Do you know SARK? If you don't yet, you should.
She rocks.
I can remember the moment I found her very first book about 15+ years ago, sitting on the bottom shelf in the very first Barns & Nobles in the Twin Cities, while I was with my college friend Krista. It changed the course of my life. Seriously. So much of my life has been influenced by her books and words and gatherings. She is inspiring to the 80th degree. She is honest, funny, caring, eccentric, loud, divine, and a creative goddess.
SARK is presenting her very first live teleclass series, called Dream Boogie with SARK: Dancing Your Way from DREAming to DOing! I have participated in various programs with her and they are all so wonderful and worthwhile!
DO check it out, you won't regret it! SPRING is a perfect time to spring into something new and fun!!!

quick update
Hey just a quick little update, since a few people expressed concern after my last post.
Life is okay. Really, despite being a caregiver for mom during her cancer, I feel pretty balanced and ... okay. I could totally go into the pain and challenges of what's happening with it all, but there really is no point. We just take one day at a time and go with the flow. Each day is a new day, we just go with how life or her body is feeling, and we know that eventually there will be pure health, vitality, and wholeness again. She recently spent 3 days in the hospital because of superlow white blood count, so there is a hyper-aware state that I'm in to keep her as healthy as possible. I won't get into details of her current state, but she has her last chemo session this Friday (April 2, starting at 9 am until about 3 pm, so ALL prayers and distance healing work is very much appreciated), then we regroup to see how much of the tumor is left and if there are other options to move to afterwards. We are pretty thankful for all the great staff and doctors at Unity and the clinics and everyone offering prayers and healing until we are through all this crap. (Even though its crap, we are all learning a heck of a lot!)
BUT ... despite all this, I am still working behind the scenes on a few new things for Crystalline Light and Whispers of Spirit. I am offering energy healing sessions at Spirit River in Anoka by appointment and have a few products there (more are coming soon), there are a bunch of new classes scheduled, new jewelry is being created, new services are being coming, and I really do feel a new state of being and expansion for Crystalline Light. I just need TIME to get it all together. I am not exhibiting at any local Metro expo's or shows any longer, though there might be one or two small events this fall where I'll be. There are smaller shows I am travelling to all over the midwest, so keep an eye out for me there. If you want to shop in person, just contact me for an appointment to come to my home office.
I so so so appreciate all my friends and facebook fans and supporters, and know that eventually business and life AND my blog will be "back on track" into something new and amazing.
Rock on, my friends!!

the road to fridley ....
The phrase, "the road to Fridley is paved with good intentions" keeps running through my head, as I make a much too often - like daily - trip to Fridley. This weekend its to the hospital to see my mom, who is hospitalized so her white blood count can get boosted up. This chemo business takes a toll on her spleen and body and mind. But Unity has been a good place, even if we know it all too well from years of visiting with my grandpa, my grandma, and now mom.
We had to take her to the ER on Sunday morning at 1:30 due to a rising temp, a sign of infection. So after an hours sleep due to my birthday celebration out with friends, we hightailed it up there, and discover that the ER in Fridley on a Saturday night/Sunday morning is much busier than one would expect. She got boosted up via fluids and antibiotics, but they still admitted her for a few days. She gets a blood transfusion this morning, since her platelets are really low too. First time. She's a trooper, even if she is scared and unsure and alone. But she's at the best place she needs to be, and as soon as I get there this morning I am checking with the lovely Cancer Center about someone doing Reiki or aromatherapy with her (they do have volunteers, but I don't remember if they offer them to patients who are admitted). Unfortunately our trip to Atlanta and Savannah GA for this week is postponed too.
Anyhow, this is my current state of life. And it's okay. I am learning to go with the flow so much more, really appreciating the health I do have, and seeing that each moment really is precious. Surround yourself with those people and things you love. Be grateful! And stay centered in Love.

March Email Newsletter
Crystalline Light Current
March 2010
Yep, time flies.
Luckily the energies of March are feeling a little lighter. Sure, we're still plowing through lots of stuff, but I think I have just come to accept that this "processing" will just be an ongoing thing. There is a feeling of anticipation in the air, like we all know something is coming, but we are not sure what that is just yet. It could be global (more earthquakes or natural disasters) or personal, but either way it is part of the divine plan of moving ourselves into more truth, light, and being HERE now. It is so important to really anchor IN right now ... anchor into the earth, into OURSELVES, into our deepest core of who we are. Get rid of all the external stuff that doesn't have meaning, find those things that give you joy and passion (even if you don't really truly feel it just yet), and learn to go with the current of what feels good in each moment. Life can be hard, as we all know, and struggling and fighting things just makes it all the worse. Going with the flow brings a certain amount of freedom, and once we have cleared through our old emotions and beliefs, there is an unlimited possibility for more life and growth and thriving. Whoo hoo!
But let's get through it first. If you feel a need to learn or gather with others to discuss what's happening or to support each other, let me know.
Just a few updates below. I am grateful to be offering a few new things at my friend Tammy's new shop and community center in Anoka. Come check it out.
Amethyst BioMat & Multi-Dimensional Healings
at Spirit River in Anoka
Saturday, March 13
Amethyst BioMat:
The Amethyst BioMat is a healing mat combining 30 pounds of Amethyst crystals with Far Infrared Heat, used to heal on all levels. Its various heat settings promote detoxification, stress reduction, cell regeneration, muscle and joint relaxation, as well as a deeper spiritual and energetic connection and "bump up" in energy. As an FDA approved medical device, it is assisting clients in many ways and we offer sessions with just the Amethyst BioMat or in addition to energy healing or therapeutic massage.
Multi-Dimensional Healing:
MultiDimensional Sessions are a new form of energy healing, bringing you to a new space of higher vibration and clarity. By simultaneously utilizing energy clearing (physically and etherically), Reiki, sound healing, crystals, as well as multi-dimensional angelic and Source energies, you are supporting your own personal intent for growth and are clearing any discordant energies that are not supportive of your highest good. Through discussion and intuitive guidance, my intent is to align you with higher vibrational energies to maintain health and well-being on all levels. I am simply a vessel to channel universal energies to you, to be a sacred witness to your process, and to support you in divine awareness.
You can do a session with JUST the BioMat OR with Multi-Dimensional Healing.

Next Day
And Today ...
is a better day. I am grateful for friends who offer energywork when really they came to me to get worked on. I am grateful for Aura Cacia Rose Bath Bubbles. I am grateful for friends on "other planes" who check in occasionally to assist etherically or in person. I am really grateful for the quiet but equally grateful that I realized I just need to blast my itunes really loud today. I am grateful for blogs that inspire and uplift me (like this one and this one for the cowgirl). And lordy am I grateful to see the big ol' snowpile in my backyard is slowly diminishing by the hour.
And I am grateful for happy spring flowers.
Even if it makes me miss my friends.

Today
I am grateful for me.
I don't really even know why, because I am seeing all my flaws and imperfections with big eyes lately. But I know all I really have in this world is ME, so I am starting with 'gratefulness', in hopes that it grows deeper to 'loving' myself. It has been a long winding road to loving and accepting myself, even though many other people can do it so willingly and openly.
So why can't I do the same for myself?
I know without a doubt that I came into this world to learn this One Big Thing. It has been with me since I popped out, and most likely for almost every single other lifetime.
Love is the easiest state of being for me to move into, WHEN it involves other people or events or situations or planetary aspects or whatever. But for myself, not as easy.
So this is where I am at today and what is at the top of my consciousness. I accept myself fully. I love myself, in all my glory and flaws. I release the old me that does not exist any longer. I am open to the New Me that has not quite arrived yet.
And when it arrives, I am having One Big Ol' Party!

March energies
I know I plug Lauren Gorgo's blog's here a lot, but they really are SO entirely helpful and insightful and could be written directly from my life. Go read it. She's an ascension rockstar.
The past 5 days have been brutal energetically, thanks to the earthquakes and all it has stirred up. Friday night I did not sleep, was in a very neutral, yet "active" state of being. I didn't understand why until mid-afternoon on Saturday when I heard about the earthquake's and then-impending tsunami's. As we talked about it at the Expo I was exhibiting at, 3 other people immediately said, "I didn't sleep either." By Sunday, after I'd slept 12 hours, I still felt like a wrecking ball had hit me, experiencing dizziness, discomfort all over, fogginess, not be able to see straight. I managed to function enough to get to a haircut appointment that was already scheduled, but once home, slept hard for another 3 hours. Monday it started to level out a little bit and I could function a little easier again.
Lots is shifting, loose ends are being tied up, clarity is opening up, and the rollercoaster effect is "on" (feeling good and balanced and okay, and then not so much shortly thereafter).
But ... life happens. It's okay. It's darn interesting to say the least.
