Are You Living a Van Gogh Story?

There’s a quote by the legendary Wayne Dyer that brings to light the power of now – and the significance that courage plays into fully realizing one’s potential.

“Don’t die with your music still inside you.”

As a self-empowerment coach for highly-creative and spiritually-minded women who are here to express their life’s purpose through artistic endeavors, I’m fully aware of how much courage it takes to stand in front of an audience and share your unique gifts.

Many adults struggle with courage and end up “holding back” – for an entire lifetime – gifts and talents that could so easily be appreciated by others. (more…)

Finding Light in the Darkness

Like the moon, we all go through phases in our lives. We have ups and downs, we go forward and backward – and sometimes we seem to circle back around. We may hide behind the clouds or peek from beneath the clouds. But in the midst of what can feel like a blackout, when we are open to making a connection with our creative voice, we can get to a point where we’re able to beam with full light

During a new moon phase, the sky is completely black, with the exception of little sparkles of light in the form of stars. It’s the point in every month when the moon takes a retreat and begins to grow again, redoubling her light and reflecting new creative energy on all worldly things.

For creative souls with a desire to live more authentically, this phase represents a time for our own retreat and withdrawal from the outside world. During the darkness, it’s an opportunity to reflect on who we are – underneath the layers of life. It’s a time to turn within and write about our inner thoughts and feelings.

What’s the Universal Gift in Your Life Story?

One of the most powerful films I’ve ever seen is Freedom Writers. It continues to be one of my favorites.
 
It shows the power of journal writing – and telling one’s story through a voice that is unique to the storyteller. And through the pages of sharing this story, a larger sense of purpose begins to unveil.

So much could change in our lives, and in our world, if we just stepped into the power of our life story – learning its lessons, receiving its gifts, and bettering ourselves in the process – then finding our own diamond in the rough, giving it a good polish, and sharing it with others.
 
We all have a jewel of wisdom that’s meant to be shared with others – in a way that only we can share.

My Manifesto as The Moonlight Muse

moonlightmuse-18_border2As The Moonlight Muse, it’s my intention to help highly-creative and spiritually-minded women connect the dots of their life story in a way that makes sense and in a way that feels right.  It’s through this intention that I’m able to help them “Connect with their Creative Purpose. Step into their Life Story. Create their Legacy.”

I’m a lover of story. I genuinely love hearing women tell their life stories. Through their words, through their laughter, through their tears – I hear threads of meaning, threads of purpose. And I have a divine gift for weaving these threads together in a way that unveils a richer life meaning, bringing about deep clarity and synchronistic moments.
