Dear friend,
This one is a bit long, but worth it. I’m about to share some parts of my life story I’ve never shared publicly to this degree — specifically about heartbreaks and Dark Nights, and how they can remake you into a Queen. As they have for me.
I also have a free workshop next week, which I’ll share more about in a moment, but feel free to learn more and reserve your seat now:
Mining For Gold in the Dark Night of Your Soul
How Life’s Hardest Heartbreaks Can Remake You Into a Queen
I’ve packed a lot of WOW into this blog post.
Stay tuned. Something in here might just restore some of your hope in mankind and support you with whatever heartbreak you may be wading your way through.
It all starts in the check-out line at my favorite grocery store.
Whenever D is working, I push my cart into his station. It’s going on two years now that we’ve been chatting and sharing little details of our lives as he scans and I bag.
As he often does, D asks me how my “little man” is. Since the pandemic, I don’t bring my son into stores anymore, and he is missed.
Then D says something so wow-inspiring I titled this whole blog post in honor of it.
New Year’s wishes of ease and grace to you!
A few days ago, on the cusp of our collective leap out into 2021, I shared some of The Only Prayers You Really Ever Need:
Help
Thanks
Wow
Sorry
Mmmmmm
F*^#$@!!!!!&?cK!
These are non-denominational prayers, of course. Prayers suited to the particular sensibilities of my fellow rebels and heathens.
I also promised to share each of those Five Prayers with you, in the forms of poems, paintings, dances, glances.
So here is highly-esteemed number one on the list: Help.
I’ve been trying to come up with something meaningful to share with you at the close of this deeply disturbing 2020 and the rise of a hopeful new year. Yet I’ve found myself quite silent.
However I want to be in some kind of useful touch, my friend.
So I figured prayers would be just the thing.
Non-denominational prayers, of course. Prayers suited to the particular sensibilities of my fellow rebels and heathens. Prayers in the forms of poems, paintings, dances, glances.
I was scanning the news a while back, reading sound bytes from voters, explaining their support of Donald Trump. I was especially interested in one from a woman who shared that she supported Trump because she found him to be a “strong leader.”
A strong leader.
A strong leader?!?
A series of lights went on in my mind. I realized that the ways this woman defines strength and leadership are vastly different than how I define strength and leadership. Worlds apart. Universes apart.

"LiYana taught me how to get in touch with my desires, express them, and receive them. she taught me to embody yes, to make each moment more pleasurable than the last … and probably the most profound of her masterful skills as a coach, to artfully dance with fears and limiting beliefs until it felt […]

"i had hidden away a huge part of myself – call it creative life-force, sensuality or inner guidance. (i call it all of those!) i thank LiYana for being a huge part of helping me thaw. i have access to guidance that blows me away every time I hear it and follow it. i channel it […]
