of those pieces of information that was confirmed for me this weekend.  It really does come from within.

I often tell my clients that are having challenges with energy coming from others is that we have all the power.  We do.  We get to choose to take on other energy or choose to have energy drained from us.  If we don’t believe that we are fully protected and stand within that awareness of being fully protected, then we aren’t.  We must believe and trust in ourselves.

What I love about this teaching is that it is SIMPLE.  The power of protection comes from within.  There is nothing to carry in a bag or to remember to bring.  We carry this tool with us everywhere we go.  It’s great!

It isn’t about which crystal you are wearing or which sage you are using to smudge.  Those are all external tools that can enhance our personal power.  Do not put your power into anything external, keep it within and add to it.  Make sense?

One tool I use in my healing space is a large piece of black tourmaline.  It sits in the room and adds to the space.  I often forget that I have it and trust that it will do it’s part in whatever is needed.  My energy protection isn’t reliant on it though.

Do you have a favorite tool that you use to enhance your protection?  If so, share below!
