Last month you were encouraged to nurture the seeds of creation, and now Leo will support your outward expression, bringing your inner-world into manifest! In this energy, you may feel inspired to shine and share your ideas with anyone who’s willing to listen, but if you’re only motivated by validation from others, you may find yourself a wounded lion, licking your wounds.

Being ruled by the sun, Leo wants to be seen. Is there any possible way to ignore the sun? Only in hiding, but there is nothing to fear when you believe in YOU, as lions do. What if you could accomplish anything just by validating yourself? It’s more than possible, and with a bit of humility, you will also find that sharing the light won’t dull your magnificence. In fact, acknowledging the light in other people is one of life’s greatest teacher’s, and it can support you in your endeavors.

If you are struggling with your confidence, in any aspect of life, allow Leo to give you a burst of its charisma! When handled with care, this energy can show you how magical you are, just by being you! Remember, you are here for a reason. The world is your stage, according to Leo, and you will be well received if you align with your heart and express with LOVE!

For those of you who receive some form of recognition this month, remember to receive the acknowledgement with grace. Or if you receive a gift, regardless of the size, be sure to acknowledge the thoughtfulness of the gesture. Your appreciation, for all things, helps you to become a magnet for more gifts of love and compassion.

If you’re hyper-focused on what you don’t have, this would also be a great opportunity to give back. There is a lot going on in the world, outside of your scope, and your generosity can make a world of difference.

Gift From Leo: May you stand tall in your divine nature, allowing your radiance to be shared with all, inspiring others to shine just as brightly. May you find beauty in your unique manifestation of light, sharing your creativity and honoring your own expression of the Divine, in form. May you roar to encourage and protect those who have yet to see their own reflection in the sun.

Happy Monday, Alchemist!

You hear a lot about how to change your life, but how is your relationship to you key? Today you’ll meet the founder of Meditating Human, Tiffany Antoine. Tiffany and I discuss her experiences of trauma that led to her powerful moment of realization. What she realized compelled her to change the story and patterns of her lineage, as well as change the entire direction of her life.

Five years ago, Tiffany developed a blueprint merging her two passions, Project Management and Manifestation, to produce a framework which would allow everyone to purposely manifest, steadily, for the rest of their lives. The success of her work inspired her online course, which is also being adapted into a book, Project Manage Your Manifestations. As you’ll learn through our conversation, she is passionate about teaching you how to create a life you want, because that’s exactly what she has done for herself. Tiffany currently hosts a YouTube channel called, Meditating Human, focusing on different aspects of spirituality. Her goal is to make spiritual practices and philosophies more digestible and easier to implement into daily life, in practical ways. She also has her MBA in Management, Graduate Certification in Project Management, is Certified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt and has her PMP.

Bliss Out, Before You Burn Out...

...someone had to say it, but I also have a solution - or two!

Hey, friend…

Happy, freakin’ Friday! Do you have any fun plans for the weekend? Today I danced in the car, after making time for my favorite breakfast. It was fun! Not that anything was overly exciting, but I enjoyed every moment, present and aware of how good the food was, the magic of being in great company and the pure bliss of singing and dancing to “old school” music.

Now, it’s time for work, and I am still deeply grateful for this moment in time to share with you. I usually put my newsletter on the backburner, thinking about all I want to share that will support you on your path, but then I make up a story around not having the time. You do the same thing, right? Something(s) in life that you keep putting off, and it haunts you to no end because you really did have time...

I was talking to the Alchemy Circle members about our relationship to time, being mindful in our moments and asking, “How can I enjoy this?”, no matter what we’re choosing or tasked to do. We also, as usual, ended our class with a guided journey to immerse ourselves in the experience of whatever we discussed.

Do you want to journey, losing the stories of time and just bathing in the bliss of being…even for a few moments? You’ll love it. Make the decision now that you DO have time for you (guided journey below). Before you start, be in a quiet space, free from distraction, and grab something to take note of your experience.

Let me know about your experience on the other side. Meditative journeys are great ways to nourish mind, body and energy, all in one sitting. You can make the most of your downtime, choosing mindful self-connection practices.

I have been a busy-bee lately, managing “regular” work, returning to the podcast and mailing out The Energetic Alchemist Oracle decks. I admit, it has been a rush; exciting and frustrating, comical and mind-bending. It has been…interesting. Without thinking about time, I’ve just been in it. I’m aware of my energy through each moment of expression, aware of my perspectives and amplifying my gratitude through each task. This has made me grateful for time, rather than at war with it. It’s all story. Clear your mind, energy and being…and enjoy the weekend, in JOY!
