Celebrating my Send Off into the Divine Mystery

My dear friends honored me with a Send Off Celebration last night to support me in my imminent departure into the Divine Mystery of my open-ended road trip to the Deep South! It was a joy filled evening of being wrapped in the love and encouragement of the amazing souls who surround me in my life. I will miss them dearly… <3

We had a contest to vote for a mascot to bring with me on the journey, and I am pleased to announce that from four contenders, Buller (a Danish childhood toy pictured above) was the winner! He will be joining me as my mighty traveling companion and the symbol of all those I love who will be with me in spirit... and following my progress throughout this adventure of Trust, Love and opening to the guidance of the Universe.

Preparations (both physically and emotionally) are intensifying as I approach my last week before departure. Packing is going well, but many emotional triggers are bombarding me and bringing up fears within… of the unknown...

• Will I have the stamina for this trip?
• Will I be scared?
• Will I be lonely?
• Where will I sleep?
• Will the Universe really have my back?
• Will I live my potential?
• Will I hear my guidance?

I am stretching my boundaries well beyond my comfort zone, but these questions can only be answered as I move from my thoughts into action… I am looking forward to finally reaching the "experience" of it!!

How are you challenging yourself to step out of your comfort zone?

Pushing up against my edges in Phase 2...

Messages from the Universe… Phase 2!

I have been on a journey with this creative project since the idea was first birthed in mid December. My dream is to give away $100 bills, but I didn't want to wait until I had a million dollars to begin!
So I started Phase 1 with an amount I felt peaceful sharing from my own savings account: $155. That included a total of about 57 envelopes, mostly with $1 and $3 amounts. When that was done, I had had so much fun, I decided to go to Phase 1b with about $200… That still felt pretty easy breezy…

By the end of that phase, I began receiving some feedback (yay!!) through my website (click here to read), had experienced profound connections with many strangers, and was feeling excited and inspired to move on up to Phase 2!! I even received a very generous donation of $100 from a friend to help support my venture!!! 

So I made the decision to go to the bank to withdraw the $1000 (!!) required to begin making my dream a little bigger. Now, most of the envelopes contain $5… and some with $10. But I am also feeling my edges of doubt and worry… 
Am I really doing the right thing? (it sure feels good!) 
Is it making a difference in people's lives? (I know it is in mine) 
Will I run out of money (as my son voiced to me)? (perhaps) 
Will I have regrets? (NO!) 
Am I crazy??! (hell yeah, but in a good way, lol!!)

In my heart, I feel happy and full of inspiration when I am working on this project and connecting with people! I can't imagine doing anything else that would give me more joy and satisfaction!! So my only course of action, as I see it, is to fully surrender to Divine Guidance and TRUST that it will grow and expand if it is the will of the Universe to do so…. and to continue giving only what feels peaceful for me to give.

I'm still playing the lottery (smile), and am slowly beginning to follow my guidance and intuition to expand my message of hope and love to a wider audience… and opening to the infinite possibilities of allowing funding to flow through me into this amazing and heartfelt undertaking. :) You can help by posting and sharing my Hug Healer Facebook page, this website/blog, or my Twitter account!! Thank you! :)))

Here's to being and extending more Love in the world!!

Keep On Huggin'

As I slowly emerge from the dark and isolated cave of a nearly one month illness, I am in the process of questioning and reassessing my purpose in life.  Am I on the right track? Is it even going anywhere? Who do I want to be? 

My enthusiasm for my Hug Healer message was strong at the beginning of the year. It felt right and true and purposeful... but then I got sick and had little strength to do anything other than survive each day. Now as the clouds begin to clear and I reengage gradually with life, the purpose of sharing love and connection is growing in me again. 

As they say: What doesn't kill us makes us stronger... and challenges help us become who we are meant to be. So I will keep hugging and sharing this message of love... and continue to discover where that path leads me.
