The Phoenix is Rising.
 
 “Don't ask yourself what the world needs.
Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that.
Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
― Howard Thurman
Greetings Creative One!
 
 
Before diving into today's newsletter a passionate welcome to our new subscribers!  Welcome. My intention is that you will find inspiration and nourishment here.  If there is anything we can do to support you, please email us at info@firetreestudios.com.
 
Do you feel it?  It is heating up! If you are alive and on the planet you must be feeling the intensity of change over the last few weeks.  I know I have! The flow of life is twisting and turning as old beliefs surfacing and begging to be let go, patterns, people and many opportunities presenting themselves, inviting a new more empowered expression in all areas of life. We are being summoned to own our personal power and creative potential in all areas of our life.
 
It has required courage.  It has required patience. It has required embodied creative knowing. It has called for emotional authenticity and truth.  It has required reaching out for my support team at times, especially the one on the inside, the inner cheerleader who cheers me on, even looking at death and despair and the visionary that sees the larger tapestry and has the power to underneath it all --be calm, centered and weather the storm--knowing there is deep, rich personal alchemy happening here.
 
And it passes, it always passes, evolving into a grander expression, a more open heart and more empowered truth and revelation filled with opportunity, potential and grace if we just allow ourselves to take the journey there...let go of what wants to let go, embrace what wants to be reclaimed to a more expanded heart and life.
 
Allow that delusion of yourself to die, so that you can truly live.
 
Each of you knows what I am whispering to your heart.  It stirs a deeper knowing of... I have got to do something different. I can’t keep going on like this.  Not. Any. More.  Not like this.  I can’t keep ignoring my inner knowing, my deepest truth, my own big bold beautiful beating heart. 
 
I know that feeling too, I have been there time and time again and rather than becoming perfect at mastering the beating of our own wild heart, we learn, we get better (more comfortable is more like it) and stronger,  more able to breakthrough the chains that bind it's light and hold us back from truly living an authentic and inspired life.
 
We become braver, more courageous and as we take each step they build on each other and brick by brick create a foundation that supports us from the inside out.
 
So I am asking you, to get very honest with yourself…
 
Have you been doing the ‘right’ thing, rather than what feels right in your own big blazing beautiful heart?
 
Have you lost faith and trust in knowing what is right for you?
 
Because the relationship we have with ourselves and I will even say with our creativity too-- is the foundation all of our relationships. To know the truth of our own heart is the key to fulfillment and essential to knowing true eternal joy in life.
 
And guess what it is not your fault.  There is no one to blame.  No room for shame here either.  There is no one to rescue you, but you-- you get to take that journey back to you. There are no shortcuts.  There are no quick-fixes.  You get to take the ride of your life and discover what you are truly capable of and what is possible when you align with the power of your own heart. 
 
The Phoenix is Rising...
 
And only you can light the flames of your own heart. You have a personal code for your own alchemy, and it is only up to you to discover, only you have the key. It requires your willingness, courage, intuition and action to unlock what is true for you.  And you have to take the next step.  Are you ready?
 
Join me and Fire Tree Method Creative Catalyst and founder of Fire Tree Boulder, Pam Simich, for an intensive program beginning in January, that will give you the community, support, structure, guidance, accountability and tools to break-free from what is holding you back in life and discover how to alchemize your dream into reality. With passion and practicality.
