Start Fresh With Fall Reflections AT FORTY FIVE Magazine Issue 2021 05

AT FORTY FIVE MAGAZINE /07
It is clear the world is changing. Many people
believe things are getting worse and we are
going backward but the truth is, everything is
getting uncovered and brought out into the
open. This is the good news. Anything that
remains hidden won’t change and can’t be
healed.
The question most people want to be answered
is, how do we navigate this shift that is
occurring on our planet? How can we meet the
fear, judgment, hatred, anger, and violence
without fighting against it and adding more
fear?
As I reflect on what it took to bring this book to
life, I am in awe of the process. I practically
wrote it with my eyes closed. I had no idea of
what each chapter topic would be until it was
finished. The chapters came out in sound bites,
often in the wee hours of the morning. I had no
idea what I was writing until the words stopped
flowing through my fingers and I would read
what I wrote. Whenever I felt resistance or went
into my head to figure it out, I would stop and
walk away. I was practicing deep trust and
writing with blind faith.
All I knew for sure was that this book needed to
be written at this time. I knew in my heart that
there are people waiting for this message and
many are calling for some form of a guide to
help them navigate this incredibly challenging
shift that is happening on our planet. Yes, it is
incredibly challenging, and it is literally shaking
the ground beneath our feet. At the same time,
it is waking us all up and exposing some deep
darkness that has remained hidden for a long
time. Everything is being brought into the light
of awareness so we can heal deeply and
collectively.
This book is designed to challenge our
programmed thinking minds. The messages
may not be what we want to hear, but I
guarantee they are what we need to hear in
order to unwind our minds and open our
hearts. This thirty-day guide will shake us up to
wake us up to a new way of being in a
relationship with each other.
This global shift is necessary. It is essential. It is
timely. If we are to change what is no longer
working so we can evolve as a species, we must
all find a way to navigate this shift and be
willing to play our part. It is important to
remember that everyone’s part is essential.
The time is now! No more turning a blind eye.
No more pretending. No more hiding. No more
trying to fit in. Let’s bring it all into the light of
awareness and ride this wave of change and
evolution so we can unite in love for each other
and our planet. It is time for all of us to Stand
UP, Stand OUT, and Stand STRONG.
Take my hand. Let’s begin together ….

Care Too Much, It Hurts
