Dear Vision Builder,
No one just ARRIVES.
We have to go on THE JOURNEY.
So if your life isn’t all rainbows and unicorns right now, don’t worry too much about it. Just celebrate how far you’ve come and keep moving in the direction of your highest vision for yourself, with your head held high!
Life is a journey and you can’t avoid that part! So enjoy the view from wherever you are now, but also keep climbing that trail if you want the view from the top.
Because the truth? When you get there, you’ll just start looking for a new mountain to climb, so you might as well enjoy this one.
The journey is your LIFE; the destination you choose to head for just makes your life more interesting.
I’m grateful for all the years I struggled to get to this point on my journey.
My personal rocky and zig-zagging trail has passed through:
- numerous failed relationships + marriage & divorce, before landing at the conscious relationship I now share with a man I’m still crazy about after 4 years
- travels through almost 30 countries, looking for my Self and the answers to life’s BIG questions
- (I even wrote a book about THAT; mixed in there was 8 years of healing from a severe autoimmune disorder)
- there were roles that came with status (senior magazine editor, director of a children’s charity, college teacher, corporate facilitator)
- and as with most journeys, there was a few years of drifting at sea (Should I start a chocolate shop? Become a pastry chef? Become a farmer? Volunteer for the rest of my life?)
- to finally getting up the courage to come out of the closet as a medium and intuitive for trailblazers…working with clients from around the world and getting featured on podcasts like this one…(have a listen if you want to learn the difference between your True and False Self).
And, for the record…stepping out of the closet as a medium and intuitive was HARD. In large part because many of my old colleagues and childhood friends consider this sort of thing “woo woo” because it doesn’t fit their world paradigm.
The hardest part of your journey is that people will try to make you remain who you were, and you have to LET THEM GO.
Don’t let anyone tell you it’s EASY. But if you keep holding that intention to live a life that’s aligned with who you are, where you wake up feeling good about your life every day, it is WORTH every. single. day. you struggled to get there. You can trust me on this one. ;)
That said, there are lots of tools I use that make it easier. Here’s one of the easiest and most powerful…and you don’t have to sign up for anything to use it.
BUT it’s only for the truly committed, because it’s a sacred VOW you make to your SELF.
Frankly, I created it for myself, integrating all the things I’ve learned over the past 20 years that hold us all back. If you’ve invested a few years into your own inner work, read it carefully and you’ll see what I mean…wink wink, nudge, nudge….
If it were a painting, I’d say it’s my Mona Lisa. (And if that feels like arrogance, be aware that it’s taken me a long time to learn how to openly admit that I feel pride and joy in my creations. We all have that block, and we need to kick it to the curb.)
So GO. Take the Trailblazer’s Vow NOW…break through your “upper limits” and rise up and shine as your True Self.
Yours with love and chocolate croissants and espresso (I just got back from my fave Italian Cafe down the block from our condo…it is Saturday after all!)

P.S. My client emailed last week to tell me she broke into tears of joy while reading the Trailblazer’s Vow out loud.
