I’m excited to share a gift created just for you. This ‘Pay Attention‘ MP3 download provides a contemplative glimpse into the Mystery ahead. I suggest a listen now, and again at the Spring Equinox, at Summer Solstice and once more at Fall Equinox.

Each listening will bring additional ideas and inspirations for remaining focused on the main event for us this year: change our thinking, become more creative than we have imagined in the past and propel possibility and potential forward.

2019 showed us a view that requires revision. Re-Vision. How does that happen for you?

I experience resistance first. On the recording, we look at 12 forms of resistance so you can do a review for yourself. Next, my subconscious mind throws patterns of doubt, indecision, and fear in front of me. Fortunately, I’m on to these gremlins and I turn to face them. That doesn’t make for ease or comfort however eye to eye with these mischief-makers is what I have found dispells their desire to stop me in my tracks. In 2020 we will do ourselves and those around us a favor as we take on the power to be unstoppable.

These are exciting and expansive times. This New Year will be offering us the chance to make real change. Consider the ways in which your life and its mysteries are calling you forward, offering you new areas to mine for growth and evolution. 

Have a listen to the ‘Pay Attention‘ MP3, take some jottings, leave a comment and email me your birth month and day (format example: 2/15) if you would value an additional 3 page PDF download of your personal 2020 energy.

SPECIAL: During the month of January, I’m offering a special ‘Creative Energy Tune-Up^’ check here for more information and to order yours now!

I send all the best!

Enjoy the ‘art of the start’ and the new view as we learn to ‘think again’.
