Trusting in the Authenticity of your Experience

If we could breech the boundaries of time and look back on our childhood experiences with fresh eyes, we would see that our relationship to our experiences were authentic.  Authenticity has many faces, but the one we are looking at now is the authenticity of trust.  As we mature, our minds tend to form these check points that  act as filters to our experiences; these check points start to take over for the trust we once had for the true experiences we once enjoyed.

We gain trust in this process because it makes us feel more in control of the circumstances that we are engulfed in every day, but the truth is…we are not in control.  Sure we can make educated decisions that play out in (more…)

Recent email I received:  “I have been thinking about this lately, how or when we lose it- the ability to follow our intuition?” – Amy

Good question.  So good, in fact, that I am sharing the answer I gave with you all.

This question is a great example of not trusting your intuition.

See the intellect wants there to be “the answer” for this question, but intuition tells us there is only YOUR ANSWER. Everyone has there own answer to how, when or if they lose their ability to follow their intuition. (more…)

Opening to Abundance

Posted on 17. Jun, 2010 by in The Goo Blog

Having a new intention today was a bit challenging.

Keeping the intention of opening to supportive abundance in all areas of my life was new and a bit clumsy.  The guidance I received was to trust.

Instead of trying to figure out where the abundance is, just trust that if it feels like (more…)

What Is Your Passion?

Posted on 03. Jun, 2010 by in The Goo Blog

One way to start to find out what is your passion is to ask yourself what is it that you love to talk about.  Once you get started you can’t stop.  It is effortless.  Actually it is invigorating and energizing to talk about this topic or item.

For me it was a toss up between energy work/empowerment and sustainable building.  If someone got me started talking about either one, I could talk for hours and never realize it. (more…)

Cheeseburger in Paradise

Posted on 06. May, 2010 by in The Goo Blog

I often use the example making a perfect cheeseburger to explain how we all must find our own answers.  (my apologies to the vegetarians reading this, please feel free to substitute a veggie burger or a portabella mushroom for your example)

My perfect cheeseburger would consist of a plump, juicy beef patty grilled medium on the BBQ grill, served on a toasted onion roll.  The bottom of the onion roll would have a nice layer of garlic infused mayonnaise spread on it.  On top of the burger would be a slice of melted sharp cheddar cheese, grilled onions, sautéed mushrooms, three slices of crisp bacon, topped off with a generous portion of hickory smoked BBQ sauce.  An additional portion of bbq sauce would be served along side for dipping.

Throw Your Scale in The River

Posted on 09. Apr, 2010 by in The Goo Blog

I was speaking with a friend of mine yesterday and she mentioned she weighed more than she had in a very long time but people were saying that she looked healthy.

She was having to get used to her body feeling different than it had.  And it was strange.

Unfortunately, in our culture we place a great deal of importance on weight.  As if a certain weight equals health.  Now weight obviously plays a role, but it is not the only factor. (more…)

Taking a Break From Frustration

Posted on 10. Mar, 2010 by in The Goo Blog

Have you ever had one of those days where you felt like you weren’t getting anything accomplished?  I do.  In fact I had one of those days yesterday.

I wanted to get things done.  In fact there were lots of things I wanted to accomplish yesterday, but I couldn’t seem to make headway on any of them.

The harder I tried, the more frustrated I became.  So, naturally, I tried harder.  I was going to push my way through this and get something done. (more…)

Ho’oponopono Rocks!

Posted on 24. Feb, 2010 by in The Goo Blog

So here I was in the middle of a past-life meltdown.  Beating myself up for what I had done in a particular past life. (it was not pretty)  And sitting in victimhood.  Believing I could not possibly be released and forgiven having done such a horrible thing.  (let’s just say there were more than a few deaths that I had a fairly direct roll in during this particular past-life)

My friend Claudia suggested I do Ho’oponopono to forgive myself and release this limiting energy.  Here is what she told me: (more…)

Follow the Energy

Have you ever felt like you needed to do something like write a paper for school, clean the house or get a report done for work, but just could not seem to do it. Try as you may, you just could not make it happen.

Everything was easier and more enticing to do than the task at hand. Checking email, doing laundry, doing your taxes, cleaning the office, baking cookies. You name it, virtually anything could distract you from what you wanted to get accomplished.

I was in this exact situation last week as (more…)

Shadows are Dynamite

Posted on 17. Feb, 2010 by in The Goo Blog

Have you ever done something that you were certain was going to go so right only to have it blow up in your face? If you are like me, this has happened more than once in your lifetime.

It can take all kinds of forms.  From preparing a special meal for someone only to find out they can’t stand some of the ingredients, to accepting a job you are sure will propel you in your career but it turns out to be a nightmare or even the classic, offering a kiss to someone and (more…)
