My kid got pushed while in a musical parade by an older boy. Then him being tired and exhausted from the activities, MY kid threw a rock at a younger boy an hour later. This is energy in motion. It’s not personal, it’s just raw without consciousness. Energy doesn’t stop, instead we handle it with emotional intelligence. Many times we miss that tiny window. I did. Then again, we were in the middle of a parade. Here’s the odd part,…
We all have struggles. Everything seems just out of reach in attainment – health, wealth, relationships, courage etc., and what I’ve found myself intuitively doing is I tell people, in my storytelling mind, how I DID IT, even though it didn’t happen yet. It usually goes something like this… Random admiring person (RAP): “Oh, Vanessa, tell me how you got through this period of financial invisibility?” Me (Vanessa): “Oh I don’t know! It was so scary and I didn’t know…
Addressing your needs and forgoing your wants seems to be valuable the older you are, in time and space. And that’s because we’re brought up on Santa lists of wants, soon maturing that we no longer need what we want, mainly because we’ll end up having to supply it. Damn Santa. As we evolve, we tend to go back to the beginning, but with a twist, much like the infinity sign. The twist is, we have to ADDRESS our needs…
We all are a living experiment in fact! It dawned on me that where we’re currently struggling is where we’re researching – within. Our library is the center of our experience. Let me back up. I was thinking about the huge financial debt that I’m currently experiencing, yet universally not allowed to fix. Trust me, I’ve tried extensively. I used to be worried. It’s so big now, that I can’t contain that worry, so I let it go. I literally…
We woke up at 3am to feed our 3 month old. I got a solid 3 hours in prior, which is a miracle in itself. My thoughts go to how much time can I get between the next feeding? I psychically tune into my daughter’s and I silent agreement within my mind each night, which my little one is a participant in. In this agreement I *hear the times that she will awake to feed and try to sway the…
As I lay on the couch feeling like my big sea lion self, I start to feel something shift. My mother who’s been here for a few weeks now says, “maybe she’s coming today” (just like yesterday and a few days prior) and at that moment in sheer frustration of over prediction, I knew she would arrive very soon. Twenty minutes later to be exact labor ensued due to comments from peanut gallery. And so it begins our 24-hour laboring…
Dear men, if you want to understand your woman you might want to read this. This article is dedicated to all the couples who are pregnant and face the challenges that it brings to the relationship. It ain’t easy. Ahhhh the greater good of pregnancy seems ironic, but this is the ultimate feminine evolution, very similar to menopause. I lost it, I lost everything this past month it seems, what was so stable in my life. It all crumbled…
My three year old toddler came to me today pointing a ruler, yelling, “shooter, shooter”. My mouth dropped, my heart broke into a million pieces. We are a family of peace, speaking up loudly when we see pain inflicted towards oneself or another, holding fertile ground in awakening social responsibility. We value our stillness, our silence, living a purposely peaceful life, not even owning a TV so as to reduce the background noise of nonsense. When we do watch movies,…
Most don’t know there’s a difference between the two; anger and hate, and although they seem to be cousins, they’re distantly related. The question is, what do we allow in our space and what do we close the door to? Anger to me, is always a stimulant, a mover and shaker; honing into your truth and corralling your power within, not giving it away like you do when you hate. Hate is powerless, that’s why it’s masqueraded as a power…
Multi level marketing is the new Facebook blogging essentially. You get noticed finally, and make money in it! But does it come at a price? What happens when we become a gurudiva instead of a being who likes what they sell? I, myself, am in several multi level marketing businesses, but not for the reasons most are. For me, I love the product so much, I can’t help but share my find. Best part is, I can make some bucks…
