I don’t often do sales on coaching sessions and packages, but I’m doing one right now. If you’ve wanted me to work with you, now is a great time. You can purchase coaching sessions in advance to use at a future date or gift to friends and loved ones.
I don’t like telling anyone to hurry because I don’t like being told that. So, be mindful that these prices will only last until Saturday, Dec. 4, 2021. Give the gift of healing and transformation this holiday season!

I was talking with someone recently about how 2020 was a hard year in many ways, but it also went by very quickly. (Thank God for that.) Facing troubled times is part of life. These moments can make or break us, but the incredible news is that you get to determine the outcome. I always advise people to move through difficult times and not pitch a tent or (worse yet) build a house and live there. If you can be cognizant of facing troubled times in your life with grace and dignity while focusing on how you can change yourself, then you are doing it perfectly and will have a positive outcome.
Last Halloween night, I remembered something I had totally forgotten. When I was in college, I went to a haunted house with some of my sorority sisters. I am not a haunted house kind of girl. I don’t watch scary movies. I don’t allow negative energy like that around me at all because I protect my kingdom and don’t want that negative energy around or in me. However, that night. I went.
I remember standing in line with my sisters, and a couple of guys were next to us. I didn’t know them, but I grabbed both of their arms and told them they were going through that haunted house with me and instructed them to not allow anyone to touch me. I remembered standing in-between them with my head down and eyes closed. Those poor guys must have had sore arms for days after I got finished with them because I was holding on tight to both of them, but I got through it (with the help of two total strangers).
It is perfectly alright to seek help when you’re going through a difficult time — In fact, that is exactly the time to seek help. (I offer coaching services, if you were not aware.) When I was in graduate school studying Marriage & Family Therapy and Clinical Mental Health Counseling, it was stressed to us that every good therapist has a therapist. I’ve often described it like this: When you’re in the middle of a tornado, (I can imagine) all you can see are the cows and pickup trucks swirling around you. You have no idea where you are or what’s going on outside the storm. That’s where a professional or close friend comes into play because these people outside your situation can see things very clearly and can guide you in a positive direction. Part of changing your life and moving in a positive direction is letting go of resentments.
“Letting go of resentments … means we accept what happened in the past, and we set boundaries for the future,” wrote Melody Beattie in The Language of Letting Go. “We try to see the good in the person, or the good that ultimately evolved from whatever incident we feel resentful about. We try to see our part.” I believe one good way to redirect our focus and come to a place of acceptance is to practice gratitude.
When I was a little girl, my Pa-Paw liked to tinker with objects and make new creations out of them. He would catch grasshoppers, shellack them, make cowboy hats out of felt, microphones out of straight pins with colored balls on the ends, and whittle instruments out of wood to create a grasshopper band in a class jar. (I have one that is not my style but is one of my prized possessions since his passing.) He also made a pig pen out of wood with pecans as the pigs and imitation pearls glued to the floor. On the bottom, underneath it, he wrote, “Matthew 7:6, [Christ said] “’Do not give that which is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, for they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.’”
That was a powerful illustration that I will always remember. It means that — just like real pearls formed inside a clam shell through the process of irritation from a grain of sand — we hold great value from the irritating process of life that we have experienced. We can allow each and every experience to give value to our lives by learning the lessons, or we can choose to become a bitter victim — this choice will leave you disempowered and at the mercy of other people outside yourself, and I don’t recommend it.
I believe that we are all sacred, beautiful beings. We are holy just for existing — regardless of our past behaviors. That’s why it’s so important to guard the castle — as I often like to say — and not allow just anyone to be part of our lives or build a home in our hearts or minds. Just know that you deserve to have people in your life who resonate at the same vibrational, spiritual level that you do. If you have been functioning in low-energy behaviors such as anger, fear, jealousy, envy, drama and being in service to self, this may indicate that you have been attracting people who display the same behaviors. You can change this about yourself. Once you do the internal work, you will notice that you will begin attracting people who resonate on a higher frequency of love, joy, peace, kindness, optimism and who are in service to others.
