It’s been great meeting so many of you at the public events I’ve participated in this past month. If you tried to catch me on Friday, December 17th at the second Winterfest date, my apologies. I wasn’t feeling terrific and knew that sitting in a cold, wet tent for four-plus hours would not serve me well. Tonight is my last big holiday event, and then I can enjoy Christmas week for myself. If you’re still looking for unique gifts, consider a tarot reading gift certificate!  I don’t have to tell you that these are strange times. Even before Covid. I do believe Friedrich Nietzsche was right when he said, “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger,” and I have seen myself and many of my clients improving their lives over these challenging times. Conversely, you’ve probably also witnessed many around you crashing hard, full of fear and broken dreams. This is a time when we must protect ourselves: body, mind, and spirit. We must become the best, strongest versions of ourselves, not only to power through disease and despair but to be examples of light and be a model to others on how to cope. I begin each day with a prayer to be love and light to everyone I touch. The world is gonna do what the world is gonna do, but I can handle my little corner of it.
A warning: I have seen a lot of “false prophets” out there lately, to steal a biblical expression. When you are looking for a mentor to guide you, whether it be as a spiritual or life coach, or a business or financial coach, or a counselor helping with relationships, make sure this person not only practices what they preach, but that they are successful in what they are teaching. Ask yourself: is this person modeling the life I want? If your investment broker or business consultant isn’t financially successful, if your therapist or life coach can’t sustain a personal relationship (sometimes harder to find out)…run! You wouldn’t take vocal lessons from someone who can’t sing, right? Would you go to a pack-a-day smoker to quit smoking? And you shouldn’t get healing, spiritual or physical, from someone who does not practice wellness and good health. I once met a man putting together a masterclass for sale on making money in Bitcoin. But here’s the joke: he had approached me because he knew my son had done well in it. The guy personally had invested nothing and knew nothing (As you might guess, he never had any success with that). When I was pregnant with my first son, I took a Lamaze class and learned (too late) that the woman had never had a baby! Yes, anyone can have valuable information for you. Sometimes spirit will bring some precious advice from a random stranger on the street corner who may not even know they’ve communicated an epiphany to you. I’m not saying your mentor should be perfect—no one is. But when you are seeking someone for guidance out of hard times, or when you’re about to invest monetarily in coaching, choose your mentors carefully. What is their training? What has inspired them and who are their heroes? Is this potential mentor in alignment with your principles? Do they embody the vibe you want to create for yourself? Are they positive and making a difference, or are they angry and stuck in reaction to current events? Are they empowered or do they live in a victim mindset? Do they reflect a healthy body, mind, and spirit? I tell my clients: don’t take advice from anyone whose life you would not want to live. If you’re interested in working with me and want to ask some questions first about what I do and how I operate, I am open to a conversation at no charge. Call or text me at 314-517-0158.
