If you forge on through, you will be taken to a new place where you\u2019ll be able to make a richer impact on your audience, dive deeper with your customers, deliver your message in a clearer way, and shine brighter than you ever have before.<\/p>\n
Before you get to that place, though, you\u2019ll be called to let go of everything that no longer serves you. If there are money leaks in your finances, those will need to be stopped. If there are relationships that drain you, those will need to be repaired or discarded. <\/p>\n
If there are any \u201cblack blobs on your glowing ball of light\u201d or any area where you are in-congruent with your message, you will be challenged in that very area. Your strengths will feel more like weaknesses.<\/p>\n
At times it may feel like everything you valued in yourself \u2013 everything you felt you were good at — is stripped away. You\u2019re left with nothing. The truth is, you aren’t alone. You do still have something incredibly valuable. In fact, it is EVERYTHING.<\/p>\n
As I traveled through the Transparency Phase, I started owning this gift, but it took a while to come to that point.<\/p>\n
Eventually, I came to understand that what I bring to the table is not web traffic, promotional ability, creating revenue, teaching, or even influence. <\/p>\n What I do have is my ability to ask, seek inspiration, receive it and act upon it. Markets can change, Google can create new algorithms, calamities may befall, but with this power to seek inspiration, receive it, and act, anything is possible. <\/p>\n I am not alone. And neither are you!<\/strong><\/p>\n This gift of receiving and acting upon inspiration is what has carried me through the last 23 years in business. But I will warn you … as you come to realize that all you really need is heaven\u2019s inspiration (and that’s all you have), even that may be tested. Circumstances may cause you to question\u2026<\/p>\n – How much do I trust my ability to receive inspiration and hear correctly? <\/p>\n – What do I do when my inspiration is called into question by others? <\/p>\n – Will I follow it even when others don’t agree or think I’m wrong? <\/p>\n It’s an interesting place to be… but I’ve been amazed at the clarity that comes simultaneously. During this pivotal time, I was given panoramic views of my life — the good, the bad, the deception, the light. the people who have been strategically placed in my life for pivotal purposes. It’s very empowering to discern so clearly and speak your truth — even when it might hurt someone else’s feelings or rock the boat.<\/p>\n I understand now why Job in the Bible asked that his integrity not be taken away. When everything you think you are is stripped away, all that is left is your integrity. Your desire to hang onto it makes you courageous in speaking from that place of clarity… speaking your truth… no matter what the cost, no matter what anyone else thinks or feels. You have nothing else to lose.<\/p>\n THIS is the place from which you are ready to SHINE!<\/strong><\/p>\n If you’re going through the Transparency Phase, I hope you’ll join me for my Traversiamo System<\/a>. Traversiamo is an Italian word that means “let’s cross over.” Don’t doubt yourself. You have the gifts and the knowledge within you. It’s time to cross over to that place of shining and I’ll be guiding you through the process.

<\/a>For months I was like a bird on a branch that was cracked and snapping beneath me. I’d been trusting in the security of the branch. I didn’t realize I didn’t need the branch because I had the power of flight within my wings! <\/p>\n
