LONE-WOLF


I was once an expert on running-a-muck. Yeah, that's a word. And it was 100% true. Sometimes my endless 90mph energy was put to good use towards things like exercise or extra-circular activities, but most of the time, it went towards being a self-proclaimed wild child. Social status, the dating world, and countless girlfriends were almost always at the top of my priority list. I will never forget the 1st time a Life Coach called me out on the fact that what I was really doing was simply avoiding "self." Refusing to sit with just me and be. Of course, by that time, I was barreling through my late 20's with a white knuckle grip onto what I thought was my identity. In fact, looking back, I believe a part of me feared that "settling down" would leave me restless and bored.
Today, I am proud to announce just how wrong I was. I will always be an adventure seeker, but the adventures I chose now are completely different than 5 years ago. My life has taken on this Zen-like vibe, where "action" is usually associated with a nature based activity, and my free time without Julitto, is spent mostly flying solo. I used to avoid the alone time, and yet now, i find it rewarding and refreshing. What I used to view as "boring" is now a feeling of clam and peace. I had no idea how truly exhausted I was running from myself, and telling the inner me that i was just enjoying being popular.
What I enjoy today is a little dose of that Lone-Wolf. When my husband is away at training, I surprisingly soak up those moments of solace during a music infused power walk, long bubble bath, or the quiet time where I am blogging and all I can hear is the sound of the keys being typed and light hum of this laptop. I had no idea that I was even capable of being my own best friend. 
....kinda proud of me!

REIKI vs. READING

As my Reiki practice continues to grow strong, I find myself more than ever, hyper-focused on the client in front of me. My intent is not just to help them feel more at ease, relaxed, and tranquil, but to assist them in unblocking any old energies that may be stuck and hindering their natural, healthy, organic energy flow. I aim to clear away old emotional baggage, balance & activate their main Chakra points, and leave them feeling refreshed and recharged. ( My favorite is the white light bubble of protection....but that's another blog.) (((wink))) This past weekend, after a session with one of my Reiki clients, I could not deny the overwhelming sensation of depletion. I felt exhausted in a way that I have not felt during other sessions. After crashing into a full afternoon nap, I woke with curiosity and reached out to a couple fellow Reiki Practitioners for advice.One conversation really struck my soul and changed my perception, permanently... Since day 1, almost a year ...

WHERE DO YOU RESIDE?

There is this place called "All-About-Me-Ville" and it's growing population is astounding. I should know, I was nestled there for years. I lived right on the corner of Self Ave. and Centered Drive. (LOL) Okay, so you see where i am going with today's blog. Here's the real deal - I moved out of that zone about a year ago. It took several steps for me to officially awaken and grasp the concept of what life would be like if I took a bow on the stage of lif e and allowed the spot light to shine onto someone else's performance for a while. Truth be told, it was the most freeing sensation I have ever experienced!!!! The irony today is that I run into individuals that still patrol those streets on the daily and I cannot help but bounce back and forth between dumbfounded and frustrated. Not sure if you're one of the residents? Or perhaps you wonder if you have crossed paths with a narcissist? Here is how you can tell: 1) Do you find yourself having to repeat...
