you can


Letting go... It's not just something we do with our stuff, it's a way of life. It's a balancing act. Oh but it's not act. It's a choice. A daily one. 

I coach people through the process of "purging". I've been told that just my presence alone has helped these individuals finally make a choice. Keep. Don't Keep. Shred. Donate. TRASH. And oh how liberating the trash CAN, can be. Even the word encompasses self empowerment. 

You can throw out what isn't working for you anymore. The thing is, we don't think we can and understanding this folly is the our first step toward change. Changing our minds, to be more exacting. Our mind is the problem. Did you know that? Well, it is. 

One of my favorite quotes is; "If you think you can, you can." ~Meryl Streep. 

It worked for her didn't it? She must have thought eons ago; I can be an actress. I can be a very successful one too! And viola! Oh but it's not that easy. 

Meryl Streep was turned down for a role in King Kong and was actually told by the casting director that she wasn't pretty enough. "You're not pretty enough."  someone once said to MERYL STREEP.  

Flash forward, three Oscars later, I don't think she cares. I don't think she ever did. Not enough to stop her. And that's my message to you. Don't give into those thoughts (pretend they're sociopathic casting directors in your head) telling you that you're not worthy of a home - of space. Of love and comfort. Success. Structure. Balance. Beauty. 

You are. 

Letting go starts in your mind. If you think you can let it go, you can. If you think you can't, then change your mind. You can do anything. You are that capable. You are that worthy. 

Just give yourself time. Time is all we have. It doesn't mean it's going to be easy. It just means you're willing to see how it goes, with time. Life is weird enough as it is, we don't need to put unreasonable pressure on our self. We do need to put a plan together though, or just create some options for reducing the chaos. Self help books work wonders. Positive self talk. Good surroundings. Youtube. Meryl Streep movies. ME. 

Life is chaotic. We need a plan for action because we don't need to feel any that non-sense in our home. Home is where the heart is and the heart is where you are. Keep it simple. Un-complicate the complicated by making a choice each day to face your shit. Because why? Because it'll be less shit you have to face tomorrow. And less in MORE. It's more wonderful. 

Just LET GO. Clutter is not just stuff. Clutter can be emotional. It can be trauma caused by people. It can be a relationship where someone is filling a space you don't have room for anymore. It's someone you've outgrown because they're not developing with you - meeting your needs, thriving with you somewhere in the middle. This takes from you your self worth and your time. You energy. Your life. 

Take it back because... you can.

My story. My song...and my prayer for life, forever.

"Angel Out There" ...this is a song I wrote when I was nineteen years old. I remember I was lying on the floor in some disheveled bedroom that had been converted into a low rent, in-home recording studio. It was late that night, my head had collapsed into both of my hands and I felt my mind imploding inside of my bleached blond head. I was pensive and thinking to myself...will I ever make it? I had written at least fifty songs by the time I was nineteen. I wrote and recorded my first original song during the summer of '97, just before 9th grade. I was fourteen. I even managed to give Garth Brooks a copy of my demo a year later, in 1998. Garth was in Phoenix playing baseball during spring training, I lived in Phoenix. I had two original songs on a demo back then, I was so proud of myself and I was on this incredible and confident, victorious high. I was ready to rock the world! It's funny looking back, I was so incredibly ambitious as a kid, it blows me away when I ...

right here where you are.

 "You have the power to bless your own life. Nobody can do it for you." -My Kundalini yoga teacher. Mantra: Today offers us some sort of opportunity, and life is beautiful. My mantra for survival. 6 days ago... Only minutes ago mid grind, an assisting voice with no name, physical attributes, or visible location, spoke to me, kind of like a wizard. I felt like Dorothy. I felt inspired by this vibration so seasonably articulated. I felt crazy. But hey, I'm never gonna survive unless I get a little crazy right? So, I get a little crazy. I can hardly help it. I want to know what "not crazy" means anyways. I have yet to discover it's opaque definition, and no one whom I've crossed paths with has yet to define it's meaning for me. And it's funny to me, because this is the typically and more commonly assumed, preempt, most fitting character trait: to be not crazy. It's coveted. It's preferred. It's poli...

the show

We're not big and we're not small because who we are can't be measured or compared, not with anyone or anything or any other life out there. We don't have edges, we're not a cliff off a canyon. We don't have sides, we're not a box. We don't have walls. And anyone who tries to climb over yours has surely lost their way because there is no wall to climb. There is just... you. Sad you. Happy you. Hurt you. Brave you. Honest you. Broken you. Angry you. Lonely you. Enthralled you. Fantastic... you. You're not an object, and though you may feel objectified and on edge, boxed into a life you didn't want, you're actually a platform. You were built by the mercy of your own will to carry on, to keep dancing - to keep smiling because darling, this is theatre!!! And all life is a stage and you're on it. You decide if the show must go on. And the show must go on. We don't choose this life, you see. It chooses us like a stylist chooses our dress, o...
