My beautiful Carole,

The snow came early in October.

The leaves had not completely detached themselves and whoosh in came a heavy wet snow. It clung to the leaves and branches as if it were hanging on for dear life. The weight became so unbearable for many of our trees and shrubs.

Grant and I walked around our little forest with brooms and shovels helping any tree that asked for the weight to be released.

It was SO beautiful to see the trees bounce back with delight!

You know the outer world reflects our inner world.

🌳What is the weight you've been carrying that is too heavy?

🌳What is ready to be let go of?

🌳What needs to melt away for good?

Is there someone you can reach out to who can act as the broom or the shovel?

Do you have tools in your toolbox that you have forgotten to reach out for when life becomes too much?

🌳I'm here for you.

🌳Let me be your broom.

🌳I'm very good at sweeping!

Aho!

Musings & Ponderings...

Assumptions get you no where!

It has come to my awareness that I have not been transparent.

What does that even mean?

The other day a friend shared with me a snippet of a conversation she had with another friend. You know how that goes...

And I was the topic of conversation.

The other friend made an assumption.

I've always believed that when we assume anything we make an ass of u and me

(ass u me).

The assumption was that I was no longer doing my energy healing and I was only selling supplements for Tranont.

I observed my reaction to this statement.

It went something like this.

😻My jaw clenched,

😻My heart contracted,

😻I held my breath,

😻Anger arose in my body,

And

😻I felt a tremendous amount of sadness!

I really wanted to react, slash out, bash out and protect myself in some way.

I felt sadness because this other friend did not reach out to ask more questions from me.

But I took a deep breath, and in a moment I realized I have not been transparent.

Now I take full responsibility for not being transparent,

but I do believe that this other friend needs to take responsibility for their assumption.

One should never assume anything.

You do not know what that person is doing unless you ask the questions:

➡️Do you know why someone does something?

➡️Do you know what their intentions are?

➡️Do you know what they are dreaming into reality?

➡️Do you know their plan?

➡️Do you understand why they introduced plant medicine into their lives?

➡️Do you have any clue what you are talking about?

It never hurts to be curious and ask from the source directly.

When you speak any words, words have power.

We cast spells on people with words.

Make it a practice to speak from an informed place,

one that requires a heart to heart with the person in question.

And to be honest, that sacred conversation belongs in that container only.

Aho!

Full Transparency

DISCLOSURE

Shine Your Light has her own unique Spirit.

And like all Spirits they develop, grow and most definitely evolve.

Shine Your Light is coming into her 5 year cycle which means yet another business evolution. She is back in the chrysalis stage reinventing herself yet again! And I for one can't wait to see what she transforms herself into next year.

I know one thing the evolution journey is always magical.

One can not evolve without change and change means both death and birth.

Shine Your Light and Carole have both partnered up with Tranont to offer some of the best quality plant medicines available on the market. This does NOT mean this is ALL we do or going to do. Our Tranont collaboration gives us the space and capacity to show up and fully be visible in a balanced way.

I have already shared so many of my WHY's when it comes to Tranont. The inspired EmpowHERproject for one and the well being of my family.

But one of the Why's I have not shared is this.

I (Carole) entered into a deep lack mental state several months ago that had me spiraling into a big dark rabbit hole. One that had me trying to make decisions from a place of scarcity, fear, shame, resentment and full of desperation.

I'll be honest I did not like myself very much during this phase. Desperate to sell everything to get us out of this perpetual garbage bin of debt.

You want to talk about what feels heavy. Debt feels extremely heavy!

Tranont was and is a gift.

It landed in my lap at the perfect time in my life.

First and foremost for selfish reasons...health.

We tolerate a lot in life and unhealthy becomes the norm.

But another reason why it is a gift is, it is financially supporting us, me, my family and Shine Your Light. I'm sorry did you not get this?

Yes I am making money. Wow I said it! Imagine that!

On the full blue moon of August I cancelled some old, useless contracts around money. My ancestors were set free and I was set free. I stomped my foot down and said no more. I'm not fucking doing this shit anymore.

I stepped fully into my power!

And I will say it here, if you feel the same let's do something about it together. Because we don't have to do this alone. That is the old paradigm, the old dimension and I'm stepping into a different time line now.

I want to state it here. There are many ways to show up as a shaman. Shamans are humans who walk on the earth awakened.

🪶That is all, awake.

🪶 We walk softly on the earth.

Our "being" is the medicine.

There is not just one way I show up. I have many gifts. I use them all, I share them all. I am passionate on how I share my energy medicine with the world. That is not going to stop. Even in Spirit form I'll still be showing up. Hell, I already come to so many of you in your dreams. I'm working all the time.

My shamanic practices will continue, ceremony is a big part of Shine Your Light's contribution to this world. It's just now, it has become more whole because it includes the Plant Spirits.

Loving you always,

Aho!

So it is,

Carole
