Hello dear one,
Yes, I did say “welcoming” 2022. I may be an outlier but I am not already wishing to crush 2022 into dust, the way many of us wished we could do to 2020 and 2021.
I’m actually doing pretty well. And I’m actually smiling when I think about the year unfolding itself, day by day and week by week, like a red carpet into the unknown.
I want to share with you the very simple ritual I did to welcome 2022.
hi you wonderful you,
big news to share.
i am going on a much needed Sabbatical, a Sacred Pause, to revivify my creative self and rest my weary service muscles for a spell. for a year, i think.
what does this mean for you? for us? read on a bit; i’ve got you.
There’s a lot about my life I’d like to change right now. I can see pretty lucidly what’s not working and where the problems are, but I’m actually experiencing an even bigger problem.
The way I’ve gone about creating new futures for myself, now rings hollow.
I used to do the “vision board” thing: create a very clear vision of what I want, write out lists with criteria as specific as possible, and then send that desire out into the Universe.
If that way is working for you, hallelujah. It works for a lot of people. It’s worked for me in the past. It’s no longer working for me.
So I’m in this in-between place of wanting a different future, but lacking new tools to help me get there.
In a profound conversation I recently had with my coach, she laughed as I described the “vision board” way of manifesting.
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.
” the clarity to leave my marriage. then falling in epic love. doubling then tripling my business while having energy left over for what’s next. the thing that makes it all work … “
"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 looked at LiYana’s stunning home life … the way she succeeds in her business in a way that is inherently feminine: continuing to move forward, but always allowing versus forcing … the kind of quality of respect that she garners from the people in the world who I admire the most … all of […]
"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 […]
"i thought i had to do it all and that if i had too much pleasure, everything would fall apart. i had gotten really good at running a highly profitable business, keeping on my son’s nap schedule and making sure that the to-do list was handled, but my inability to enjoying pleasure for pleasure’s sake […]
