This is my first video blog. I am sure they will keep getting better and better. I still remember how nervous I was when I recorded my first podcast! Enjoy. Finally the face behind the words …….

Aloha!

I need your help…

I hope you will take 5 minutes to answer 11 short questions about what you most want out of life. I’d love to hear about your frustrations and successes and everything in between.

The reason I’m doing this is simply to make sure I’m helping you on your journey as best I can. I want to create programs and systems that truly help you create the best possible life you can have. But I can’t do it without you!

Here is the link for the survey

Once again, thanks in advance for taking a brief moment out of your day and I really look forward to hearing from you!

With love and aloha,
Susan

Fear is such an interesting emotion. It has stopped so many people from living the life of their dreams, it has allowed events like the Holocaust and encourages so much pilikia (trauma and drama) in the world.

If we decide to move away from fear we create fear to move away from but if we consciously choose to move toward love instead we create love to move toward. Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out which method would create a more pleasant experience.

Yet, our habitual, knee jerk reaction is to run away from fear. Our bodies are even hardwired to do that but you can begin to make a conscious choice moment by moment until moving toward love becomes your default setting.

Images of my beautiful yard, imagine sitting here, meditating while feeling the love, magic and aloha.

Impatients by the pond

Plumerias, they smell so sweet

Bananas almost ready for picking

With incredible gratitude for life,

This is an audio of a talk I did a few weeks ago at New Thought of Hawaii. I thought you might enjoy listening to it.

Speaking words of wisdom, Let it Be, Let it Be. That song has been stuck in my mind for months now. Those of you who are familiar with my work know the Grandmother. She shares her wisdom through what I call teaching stories. She was a storyteller and her stories appear in three of my books.

For a long time I have wanted to write a book of teaching stories. My agent wasn’t wild about the idea but the other day I decided I would write it and the publisher would come. I fully expected the book to be written by the Grandmother. Imagine my surprise when Mary showed up instead. Here is one of her stories. I guess the two of them will share the honors of being the storytellers.

With love and aloha,

The main objective of the Toltec tradition is to change our point of creation from our mind to our spirit. When I first began this journey I had a hard time discerning whether my inner guidance was coming from my mind or my spirit. Through trial and error, practice, discipline and dedication over the years it has become much easier.

I am in the process of building an addition to my home. The top floor is going to be my meditation room. I have had some doubts about the need for a third story when two would suffice but I have followed that inner knowing and insisted on the third floor.

Yesterday I came home after several days away. The builder had put the floor on the third story while I was gone so as soon as I got home I climbed up to see the view. I was only there a few minutes when a beautiful rainbow began to appear, slowly at first and then it expanded into a full arch. I took it as a sign from my spirit of well done.

Just beginning to show

Getting bigger

A complete arch

I could have noticed or not, saw it as a sign or not and I could have ignored my desire to document the process and take pictures every day (a miracle for me). What really matters is how I feel energetically, expanded and connected to my spirit or contracted, fear based and disconnected.

And if you notice the sky, the sun is shinning and there was no rain anywhere, unusual conditions for a rainbow!
