Lately, as I navigate my upcoming move, my perspective has been evolving in a really deep way. ​I’ve always loved saying everyday is the best day ever (conditioning that oddly works). But I am evolving past that now, I'm starting to live every single day like it’s the last time I ever get to do what I'm doing. I find myself literally just staring at basic human things. ​When you look at your life through the lens of "what if this is the last time I see this?", it completely forces you to slow down, drop the resistance, and fully appreciate the present moment before it shifts. It adds so much depth to everyday life. ​Life is beautiful!

Be a co-creator of something good and unseen yet; be God's best friend. He is giving you signs and directions every time your heart is on fire! Nothing is impossible with God. Luke 1:37

And honestly, if this topic triggers you… good. That usually means your mind is opening to new ideas, new levels, and a completely different way of living. This triggered me deeply in the beginning too. I used to believe struggle was normal. That exhaustion meant I was working hard enough. That wanting more made me selfish or unrealistic. But the more I expanded beyond my comfort zone, questioned old programming, and reconnected with myself… everything started changing. And now? This is my truth. I no longer resonate with fear, limitation, or survival mode. All I feel now is love. Trust. Expansion. Overflow. And this is not about organized religion. Call it God, source, creator, divine intelligence, universe, higher self, whatever resonates with you. But at some point, you realize there is something bigger than your current fears and limitations. And sometimes the biggest breakthrough happens when you finally get out of your own way. The desires in your heart are not random. The vision you have for your life is not random. The longing for more freedom, abundance, joy, and overflow was planted inside of you for a reason. You were not put on this earth just to survive. You were meant to expand. You were meant to receive. You were meant to fully live. Money is not separate from spirituality. And in the hands of a good person, money creates more freedom, more impact, more love, and more opportunities. A lot of us were programmed to believe struggle equals worthiness. That you have to overwork, burn out, and constantly prove yourself to deserve more. I don’t believe that anymore. Now I understand that rest is productive. Joy is productive. Being fully present is productive. Following your gifts, your excitement, your ideas, your natural talents, that creates value. That creates impact. And when you create from alignment instead of fear, life starts responding differently to you. More opportunities show up. More money flows in. More love flows in. More support flows in.

Well... not quite... it's more like I didn't have the words to describe something I now have a more precise sense of terminology for. I have announced myself a good bit as a transformational coach...and in some cases, I would considerably be so...but that's not so much the profession I probably tell others that I am. A more appropriate term that I would like to consider myself would be that of a "holistic internal street guide"...even though what it is I do looks a lot like possibly a coaching session. Some would dare say that I am a "directional coach"...(and even though that sounds more professionally pressured if anything) But if I am going to perfectly honest with my clientele at any point, I'm just as much a fuqed up mess as the next soul who is humanely trying to make it in this world of wonderous complexity. My streets are just as much polluted as maybe yours...but my streets are also beautiful...if not just as beautiful as yours. One recurring theme I do tend to talk about much is perfectionism.... ...and how I'm absolutely far from perfect. But I will tell you that I am a perfect mess...and I'm okay with that even though I know not everybody else will be... but...like Street Therapy...I'm not for everybody. I want to close this out by stating how transparent I'm being with my internal transitions and personal transformations. There's a great deal of many spiritual aspects about myself that I am still exploring and one of the craziest things I am currently exploring right now is how vast this world really is for a soul like myself who found the comfort in small. I still do find a comfort in small, but I also am aware of the discomfort of growth. Growing pains happen more than just in physical and physiological ways...they can also happen in various ways spiritually and, dare I say, metaphysical ways. Collectively, I think we're still exploring this as well as ways to put words to it, but various growing pains of this caliber are also happening within each of us individually as well...and I feel our truest power is being transparent about it whenever it happens, more so with ourselves than with others.

We are so often asked to fold our grief into smaller, quieter boxes just to keep the room comfortable. Society treats our tears as a disruption, rather than a necessary and deeply natural release. But the Dhamma teaches us the profound value of true spiritual friendship, known as Kalyana-mittata. A genuine friend does not ask you to mask your heavy heart or rush your healing process. Instead, they offer the fierce, quiet courage to sit with you in the fire. They simply bear witness to your truth without trying to fix or silence you. Crying is never a failure of your mindfulness or a sign of weakness. It is a brave, honest acknowledgment of the immense weight you have been carrying for far too long. You never have to apologize for the space your authentic emotions require. Surround yourself with those who offer a safe harbor for your storms, and fiercely protect your right to feel them. Who in your life holds this kind of brave, supportive space for you.
