How uncomfortable did that subject line make you feel? Because here’s the thing about creative energy - it can get you feeling uncomfortable. Vulnerable. Open. Raw. And, GASP! Clutch your pearls grandma... AUTHENTICALLY ALIGNED AND ALIVE! That’s what sexual energy is. Napoleon Hill called it “sexual transmutation” in his book, Think and Grow Rich. And there is so much shame, societally, that we are taught to have around this sexual energy. Because how often have you had an idea for a book or a movie or a business or a new strategy and you shared it with people and they thought… It was no good. Or it was too weird. Or that it would never become anything. Discover your creative energy and tap into your reign. Click to read the full blogspiration.

Have you ever looked for that next thing to “complete” you? Maybe it was another certification or degree? Or that ONE magic thing that you need that will CHANGE EVERYTHING?

Ever have that one thing that keeps recurring in your life every time you feel like you’re leveling up? For me, it’s around rejection. I have had to do a lot of healing around people leaving. I’d reject parts of me - the silly, the weird, the dramatic, the ultra-girly, the ballerina - or parts that I thought would allow me to fit in, only to be rejected. HINT: Deep down, humans aren’t stupid. They know when you’re faking it. Sometimes they may not want to know that you’re faking it - but faking it can be felt just as deeply as feeling it.

I know pretty much nothing about art. Other than a half a semester of art history in high school, where basically my only takeaway was understanding the difference between Baroque and Rococo because of that joke Cogsworth makes in Beauty and the Beast, I am pretty much lost in the art world. I only know what I like...and what I love. I love impressionists - yeah, all the stuff you don’t need contacts for and requires a hint of imagination and feeling, that’s my jam. There’s a vibe you get when you stand a foot away from one, where you feel the passion in the brushstrokes. Discover your uniqueness and tap into your reign. Click to read the full blogspiration.
Feeling the feels of scarcity these past few weeks? I have. We’ve been going for a BIG goal, like a massive leap goal and in the thick of it, I feel like...I...just...keep...miss-ing. The. be-at. It feels like frustration, anger, impatience, annoyance. And I’ve realized that I need to give myself permission to just freaking be in it. Like REALLY in it. Still working. But also fully surrendering.
There are some days I want to retreat. There are times when I just want to cower and hide and bury myself in the cocoon of my blankets and pretend like the world around me doesn’t exist. There are moments, sometimes days when I just want to hide behind the veil of “not knowing how” and quietly sip the poison of my excuses and allow its slow erosion eat through the intestines of my dreams like colitis of the creative. Yes, I have my moments. Sometimes they even last a day. I hide knowing that I will be rebirthed through the labor pains as I dig through the plagiarized programming, conditioned addicted feelings of “not-enoughness” and “who cares” because I know what’s on the other side... Sweet freedom.
