This is me, back in November 2004. The picture was taken in Chicago when I went there to visit a guy I was “dating online”. The trip happening in a middle of people telling me I was crazy for going there to meet this guy and putting my life in danger and others telling me I had no idea what I was doing… what if he was a serial killer?
I did it anyways…
Not discounting the fact that there are crazy people, such as serial killers out there, but how many times I had to do something because I really wanted to do in instead of letting the fear take over myself and decided that “living in fear” was the only option?
Raise your hands how many times you didn’t do something because you were afraid of or what if’s?
Anyways, the “guy and I” didn’t hit off and this turned out to be one of the trips I had being on my own. I walked all over, by myself and visited a couple of different places there, three days later I got inside a plane and got back home. Safe and sound…
I have noticed that as many things in my life I have to choose to “take a chance”, some of those chances has dramatically changed my life, others it has been lessons I have collected and refer to when needed. The Chicago trip one is one of those ones I refer to or tell the story of the “guy from Chicago I met over Thanksgiving holiday”
At least, I was able to make memories…
To be honest, back then, I had no idea of what I was doing, my intention was to travel somewhere, but I was too afraid to go without knowing someone. So, going online and meeting someone would make me feel more comfortable, however the Universe even showed me that I didn’t “need someone”.
The difference between Liz then and Liz now? After working in myself and have healed many layers of who I was and have done many things the way I did, I have realized that I don’t need to know someone to be a secure spot to go somewhere or to take care of me, I am free to go anywhere my heart leads me to, I am independent and have enough will power to make my very own decisions based in unconditional love, for myself and others!
That’s the key! Your heart! Checking wiht your heart why you are going, where you are going ad how it feels, makes you decide if it is the step that will serve your soul.
How do you do that? You cnnect to your heart and your soul in a daily basis!! This is one of the tools I teach my VIP clients. This is one of the most valuable tools to have for life because once you recognize the reason behind why you are doing something, it gives full awareness of where you want to take your life!
Doesn’t it sound amazing? No, it doesn’t, it’s amazing!!

I remember, years ago, my old self making such comment: "What does Taylor Swift has that she is so famous?"Looking back, maybe her confidence or something I was mirroring triggered me, I am not sure...
Two days ago, while doing cardio on the elliptical, I turned the TV to a documentary about Taylor Swift's career and life. I must confess that I was touched to learn about her journey in dealing with her public and being famous, and her journey of discovering her mission and stepping into her power, especially the "Kayne West situations - his comment and the song he made involving her name". Since becoming aware of my own spiritual journey, I have started to respect many people out there, including her, in a different level, however, watching this documentary also has showed me a side of someone I never followed on the news, listening to her songs or has been someone who I knew anything about her music, other than know her name and face, which I am can be pretty bad at...I realized that, like me, SHE is also HUMAN...
but I also learned that:
1 - We all deserve respect!
2 - Not everyone will like you for your gifts, and that's ok, this won't make you more or less. Even Jesus, who was perfect! had people who didn't agree with who he was or his mission!
3 - We ALL have our struggles and lessons we have to go through
4 - A lot of money does not end people's problems, they have different lessons
5 - She is talented, I was the one who never learned about who she was
6 - Never judge someone by just seeing them once or twice, without knowing their story or path - even if you do know, don't judge!
7 - Always give compassion!!
there are many other lessons to be learned here...what do you think, have you ever had someone you didn't like then you realized that it was you, not the other person? Let's face, Taylor Swift doesn't even know I exist lol

#givingtuesday
I just got back from Walmart and if you are an empath, going to Walmart is like going to war, unless otherwise you ground and protect yourself, or you WILL feel drained leaving there, most likely you may need a nap after.
As soon i got into the cart area an older man seemed upset because I accidentally got in front of him, as i was going into the store and he crossed the path i was going, to get himself a cart, he looked very upset!!! I calmly waited for him to cross and wished him a nice day, imagining i was sending him green light from my heart. My shopping experience went well, i had tons of people smiling to me and "letting me cross over their paths <3" as they gently nodded their heads...
i had no lines and no issues with the self-checkout #winwin
I could have chosen to get mad at the old man, who maybe was having a not so good day, or going through an issue I am not aware of, however, I was aware of the fact that, the reason why he reacted the way he did, had nothing to do with me, NOTHING... big chances are he has done this to someone else there...
Also, we always give ONLY what we have to give, you can't give from an empty bag. If you have love, respect, compassion, a bag of smiles inside yourself, make sure to distribute it, you certainly will affect somewhere out there differently. Also choose make your experience your own, the way YOU want, and not based in situations and cirscunstances.
I choose to give this man some love... maybe that was all he needed today...
What are YOU giving today?
Also, who here feels drained when goes to Walmart?

One of the things I have learned on this conscious spiritual journey is, every time i feel triggered is because there is something that needs to be worked on.It wasn't always like this, i used to get mad at people and situations as a way of looking for a reason or someone to blame for things i didn't have "the balls" to take responsibility.
We try to blame the government,
We try to blame our family
We try to blame our job
We try to blame the cashier at the grocery store
or even the dog that didn't stop barking lol
Anyways, we are pretty creative beings!!
We all have being there at some point and that's OK, it's a human setting, checked!
I have learned this the hard, or no so easy way…
First things first, when I hired one of my first spiritual coaches and I have had many, I wasn’t aware that I was paying that person to trigger me and push me to face all the ghosts I had inside, from the feelings of abandonment to the fact that I was so afraid to love and be loved.
I remember in one of the sessions while leaving, I started to mumble to myself, “Yeah right, she knows nothing, who does she thinks she is?” just because at that moment a can of worms had been opened and I didn’t know how to deal with, aka, inner-child issues that come up to the surface.
Years later, I realized that by paying her and being in a session I was giving her permission to use her experience, to channel, to use whatever tools she had under her sleeves in order to help me.
Same can happen when you ask for help, you must be open to how you going to receive, release the control and take in. The help may not come the way you have anticipating or it is expecting. In fact, sometimes we miss opportunities because it is not the way we have imagined, when it comes to us.
Between coaching, therapy and inner work, I was able to process a lot and I am still digging and removing the levels of it. I keep asking those for help and open to receive what the feedback will be. If you think I no longer get triggered, you would be wrong, I certainly do, then I dig why, I look within, and I take responsibility for the way I am feeling.
Is the process always pretty? Many would say no, but in the mist of anger I also have learned to appreciate the moments that my shadow side takes over. Now, I would say thank you for all of those who has been on my way, so the lessons can be learned and I can claim one more piece of who I am.

Did you know we all have an “internal driving system” almost like a GPS, but way better, giving you daily guidance and clear direction of where and when to go?
However,
Your FEARS,
LIMITED BELIEFS,
SENSE OF SELF TRUST
AND anything else your subconscious mind can throw in the pile creates a veil that doesn’t let you see clearly.
I love when I do a reading to someone and I can totally see in their faces that I am not telling them anything new, I am just confirming what into at some degree they already knew…
And when I say that I can completely see on their faces not only I sense of “I knew it”, but damn, why didn’t I believe in myself enough
I tell them to trust their gut feeling that is ALWAYS THERE to support them. We all have this. It’ a factory setting that it’s installed in everyone’s soul…
It takes courage and practice to start believing in yourself and your intuition, you may be “wrong” sometimes, by getting mixed with your conscious mind that try to control everything, but among “errors, mistakes and rights”, the lessons are much bigger than not trying and avoiding the ability to gradually step into your own wisdom and power.
I did it, made mistakes, learned, made mistakes and learned and learned and learned and I am still learning, so do you…
Believe in yourself…

"Amaterasu is the Sun Goodness of Japan. When insulted by her crude brother, Susano-o, the storm God, she withdrawn into a cave and refused to come out. Distressed by the withdrawn of the Sun, Uzume, the Shaman-Goddess, did a comical bawdy dance to entertain the Gods and Goddesses and to provoke Amaterasu's curiosity. When Amaterasu opened her door to peek, she was dazzled by her own beauty, reflected to her in a mirror the Gods and Goddesses had installed, and came out."

Dear Beautiful Soul,One of the reasons why woman come to me is to lose weight by following the Ayurveda cleansing guidelines. There is certainly nothing wrong with trying to lose some weight, feeling amazing and on top of that give your digestive system a reset, also going through the program gives a whole new perspective about your body. However, some of those people come back to me a couple months later because they want to lose more weight, I explain to them that as long they keep their body functioning healthy according to the Ayurveda lifestyle instructions, they won't have a problem in loosing weight as i don't suggest anyone to go through cleansing process at least 8 months apart, case by case, and some people I would rather do every 12 months, with mini cleanses in between. Think with me, when you do a full 21 days body cleanse, it's like you will be killing everything in your body, the bad and the good, so your body needs time to strength and repopulate the system, so doing several times will weaken your immune system and leave you open to receive the unwanted tenants.For me, Ayurveda is more than a lifestyle, is a way of perceiving my physical and energetic body in a whole different level. I have learned and experienced that NO ONE in the whole Universe is like me, so i can't compare myself to anyone else, I am an UNIQUE BEING!

Most of us at some point acquired the idea that we must look a certain way, have a certain weight on the scale, have a hair that doesn't get messy, walk on high heels, have your nails ours done or whatever bullet must be added to the beauty manual of a "woman put together".Do you know your unique beauty or do you feel like you can't be beautiful because you don't look like a movie star? Amaterasu says that all woman possess the light of the feminine and the light is beauty. She advises to let go of preconceptions about what beauty is and allow your beauty to be. Wholeness is nurtured when we celebrate all our aspects. Embrace who you are, you are beautiful! you are amazing!

When you shine your light, you also allow others to shine theirs... 

This past weekend I went to home depot and had so much fun! Yep! You read it right, home depot!
As I was looking to buy fresh flowers and plants aka orchids, I met a lady who was working in the garden department, she was able to share with me about how to take care of orchids, how to keep them longer, how to recognize when they are healthy and so on, it was a mini basic about orchid class. She also showed me how to recognize when a plant will be able to root into the water so you can make more from it.
I would say that Marylee was a retired orchid/plant expert who was “working” there “just to get out of the house”. She also showed me how it looks when you are in your core and spreading yourself with love, her energy was so peaceful, calm and loving, I would have stayed there all day listening to her talking about plants. She also shared with me that she has about 40 orchids at her house.
My home depot experience wasn’t done…by the time I got to the cashier, my plant was not only paid for but packaged and good to go as someone who was with me not only paid for but had me on track in leaving the store, yes, I did kind of daydream while there, it was a really good experience! When you have fun things just doesn’t really matter around you.
I was able to have an amazing experience at Home Depot by learning, connecting and getting a lovely gift just by being in the present moment.
When you vibrate love, excitement, and self-love, the Universe responds back to you accordingly. 
Celebrate you and be open to receive!
