A Thanksgiving message from my heart to yours:

I give up.

I give up looking outside of myself for the answers.

I give up my doubting my own knowing.

I give up resistance and asking “when? when? when?”

I give up looking to the past to determine my future.

I give up trying to figure out how it’s going to happen.

I give up comparing myself with others, especially when I’m scrolling through social media.

I give up thinking I should be further along than I am.

I give up believing in lack.

I give up trying to cram things in my schedule.

I give up doing things so that I’ll be liked or accepted or seen as cool.

I give up saying “yes” to someone when I really mean “no.”

I give up thinking that someone else has the answer, the formula, the magic solution for the breakthrough I’m desiring.

I give up being hard on myself for not getting “it.”

I give up not giving myself the utmost compassion.

I give up going out of trust with my own body and my own knowing.

I give up believing that there’s anything wrong with me and that I don’t have what it takes.

I give up stopping myself from putting my message out there because I’m worried what a certain someone or someones will think.

I give up believing I can mess up, make a mistake or make a wrong decision in the grand scheme of things.

I give up forgetting that it’s all for me, all for MY joy, and that truly all is well.

I AM my biggest champion and cheerleader. I give up these things, and I do not give up on myself.

I give up, and I give thanks.

Thank you for this precious now moment. Thank you for being alive, for the joy of being here, for the abundance, the grace, the growth, the depth of connection experienced.

And I give thanks to you.

THANK YOU for being part of my community, for reading my emails, for connecting with me, for buying from me, and for allowing me to be of service to your inspiring vision, message and energy you are putting out in the world.

I love you!

Happy Thanksgiving!
