Published: Thu, 11/24/16

Greetings Creative One,


First of all I want to thank each of you for being a part of the Fire Tree Tribe, without you, I would be unable to live my passion and purpose everyday so thank you for joining me on this incredible creative adventure to knowing our true potential, self-expression and living authentically from the heart.


And thank you to my incredible clients!  I am blessed to have the opportunity to do deep work, with some incredible souls who are diving deep into their truth and self expression in all ways.  I am honored to have the privilege to offer my soul work in the world, honor my gifts and serve those that are committed too living their purpose and full potential.  Thank you!


The Magic of Gratitude.

Think there is an overdose of gratitude in the air, well good, cause we need it!  Stop and think of all that you can be grateful for, is a surefire way to get out of feeling sorry for yourself and what isn' working for you in your life and in the world.


See if you can dream up a beautiful vision for the next hour, the next day the next year and start feeling grateful now about that possibility.  This is co+creation at its best and a practice all the masters and sages used over the year to fuel their manifestations.  Be thankful for it first, it will give your vision momentum and light and sit back and watch the magic that transpires when you do this as a daily practice.


5 Tips & Tricks on How to Thrive through the Holidays.

The holidays can bring love, joy, dark, light and also pleasure and pain for a lot of people.  How do you navigate the times and do more than keep your sanity?  We choose to thrive.


Here are 5 Keys to keeping your wits and thriving in the holidays.

This is what works for me and I like to keep the list short, sweet and memorable.



  1. Remember that you are always at Choice. This is our true place of power.  You can choose love. You can choose to leave an uncomfortable situation. You can choose to surround yourself with people who love and support you. You can choose.  You got tha powah! 
  2. Keep it light.  Choose to be grateful in the moment.  Gratitude is magic.  Focusing on the light in any situation, gives you more light.  Doesn't mean ignoring the dark at all.  It means focusing on what you can control ( your own mind) and bring grateful for all of life's blessings in any form.
  3. Stay Present.  Maybe don't drink the whole punch bowl to avoid what is truly happening.  Be with what shows up. Accept and let it go. Everything is designed for your awakening!
  4. Bless everyone.  Yes, Uncle Ted who insults everyone is just crying out for love and acceptance himself.  Refrain from tolerating the abuse and even more powerful?  Refrain from perpetuating it.  Break the cycle. Stay in your heart and love everyone, cause everyone needs more love right now.
  5. Express yourself. Find a safe space to express how you truly feel.  Your multimedia journal (my favorite for on-the-fly-expression) A trusted friend or mentor, your shower, your kitchen floor, a blank canvas.  Whatever, be sure to express your emotions and refrain from bottling them up!

So there you go.  Peace out my people.  Let me know how this works for you, just hit reply.


Big love and appreciation to you. Keep on loving yourself, your path, your creativity and everyone you encounter...because the world needs your light more than ever.  And it starts with each of us.
