Kelly’s Blog:

TIME is speeding up again. The pandemic gave us a strange and necessary glimpse of who and what was important in our lives. Many of us had extended time to spend with those we love while others were separated. Truly the world will never be the same again for humans. The old structures in our world are disintegrating and the new structure is not yet in place. Social and political extremes are the norm. Technology is exploding and it feels as though we are on the precipice of something huge. There are so many issues seeking resolution and solution is not quite visible. This can create RESISTANCE to aligning with the new energy. We are learning to live in peace with paradox by letting go of our judgements, our wounding, and finding happiness even within what we cannot change…. quite yet.

Hello! This is my first blog. I woke up this morning thinking about change and the difficulty most of us have moving forward on our dreams. We often wait for some imagined perfect timing before acting on a plan. All of our ducks must be in a row before we take action. The universe is watching and waiting to see if we are serious about our desires. The moment we actually take action on our desires the universe takes note and the path becomes clearer with every step forward. The universe begins sending gifts of opportunity that assist us toward manifesting what we desire. The lesson of all of this is do not wait to take a step forward any step at all is better than waiting. Before you know it you will turn around one day and see how far you’ve come.

Winter Solstice Blessings 2022

December 16, 2022

Winter Solstice Blessings We are nearing the Solstice, the shortest day of our year. As the sun comes up on that day take a moment to understand the brief and precious time we have. Don’t beat yourself up for what you have not accomplished yet. Let the faces of those who love you come into your mind. Dream about what you long for……I’m full of emotions this morning as I look back on the year. The blessings, the challenges, love, heartache, and growth lead me to a deeper peace of what I cannot change and to be more engaged with what I can. My desire to help has shown me where to pull back and just love. Relationships we cannot heal are particularly painful. I have many tools in my years of experience to offer as guidance. However, there are times when nothing I offer seems to help. One of my teachers shared with me that when you reach an impasse, put those things in a basket. Raise the basket to the sky and give them away to Spirit to “figure out”. From your hands to the hands of spirit. Blessings to each of you. May our troubles be small and our gratitude great…
