“Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary.”

– Cecil Beaton

When I was sixteen, I felt pretty darn normal. I had 3 siblings, went to church every Sunday and sang in the school choir.

Then something amazing happened, I got my license. Everything changed. The new freedom was almost like a license to be more me than I had ever even known. No more asking for a ride and trying to explain why it was so important that I go to this that and the other. I was able to work to earn money to shop at thrift stores on Melrose, buy any new album I wanted at the cool record store, and go see every band that came through LA.

From 16-17 I was on cloud nine. I had it all figured out and life was good. I also had my first core value: Freedom.

Having been raised in a very religious household had it’s blessings. I always considered my actions and remained pretty darn pure through the majority of high school. Honestly, I’m grateful I did not pursue some of the things my friends chose. I remained hopeful and a dreamer because I wasn’t constantly crushed by the consequences of teenage brain. I was treated with respect by my friends and perceived as a spunky gal in old man pants. Nothing like polyester leisure suit pants to keep the boys away.  Second core value: Integrity.

But I didn’t have any clue what came next. I knew I wanted to dress like a girl and feel pretty, so I wore dresses every day. I wanted to sing in a band so I tried out and started gigging every weekend with a fun group of guys. I continued to evolve and meet new people along the way.

It wasn’t until I saw my friends getting accepted into college that I began to panic. What was I going to do? My job at the mall was cool for now, but once I got out of high school it would be lame sauce. My parents modeled two precedents I could hope for, marriage or management. Without money for college, I’d need to hustle, not hope.

My hairstylist at the time asked me what was going on and, of course, I told her everything. She was encouraging and gave me little tidbits of advice. I felt better. I had just found out the fashion school I had dreamt of attending would cost a fortune. She mentioned a program she attended while finishing high school that gave her the skills to become a licensed hairdresser. This was the answer I needed!!! I was able to start the program as a senior by dropping my electives and leaving school early. Third core value: Curiosity.

I went to school until noon, had beauty school until 5pm and still worked at the mall. I was hustling for sure. But looking back, I never let anyone tell me who I was or what I stood for. I respected the people in my life and continued marching to the beat of a different drum. I was a free spirit and didn’t let things trip me up. I have continued to respectfully decline advice from those who wish to have me follow in a way that confirms their agenda. I have remained dedicated to my vision of living the full expression of me. My mission in life is to help others gain the courage, confidence and clarity to live a life curated. Fourth core value: Authenticity.

Whether or not you have your established your own core values or know your life’s mission,  you can at least consider how you want to feel as you start your day. For me, those feelings are free, radiant, curious and authentic. Set your own intentions, forge your own way, view each day as a  brushstroke in one of the many masterpieces housed in your carefully curated gallery of experience.

Live a Life Curated.

I recently found myself swimming in a deep sea of self pity. A huge wave of misery washed over me in the middle of a Zumba class led by my little Sis. Smack dab in the middle of shaking my booty, I had this realization: I didn’t even want to be there. I have my own workout routine. I enjoy doing Zumba, but I was missing my preferred Barre class to be there that evening.

I was there because I wanted to be a good Sister. I wanted my sibling to feel supported and encouraged in her new venture. I drove all the way across town in  rush hour traffic to be there. At the end of class my mother and sister wanted to chat about a family brunch coming up on Sunday. I said very little, as I was still in shock over what I was feeling. As I walked out, I felt shame, guilt, loneliness, you name it.  In my car, I began to cry. Just then, one of my dearest friends called. Of course I tried to keep it cool and conceal that I was upset. After all, I was being so selfish and childish. She new better, that something was up. After a little prying, I let it out. I told her everything I was feeling. It was a lot.

Of course she knew exactly what I was talking about because she, too, has spent many years being a people pleaser. Saying all of the right things and holding space for me, I was able to release this emotional avalanche. We started talking about other things, and I felt my strength return and a wave of peace settled in.

I realized the people I supply and support are the ones who really need it. They require encouragement and comfort from those with extra to give. Meanwhile, I hadn’t given myself an opportunity to receive, giving without contemplating the joy I could provide to those in my support network. Acknowledging that my care and consolation would not always spring from whom I most want to receive it, I was freed from blockage.

A few days later I received a gift from a complete stranger. It was a book that I had been wanting to read but hadn’t purchased. I couldn’t believe the generosity. Sending me a physical book in the mail? WOW, I felt so grateful and full of joy. Letting go of resistance immediately led to gifts flowing out of nowhere. I will continue to give, and know that accepting gratitude from those I support will keep me in the flow of Love.

have you missed a call, or a package while you were busy pleasing others? Have you graciously received lately? Please share by visiting my FB Page. Much Love!

I used to think I had to make everyone feel better. When you live in heart-centered action, you will intuitively sense pain and empathize with the sufferer. This powerful gift can be a magnet of misery. Imagine being on a beautiful nature walk and you come upon a playground and see someone sitting on a merry-go-round. They look sad and lost, so you walk over. The person explains being bummed-out because nobody wants to push them anymore. They are bored, alone and sad. Because you see more than the immediate problem, you point out all of the fun and magical play equipment at their disposal. The un-resourceful player jumps up and runs to the swing, and you leave feeling good. You helped someone. As you finish your stroll and start to head home, you notice the same person on the swing hunched over, crying. You immediately run over to see how you can help. They look up at you as if all hope is lost. With a curious heart, you ask them what on earth is wrong now? They sadly respond, “nobody will push me.” When you see more than what’s presented, you feel the support of Universal life force. This is a gift, and when you spend so much time helping others see the next step, you create a shelf for them. You begin to carry their needs on that shelf and use energy to solve the problem you’ve placed there. This shelf is in your sacred room, where you are meant to receive as much as you give. Imagine all of the shelves in your house where you store other people’s clutter; does it feel overwhelming? Clear off those shelves and box up the stuff and return it, with love, obviously. Too often we become overwhelmed, depleted, anxious when we use our gifts to help others. In some case, we can physically carry extra weight from the energy of other people’s “stuff.” Acting as merely an observer, that another’s suffering is OK, we can witness trouble and understand pain. We don’t need to fix it, worry about it or add it to our sacred space to heal it. Remove unwanted contents of your shelves and leave a few empty to accumulate gifts of love. These ledges are now available for you to place gifts and reminders of your kindness to others. authenticallyME, Marci

 

The Spring Equinox is a fabulous time to renew and refresh. You can do a simple letting go ritual to make room for the light. Take a little time to list some things that are causing you to feel heavy. Get really clear on the why and who. when you get really clear on who needs to be energetically released you feel more shifts. 

Write down what your preferences are for the next season, what do you want to call in? write it out as if  it’s happening now. Get really connected to your deep desires and sit with those emotions. Gold pen is really great for writing out your preferences,

Also try my chakra healing mediation to clear out energy

Chakra Clearing Meditation

I think everyone wonders at some point in their life, why am I here? It comes from this sense of finding a mission and serving the world. The thing is, we are looking for the wrong thing first. We look for the mission to lead us to our life’s purpose. This is a hard path to go down, because you do it alone. When you find your purpose first the mission shows up and this is a little thing we call co-creation (law of attraction)

Lets try it this way, Practice Makes Purpose. If you create a mission to uncover your hidden gifts, wisdom and authentic voice you will be led to the mission that will serve the world in ways you have never imagined. Our purpose in life is to uncover our unique voice, our inner wisdom, our truth. This comes through a daily commitment to your practice of self-care and self-love. When we combine meditation, healing and the art of receiving, we open ourselves to the beauty within. This journey is the most important journey we will ever embark on. This is where we take ourselves out of suffering and become a reservoir of love and energy to those around us, inviting them to do the same. So what can you do today?

OK!

1. List the top 10 things that make your heart sing
2. Journal. Not just any journal, start recording little things that you were willing to receive. little signs and synchronicity
3. Say NO. Yup, you heard me. Say no to someone who is asking more from you than you are comfortable giving.
4. Say YES to you. Now that you said yes to your desires by making room, its time to hit your list and do something for you. A bath, a book, yoga, hike, or tea time?

I can’t wait to see what happens when you set the intention of finding purpose today.

I was talking with my Boyfriend about Valentines Day and realized I just wanted to treat myself. We laughed about the holiday, shrugged our shoulders, and moved on.

The fun thing is I totally started looking for things I wanted to get for myself. I didn’t want him to show me the love, I wanted to show myself. Basically, he will buy oysters and I will buy cupcakes, done.

On Valentines Day I will spend my day behind the chair, helping people look and feel beautiful. I plan on having some flowers to share, and serve chocolate and wine.

I love spreading joy! I make sure I’m full and flow the rest out to the world around me.

I want to share the love with you too. Here is a meditation I made just for you! It’s infused with Reiki and you will feel so connected and balanced after.  Find it HERE

 

Just know I LOVE you.

Ready to eat, sleep, breathe AWESOME!? let’s go!

I have to say, I feel pretty F-ing amazing now that I freed my day from unnecessary emails, FB trolling, and Instagram obsessing.

Every December I un-subscribe from all of the emails I don’t look at regularly and stop hitting up FB and any other social media obsessively.

Why? Well, in 2007 I decided I wanted my life to look different and the first step was choosing to stay in on NYE to clear my head. I took a really honest look at what I truly desired for myself and my future. I thought about all of the years I went out for NYE and woke up feeling a little underwhelmed by my night. By saying no to all of the invites to parties I was choosing to stop my old habit.  I didn’t watch TV or check my phone. I turned everything off and lit candles and just listened to my heart.

Now 8 years later I’ve seen many moments I wrote in my journal dedicated for my NYE intentions happen magically in front of me. I now have the opportunity to share all of the beautiful gifts and findings to my coaching clients. The journey that started in 2007 is why I am starting Soul School in 2015, advanced education on living a life with purpose and passion.

I LOVE living my truth and opening myself to new and expansive experiences. This year is dedicated to serving as many people as I can on the journey within. By clearing my December in preparation for my soul mission, I offer myself more room to receive special messages I’m meant to share with others. I feel lighter and free from the junk that gets clogged in my psyche. I look at it this way, I take in info and my brain has to process it. The more noise I put into my brain the less likely I am to hear my truth. So, I dedicated the whole month of December as a cleanse from information.

This NYE I will be doing readings for 4 clients and myself. I will hold space for them to create their intentions for 2015 and do readings for each area to give extra guidance and support. On NYE I will sit in meditation and do alignment work for each person and hold their intention. I am so stoked to offer this, and hope to have an even larger group next year!

What about you? Are you ready for 2015? What are you ready to release to live your truth?
