Loving Rock Tumbling
I am very excited to write this post and share with you my new adventure of rock tumbling! I have been in the process of rewriting my story, living day to day from a context that excites me and has me look forward with anticipation. My context is treasure hunting. I love shiny things, polished…

Treasure Hunting
What a great topic, especially since it’s the context for which I frame my life! I love adventure and exploring – in all areas. When treasure hunting for example, became the concept to frame my life – then anything and everything that happens, is directly related to the context – meaning it all has a…

Rewriting Your Story
I’ve been away from blog world for a bit – rewriting my story. Is it even possible to give yourself a brand new story, one that defines your present as well as your future? Why yes, it is! We made up the ‘old’ story to begin with through our limited beliefs and conditioning. What happened…

What to do? – The Bystander Effect
I saw this video on a friend’s facebook page and it really made an impact, especially with what’s been going on in my life lately regarding speaking up and being authentic. Please watch the video – you won’t regret it!

Creating a Context for Your Life
I’ve been struggling with where to place my experience from last week, the one where I confronted a man’s actions of blatant disregard for property. (read more here) I can’t quite qualify it because it was very unlike me and I couldn’t stop myself. I know it happened for a reason, just not sure how…

Authentically Congruent
The state of being awake and aware, building upon my last post about awareness, is a complete, embodied knowing that freedom of expression is possible. With this sense of freedom also comes less fear – and visa versa. My expression had taken a massive hit to the point of being completely shut down by the…

Awareness is Power
We are told knowledge is power. That may be true, but I also feel awareness in its own right is also very powerful. I looked up Awareness and one definition was: conscious knowledge. I love that phrase, conscious knowledge. Have you ever experienced a time when you’ve heard yourself saying: Wow, I knew that, but…

Joy to the World
Not so much a late Christmas post, but more of a preview of what’s shown up unexpectedly for me. Sometimes I get really down. The truth, or rather my truth as I know it, can be burdensome. The war over consciousness is real and maintaining a semblance of peace and open-heartedness is difficult for me…

Claim it!
I was feeling a bit under the weather a few days ago, like I was coming down with something. I felt tired, had a bit of a sore throat, and I was getting weaker. I could actually feel and watch myself decline into the belief I was getting sick. A sudden, noticeable voice in my…

What we Think we Know
As it turns out, not much. Back in the late 1980’s I participated in the Landmark Forum. It was a very powerful and transformative experience. The processes within the Forum, many developed by Werner Erhard in the 1970’s, provide effective teachings to help you face your fear in order to live life authentically. In one…

Divergence – Having to let go
People are going to do what they want regardless of what I think. Yes, I know this, but some intense force of urgency came over me a couple years ago and overruled my common sense: I tried my hardest to change people’s perceptions. Stupid? Well, yes. We’re getting into Einstein’s definition of insanity here: doing…

Breaking Free from Imposed ‘Reality’
Piggy-backing onto my last post regarding organic vs artificial, let’s suppose, for example, we are all in a game, living on a game board. We can call it the Matrix, like the movie, or call it a simulation. The person who is ‘me = Donna’ is represented by my game piece, or avatar. I move…

Finding the Truth Within
Finding our inner truth can be challenging at the best of times. Add in fear, heightened emotions and living in ‘the age of information warfare’ – good luck! I don’t know about you, but the world seems louder to me. Time seems faster and there is so much going on. We are constantly being bombarded…

What Really Matters in Life?
I was recently on a WordPress course called ‘Where is Your Audience Hiding?’ It was quite good and went deeper than I though it would. I had to look at what makes me unique, why am I different, and why would someone want to read what I write and who would that person be. We…

A Return to Innocence
I’ve made a career out of being hard on myself. I’ve been my own worst enemy and abuser, experiencing cycles that delve into darkness, shutting down and withdrawing – closing off to the world and becoming unavailable. However, I do have the ability to carry on as if nothing’s wrong and fit in – when…

A Divine Demonstration
I recently spent a week on Iona island in Scotland where I found myself living and witnessing a very powerful Divine demonstration. The island’s guardian is Columba, a very special being. On the first evening of my arrival, a friend of mine who I travelled with and had been to the island many times before,…

An Opportunity to Heal
Not sure how anyone can escape being effected by the events happening on the world stage at this time in history. I wouldn’t blame any one for feeling anger, frustration, fear or even trauma. The world can feel like a very unsafe place to be right now. Propaganda or not, it’s a very challenging time…

Surrendering – it Works
I have a lot of experience with surrendering. Actually, to be more truthful, I have more experience not surrendering and using my willpower to bully on through, beyond where stopping, or at least slowing down would’ve been a better option. Using my willpower to push past where I’m meant to go is very tiring and…

Sacrificing for the Bottom Line
I’ve held many positions within organizations – manager, customer service front-line, running an owner’s million dollar business, project manager, contractor, and employee left to my own devices. Every once in a while this quote from Werner Erhard comes into my consciousness:

You are You, end of Story
It’s taken me forever to write another blog post simply because I really get that no two people are the same!! I knew this but it felt nebulous, or casual in a way. How can I write posts about growing spiritually if we are all different? The guidance I give is based on my personal…
