Retreat

Hello Everyone!

I was gone for a week at Dreaming Mountain Retreat in Johnson, Vermont teaching about the healing art of Lomilomi.

Re-treat is a wonderful thing to do for yourself! It gives you time to observe life differently, dis connect from computers, TV and daily drama.

You get time to explore nature, listen to the birds, watch rainbows, hear the rain on the roof, watch shooting stars and breathe fresh air.

We had an amazing time with a fabulous group of women. There was a lovely sauna we got to use to start our day and a nearby swimming pond.



I always enjoy supporting individuals on their healing journey. As the days progress we might retreat further into our self or we might decide to jump out of our box and explore life differently. Everyone has their own unique experience!

I also enjoy hearing from individuals once they return home. It is so wonderful to see how they take their new found peace and skills into their daily life.

Have you gone on a retreat? What was your experience? Did you find a new way to enhance your life and eliminate drama and chaos?



If you don't have time to go somewhere for a retreat, take time to do short walks at a park in your area. Stop to sit and meditate or pray anywhere. Breath deeper.  Clear your mind. Journal your hearts desire. Manifest your dreams!


Blessings to you and I will continue to blog next week!
Thank you for tuning in and now I'm tuning out!

I Let Go

Worthiness

Are there times you doubt your worthiness to have or to receive?  Were you raised it is better to give than receive? Maybe someone made you feel less than, when you expressed your opinion or truth. Was there a person who tried to sway your feelings or thoughts to believe the way they do? Were you laughed at or treated unfairly because of your belief?  Is there fear of acceptance? There could be a million reasons why you don't feel worthy of something or someone in your life.

Let's take money!



Are you worthy of receiving money for what you provide as a service? Yes you are!
 Do you willing accept it with gratitude? Are you open to receiving more? What is your relationship with money? Do you give money to others easier than accepting money? Do you have struggles with bringing more money in your life? Where did you obtain your belief system about money?

Everything is about relationship and the value we put on it

Do you value yourself?
Do you value your gifts?
Do you utilize your gifts to provide a means to support yourself fruitfully?
Are you willing to see money as an exchange of energy for services provided?
Are you praying for abundance and prosperity? Is there anything holding you back from receiving it?

Now, let's look at relationships?
It's all about relationship!

Today, I met a woman in the Unity Church. She was definitely in her mid to late 60's. She was questioning whether or not she could let go of an unhealthy relationship with a friend. A book she was reading told her it was ok to do this. 

She also shared that she didn't feel loved.  She felt no one loved her.



We chatted for a few moments about how she really felt about herself in relationship? She was surprised to hear that I posed this question. She shared she never thought about that before. 

If we don't love ourself how can we expect others to love us? I suggested that perhaps there are many that love her but she is not seeing that or aware of it? She found it hard to believe anyone loved her. Soon she was realizing that self love is the most important love.  

I shared the story of cutting the AKA cords that bind us to people, feelings or situations that may no longer serve us. I explained how in hawaii I learned about this and it is ok to release and let it go. (I have learned this similar process in many indigenous cultures I have studied).

I let her know she could send forgiveness and have compassion and give thanks for the lesson. No one ever told her she could do that. She felt relieved to know it was ok to release this hurtful person from her life and send love for their healing.

If we can make it to our 60's and no one has told us we can have love or have money or anything we aspire to having in our life, how can we possibly manifest it? If those lessons were not part of our upbringing there is no comprehension of the possibilities of all that we can attract or release. We never knew the value. We never knew we were worthy and therefore it does not exist in the realm of possibilities until we are provided the lesson.

How do we create healthy relationships without an example?
Why do you attract relationships that don't work easily?
Do you value your relationship with your Creator?
Do you value your relationship with yourself?

Our mind has the power and ability to create how we experience our reality!
It is the one gift we have been given that can shift consciousness and how we feel.

Start now and feel worthy of the life you were given on this planet.
Acknowledge and accept the value of your life.
Open to receive the love, gifts and prosperity you desire.
Give gratitude for everything.
Give to another and more will come to you.

Repeat after me ~ All my desires are manifesting for me right now. ~
 Law of Attraction


We are all worthy!
Everything is already here!

How could anyone ever tell you

Trusting Yourself

Have you ever wondered if you were following the right path?
Do you feel a calling but sometimes doubt that it is real or true?
Does confusion enter your mind which might make you feel a bit crazy?
Are people telling you that you are nuts for doing what you are doing?

Did you know many great leaders, inventors and accomplished individuals felt this way? Many were told they were nuts! Einstein was told he was crazy. I was told that too :)

Parents and teachers attempt to guide us in a direction that they think and feel will provide us with the security we might need on this planet. They mean well.  However, you may feel a calling from nowhere one day.  Perhaps from childhood you just 'knew' what you should be doing. You most likely have done much self healing and attended many workshops etc., to resolve the issue of this doubt and inadequacy you might feel.



Start today "I AM ENOUGH"
Acknowledge the gifts that our creator has given to you! Acknowledge how you will use them and share them! Give thanks and show gratitude.

BELIEVE in yourself. Allow all the previous lessons in life show you that you were sent here to do great things. Free your mind of patterns and beliefs that are no longer serving you and your highest potential. STOP THE DRAMA!

Your mind is a powerful tool. It is also the gift you were given to manifest your dreams.

TRUST that this will happen. TRUST that all that you have been shown and given are  gifts and you have the choice to bring more gifts into your life. Think Positive! Feel Love!

You can't trust yourself, you say? Is it really yourself you don't trust? Examine the truth of this feeling or way of thinking. Where does it come from?


  • Did someone doubt you and put you down?
  • Did someone tell you that there is only one way
  • Was there a controlling figure in your life constantly telling you NO
  • Ask yourself "Is this true?" 
These feelings of inadequacy can come from a simple event at childhood when the clothes you put on did not match and you were scolded or told you looked ridiculous or ugly.



It is time to believe in yourself!



  1. What qualities do you love about yourself?
  2. What are you gifts?
  3. What have you accomplished in life that makes you feel good?
  4. Each day focus on something you LOVE about yourself!
  5. Give thanks for all the gifts you have and all the gifts to come!
  6. Release that which does not serve you. LET IT GO!
  7. Trust that all is divinely being shown to you
  8. Trust that you will be in the right place at the right time
  9. Trust that you have everything within your power to create your reality
  10. Trust that YOU ARE ENOUGH!




Live the life you were born to create! ~ Gloria

Devotion to yourself

Devotion has been described as the love, loyalty, or enthusiasm for a person, activity, or cause.
Are you devoted? How devoted are you to yourself? Your Life Path? Your Hearts Desire?



  • Do you tend to devote to others before yourself? 
  • Why do you think you do that?
  •  Do you struggle with what to do next around manifesting what you desire? 
  • Are you living in a state of "just enough?"
  •  Are you  worthy of devoting time, enthusiasm and love to yourself? Well, sure you are! 


Live a  life of love and you will love the life you live!









~You, Yourself, as much as anyone else in the entire universe deserve your love and affection~ Buddha




May your day be filled with magnificence and joy! Devote some time to yourself today and everyday! 

Live in joy, Gloria

There is only now

"Everyone procrastinates sometimes, but 20 percent of people chronically avoid difficult tasks and deliberately look for distractions—which, unfortunately, are increasingly available. Procrastination in large part reflects our perennial struggle with self-control as well as our inability to accurately predict how we'll feel tomorrow, or the next day.

Procrastinators may say they perform better under pressure, but more often than not that's their way of justifying putting things off.
The bright side? It's possible to overcome procrastination—with effort". ~ Psychology Today


Many of us have most likely had moments when we don't feel like we want to spend time focusing on something that needs to be done in order to bring it to fruition. It could be as simple as doing our laundry and saying "oh i'll do it tomorrow". Then you wake up and realize the shirt you wanted to wear is dirty and you are rushing around to wash it and iron it. 
You created unnecessary stress in your day .

Others procrastinate and put off until the very last minute to accomplish big tasks. Were you or are you one of those people who wait to finish an assignment for school or work until the night before? "It's ok", you say to yourself, because you always get a good grade or accomplishment the task well.

Are you a procrastinator? Here are some questions to ask yourself from Mindtools.com
  • Do you fill your day with low priority tasks on your To Do List
  • Spending time reading emails several times without responding or deciding what to do with them
  • Sitting down to start a high priority task and almost immediately finding yourself distracted or getting a cup of coffee
  • Leaving an important item on your to do list even though you know it needs to get done
  • Waiting for the right mood or right time to accomplish the important tasks
  • Do you get bored easily? Are you disorganized? 
  • Do you feel overwhelmed by tasks?




Here are some useful indicators that will help you know when you’re procrastinating:
  • Filling your day with low priority tasks from your To Do List.
  • Reading e-mails several times without starting work on them or deciding what you’re going to do with them.
  • Sitting down to start a high-priority task, and almost immediately going off to make a cup of coffee.
  • Leaving an item on your To Do list for a long time, even though you know it's important.
  • Regularly saying "Yes" to unimportant tasks that others ask you to do, and filling your time with these instead of getting on with the important tasks already on your list.
  • Waiting for the “right mood” or the “right time” to tackle the important task at hand.

When all else fails get someone to hold you accountable. A friend or a colleague.
Ask them to check in with you. 
Set your goals.  Can't decide?  Fear of doing something wrong or saying the wrong thing?
Make an action plan. How will you accomplish your tasks? 
Break down the task. Start with achieving smaller parts of it in order to bring it to fruition.
Reward yourself for accomplishing your task.

Change your perspective and see the outcome.
See yourself already in the place of your goal!
Get excited!
You CAN do it!

I will tell you a secret. I have been and sometimes can still be a procrastinator. I have to be mindful and cautious of my actions. I find when I make smaller To Do Lists I can accomplish them easily. I hold myself accountable for my actions. I don't blame others or situations. When larger projects come into my reality to accomplish I might still find myself delaying until the last moment. I know in my mind I should not do this. I find some other 'sparkle" aka thing to do that seems like more fun. Some people say it is A.D.D. 

Recently, I have become part of a group to manifest our dream. I am accountable to them and myself. I must show up. I have homework to do. Ugh homework :(
There is the trigger! I never enjoyed homework. I wanted to play. 
So how can I look at this differently with new eyes? Well, if I manifest my dream I can play more often!

There are always ways for us to find help. ASK for it! Don't be afraid. Once you recognize you have a pattern that is sabotaging your dreams you can then work on it. You can accomplish it. It will become easier. Identifying what you do will change the way you do things!

Now, GO FOR IT!

I'm excited for you! What is your dream? Share it with us! How will you get there?
