Creative Connections in the Air

On this most recent trip to LA, I didn't have too much of an agenda....I realized quickly in the time leading up to my departure for California that plans really are not what they used to be....as the energies have shifted, so has our concept and sense of time and space. Which in essence alters our ability to make solid plans! My original "plan" was to leave for the south shortly after Canadian Thanksgiving. As things continued to shift, beyond any sense of "control", I chose to completely surrender to the flow of whatever was occurring and allowed the magic of each moment to unfold perfectly in that time and space.

And as always, when we surrender the beauty of each moment, the most incredible gifts arrive! I was honoured to meet many new clients, I connected with a few new soul family girls, I reconnected with an old love in a new way which lead to the opening of my sleeping creative center, I spent valuable time with family and had the opportunity to really just surrender and be with whatever was going to unfold next, without expectation!

So....5 weeks after the "projected" departure date, I boarded the plane and arrived at LAX on November 17! Friends there were asking, "So, what are your plans while you are here? What do you want to accomplish?" In that moment, I honestly answered, "Hmmm, I don't know. I'm just open to the flow of the energy. There are a few things I would like to do. For the most part, I am remaining open to just flow, let be and see what unfolds."

In the first few days of arrival I felt my being adjusting, getting grounding to being in a different space again. Change tends to do that to most of us. So I just allowed myself time to be, go to yoga, take in the ocean, sleep and just observe the space I was in. As I became more and more centered, I clearly could feel the space of stagnation I had been existing in. I wasn't aware of this creative stagnation while I was back in Toronto because I was in it. Which again, is often the case....when we are in the thick of it, we often don't see clearly until we step out, into the unknown and begin to take a birds-eye view or perspective of our life.

As I cleared through the feeling of stagnation and creative blocks, I began to feel lighter and lighter. As I moved through the moments of life I was shown and given experiences to expand upon with regards to writing! The creative process literally blew open! I'm almost finished the writing of one book and started two others as the channel was pouring through me so effortlessly now! I completed the recording a meditation CD, which was so much fun! I connected with others regarding conscious-based projects! It was such a wonderful feeling!

As the journey in LA continued to flow, as did my creativity. I felt more and more radiant. More full. Less of a need to fill with "fillers" - false nourishment. What my body and being was really "craving" was creative flow - the energy and ability to express my life force through me and share it with others! In stepping into this place, I feel a surge of energy and resonance like never before. I feel refreshed, renewed, alive, radiant! And in this openness to receive and express me - fully - becoming more of me, I naturally, without having to do anything, just became it!!

Light! Radiance! Shinning!

Shinning even in times when I didn't feel so shinny. People still sensed it. It's an interesting thing...energy and what we project...especially when we become more of something. People can feel it, sense it even when we think we aren't being that. It's amazing! It showed me the power of energy and light. It really does continue to shine for us - like a reserve, an auto-pilot reserve of energy and light!

People were commenting:
"There's just something about you, you shine."
"You radiant, did you realize that?"
"Your smile is so bright."
"You light people up."
"I sensed something different in you. You glow."

From the beginning of this trip to the return home, there was definitely an opening and realization regarding light projection and creativity and the magic that occurs when we choose to express our unique creative spark!


For example, on my way to Canada I had about 4 hrs of sleep, had been in transit all day, feeling tired and slightly out of it from the frenetic energy at the airports. I wasn't feeling my radiant self and yet I had two incredible, light-filled interactions with two beautiful souls!

The first person, while waiting to board the plane, I felt drawn to. I could sense her essence. I had a feeling we would end up having a conversation. Sure enough, we end up sitting beside each other on the plane! With an open seat between us! We get to talking and she says, "You just have the most radiant smile. I was drawn to it." I share with her how I was drawn to her energy also, she was shinning. We continue to share our stories about life, light, connecting. She, too, very spiritual, with many similarities to my own path. Together, sharing, we radiated. As the plane landed we say how wonderful it was to meet one another, bless each other on our continued paths, and part ways. Such an open-hearted, beautiful encounter!

The second bit of magic occurred while waiting for my connecting flight, in Denver, with a 4-hour layover and gate change three times. Sitting, waiting, feeling good, a little tired and bored. In the crowd of people, all irritated, waiting for the delayed planes, a man walks over to me and asks if this was the connecting gate for Ottawa. We laugh, knowing that it had changed several times in 4 hrs and I had checked the board several times to make sure I was in the right place. As it turns out, I was! I was exactly where I needed to be in that exact moment to connect with the particular person....I just didn't know why yet.....

I noticed his ease and ability to just be, anywhere...sitting on the floor waiting for his charger to finish. In the stillness I tuned into his energy and sensed that he was a part of the music industry somehow. We finally begin boarding the plane and "happen" to be standing beside each other. We start sharing again and sure enough, it turns out he was in LA finishing the production of an album! I share in his excitement with my own with the completion of my meditation CD recording! He continues to tell me that he owns a recording label! And so, the conversation flows on as we talk LA, music, life, healing, travel, the importance of life, expansion and creativity! We share who we are, what we do, what we're working on, the interconnectedness of all things, how like souls can see and recognize like souls. He sensed that there was something different about me. That there was a strong light that he could see in me, that I exude.....and that that was the reason he approached me regarding the gate. I shared with him my reciprocation in sensing his light and creativity.

It was so incredible to have this recognition chat! Two beings seeing each other, supporting one another in our creativity and expression! Which further opened the door to me sharing where I want to go and do next with regards to music and expression!

I sensed between us that we would work together on some creative project at some point. I felt it. We both agreed that we just never know where we intersect and will connect again and who knows who...it's all so elaborate and interconnected! He passes along his business info and mentions for me to get in touch the next time I'm down in LA...that they often gather at the beach, between Santa Monica and Malibu, for a bonfire and jam session!  I love it! I love this sort of thing!! All these creative beings - alive, expressing, sharing, open, gathering, radiant!

Before going our "separate" ways we thank each other for sharing and wish each other well on our respective paths once again...like old friends bidding farewell until next time!

We never really know what's in store for us or what is around the corner! It's when we open to the flow of all things, stand in our creative center and take a courageous step into the unknown that all things align and we draw to us people, places and scenarios that further open and expand us and our heart on so many magical levels!!!!


I love it!!!

Receptivity and Creative Flow

You know, the most incredible things happen when we open to new possibilities and adventures! When we open our heart to receive more of who we really are, we become filled with so much light, love and creativity that it radiates from and permeates through every fiber of our being!! It is like a well-spring of life force! Pure, beautiful, expansive energy that flows through and in us! It is like the elixir of life, of youth - our own personal "fountain of youth" - that uniquely expresses through each of us! It is always present. Always abundant. A limitless supply of life force, creative energy!!!

When we move into this open, receptive, creative space - to allow - we feel rejuvenated and alive! Like a spark igniting our internal flame! And the more we allow, the more we fill, the more we receive. We become a receptical for more positive, life force, creative energy to flow! So much so, that our body, our very cells begin to reflect this light and flow of energy. People start to notice! People can see it, feel it, pick up on it. I've experienced this so many times, especially in times of creative flow! Strangers, people I know, clients....it's the same...they see it, feel it, sense it.

During my time in LA, I really entered into a creative energy space that was so incredibly expansive and vast! My entire being was vibrating! Pulsating with life force! During my travels in LA and during my flight home, I really tuned into the magnitude of what was occurring!

When we consciously allow this flow to infuse with us regularily - when it becomes a part of our life - it literally becomes us. We becomes it! There is no distinction or differentiation. Only expansion! It is all one! It all all connected. We begin to pulsate with a frequency that draws to us similiar frequencies. We get to connect with each other more deeply, more fully, more radiantly! We can sense it in each other! And when we do come across this similiar vibration of energy in another, we want to share it, expand it in each other, support one another and be a part of the other's creation....because we know and feel that together we could create an even greater masterpiece!! There's then no separation. No competition. No comparison. Only connection and igniting! We draw to each other more and more and more. Our life becomes more and more full and radiant! And we WANT to share it!

What happens next.....?

We begin to light others up and elevate together! Our conversations become higher and more conscious. Our interactions become more heart-based, soul-focused. The relations with all become more full, enriched, beautiful, honest, expansive, open. We create a ripple of igniting simply by be-ing, by engaging in and sharing who we are and our own unique, creative expression of light! We being to harmonize - HARMONIC SYMBIOSIS!

Frequencies igniting and interacting and blending together in union - connecting like a beautiful song so perfectly orchestrated and arranged. One that uplifts, moves and inspires on so many levels!

Second Wave of Gratitude

Being in the US right now, at this time, has blessed me with the gift of a second Thanksgiving!!! It occurred to me last night, while taking in the radiance of sound, healing, uplifting energy and community at one of the many spiritual churches/centers in California!  My friend Pam Gerrand is here in LA at this time also and she graced this spiritual community with her angelic voice....always such a treat to feel the powerful resonance of Pam's spirit flowing through her like a sonic massage!  The "sermon", on the American Thanksgiving eve, was based around gratitude, being thankful for all that we have and are blessed with in this life!

As I received I felt soooo incredibly thankful to be reminded of the power of gratitude.....to be receiving this Thanksgiving blessing for a second time this fall!  It was wonderful!

Here are a few of the things that I am deeply and powerfully grateful for in my life:
- To be here, in California, to share love and light with others.
- To celebrate a second Thanksgiving - first one with my Canadian family, the second with my American friends and soul families.
- To feel the warmth of the sun, see the green of the trees, the colours of the rich flowers blossoming at this time of year.
- To my family and friends and community back home, in Canada....I miss them dearly and think of them often...wishing they were here with me!
- To be able to wear flipflops and tank tops at the end of November!
- To be of service and help to uplift others to their own beautiful light and love....to have an impact on the life's of others in such a positive, transformative way!
- To give back to those in need.
- For the beautiful people I have connected with here, in California...for an incredible place to stay...to my "Elevate" community for a sacred sanctuary to call home while here!
- For good food, decadent lattes and my most favourite food of all time...chocolate!
- For the incredible possibilities that are continuously flowing into my life and my ability to say yes, and take a step toward the creation and manifestation of them!!!
- For abundance!
- For the miraculous ability to be here, to be alive, to BE, to live life on the beautiful planet.....

There are soooo many things to be grateful for! At this time! Always!  Life is so spectacular!  A truly amazing gift!!!!

We are in a space of gratitude.....Reminding us of the power of gratitude....that what we call attention to, what we are grateful for, sends out an incredible energy that draws to us, like a magnet, more things to be grateful for!  We are ever abundant, always supported, forever loved, creatively filled with our own unique expression of light, and surrounded with and nourished by infinite supply!!


On this American Thanksgiving day, take a moment and feel within your being all the things you are grateful for......
Sending to you much love and radiance!
