Today's SPARK asks us each to take responsibility for satisfying our own soul...bringing Freedom into our relationships, our enjoyment of life, and our purposeful work.

Now let me be the first to say, I have not always done that! I have looked to others to satisfy me. But when I do take responsibility for my own deep satisfaction, oh how everything changes for the better.

This message today is directly inspired by this image (and believe it or not, this does relate to your purposeful work!):

Today's SPARK illuminates the inner work you need to tend to... in order to step into the outer work you were born to do. 

I am briefly touching down into Sparkland between the last two hoorahs of beachy summertime. In the past 24 hours, I have been moved to tears multiple times by the transformation I witness in my inspiring clients.

Over and over, I experience potent growth moments happen in real time. The satisfaction of supporting a turning-point experience in my client's life is...

Today's SPARK brings your relationship with Money center-stage, as a major player in your purposeful work.

As an entrepreneur, Money is your partner in living your purpose and making a positive difference for others. As clear as that fact is, it is all too common to want to keep Money under the table, in the closet, and out of the spotlight.

Working with heart-centered, spiritually-connected people, I often hear them express that their business "isn't about Money." When I dig just a bit...

Today's SPARK emerges from the darkness of the white supremacy rally in Charlottesville.

I have been letting my heart feel and my mind reel in the tragic reality that unfolded this weekend as white supremacists spewed hatred and incited violence that led to death and injury of human beings.

As a white woman I have a responsibility to act rather than be passive, to speak up rather than stay silent. I've been talking through the emotions with friends, reading more about systemic societal isms...

Today's SPARK inspires you to transform challenges into RESILIENCE.

Last week I shared a peak experience of supporting soulful entrepreneurs to make a positive difference with their gifts. If you didn't catch it, here are the "9 Picturesque Potent Truths" I would love every soulful entrepreneur to know. Today I want to continue encouraging those who are pioneering through entrepreneurial terrain, on a mission to make their unique contribution in the world.

This week I've been immersed in...

Today's SPARK comes to you from this week's peak experience--coaching an inspired group of soulful entrepreneurs to create the business they were born to lead. I chronicle our retreat experience here to inspire the entrepreneurial spirit in you. May you move in the direction of your next peak experience. 

Yes, it is undeniably true. I love supporting trailblazers in the form of coaches, therapists, bodyworkers, artists, healers, doulas, mediators, educators, yogis, and other soulful...

Today's SPARK is here to inspire you to value yourself enough to make your dream real.

Take a moment to ask yourself:

* Am I telling myself I'm not good enough to make my dream a reality?

* Am I telling myself it is too indulgent to go after my dream rather than tending to everyone else's needs? 

* Am I afraid of how others might judge me if I go after my dream? 

* Am I spending too much time on things that drain me instead of putting that energy towards the joy of creating my...

Today's SPARK is here to say that sometimes the road less traveled is the only road that will set you free.

I remember emerging from 4 years of graduate training in Counseling & Expressive Arts Therapy back in 2007, only to realize that there was not a single job posting that would let me be fully me. None of the mental health positions listed would offer me the freedom I craved to really show up and offer my natural gifts fully.

So I took the road less traveled, pioneering my own way...

Today's Spark is here to let sparks fly between you and your work! It's here to tap into your sexual energy and reclaim it as a vital force for good in the soul-satisfying work you are meant to do.

Sexual energy, creativity, money, and overall vitality are intimately interconnected. When one of those areas is stagnant or stuck, then all areas are diminished. And this greatly impacts our ability to do our soul-satisfying work.
 
Let's focus in on Sexual Energy for today as that is often not...

Today's SPARK asks you to honestly answer this question:
Are you repressing your greatest work?

Before you answer this question let's take a look at the word 'repress'...

So when we're talking about repressing your 'greatest work,' we're concerned that you are holding back the unique contribution you're meant to make in the world. We're wondering if you're suppressing the work that satisfies your soul. We're questioning if you're bottling up the work you were born to do. We're checking to...
