Will you do as much as it takes, as long as it takes? 2017 is asking.

Listen. It’s time. This is it. 2017. New. Year. Now.

I for one am going deeper and higher. I’m reaching inward for my strength, facing my Soul, and I’m going to pour my devotion to the Light all over every word I speak, and every human I encounter and adore and hold. Who’s with me?

All of my failures can be traced to my silence.

Every. single. One. Getting fired from the company that I co-founded happened because I had gone months without speaking up. I overpaid for some things because I didn’t want to appear unreasonable, so I just stopped… negotiating. Failed to protect. Failed to love. Failed to lead. Failed to make art. Failed to speak up.

So… for navigational and encouragement purposes, I give you…The Fire Starter Sessions Audio Course: A soulful + practical guide to creating success on your own terms

There is nothing passive about “having Faith.” (And how to deal with doubt).

Faith is the “work” in “Light work”. It scrubs and rinses and steadily erases doubt. Faith stays on doubt’s ass: I see you. I dissolve you. I replace you with Faith. And then doubt will pop up again. And Faith is right there: Yep, I heard you. I choose faith. Yep, I know the odds, I choose Faith. And because Faith knows the natural order of things, she says to doubt: You’ll probably be back later this week. But I’ll still choose Faith.

How to be yourself…when you can’t really be yourself.

“Just be yourself.” Most common self-help sermon ever. I’ve been preaching it for years. Except…being yourself doesn’t always work. Sometimes it’s dangerous. Sometimes it’s not worth the frustration or the futility. I want you to blaze brightly in the world. I want you to fly your Soul flag—all your colours, sounds, and sonnets.

Are you feeling the “collective pain”? Here’s how to manage that…

A lot of us are experiencing our own personal pain AND tapping into global, collective pain at the same time. We’re marching, or emphatically not marching. We’re crying in the kitchen, out of the blue. We’re heavy with emotion by noon. My loves, it’s critical that you let the pain move through you. You have to keep letting it go.
