2013 can be called the year of change.

Does it seem like the life you once knew has been burned to the ground and you’re left with what appears to be nothing? You’ve been on a roller coaster of change, a ride you didn’t sign up for, and one you can’t seem to get off? Or maybe you were the one who initiated a change – and buckled up for a bumpy ride – but it is turning out to be more challenging than you ever anticipated.

It’s all on purpose!

No matter who you are or where you live, we all seem to be experiencing massive changes that are waking us up – often shaking us at our most sensitive points – causing us to go through very difficult and painful transitions.

Everyone around the world is experiencing this, some in bigger ways than others. You may wonder what is going on? Why is this happening? Why can’t I seem to get out of this?!? You’re doing everything you can to keep moving forward but it’s taking everything to take just one step. You’re tired, earnestly searching for answers to make sense of it all and need support. It’s not just you. For many, the area you’re being affected in is the longstanding issue that has been holding you back – one you haven’t been willing or didn’t know how to address. It is also your greatest source for breakthrough.

Health. Family. Finances. Career. Spiritual. Self.

We are all being challenged to step up to our truest selves and then to be a light for others around us. That’s what the transition you’re going through today is all about. As long as we’re stuck not valuing ourselves, not trusting our inspiration, comparing ourselves with one another, worrying about what society will think of us, or paralyzed by fear, how will we fulfill our missions here?

Your pain and transitioning is absolutely necessary. Our hearts must be united with God and each other. We must have the courage to lift up our voices no matter what anyone else thinks. A clear connection with the divine is critical. We’ll need to know how to unfailingly trust our inspiration, and act and speak when prompted to do so.


As Anastasia Montejano told me the other day, “Our pain is on purpose.” It is the caterpillar morphing into the cocoon and emerging as the butterfly. Laura West was telling me the other day that the caterpillar actually MELTS inside the cocoon. It’s not just all warm and cozy in there.

Anastasia and I are putting together a series of Google Hangout discussions on the 2nd and 4th Fridays of each month (Starting August 23rd). We’ve both been through incredibly similar experiences and have learned parallel lessons along the way. We’ll be talking about our journeys, and the things we’ve learned to more gracefully navigate this transitional phase – so you have the courage and grace to walk your journey.

I hope you’ll join us for this Google Hangout on August 23rd at 2pm ET / 1pm CT / noon MT / 11am PT. It will air on my youtube channel.
