This journey started right from the beginning of showing up for Sophia Revolution in early 2025. Nothing was happening as I continued to make my monthly contributions to complete the purchase of my endeavor.  Something, likely my higher self, has been keeping me in the energetics of my next chapter.

I am here to advocate for living life from a place of goodness.

After reaching out to Shannon she reciprocated with a weeklong one on one with me. This is where my purpose was to unfold. As she gave me honest responses to my work. It was then I realized that my investment to attain knowledge from a mentor was what I have been needing. When you try to do the- things on your own, the -things don’t go as to your vision.

I’ve known that I was urning for a new community for some time now. A community that wasn’t looking for me to show up for them as they seemingly required of me.  No wonder I was jumping all over. I was thinking that I needed to perform for everyone else’s visions of how I should be showing up.  Ignoring my own expectations of what I was wanting to create.  I was still in for the Master Muse community after the book title changed from Sophia Revolution to Revolutionary Icons. Included in this program were developmental edits of my written work. This was what I have been longing for, honest insightful reflection of my writing. My submitted chapter reinvented itself. I dug deeper into my soul to share my true feelings. I was masking myself, afraid to show up as my unapologetically messy self.  

I am where I am for a reason!

Trying to figure it all out as release day came and went within five minutes. The book went live on Amazon. For five minutes. Five! Then BAM we broke Amazon. From what I was told, the sales volume coming through hit categories in a way they had never seen before crashed rankings, and triggered technical issues that Amazon is now working through with NO ETA! This is big for our community as we didn’t break some little publisher website. We broke the giant. We broke the Kiva record for hitting best seller – in five minutes. Was this all part and parcel as this was my fifth published chapter. This comes as my story.  The story of my writer’s journey. Our publisher is working to pivot to a new strategy to bring our book back to life. Released once again and ready to be shared with the world.

Over time I have become a strong advocate for the belief that energy is everything.

Along with the sixteen authors in Revolutionary Icons, our feminine energy was too impactful for the masculine energy of the Amazon giant.

So, my written -down voice has become a big voice. My message is that energy is everything and this bright energy is what this present-day world is thirsty for. The masculine has been trying to stifle the feminine. However, she keeps showing up. I believe that this old world needs all the feminine impact that can be presented to it.

Being acknowledged - being seen years ago by Shannon was the leaping point of my new found love for writing.

@Shannon Van Den Burg saw me, at first I thought holy shit! I googled her at first to make sure this was real. Five years later I’m still following Shannon. Now I have been tutored by Shannon to become active and take my business to next level. Learning so mush from her community that I have become part of.

When you invest in yourself don’t think of it as being expensive. Think of it as a lovely way to be extravagant.

Writing is my muse to move along, when I am having heavy emotions, with the life that is currently in front of me. It’s my safe space to express those heavy emotions.

When you are growing your garden of hope taking the bad with the good is all we can do.

How we react or not react is the key to allow us to keep moving along.

Be proud of taking those leaps of faith. Writing your chapters, creating your publication, creating creative designs. You never know who is basking in your light.

Someone once told me that you are running for yourself, not for the acceptance from others. That truth stung. I do know now, finally, that this is the truth. If your light shines too bright for your circle so be it. They can look away or put their sunglasses on.

Revolutionary Icons releases Friday May 29th. More details coming soon.

Writing out your worries and stresses will bring you guidance to keep moving. No one knows you better than you. When you write down your thoughts your higher self will come through and guide you along. You just have to be ready and willing to listen. Be open to the nudges that you will receive. It has taken some mindset clarification but I have just recently opened up to be mentored by a business coach. What a difference a day makes. Loosen your grip on total control… ask for help. I also have had professional help to set up payment options for my online writing support publication. Now that I lessened some control I have new found freedom to return to what I love… writing and being in my creation flow state of mind.

Let me know if you’d like to see a sneak peak of my publication.

My voice is my ministry. My voice comes to life with my writing.

Maybe a key to peace is settling down appreciate what you have where you live your current lifestyle. Take inventory of what you have who’s in your circle is your health good?

We struggle when we are always looking at what isn’t there, how about changing that story and be grateful for what your live is right now.

I give this advice as someone who was struggling with her daily life. Having debt and feeling lost within my circle was a contributor. I may not have thousands in the bank but I’m doing pretty good.

I don’t regret my past lifestyle moves they happened to get me here. I really do feel at peace these days. A simple life that it is. Deep down in my gut I’m not struggling or living in fear of not doing something right with my life. I’m here now my garden awaits me, the beach is in reach once again. This feeling of accomplishment comes as I sit here writing in the morning dog beside me coffee in hand.

You are responsible for the change you seek with your daily life. It’s hard scary and lonely at times that is for sure. There are sad times for me still but then I change my perspective and actually smile and know that life is good.

Maybe it’s when you realize that you have less years ahead of you than you do behind you. Life becomes short and dam it the next ten, twenty years for me will be spent in my new found peace and love for myself.

I just saw this posted from a new content creature that found me. It’s  a brilliant thought. And it’s come at a time in my live right now. Loud and clear!

Nothing wrong with maturing but you don’t have to get old in the meantime.  Here I am at 63 still rocking it! Even though some young ones feel the need to dismiss me. You know what, they to will reach this milestone one day. I really don’t care anymore what they think of me.

You see I’m just over here living my life, a life that I don’t dread a life that I don’t need a vacation from.

A major bliss is that I’m not drowning in debt anymore. I still have a little job that gives me financial freedom to experience events. Money so I heard once is a tool, a tool for experiences and learning new ideas.

Oh shit that hurt !!!! Hello 63!

You should have been here to hear my back crack!!! It was to be a simple task of putting chicken in the oven. Who knew how heavy a 11.1 lb bird in cast iron baking pan would weigh.

I’m quite certain that the sound of the crack made it hurt all the more.

So now I am spending Good Friday with  a heating pad on the couch.

Hoping it will be wine time soon. Chicken is done, it’s resting now.  So am I.

Have a good Easter Weekend everyone.

To achieve ultimate happiness and heaven-on-earth?

Stay mindful, Stay present.

❤️ this "Be the love of your life"  When you realize that no one is coming to save you,  and you are the only one that can achieve your goals.

Stop waiting for the approval of others.

I can still see him as he was walking along a path before he caught up to me.

Yesterday I was walking along and could tell someone was behind me. I moved to get out of their way.  A whirlwind swirl of a moment and we were having a conversation. A get acquainted conversation. It was quit a magical  surreal encounter. After I started to walk back to the vehicle I could feel this fellow looking back at me.

As my intuition was reading the moment, I could tell he was a little taken back by our meeting.  Goes to show, you never know how an unexpected interlude can have an impact. I believe I was a whisper on his shoulder, a chance meeting that was meant to be.

You wonder what your purpose is, maybe it is to align with a complete stranger. To show caring to someone that needed that show of unexpected kindness at that moment in time. Your smile can carry a lot of weight to a complete stranger.  Or were we strangers?

What are your ways of finding the good in everyday?

Would sharing your story of how seeing the good could change someones life be of interest to you?

Imagine what our positive energies could bring to this time in our world?

Make more time to get out and play could be your start to making a change.

When I created Musing About Stories to Live By, my thought was wouldn’t it be great to lead by example on how to live a good life with uplifting content and resourceful and informative stories?” Make it normal to see the ‘good’ in everyday.

Your worth gets ignored

You loose your stride when you are in doubt of who you are.

Someone confronts you when you don’t show up  or respond in the way they expect you to so for their sake.

You get excited about a new venture but you are more excited than the person that started the conversation, now they have backtracked their initial offerings.

Writing is my muse to move along, when I am having heavy emotions, with the life that is currently in front of me. It’s my safe space to express those heavy emotions.

When you are growing your garden of hope taking the bad with the good is all we can do.

How we react or not react is the key to allow us to keep moving along.

Be proud of taking those leaps of faith. Writing your chapters, creating your publication, creating creative designs. You never know who is basking in your light.

Someone once told me that you are running for yourself, not for the acceptance from others. That truth stung. I do know now, finally, that this is the truth. If your light shines too bright for your circle so be it. They can look away or put their sunglasses on.

Let Go Let God

Will not negotiate with myself about why some friends have left me.  The relief is in the air for me now.

Be careful of those that keep you from growing onward. I may not have been the best version of myself in the past, that you keep reminding me of. It would be lovely if you would have good wishes for the person I chose to become. I will not be negotiating with you about this in 2026. Love me or let me go, the same will be true of me to you.

Welcome 2026 I see you and can’t wait to engage in this year.
