As I hope you know by now, I contribute to a great non-profit organization called Spirit Jump.  Their mission is to give hope and comfort to the many men, women, and children battling cancer.  They do this by sending cards and inspirational gifts to lift the spirits of those experiencing that difficult time.

I sent many cards and Self Symmetry jewelry to cancer patients in 2009, but this year I want to step it up a bit!  I’m leading a team in the 1st annual Cards 4 Cancer Day, which is April 10, 2010.  What I’ll be doing is gathering cards from now until then.  Then on April 10th, I will be delivering all the cards to Texas Oncololgy – Medical City Dallas.

So, I need your help!  I’m looking for team members.  All you have to do as a team member is gather cards.  These cards don’t have to be anything fancy.  They can be homemade or store bought.  They can be scribbles from a 2 year old, a fun drawing from a 5th grader, or an uplifting message from your coworker.  It doesn’t matter.  I don’t know who will get what card, so it doesn’t have to be addressed to anyone in particular.  The only requirement is that the message be positive!  It would also be great if “Spirit Jump” was somewhere on the card so the recipient will know what organization it came from.  If they find the card helpful and it lifted their spirit then they can log onto Spirit Jump’s website and register to receive more cards and gifts.

If you’re a team member all you have to do is help me gather cards.  You can gather 5 or 500, I don’t care!  You can ask your child’s school or classroom, your coworkers, church, family, friends….basically anyone you can think of.  Would be fun to have a card making party too!  Or, if you don’t necessarily want to be a team member but want to buy or make a card you can do that as well.  Just send me the card and I’ll get it to a person battling cancer.

I don’t have a number for a goal in mind, but let’s just say this…I want to gather a ton of cards.  This is so easy, so thoughtful, and it can mean so much to someone.  Just think how cool it would be to go to a radiation treatment and have a card or two waiting for you.  The thought of knowing that people care about you and are praying for you right before you have a procedure or right after you get some news about your disease.   It really can make the difference in someone’s day.

Let’s show those battling cancer how much we love and care for them.

If you’d like to be a team member, let me know!  Leave a comment, email me, let me know on FB, tweet me…just let me know!  If you just want to send a card that would be awesome too.  Again, just let me know.  I’ll get you my address.

I’m looking forward to gathering cards and doing some good.  Thank you SO much!

Have you ever felt like you’ve been WILLING your way forward in your business, or your life? Like you’ve been pushing a boulder up hill thinking that if you just push harder, just “did” more, just handled one more thing that suddenly the boulder would move?

If you’re nodding your head up and down right now, you’re not alone. I have spent years of my career “working hard”, sacrificing myself, thinking I had to keep “doing” more… worrying if I was moving fast enough, or falling behind. I was trying to move forward with ease and grace while simultaneously having both of my hands firmly placed on a boulder that I thought I had to push up hill.

Pushing a boulder up hill doesn’t work. In the short run, you might feel like you’re making progress because you moved an inch… but why would you keep pushing for an inch and thinking that was some great progress? You deserve much more than that!

It’s time to surrender the boulder, to completely and totally let it go… so you can breathe, relax, open, trust and allow the flow of grace to guide you. So, perhaps you’re asking yourself how you can let go of the boulder without getting crushed?

The answer is simple, but not necessarily easy. First, you must get clear on what the boulder really is that you’re truly pushing up the hill. Often times what you THINK you’re working on isn’t REALLY what you’re working on at a deeper level.

For instance, the entrepreneur who thinks the boulder is about a particular project they’re wanting to launch, may discover if they look deep enough that the boulder isn’t about the project, rather it’s about them thinking they “have to do more” in order to feel worthy.

Or, the entrepreneur who works to model other successful businesses they see out there, may discover that the boulder they’re pushing is really that they don’t feel like who they are is enough, so they try to mold themselves around what other people are doing.

This approach to business can never work. Many entrepreneurs I talk to feel like there is some boulder they are trying to push uphill… but sadly there’s not a lot of help being offered to help them look at what the boulder really is. Rather, much of the help they get is trying to help them move the boulder in a new or different way. But, hello! The boulder is still there… and just because it can move another inch because of some new technique or strategy doesn’t mean the boulder is gone.

What I encourage you to do is to look at the boulders in your business. Where are you working hard and not getting the results you want? What do you keep trying to do that just isn’t coming to fruition? What things keep happening in your business (or your life) over and over again that you do not like? These are all boulders.

Allow yourself to surrender your hold on the boulder and begin to ask yourself what the boulder is really about… and not at a surface level, but deep inside of yourself. What are you really trying to do? Prove yourself, gain attention, feel like enough, feel worthy/deserving, keep up with the “Jones’.” What is it that you are really trying to do when you push against that boulder? This is the only question that matters, and if what you’re doing isn’t serving you at the highest level, then surrender the boulder, and allow yourself to see everything that’s underneath it.

Taking this courageous step will help you discover what you need to learn about yourself so you can free yourself from ever feeling the need to push a boulder uphill again.

This is what I’ve been doing, and continue to do in my own business. And, I can tell you from experience that surrendering the boulders and going deep within myself to see what the boulders are really about has been the most freeing thing I’ve ever done for my business, and more importantly… my SELF! I encourage you to do the same!

Isn’t it true that when life is good, it’s very, very GOOD?

But, when things go down hill, it gets kind of nasty. 

Sometimes it feels that life is cruising right along and BAM! Something jumps out of the bushes and stops your flow and prosperity.

Have you ever been on a ride at an amusement park that made you feel sick? Have you wanted to scream "Stop and let me off!"?

Who do you scream at in life, when you find yourself on a ride that takes you nowhere near prosperity, flow or fun?

The correct answer would be: Nobody.

You are the only one who can choose to get on or off your ride. However, whether you find yourself going up and down on the prosperity scale or going steadily down we have something that totally puts YOU in the operators seat. 

You’ll be the guy or gal with the power to turn it on or off or go fast or slow.

Greetings!

I wanted to share some of my experiences over the last few weeks here, because they have been quite magical.

We held a workshop here in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. The workshop included a day trip to Teotihuacan and a New Moon ceremony with a shaman. The workshop went extremely well, undoubtedly the best ever. Everyone had a great process, truly worked in the world of energy and saw the energetic probability, or possibility, before them that they wanted to attract or manifest in their lives. Everything was magical, from the space that the men opened in the room we held the workshop in to the trip to Teotihuacan. It was fantastic! I was also very pleasantly surprised at all the secrets and information that Teotihuacan opened to us. As you can see in the photo above, we really were under a magical spell.

The journey was followed by a women’s gathering for the next 3 days, which was a very pleasant treat for us ladies. It gave us the opportunity to then focus on topics personal to ourselves and it also gave us the time to work on our the dream and probability we are focusing on even more.

The above pictures are from an experience we had at the Botanical Garden. I had the ladies get themselves some candy and a container to bless and to imbue with the energy of their dream, so that they may taste and eat from the sweetness of their desires every day, connecting them to their dreams. This was followed by a healing process. We opened to the energy of our Source and of the garden to allow healing love and light to come into our bodies, which I facilitated.

We then took the healing one step further the next day: each woman received a Shamanic Egg Cleansing and some healing work. Everyone commented on how nice it was to feel their bodies open, expand and receive healing to any aligments.

All in all, both the Journey and the Women’s Gathering were fulfilling to everyone. We all felt our hearts being opened by Teotihuacan and we all felt the energy coming in to us.

Every participant was a wonderful addition to our group and each person really has their own essence, their own gift and their own piece that they come to shift and refine on the journey. In this, they really are a part of a puzzle when we all come together and each piece is needed and appreciated. It is great to have a whole experience in this way.

Now I’m looking forward to our next journey at the end of May. Not only will we be taking on another pyramid in the Mayan Caribbean, but our we are then inviting journey participants, our family and friends to come to our vow renewals, a ceremony that will be held on the beach and performed by a Mayan shaman. This too is promising to be quite an event!

Love & Light,

Kalyn
