I decided to get a little more sassy today! I’ve been talking to a lot of people about personal style and sense of self. This morning during active meditation I was reminded how excited I am to be me and how sometimes I forget what I’m all about.

I would love to hear what fun things you do? Bop over to FB and show me what you got!

I took 10 minutes turned up the music and let all kinds of fun things flow. I was so happy and excited to be me. EEEEP! here was what came out……….

Singing your song, finding your voice, stepping into your power, tuning into your truth, inspired action, magical moments, crystal clear intuition, giddy moments, dance party of 1, uncontrollable urges to skip, hugging everyone, eating cupcakes for lunch, buying fabulous dresses, making out on a bridge in Paris, eating Pizza on a NYC rooftop, Dancing at soul club in London, Seeing a Punk show in Barcelona, walking past Jarvis Cocker on Portobello Road, Adam Sandler saying something silly in my ear, flying first class, singing on stage of a sold out show at the Whiskey in LA, hugging Amma, seeing live jazz in Paris, seeing an Alexander Calder exhibit at the Whitney, seeing a play on broadway alone, taking a class at Vidal Sassoon London, butterflies chasing my car, sipping wine in Napa, living in San Francisco, finding a Blossom Dearie record, cutting hair on stage, taking an improv class at Second City, loft parties in LA, canoe rides on a lake, Margaritas and laughs, Dj-ing parties, doing energy work, working with Gabrielle Bernstein, dinner parties with friends, snuggling, singing jazz, sleeping in, meditation and music……….always. Life is my song and I sing from my soul

Try it, find a song turn up the volume and remind yourself how SASSY you are.

A question people often ask me is “How do I tap into my creativity?”

What I often tell people is by freeing myself from daily stressors I make room for creative downloads to come in. One simple step to become more connected to your creative flow is actually finding your daily flow. If you find yourself waking up and jumping out of bed to get ready for work, feed the kids, read emails blah blah blah. You immediately activate your brain and speed things up.

I know what you are thinking…………..I don’t have time for anything else, my schedule is too busy, I’m not creative anyway. I get it. Your brain is telling you right now to rationalize everything so you stay EXACTLY where you are.

So what’s one step you can do to start calming the brain and create small spaces for creative downloads? Ok, thats what i’m talking about, lets go.

For the next 4 days, I want you to wake up 5 min earlier. Before you get out of bed think of one feeling you want more of during your day. Close your eyes and feel that emotion let it become part of your vibration. Next stand up and take 3 DEEP breaths into your belly and release any stale energy. Yup, thats it, Try it for 30 days and sees what happens.

Do you have someone who would benefit from this tool? Send it their way, share it on Facebook, be the giver of super rad energy and information. Mwah!

Shake your butt!

Yes, turn on your jams and move that booty.

If  life isn’t “moving” fast enough…………… you are thinking waaaaaay too much about what isn’t here.

Did you know worry is a prayer for chaos? When you pay attention to what’s not perfect, or taking too long to get here, you tell the universe to pause………….HOLD UP Universe! Stop all my dreams from coming my way while I get clear enough to let go and be in the flow.

Happiness is an emotion we attach to words and outside experiences. If happiness is something we always have access to through feelings? Why not get happy first?

Getting out of our head and out of our way, lets the universe effortlessly carry us to our desire. The world is in flow, moving, shifting and expanding based on our desires. If we keep stopping that flow, we say yes to what we don’t want, and NO to what we do want. Say yes to your future wealth and abundance by saying yes (gratitude and appreciation) to what you already co-created.

The easiest way to do that is putting on some music and have a-bun-DANCE! Sing, jump, mosh, pogo, tango…….whatever. Just have fun!

You know what you want, allow it.

“Don’t change your material, change your audience” ~ Lisa Sasevich

Have you ever been in a situation where you are speaking from your heart, in the flow of what it is to be you? This is such a wonderful feeling! There is nothing better than a high-five from others when you are in the flow.

Have you ever been met with an audience full of crickets………………………..? Yeah, no fun.

I have found that speaking my truth is not always met with applause, or a two thumbs up even. This is OK, it has nothing to do with me.

We are here to be connected to our truth, sing our song, and dance to the beat of  a different drum. We all have our own message that inspires us and keeps us moving towards our deepest desires. That is our role in this world, it helps everything and everyone when we are in alignment with our truth. We can say the same thing to different people and get entirely different reactions every time. The key word is REACTION, people who meet you with a negative or underwhelmed response are smack dab in the middle of their reactions. This is perfect, we all have choice and preference, we can decide what we want to surround ourself with. We get to move on move forward until we’ve created an audience that gives us a standing ovation. We are meant to be full of love and joy, giving and spreading it liberally.

The more we high-five, the more we thrive.

Life has a funny way of sending you all the wrong messages. With smart phones, internet, and all of those lovely push notifications distracting us at any given moment. We are tuning into a frequency managed by everyone but ourselves.

Processing this information is constant, and confusing, to be honest. Our lifestyle has hooked us up to a frequency that keeps us from looking inward. How crazy is that? We are so connected to everything and everyone but ourselves!

I challenge you to disconnect from the frequency that serves as a distraction from your deepest desires. It’s time to launch the arrow of desire, creating momentum in the area you are wanting to bring more joy and fulfillment.

When we take the time to become still and connected to our own frequency big things happen. We are capable of so much more than we can possibly imagine….. we just need to tune into the frequency that serves us, our spirit, and our destiny.

Home-play:

Every time you feel the need to distract yourself with internet, social media, or any other time suck, pause……….take a moment to check in. Why are you distracting yourself? What else can you do with that time? make a list of 3 things that you will do instead. Give it a try?  I plan on daydreaming, asking the person next to me how they are doing, or going for a stroll. let me know how it goes? Remember, there is a way to consciously connect……….I look forward to consciously connecting with you on FB!

I often overhear people complaining about meditation. Like meditation is this special thing only for yogi’s or deeply spiritual people, say what?

I sat today and meditated for 15 minutes. The first few minutes I went through all of my tools and pulled colors in all the directions I needed to. Then it began…………my thoughts.  I used to meditate an hour a day, it would fly by. I would skip out of my room ready to kill it out there. Why, now, is it so hard to sit for 10-15 minutes with myself?

Getting back to that practice has been hard, mostly because of fear. I have been afraid to shift. I used to sit and think of my ideal life, my ideal partner, and my ideal work environment. All of those things have showed up, and I’m currently living with the gifts I’ve received by sitting quietly and visualizing.

I guess it seemed selfish to keep visualizing an even more ideal life. Maybe I would lose all these wonderful things I have called into my experience? These are all concerns, I let go of in 15 minutes of listening and noticing. 15 MINUTES!!!!!! Holy hell, I was seriously holding on to those subtle beliefs for the past few years. I decided to set my alarm for 30 more minutes. I went through more visualization techniques and sat with myself and explored my desires. I missed hanging with me……..just like any relationship, I let myself get too busy doing whatever, and stopped setting time aside for meditation. These are ME dates, time to hang out and see whats going on with Marci.

Think of it this way, If you want your life to be different, or you want to find true love etc,etc. Make sure you sit with yourself. If you can’t stand being alone with you for 10 minutes, maybe it’s time to start listening, without judgement? Be the observer, make friends with you. let go of what meditation has to be……..its just a ME date.

It came to my attention, after a very strange emotional outburst of epic proportions, that I am not currently fulfilled by just doing hair.

I have always been an educator, using my knowledge to help other hairdressers grow and develop. I went through Life Coaching certification to help spread the magic life has for us. Man, was I on fire!!!!!!! I mean, I was 31 and had it all figured out. I get to spend the rest of my life sprinkling fairy dust.

Then, the day I signed on my first client, 2 1/2 years ago, a car pulled out in front of me and I had no choice but to hit them. I was surprised. Then, exactly a month later, the same date as the first one, the 21st, a car hits me. WHAT???????

After that…….. everything crumbled. Well, at least thats what it felt like. I was left without much to give. I focused on working behind the chair because thats what paid the bills and had to step away from coaching, teaching and healing. I was in so much pain, I didn’t have any room or any energy to help others. I mean, I was the victim here, so I was the one who needed all the attention! Oh man, did I get stuck in that really horrible place………for two years. I stopped showing up, I started to hide, I almost completely went into hiding actually. Lucky for me I can’t, its almost impossible to do that when you’re a hairdresser. I spent a lot of time feeling sad for myself and tons of time being angry and confused. I would be cutting someones hair and feel pain and start to become angry. I’m in so much pain and this person is worried about cutting more than an inch?  I went to therapy and worked through so much of the emotional trauma, I almost felt whole again………….almost. After about 6 months of feeling good and settling my case with the insurance company, something happened. I became restless, I finally had something to give and it was all bottled up ready to explode.

So, here I am………..back from the depths of fear, anger, sadness, self loathing, extreme isolation and everything yucky. I found my center, I returned to my body. I had to sit in my body………..give her a hug, tell her she is so brave and so strong. I had to rub her back and tell her how beautiful she is and how proud of her I am.

We have everything we need, we are all full of gifts, magic and sparkly things. I am ready to help others find all the sparkly things and the love they have inside, ready to flow.
