“Take a Deep Breath” the Message of Amazonite

Today a new crystal, I don’t ever remember being on my desk, was sitting on my desk. It may have been here this entire time, but I don’t remember it. It is beautiful.

I picked up this beautiful Teal-Green crystal with small streaks of orange and tan and felt it. I really felt it in my hand…its edges, curves, soft rounded points, and cool temperature. I let her stay in my hand for quite a while, resting, breathing. As she reminded me to rest and breathe.

Is there something unique in your world today that is trying to speak to you? Are you open enough to hear the message or are you too busy rushing? I am often too busy rushing. Moving. Doing rather than being. It is a large part of the world we live in.

Today, however, take pause and find what unique thing is there…and has probably been there since the beginning…that has a sweet message just for you.

Savor the message.

I release…

Do you see a healer? Not a medical-Western-doctor type healer but an energy healer? Someone who does things you can’t explain but gives you answers that don’t need to be explained? Finding these people to interact with your energy, your spirit, your soul, or perhaps of your child, isn’t as simple as Google searching…”Energy healer in my area.” It takes word of mouth, referrals, personal experiences, confidence in friends. That is how I found Nick Mallett.

I was interviewing Kelley Coleman, author of Everything No One Tells You About Parenting a Disabled Child, for an upcoming podcast and at the end we moved our chat into energy healers, intuition, woo-woo, etc. She says, “Oh you need to meet Nick.” 

After our recording, she sends me a name and number of a man that doesn’t advertise…to my knowledge. I don’t think he has a website. When we talk, I don’t even get specifics as to what he’ll do. All good…this is why you take advice and referrals from friends. Trust.

When we connect on the phone, I find out he doesn’t really make appointments. Now, for an appointment girl like me, this was probably the most challenging part. I couldn’t plan my schedule around him? He said something to the effect of, “I just go with the flow most days and I do whatever feels good.” Now, right there is a good lesson for me whether or not I ever connected with him for an energy healing. Go with the flow! The astrological year of 2024 would really vibe with that sentiment. Let go of control!

So, what do I do…I mark my calendar (ha) to call him at 9:11 PT which is 11:11 CT Monday to see if he was free for a healing. Note the angel number of 11:11.

I eventually hook up with him on the phone and he basically dives right in. He asks me to stand up, drink some water, get comfortable, relax my knees and then starts energetically scanning my body over the phone. Or at least that’s what I thought he was doing. Alas, I just went with the flow.

About 3 seconds into my body scan, he starts giving me phrases to say. I was instructed to say them outload, 3x. Each statement started with “I release all _______ and _______ releases me.” After which he would give me an verbal “knod” and then I would hear light language affirming what my body was releasing.

Here were some examples:

“I release all guilt and guilt releases me.” x3

“I release all remorse and remorse releases me.” x3

“I release all toxicity and toxicity releases me.” x3

“I release all inflammation and inflammation releases me.” x3

“I release all banishment and banishment releases me.” x3

“I release all grief and grief releases me.” x3

Many of these statements caught in my throat. The grief statement made me cry. Actually, many of them made me cry.

Grief, Guilt, Remorse, Comparison, Judgment…

The curious part about making these statements 3x was that by the time I got to the 3rd statement, I could feel my body and my emotions release. My voice changed as well. By the 3rd time, I bought in. I could feel “it” going away. I could feel “it” releasing.

I had no idea I was holding on to so much emotion, so much sadness. But as I made the statements, I honored them. I honored the emotion. And, I found myself being kinder to myself with each statement. Acknowledging that we carry negativity inside ourselves is a good thing. Acknowledging that life isn’t always grand…is a good thing. Being truthful and honest with ourselves gives us the freedom to release it.

The next morning during meditation I found myself making some statements again. Things that perhaps crept back in during the day prior.

Take a moment and sit with these questions. Be kind as the answers come in. And make your own statements 3x. Feel what happens.

UPDATE: I spoke with Nick before publishing this blog.

  1. What he does is called Quantum Energy Healing!
  2. He checked in with me the day after to see how Teal and I were doing (I neglected to mention that he worked on both of us. I suppose that’s another post). Turns out we were (and still are 2 days later) both quite sick. This, I know from other healings, is quite normal as your body processes and releases that which needs to be freed. The really wonderful part is that he did a few things energetically to help Teal and me because…because it’s the nicest thing to do. Made me feel like we were important…not just clients. And, that is something you don’t always see these days.
  3. He also may be working on a place to put his testimonials. I’ll be writing one for sure…maybe he’ll even link this post to his website? 
  4. Thanks, Nick…if you read this!

5 Steps to Connect Telepathically with Your Child

When do you connect with your child? When is easiest? When is it hardest? How do you connect with them?

First and foremost, the hardest time for me to connect with Teal is when she is hurting or extremely frustrated. Normally this is when her, and my, emotions are running high. In addition to the elevated emotions, I often get a physical response from Teal. She may swat or shake or kick. You all have experienced it. And in those moments, it is so hard to determine exactly what they need. My discernment is very low during this time.

I so desperately wish she could talk…to tell me what she needs.  I hear myself saying, “Just show me what’s wrong.” And, I often hear myself saying back, “I’m sorry I don’t understand. I don’t know what you need.”

That’s your cue!  When you hear yourself saying that to your child, take note. Pause, breathe and implement this very quick process. 

  1. Ground. Feel yourself on the ground. Whatever part of you is touching the floor, acknowledge it and feel it more. Connect to something stable.
  2. Open your crown chakra. Connect to the higher realms of energy. Open your crown and reach up with your energy. You may feel the top of your head get lighter. You may direct violet or golden light out of the top of your head into the heavens. Know that you are connecting with higher answers.
  3. See a gorgeous light blue color surrounding your throat and awaken your energy there. Know that you can communicate and you can hear what is needed.
  4. Finally, open your heart. Reach your heart energy into your child’s heart energy. See the light connecting you both. Then, reach energetic open palms out to their heart energy.
  5. Now listen and feel.

This process should be quick…60 seconds or less.

Now, if nothing happens at first, please do not despair. This, like any new skill, takes time to develop. The neural pathways need to be built and strengthened. It is important to practice when the stress and emotion is not high. Practice when you don’t need the answer, when your child isn’t hurting or frustrated.

One way to begin building this “muscle memory” is by practicing after you put your child to bed at night.  Just go through the process in your mind and imagine it working. Imagine it being easy. Imagine the energetic packets of information coming from your child into you. It will happen. And, the more you practice when the need is low, the easier it will be when the need is high.

Crystals and Essential Oils can enhance your intuition and connection.

You also may consider holding a crystal or using an essential oil to enhance your practice.

Crystals to consider include blue stones for communication.  I love angelite for a spiritual connection with enhanced communication. While the experts don’t list this one as a good stone for telepathy, I find it perfect. It’s peaceful and healing and gentle. When I think about connecting with Teal, those are the feelings I want.  It also helps you to connect with your angel team…and I believe that Teal’s higher self is part of my angel team.  So, this is a win-win for me.  Other blue stones to consider are lapis lazuli or kyanite.  Rose quartz is all about love. Opening our heart is a must when communicating with our non-verbal children. Pink opal is also wonderful for enhancing your motherly connection.  Clear quartz and amethyst are wonderful for boosting your intuitive connection and help with the crown chakra.

Essential oils to consider might include the InTune blend from dōTERRA®. I put this directly on my 3rd eye.  Use rose oil for its extremely high vibration. To use our energy to communicate, our vibration must be high. Rose can help elevate you.

You may try the tree oils as they will help with grounding. If you feel too much stress, the tree oils can do wonders to lower the stress and get you connected with yourself before reaching out to another. Frankincense is another incredibly powerful oil for self-love and overall healing. I love frankincense for all things spiritual…heck, I just love frankincense for all things!  Peppermint and lemon can awaken your mind and help with clarity. Sage, clary sage, and rosemary are wonderful for wisdom and remembering. All so important when connecting with your child!

Remember, the next time you hear yourself saying, “I’m sorry, honey. Mommy just doesn’t understand what you want.” Put the above steps into play and believe that you can easily connect with your baby!

My love,

Jen

Opening Your Crown Chakra in the Morning

I am currently in a class with Maureen Burford from Creative Lives called Foundations 1. We meet each Tuesday via Zoom to discuss the assigned chapters in two books by Ellen Tadd: The Wisdom of the Chakras and A Framework for Wise Education. This is like a graduate level class…we have mandatory writing each week. And since I’m writing for Maureen, I thought I’d share my thoughts with you.

My primary focus over the past week with Teal was to be more aware of my crown chakra (7th) to then be open to her crown chakra (7th).

When I slowed down throughout the day to feel my crown chakra, I noticed that mornings were a tough time for me to feel open and inspired.  The stress of the morning, the schedule, the time constraints, the lack of control over a 7-year-old all contributed to a closed chakra.

Then, I remembered that inspirational music is a great way to “pop the crown” open. Alex had played “Thunder” by Imagine Dragons one morning in place of my standard Mozart…much to my dismay. However, when looking back on that experience, I felt lighter, more free, bouncy, and energized.   So, there I was asking Alexa to play “Thunder.”  And I immediately began bouncing up and down, dancing around the kitchen feeling the top of my head lift off. Success!

I also want to be more aware of Teal’s crown chakra. So, after taking my time this morning to meditate and automatic write, which opens my crown and sets me on a great path for the day, I went upstairs to wake up Teal. That’s when I realized I had a chance to help Teal open her crown before she even got out of bed.

For whatever reason this morning, Teal was very groggy. Slow to get up and certainly not her normal smiley self at 7 am. She wanted to cuddle longer than normal and wouldn’t get out of bed when I asked her. Now, I normally would have just picked her up out of bed and said frankly, “We gotta get going, Teal.” I would have taken control and forced her to get out of bed and start her day.

However, today, I realized I had a choice in helping her to start her day from a better place. When she asked me to cuddle. I cuddled. I did a few things with the comforter that I know she loves and makes her smile. I slowly tickled my fingers up her body to help wake her up. I held her with no intention other than to feel her sweet body against mine softly breathing. And that’s when I felt her smile. I felt her begin to wake up her crown and find joy in the morning.

Such an easy way to let go of control to give her a better morning.

And, to take it a step further, when I put on Thunder this morning, she asked me telepathically to put Mozart back on. I find this very interesting. Her Crown must like Mozart better than Imagine Dragons. I’m glad I was present enough with her to hear her message.

What’s wrong with her?

Three times in one day I was asked, “What is her diagnosis?” I despise that question. And, I normally don’t handle it in the way I want.

Sometimes I say, “Well, she has high tone.”

Or “She is hypertonic.”

Or “We don’t label her.”

Or “Her dad and I have decided that when Teal can talk about it herself, she can tell people her diagnosis, but we don’t feel like it is our right.”

You know what I really want to say to these “oh, you don’t mind me asking, do you…” people…SHUT THE F-UP…WHY DOES IT MATTER? And, who are you to have the nerve to ask? And, yes, I do mind you asking. And, mind your own Goddamn business. And a slew of other things I don’t feel comfortable writing here.

God…I hate it. And, the biggest thing I struggle with is that I’m not ashamed of her diagnosis. I just don’t think random people need to know. I literally had a woman who had seen Teal maybe 3 times say, “If you don’t mind me asking, what is her diagnosis?” What? Really? When I told her that we don’t label her and all of the above statements…she got mad. I type this and laugh. SHE was the one who got mad. The nerve. Seriously, she stormed out of the market in a total huff all pissed that I wouldn’t tell her what was wrong with Teal.

Because, that’s what people really want to ask. They are desperately curious to know why she isn’t “normal.” What’s wrong? They are uncomfortable because they want to put her in a box and label her so they can feel better. So, they can take a deep breath and know it’s not contagious, it’s not catching. This is the truth. People don’t like to see something that is different from them.

Now, I know I am stereotyping. I know. Not every person feels this way…but as a mama lion…I will claw the eyes out of those people who do fall into that category. And, I’m shocked at how many more people fall into this category than I would ever expect. Sure, people say they want to know so they can treat her better or so they can better understand her. Bologna. They want to feed their own curiosity. And, it pisses me off.

I came home that day all in a fluster. I was desperate to find a way to answer that question without being a crazy mama lion while still standing up for my daughter and the respect we have for her. My husband, a friend, and I came up with this…

I’ve tried it out in my mind and it still sounds bitchy. And we thought about…

I am still struggling months later. I still don’t know how to answer it. If you have an answer and are willing to share, please comment or send me an email at Jen@ForOurSpecialKids.com. I’d love to know how you handle this question.

And, please know…it’s not that we’re ashamed of her diagnosis…it just doesn’t matter. She is amazing, incredible, and so much more than a diagnosis!

The Vigilant Must Not Wait

So, I got this message today during a bioenergy healing session with Jody Goddard.

“The vigilant must not wait!” What the…?

While I know what vigilant means, I actually looked it up to see if there was another meaning that I was missing.

The Google machine says this, “keeping careful watch for possible danger or difficulties.” That didn’t make a lot of sense to me.

The noun version of Google’s answer is “the action or state of keeping careful watch for possible danger or difficulties.” Still didn’t make much sense. I’m normally a half-full type of girl. I don’t spend my days looking for danger or focusing on the negative. It’s just not me.

Obviously at this point, I am still a bit lost on the actual meaning of this message. Because, yes, I do believe we get messages in our meditations and when they come they can be a bit cryptic but they need to be heard.

My next step was to look up the origin of “Vigilant.” This is what came up…”late 15th century: from Latin vigilant- ‘keeping awake’, from the verb vigilare, from vigil (see vigil).”

You guessed it, I then rabbit-holed to vigil. And, this is where things made a little more sense to me.

“noun: vigil; plural noun: vigils

a period of keeping awake during the time usually spent asleep, especially to keep watch or pray.”

https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=561360965&rlz=1C1ONGR_enUS944US945&sxsrf=AB5stBj6nDpMxDThGT_yDPVdIOPUqTM3AA:1693427450239&q=vigil&si=ACFMAn_Hp-Itxgrvlkmz06srbzjKhPyIrp8G5CVA5EG1PHTS5GJsT5_qK0vn4GLsObBNPdjYyF1OTkOlmz2HZiF-tTiwbweC-Q%3D%3D&expnd=1&biw=1536&bih=739&dpr=1.25

If I put this into my statement above…then what I might be able to take from this message is that one…I might not be sleeping too well in the near future (ha) or two…I need to wake up! That my time to “sleep” in this world is over. It cannot wait anymore. I must wake up, I must take the time necessary to awaken to the world around me. Awaken to the knowing. Awaken to the place I’m supposed to take in this world. And, this awakening can’t wait anymore. I think my guides are getting restless!

My period of being dormant, asleep, ignorant in this world is over. It is time to wake up and get moving!!!

Okay then…I guess the next logical question is…WHAT NOW?!?!!?

May you find an awakening within yourself today and may that knowledge not wait!

XOXOXOXO

Wishing Away a Day

Our family had an unbelievably busy summer. Our end of June to July, however, was over the top. Alex, Teal, me, my dad, and step-mom met in Montana for an incredible (and extremely exhausting) 5 days at The Ranch at Rock Creek Dude Ranch. It was incredible. So many outstanding memories to fill our future.

When we arrived home, June 29th, there was a friend of ours at the house. We knew he was coming for the 4th of July weekend…he just arrived before we did. Mark this as Day 1.

Davio stayed until July 5th. I like to tell him that he doesn’t count…because he doesn’t. You know those house guests that don’t require a major clean-up or prepared breakfasts? They don’t care what you look like…ever. They know you get testy about things. They know you argue with your husband and then 2 seconds later you’re over it. The type who knows your kitchen so well that they can unload your dishwasher? Yeah…Davio is one of those guests. However, he was still at our space and having another person means more dishes, more food, more discussion, more planning, etc.

July 5th – July 7th Teal had camp which allowed me to clean house and get laundry done before the next 3 people arrived. These were not the “you don’t count” type of people. These 3 arrived July 8 and didn’t leave till July 16th. By July 16th, I was starting to feel a bit “over-it”. I was already tired of having people in my house. Sigh.

July 17 – 21, my niece arrives with a friend.

July 19 Candela, our Spanish exchange student arrives. She stays till July 29th.

July 23 Candela’s family from Spain arrives.

Yes…at this point, all 5 bedrooms of my house are full. I am making meals for 7 people for more than a week. Trying to stay on top of laundry, Teal’s schedule, our guests’ entertainment schedule, grocery buying, meal prepping, meal making, clean up, and the list continues.

I AM EXHAUSTED at this point! Kind of beyond exhausted actually.

Our house was finally empty and quiet on June 30th.

But during that entire time, well most of that time if I’m being really honest here, I kept reminding myself to never wish a day away.

It is so easy to just get by, to just make it through the day. We all have those times when we think to ourselves, just make it to 5 pm or 8 pm or bedtime or tomorrow morning. And, I will probably have one of those moments in the near future again. But I hope when I’m in the moment, I can remember that this moment will never ever ever be here again. This exact moment, right now as you’re reading, will never be here again. Ever. You can’t get it back. Time keeps ticking.

My mom told me when I was starting my working career that if I wished Mondays away, then I would be wishing 1/7 of my life away. Take that in for a moment. If you dread Mondays because you don’t like your career…you are dreading 1/7 of your entire life away or at least until you find another job to dread.

When I take time to consider the 1/7 statistic, I am reminded that our time here on this Earth is fleeting. Our time here is a drop in the ocean, a whisp of air, one grand of sand on a beach. You get it! We just aren’t here very long and I am going to try and not wish any of this time away.

Looking back, I could have wished an entire month away. An entire month! Saying to myself, “Just make it to July 30th! Just make it to July 30th.” But, I tried not to. I tried to feel each day, to savor each moment, to stretch out each meal. Because I don’t know if any of those people will ever be in my house again. We don’t know what life holds. Many of you have received phones calls that confirmed the vanishing of future memories on this Earth plain with someone who one day was here and who one day wasn’t.

So the next time you feel a bit overwhelmed with the day, the child, the space, the moment…take a deep cleansing breathe, put a small grin on your face, and say, “This too shall pass but I’m not wishing it away!”

XOXOXO

Just Put a Hat on Her!

Telepathy and Intuition.  

We were new, first-time, parents.   We did our fair share of contributing to the consumer world of “baby”.  We measured those scoops of formula perfectly.  Made sure the temperature of the milk was just right.  This also meant that for the first few weeks at home, we both got up when she cried.  Both of us reacted…what’s wrong?  Is she hungry? Is she cold? Does she need to be changed? What can we do?  What can we change?

It was non-stop. As every new parent can attest to. It’s in our DNA to do this when we hear our baby cry. Fix it. Fix it now. 

Well, on this one occasion about 4 months into Teal’s life, I knew something very odd. 

Let me set the stage…it’s end of October. We were remodeling our house (which was supposed to be done before Teal came into this world) and were living in a very small condo. Teal was content by the fire. It was warm and cozy in our home. Out of the blue, Teal started fussing and then she started crying. Alex was holding her with a bewildered look. Like…where is this coming from? All normal things had been checked off the list…hungry? No. Dirty? No. Cold? No, etc. You get the point.

Then it happened…this weird knowing came over me and I said to Alex, “Put a hat on her.” Now, we were in the house. It was warm. This statement did not make sense AT ALL. Put a hat on her? What? Alex looked at me with a very, very strange expression.

I said it again, “Put a hat on her. I don’t know why, but she wants a hat.”

So, Alex puts a hat on her and she immediately stops crying. Immediately. Both of us were quite stunned.

Well, here’s the most important part of this entire story. That specific day in October was the very 1st time my daughter communicated with me telepathically. She told me she wanted a hat. She sent me that message…and thankfully, I received it. 

You see, what I could have said here is that it was all Mama’s Intuition. It was all me. It was all the intuitive instinct that comes with motherhood. And, I do believe in a mother’s intuition. I believe it. I have experienced it. I use it regularly. But, the part people leave out of the story is that the message comes from somewhere.

Teal sent me the message. She was an active part of my knowing that day. It was NOT ALL ME. It was a 2-way communication. She sent the message and I received it. And then I acted…thank goodness. 

So, the next time you get a knowing and you think it’s all just your intuition.  Take a moment to give credit to the sender. And sometimes that sender is a tiny 6 lb, 4 month old magical preemie child whom will forever change your life.

And, give credit where credit is due!

With love,

Jen

PS: if you feel like you are intuitive (because everyone is), let me know. I have a mini-course for you to help bring more of your intuition to the surface.

What happens when you lose things?

So, I very rarely turn off my computer.  I know it is a terrible habit. Please don’t lecture me about hackers and all that!  It really comes down to time management.  I normally get done with a project about 10 seconds before I’m committed to be inside to relieve a babysitter or to make dinner or to get Teal to her next therapy appointment.  You hear me? 

Anyhoots, I just save things and run out the door.  Well, I am very very sad to tell you that I didn’t save some pretty important journal entries and wouldn’t you know it…my computer did a restart on me and guess who can’t recover them?  Me!  I have tried, believe me.  I did the google search and followed the steps.  Nope.  Not there.  I actually searched for key words, hoping that I did somehow save them or the computer saved them for me and they just aren’t under “Unsaved files.” 

Sad but true, I can’t find them.  So, this led me to question “What happens when you lose things?” And, that leads me to the real question of “Why do we hang on so tightly to the lost things?” Why do I need to search so hard for what has been lost? Why can’t I just accept that it is gone and won’t return? Why can’t I see the beauty in having had it and then lost it?

And yes, I know…this is SO MUCH MORE THAN LOSING A WORD DOC of a journal entry. This is about the loss of what was. The loss of what I thought would be.  I am still, after more than 5 years post diagnosis, mourning the loss of what my life would look like, feel like, and be.  The mourning looks different than it used to. The mourning is lighter and doesn’t weigh on me every moment of every day. The mourning is easier to get through. And yet it is still there. A lump in my throat or a heaviness in my heart. At times it is heavier than I would like to admit.  And at times, it is more than I am willing to acknowledge. 

I look at my grief and feel guilty because my Teal is so magnificent, so magical. But, I still mourn that I’ve never heard her say, “Mom.” Or “I love you.” Or, “I’m home!!” I still mourn hearing her footsteps run up the stairs after a play date to greet me and tell me about her day. And I mourn that she can’t pick out her clothes in the morning, brush her teeth, and come down for breakfast…on her own!

There are many parts of our lives and our child’s life we can mourn the loss of. And, long, deep, soothing sigh, it is okay.

It is okay to grieve.

It is okay to grieve that which could have been.

It is okay to grieve the unknown. 

It is okay to be angry at your computer for losing documents that had precious meaning and a little part of your heart.

It’s all okay.

                                             

               “Grief never ends. But it changes. It’s a passage not a place to stay. Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith…it is the price of love.”

#6: Part 2: “Have a Baby!!”

So there I am sitting in the HOT SEAT of an Abraham-Hicks Lecture.  And, this may shock you, but I tend to use humor to calm myself down and to lighten up the mood. 🙂   The 1st thing out of my mouth is, “I’m so excited I think I could vomit.”  (this was edited out of the recording below but does bring some clarity to why Abraham said, “This may make you vomit.”)

I truly was so excited and more than empowered…because the thing was…I knew that morning when I was putting on my make-up that I was going to talk with Abraham.  There was no doubt in my mind that I would be sitting in the HOT SEAT.   None.  No doubt.  I actually put on a bit extra make-up because I knew my head was going to be projected on the big screen and I didn’t want to look pale.  Ha ha ha.  I am not kidding.  I made that happen…I was there in my mind that morning in my bathroom in the HOT SEAT.  I could feel it before it happened.

Side NOTE: This is how manifestation works.  The easiest way to manifest anything is to already be there.  See it, feel it, taste it, smell it, hear it…all of it.   Know exactly what you plan to experience and then watch it develop.  Try it…seriously, sit there for a moment and try it.  Now don’t go experimenting on something huge like a freaking new car but try it with a friend calling you with yummy news.

Hear the phone do its little jingle.  See her number come up on your phone…maybe her cute photo pops up too.  Take a deep breathe and know you are going to get some great news.  Answer.  “I have been expecting your call, _______!”  Smile.  Ha ha…she does have good news.  So good.  Feel your excitement for her.  Giggle a little inside and hear her energy across the line.

Do this a few times throughout the day and see what happens.  Or you can replace your friend with your boss or whomever…just know that you have the power to manifest really incredible things in your life.  Start small and then build on it.  Abraham talks about starting really small…like think about butterflies.  Why you love them.  What the wings would feel like on your cheek.  How gentle and majestic they are in a soft breeze.  See them in all sorts of colors…and then watch.  You’ll see a whole lot more butterflies…promise.

Ok…back to the HOT SEAT.   I struggled a bit with how to phrase my question (as you’ll hear in the recording) but in the end my question was about having a baby.  See, I had manifested a pretty incredible life…and I loved that life.  I loved my travels, my income, my freedom, my relationships, my house, my career, my…pretty much everything.  And, I was worried that bringing a child into this world would ruin it.  I had heard so many people talk about how my life would change, as in big time, and I’d have to give up everything.  And Lord knows I’d have to stop traveling.  God forbid I would travel internationally with my kid.

I just kept manifesting these people who would tell me it wasn’t a good idea.  (Perhaps I was looking for a reason not to have a baby!)  So, I asked Abraham their thoughts.  I LOVED THEIR RESPONSE.  In a nutshell, they told me to stop asking others for their opinion (really really really good point to live by) and, here’s the best part…they told me that if I wanted to maintain control of my life, then I SHOULD NOT HAVE A BABY.    Goodness gracious, were they right.  My life has not been in control, from my perspective, since they placed this little being into my womb.

But, isn’t it such a great reminder…why do we think we need to control everything in order to find or maintain joy?  Perhaps flying by the seat of your pants is the most fun you’ll have all week.  Just go with whatever comes your way and don’t analyze it all.  Exercise your right brain more.  Let your imagination flow, your creativity blossom, your intuition soar.

Let your heart manifest the juiciest, most delicious, wicked, WooWoo, fancy pants, part of your day.  

I am beyond thankful that Abraham told me to get over myself.  Change, as they put it, is the constant that allows growth and adventure and excitement.  But, we resist change…and yet we all want growth, adventure, and excitement in our lives.  So, one must give…and I am so happy I was the one to give.

What do you need to “give?”

Now, here’s a bit more WooWoo for you.  Abraham never truly gives advice.  In the 12+ years that I have been listening and studying Abraham and their teachings…I have never to my knowledge, heard them give someone direct advice.  Seems like they do a very good job directing people but never giving the “do this” type of direction.  Well…I was walking away from the HOT SEAT, and Abraham yells from behind me…”HAVE A BABY!!!”  What?  Did I just hear the Universal Wisdom tell me to have a baby?  I think they knew that this “baby” would change the world.  And change it she has…

Thanks for going a bit WooWoo with me…

The Ever-Changed Mama!!!
