The Heart Can Hold It All

I’ve always loved hearts. ❤️


In my room at my mom and dad’s house is a collection of heart shaped boxes that were given to me over the years for my birthday…. February…. A week from Valentines. I had a rainbow heart mobile over my bed as a child. I find myself painting and doodling hearts daily. My logo ended up being a yellow heart with my name.  
The last 4 years…it has been my specific prayer…that I would keep my heart open. I am well aware that I pursue pleasure and avoid pain… I am vicious and unforgivingly sharp when I feel crossed or hurt…or left. (That isn’t easy to let you know).  

My heart has been broken over and over…. Like all of us in all the ways that life dishes out. I have not had some of the heartbreak that life hands us. I dread the loss of my parents, my husband, my siblings…and it has been decided that Leroy Brown can NEVER die.  

Even today, on Facebook, I noticed the tears of love and joy at posts of the rescue puppies that made it through a deadly bout of parvo..and are now well and in their foster homes…..and the extreme joy of that lady laughing at her Chewbaca mask…to 3 Boston terrier dogs on skateboards…. Reminding me of my deep love of Lulu who I lost a while back. I saw the miraculous story of a friends son who survived acute encephalitis and is completely well now…. Heart open and happy tears flowing. And then I saw a post so full of fear and ignorance about LBGTQ education and it broke my heart. I wanted to cry for all the friendships I’ve lost because of my human, religious, and political beliefs. Up and down…. My heart felt the mid range gamut today. And that last post full of fear of people who are different….made me sooooo sad….and so aware that so many people are simply AFRAID.  

I AM often afraid. That post made me afraid and I felt the pain of loss.

So I got off the interwebs and I dove into my Mother Mary Oracle Cards—- and of course…. I got the reminder of one of my new favorite mantras…..

Our Hearts Can Handle It All.   

Yes, at times it feels unbearable…like we will die– from the pain, the grief, the loss, the anger, the hate, the lack of control..the suffering….and even more pain. And yet our hearts can hold it all.  

The Our Lady Of The Inner Gate card reminds us….. These things initiate us into the power of our hearts….and we are led, over and over, back to the lessons our HEART has to teach us.  

This I Know… My heart..in both its great expansion and openness, and its brokenness….has given me the gift of compassion…and so much more. I am learning, that my heart CAN hold it all…and I wanted to remind YOU of the great depth and POWER of YOUR HEART.  

BE not afraid…. YOUR HEART CAN HOLD IT ALL….

Feeling love for humanity…and a heart doodle.

  • It’s time to stop half assing it. That’s the message I received from Spirit at 3:45 am the other night. The season of rest is is over and it’s time to power up. And Spirit gave me, and now you, 3 questions to help us in this power up. I’m sharing these 3 questions on the podcast and invite you to answer them for yourself (the link is in my bio). Really sink into them. And notice what happens. Notice if you judge yourself. Notice how your body feels. And if you feel comfortable with it, share your answers below or on your own account and tag me.
  • Soul-Full Success is more than just biz coaching. In fact, I would say it's leaning towards LIFE coaching these days. Which is really one in the same if we think about it. Think about this with me. Our HUMANNESS is what runs our business. Our innate gifts. Our magical skills. Our power. Our lives need to be in balance and our souls fulfilled to truly run our businesses. So if you've been thinking about joining Soul-Full Success, but think it's just a bunch of business owners, I'm here to share that it's not. Sure we have business owners. But we also have parents and coworkers and healers and just about everything you can think of. Because this is a community for HUMANS. Humans who want to grow. Humans who want to show up. Humans who know they need support and have support to give. If this is you, we'd love to have you join- we don't want you to miss out on one more minute of the party. So start your application in the link in my bio now! Doors close Friday!
  • Read this. #remember.
  • Your breath is your heaven on Earth. It’s a reminder to reset, a space to heal, a place to release, cleanse, and connect. And it’s an anchor within Soul-Full Success. It’s one of our pillars. I always start my sessions with a breath, reminding who I am with to “breathe y’all.” This helps me be in the one-ness of our time together. It reminds me to slow down. It shows me that when we breathe, anything can shift. So today on the podcast I want to share with you what breathe y’all means to some Soulies (I think you will find deep wisdom in what they share) and an “Ode to Breathe Y’all” so to speak. If you’ve been needing a gentle reminder to find your breath or the magic of what your breath can do for you, or just need a quick moment to reset, I encourage you to listen to this episode (the link is in my bio). And then let me know what Breathe Y’all means to you. I'd love to add it to the list!
  • We all need support. Don't try to convince me otherwise on this one. Whether we are looking for direction, trying to hone in on our magical skills, just need someone to brain dump with, or are energized by other wonderful humans- support and connection is where it's at. That's why I created Soul-Full Success y'all. Yes, I have YEARS of coaching experience to offer you. Yes I can hold space for you. Yes we can make magic together. But having a community can do even more than I can for you alone. I freaking love this community and all it brings to me and its members. I want everyone who feels called to it, who resonates with me or my messages, or just needs a group to hold them for awhile to join us. If this is you and you haven't joined yet, message me, let's figure out what's causing you resistance and get you into the group that will seriously show UP for you. If you are feeling ready, then by all means, head to the link in my bio to start your application to join us!
  • Stop 🛑 Shutting your #desires down. You desire is innocent and somewhere along the way the world told you it was wrong. Your desire is the creation of GOD through you. It is IN SPIRITED as your divine calling. And oh how easy it is to shrink. And the ego gets scared. But you are being called to not only ALLOW, but to live into your desires! Release patterns of shrinking and fear. Practice listening deep inside and trusting your own wisdom and heart. We honor Spirit when we allow and pursued our desires. For more- check out Book 1:Lesson 4 in The Way of Mastery.
  • If you journal, you understand what can pour from you as you reflect and write. You understand how deeply personal your journal and your thoughts can be. I am the same, but this week I feel called to share a journal entry with you. I’ve been in a reflective space recently. I just hit my 16 year anniversary of working for myself and have been reflecting on who I’ve been and who I am BEcoming. And I thought I would share this entry on BEcoming with you. Perhaps it will help you reflect on who you are becoming too. So I invite you to listen to the newest podcast episode (the link's in my bio) with an open heart and to answer for yourself after you’ve listened: I am becoming a person who... If you feel open to sharing your answers with us, I invite you to do that as well in the comments, you know I'd love to see who you BE.
  • Last night I walked out of my cookie cutter, suburban home (which I adore some days) into my plain rectangular back yard surrounded by a plain 6 ft fence. Bringing my dogs out to pee one last time before I we all went to bed, the moon and a few bright stars grabbed my attention, lifted my awareness and reminded me that I AM the entire Universe and all of its infinite love and energy. So often I see only the limitations of this house with newly-planted-tiny trees and slammed up next to the home almost like it next door, loving some elements and resenting others..... what a perfect metaphor for life. I decide again today to see the moon and stars and the infinite loving particles and miracles of the infinite and unlimited universe and that it is a wildly magnificent miracle that this house is even here in this field between two small towns and that I am a human being in her body having made it through millions of experiences to be standing in this yard at this time. Holy mind blown. I’ve been half-assing this spiritual journey because my comfortable ways of doing and being were just enough. Fuck it. The riverbed is expanding. Range. Not always easy, in fact parts of my being are dying and it is ugly cry uncomfortable. But I can’t NOT any more. It’s time. No more fucking around. No more muggling. I’m a fucking magician. And you are too. This is the work I want to do. This is the work I DO. 💛
