It’s been quite some time since you’ve heard fro me, and that’s because I’ve been going through quite a transformational journey that has required all of me.

Since August of 2015, I’ve had the following life-changing, mind-blowing, soul-expanding experiences:

• Full blown pneumonia when I was 8-months pregnant
• Pre-eclampsia and 3-days of hospitalization followed immediately by…
• Emergency cesarean birth of my son Ocean and another 4-day hospital stay
• Being initiated, in a not so subtle way, into motherhood!
• Mastitis
• 3 months of intense in-home post-partum healing
• The death of our beloved dog of 17 years, Dinga
• An acute intestinal infection that lasted 3-months – I will spare you the details!
• 10+ months of wheezing, coughing and frequently struggling to breathe
• The death of my uncle, my Dad’s best friend
• Letting go of a key support person in my life
• Finding and hiring a new support person who is surpassing all expectations

All of these very physical experiences initiated a lot of inner transformation as well. This is the stuff that no one sees or really knows is going on because it’s less tangible. But to me, these internal shifts are some of the most powerful things that happen when change is knocking on your door. For me, these inner adjustments have included:

• Releasing old patterns and beliefs (small thinking, really) that weren’t serving me any longer
• Learning to trust and love my body, even though it felt so sick and broken
• Recognizing where I was tolerating things in my life that weren’t up to my standards or my desires
• Choosing the best for myself instead of settling for less
• Setting boundaries with people and situations that didn’t feel healthy to me
• Strengthening communication with my husband
• Watching my son grow into the active, smart, confident little man he is
• Returning to my work with a fresh perspective, and a lot of wisdom gained
• Discovering a new definition of health, healing, and vitality for myself
• Sinking into a level of appreciation – for life, for health, and for faith in a bigger reason – that I didn’t know was possible

To say it’s been a journey that has turned my world upside down and inside out would be an understatement. This chapter has been the most challenging one of my life to date. But throughout this journey I have steadfastly held a fierce dedication to positivity, growth, and to discovering how all of this was happening for me.

The alternative of feeling like a victim to it all, although tempting at times, just doesn’t feel good, nor does it help anyone grow when life hands you something unexpected and challenging.

Sure, I had my tear-filled moments (some of which lasted longer than a moment). I also faced some of my greatest fears.  It’s been a messy, unpredictable, down right difficult time in my life. And, there has also been so much beauty and love present each and every day.

Much like the caterpillar that undergoes a complete metamorphosis – an actual liquification process – before it transforms into a butterfly, I have been forever changed and enriched by everything that has taken place in the past 10 months.

I think about things differently. I do things differently. Virtually nothing is as it was.

So, why am I sharing all of this with you?

Believe it or not, amidst all of this alchemical chaos and intensity, I’ve actually been creating something pretty special with you in mind.

In the next few weeks I’ll be sharing a lot about a new concept that I am birthing into the world. I call it Soul-Luxe Living.

This concept is about designing and creating an intoxicating life for yourself, on your terms, in the most aligned, soulful and delicious ways possible.

Soul-Luxe Living is about seeing life as a game, learning to play it fully, and seeing just how good it can get.

It’s about learning to orient yourself to your life in a way that allows each and every day to feel luxurious, fulfilling, pleasurable, magical, and beautiful – no matter what is showing up in your life.

It’s about opening up to the possibility that you are a powerful chooser and creator, that you can have exactly what you want, and that who you are, at your core, is completely perfect and loveable, always.

When it comes to Soul-Luxe Living, the only question you have to ask yourself is, “How good am I going to allow this to look and feel?”

In the next few weeks I’ll be sharing a lot with you about Soul-Luxe living and what I’ve discovered is necessary to step into a truly soulful, luxurious, healthy and beautiful life.

Here are a few examples of what you can expect to receive from me in the very near future:

• My juicy and practical tips on how to start living the life you dream of right away – even if you think you can’t
• Details about the 4 core elements that must be present for you to step into Soul-Luxe Living, and how to incorporate them into your life right away
• Powerful and delicious ways that you can achieve what I like to call “High-End Health”
• My insights on how to navigate through the journey that stepping out of status quo living requires you to take
• Inspiration, motivation and oodles of soul-affirming appreciation for everything that’s possible in your life
• Invitations to join a community of like-minded women who are stepping into their version of Soul-Luxe Living
• Keys for shifting yourself and your life out of the mundane and into the magical
• Opportunities to choose and create exactly what you want in your life – we’re making the impossible possible, together!
• And more…!

It’s time to stop struggling. It’s time to let go of needing to convince others (or yourself) that you deserve a spectacularly happy life. It’s time to stop ignoring your desires and living only to please others. And it’s definitely time to step into being the powerful creator that you are.

It’s time to recognize that you can have exactly what you want, and you can receive it without struggle, exhaustion or pain.

It’s time to live your life, the way you’ve always wanted to.

Let’s discover together just how powerful , beautiful and amazing you really are, and just how good life can get!

Stay tuned. I have so much to share with you.
