En Fuego

Recently, in conversation with a friend I hadn't seen in many a moon and inspired by Danielle LaPorte at White Hot Truth, I responded to "how are you?" with my passionate truth, "I am On FIRE!" My life is rockin' and I'm loving it. Solstice energy? Renewed health? Owning Choice? Freedom? Any and all - keep it coming.

Truth is, this season - the beginnings of winter - usually tear me down, pull me into longing for hot summer days and late luxurious nights. Craving warmth, light I enter a depression. This winter only faint echoes, minuscule compared to the fire of transformation rolling me along. Choice in my life enables me to be present to the beauty and magic of this season.

Deeper Truth is I have worked crazy hard this year. I made desperately hard choices (including ending the best relationship I've had), faced long-time fears and walked the desert burning for Truth.

It paid off - as you can see by my accomplishments of the past year:

My sabbatical walking the desert burning for Truth was both work and reward, a catalyst for my growth in the latter part of the year.

I nearly doubled my income in the last 6 months (and tripled it in the last 3 years). Counter-cyclical, baby.

I invested over $10k and hundreds of hours of time in personal growth and development through trainings and workshops in a broad spectrum of topics with amazing teachers who continue to influence me daily.

I advanced a Spiral Dynamics level, trading Green for Turquoise with a dash of Yellow for healthy sense of self and inklings of Coral pushing the evolutionary envelope.

A long, long time dream of a decade or more that seemed impossible in our cultural context is now very real for me.

...and best of all, 100% of the people I mentored this year got amazing results, even beyond what they wanted. Not only am I rocking my world, I am a catalyst to rocking it for others as well.

I am READY for a more fabulous New Year!

Heartbreakingly Beautiful Happy Solstice

On my way to dance the Solstice with Shannon Simonelli I felt my heart breaking. For joy. Heart so full, happy and alive that she needs more space to exist. Breathe, open, expand. From past heartbreaks I know how much space enters lusciously through the jagged cracks. Leonard Cohen says it best, "there's a crack in everything; that's how the light gets in."

Tonight we danced darkness to light, releasing what no longer served us, appreciating the beauty and richness of our lives and inviting L I G H T - that which we desire. In a deeply intuitive moment Shannon invited us to blend our gratitude with our desire. I felt blue lightning crackle through my Being, bringing these together in time/space, weaving threads in the Universe. Fully in the moment I recognized that my gratitude and Big Desire now are one and the same.

F R E E D O M. FREEdom. Freedom. Through my Dancemeditation, Yoga and Diamond Approach practices (etc.) I have found freedom physically, emotionally, mentally, financially, socially, relationally, sexually, recreationally, spiritually, creatively... That's a lot of -lys. Every aspect of my life has been enhanced through this work. I have connected with my power and strength, grown, developed self-awareness, healed, recovered, developed trust, connected and transformed. I know the power of this work, walking the path and facing life - giving her the honor she is worth.

This is my gratitude. And this is my desire.

I want to share this from my Being - wisdom, power, sensuality. Connect to this; we are free. My desire for the world: be Free. Know and feel this in every cell. Finding this in myself, in this collection of molecules in the Universe known as Sandi is a damn good place to start. There's a big huge world and I need other leaders with me. Leaders with vision, courage and clarity to lead with clarity, to clarity for a synergistically powerful, life-affirming world. Sound good?

Do you have the courage to follow me? To Lead with me? and lead us to follow you? Come find me, let's show the world her Power and set us Free.
