Love, Sex and a Polka Dot Snuggie

If you regularly read my posts, then you know that 2015 is the year of Miracles.

You know that I have declared “miracle” as my word of the year and you may have heard that we are going to be opening the doors to the much anticipated 6 Month Miracle Project with partners from all over the world! But here’s a little truth about me.

I have no patience.

I hate waiting, especially when what I am waiting for is awesome and magical and fuels my soul. So because the doors aren’t opening for another month or so, I wanted to share:

The top 10 things I’ve learned about creating miracles

1. You don’t need anyone else to be on board. It may LOOK like they need to be a part of it, but don’t be fooled. All you need is yourself.

2. Miracles don’t just happen, they are intentionally created.

3. Love makes more miracles then resentment. There is always SOMETHING you can find to love, be it the other person’s inner child or your own capacity for forgiveness.

1. My polka dot snuggie, fettuccine, sex, movie nights and extra long showers are every bit a part of my happiness tapestry as acceptance, validation and deep love. It all feels good. It all matters. And you deserve it.

2. Most of the things that scared the hell out of me ended up being the things that changed my life and opened me up to my deeper purpose. What scares you the most is likely linked to what’s actually your destiny.

3. All of the reasons I said I couldn’t change were the very reasons I had to. All of the reasons you say you can’t are the very reasons you MUST.

4. The more authentic I became, the faster fear and doubt vanished. “She would have thought a woman would have died of shame. Instead of which, the shame died.” – D.H.Lawrence, Lady Chatterley’s Lover. It turns out the real me is beautiful and deep and inspiring. So is the real you.

5. Miracles ask for your commitment to self knowledge and require your attention to values. They honor courage and they give to action. Miracles will always meet you in the middle. But you’ve got to do your part.

9. What you lack is what you haven’t fought for. Most of the time, what we feel we are “owed” is actually what we are being called to give to ourselves. (Click to tweet this!)

1. Miracles are addicting. Once you create one, you can’t help but create more. Before you know it, Miracle Work is your favorite hobby, life is magical and love is your default setting.

Those are just a few of the many many lessons I learned on my journey. “Journey” doesn’t feel big enough. “Pilgrimage to the center of my soul?” That’s better. =)
