I voted in the election this week and I hope you did too. Every day, in every moment, we vote for our own lives. We vote with our thoughts, our beliefs, and the choices we make. In each moment we vote for what we want and don’t want, and who we want to be or not. So, I have a question for you. Are you voting in favor of yourself, in favor of living into the fullness of who you are? Do your choices reflect the potential for a kickass life, or are you settling for something less?

“What if every morning you woke up and said, ‘the entire universe is for me?’” ~Michael Bernard Beckwith

Imagine what life might be like if, every morning as you move into the consciousness of awakening, you knew that absolutely everything that happens today is for you? That the very idea of a good day or bad day is simply the meaning we apply to our experiences. That problems are only temporary situations that either need to be dealt with in the moment or allowed to dissolve or be resolved at a later time. How might you live your life differently?

“There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” Albert Einstein

What if you decide – choose – to see everything as a miracle? What if you vote for love everyday? The miracle of waking up to an new day. Perhaps you wake up in a comfy bed, a warm home, and to the presence of loved ones – a spouse, partner, child, or pet. Are you excited having a hot shower, the warm water cascading over your body? Does the act of flipping a switch and turning on the light feel like a miracle to you? How about the miracle of a morning coffee or breakfast, the clothes in your closet, the shoes on your feet, and toothpaste! There is the miracle of transportation – public or private – even if we encounter traffic. Are you looking forward with joyful anticipation to all the possibilities of the day?

I once heard Tony Robbins talking about how easily we relate to and understand when someone says they are unhappy yet we seem unable to understand when or why people are happy (paraphrasing). Actually, I think we are afraid to admit when we’re happy – isn’t life supposed to be a struggle? It’s not ‘trendy’ to admit to feeling possible each day. If you’re like me, you’ve diminished your happiness because you were afraid it would make other’s uncomfortable or piss them off. And, I’ve had people pissed at me for the very act of being happy.

But, does a room get brighter when you turn off the light?

I am a happiness warrior. And I am on a mission to help all women who have the desire to live into the fullness of who they really are. To shine their light and live a kickass life. The possibility and potential lives within each of us. I realize that life isn’t always rainbows, ice cream, and unicorns pooping gum drops. It’s more like a roller coaster of ups and downs, highs and lows. We are constantly in motion, and we can’t avoid the ups and downs of change. Nonetheless, I believe much of the pain and unhappiness we experience is a result of trying to hang onto the way we ‘think it should be’ rather than allowing ourselves to be in the flow of life and be pulled forward by our desires. We can change the way we look at things, and this can make all the difference.

“Tell me what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” ~Mary Oliver

Life doesn’t wait to happen when we have more time to pay attention or more money to be comfortable or more love to feel safe. We are life happening in this very moment. Most of us however are waiting for something to really, fully live. Suppose the universe truly is here for me, and you, and our disbelief is the only thing keeping us from our good? Imagine that we trust that the world is a safe place to belong and everything is always working out for our highest good? What if we decide to believe in ourselves and the power of our dreams? What if we choose to be with this present moment and see the miracle right here, right now?

How will you vote for you everyday?

Will you choose love or fear? Will you make choices that are aligned with your deepest dreams and desires? Are you ready to choose your magnificence over a life of mediocrity?  Do you have the willingness to live into your dreams and create a kickass life of your own? Will you vote to stop living out of habit and take a leap into the unknown? Will you vote to reclaim yourself and live beyond your limiting beliefs?

What are you willing to discover about yourself? Are you ready to feel possible? I’d be honored to be your guide.

From my heart to yours,
