You know, when I left my corporate career in NYC and moved to Maui, Hawaii to build a life that was more aligned with my deeper truth, I had this vision.
It was a vision of living in the natural beauty of Maui, and being able to live part-time in the vibrantly alive Bay Area of California.
Kinda felt like a pipe dream...
You see... I had been living a life where MOST of the things I did felt like they were in RESPONSE to things going on AROUND me.
So the idea that I could actually have a life that was FREE enough that I could come and go from place to place as I pleased seemed far out of reach.
But I just took one step forward. And another. And another. I built a beautiful life in Maui that is more than I could ask for. I feel full and nourished by my life here.
And then something amazing happened...
Seemingly as if by accident, a series of events occurred that made it possible for me to spend a full MONTH in Sausalito (my FAVORITE part of the Bay Area!!)
Every single detail lined up.
Effortlessly.
And I found myself remembering my vision from a few years ago and SEEING it unfold before my very eyes.
Not because I had known exactly HOW it would happen. Not because I made a concrete plan and followed it exactly...
But because I was CLEAR on what I wanted and because day after day I made choices in my life that brought me closer to the life that I wanted.
I've been here in Sausalito for almost a month now. (Check out the views from where I'm staying!)
I have been in awe at the amount of love, support and synchronicity that I've experienced. I have connected with friends that are like family. I have met colleagues that are becoming long-term partners and allies for my business. I've found new levels of clarity and gratitude that fuel me forward.
Many times in the last month I've been brought to tears with deep feelings of appreciation moving through me in beautiful waves.
You see, this experience has been more than just a beautiful journey in the San Francisco Bay Area. It is one of those moments where I can look back at all the struggles, all of the confusion and the sometimes painful growth that I've navigated and SEE the beautiful results of continuing to choose my dream. I am now EXPERIENCING the results of the FAITH I've had in my own vision.
Believe me, I know how easy it can be to get derailed...
We have a dream, but it seems out of reach. We know what's not working, but we don't know what our next step will be if we let it go. We aspire to something, but we don't know how to make it happen. We question if we're on the right path. We can get frustrated, confused and even give up.
My prayer for you today is that you go within and feel your deepest truth; you FEEL what's calling to you. And you KNOW that it is possible for you. Not because you know how. Not because you know when. But because you have FAITH and DEVOTION to the life your soul is leading you to.
Here are three keys that have helped me stay true to living my highest path. I go back to them when I get scared, uncertain or confused. See if you can choose one and integrate it into your awareness this week.
1. Find Clarity on Your Dream
In order for our dreams to become reality, we have to LISTEN to what our deep truth is calling us towards. Our truth in a moment is ALWAYS aligned with our dream. It can be SCARY to dream big, because then we open ourselves up and risk that what we're dreaming of may not happen. Yes, a very real risk! Yet the aliveness that comes from letting our creative juices flow and our dreams emerge makes life worth living.
And I promise you, your dreams are possible. They ARE possible. Keep listening to your CURRENT deepest truth and trust that it is bringing you toward your big dream. Align every day with your truth.
You don't need to know HOW, you don't need to know WHEN... you just need to take the next step that comes from listening to what you need and want right now. What is it that is true for you in this moment? And this moment? As you follow your moment-to-moment truth you get closer and closer to where you want to go.
Allow any obstacles that show up to be catalysts that help you heal and grow into even deeper alignment.
2. Celebrate the Journey
My vision of living between Maui and the San Francisco Bay Area is PART of a bigger vision. And I am CELEBRATING it showing up in my life as a away of ANCHORING my bigger dreams of sharing my message and my gifts in service to the world in big ways.
Look back at the last three or six months.... Let yourself CELEBRATE the road posts that indicate you're ON PATH. That may be signing one new client. It may be resolving something with a co-worker so that you experience more harmony at work.... Celebrate your progress!
This anchors your progress towards your dreams and helps to stabilize you on your path.
3. Enjoy the Moment
One of the best ways to create flow for things to unfold in your life is to actually ENJOY the phase of the journey you're in. Now, I know that sometimes we are called to do deep soul work that feels challenging and even like tectonic plates are moving beneath us. It's in these times that it's even more important to take some time on a regular basis to ENJOY life. Sit under a tree and breath in the support. Go dancing with your friends. Rest.
A full life challenges us. Find joy amidst the challenges and your life will begin to have real meaning. You won't be waiting for your dream to materialize before you experience the fulfillment you seek.

It's my intention to share a message of inspiration and to support you in creating true freedom to be just who you are in a way that creates deep fulfillment. I believe that when we are authentically who we are, we give permission to those around us to do the same. This is something we all crave.
I want to express my deep gratitude that you are the reason I get to share my passion in the way I do.
