2013 can be called the year of change. <\/p>\n
Does it seem like the life you once knew has been burned to the ground and you\u2019re left with what appears to be nothing? You’ve been on a roller coaster of change, a ride you didn\u2019t sign up for, and one you can\u2019t seem to get off? Or maybe you were the one who initiated a change \u2013 and buckled up for a bumpy ride \u2013 but it is turning out to be more challenging than you ever anticipated. <\/p>\n
It\u2019s all on purpose! <\/p>\n
No matter who you are or where you live, we all seem to be experiencing massive changes that are waking us up \u2013 often shaking us at our most sensitive points \u2013 causing us to go through very difficult and painful transitions. <\/p>\n
Everyone around the world is experiencing this, some in bigger ways than others. You may wonder what is going on? Why is this happening? Why can\u2019t I seem to get out of this?!? You’re doing everything you can to keep moving forward but it\u2019s taking everything to take just one step. You\u2019re tired, earnestly searching for answers to make sense of it all and need support. It\u2019s not just you. For many, the area you\u2019re being affected in is the longstanding issue that has been holding you back \u2013 one you haven\u2019t been willing or didn\u2019t know how to address. It is also your greatest source for breakthrough. <\/p>\n
Health. Family. Finances. Career. Spiritual. Self.<\/p>\n
We are all being challenged to step up to our truest selves and then to be a light for others around us. That\u2019s what the transition you\u2019re going through today is all about. As long as we\u2019re stuck not valuing ourselves, not trusting our inspiration, comparing ourselves with one another, worrying about what society will think of us, or paralyzed by fear, how will we fulfill our missions here?<\/p>\n
Your pain and transitioning is absolutely necessary. Our hearts must be united with God and each other. We must have the courage to lift up our voices no matter what anyone else thinks. A clear connection with the divine is critical. We\u2019ll need to know how to unfailingly trust our inspiration, and act and speak when prompted to do so.<\/p>\n

\nAs Anastasia Montejano told me the other day, \u201cOur pain is on purpose.\u201d It is the caterpillar morphing into the cocoon and emerging as the butterfly. Laura West was telling me the other day that the caterpillar actually MELTS inside the cocoon. It\u2019s not just all warm and cozy in there.<\/p>\n
Anastasia and I are putting together a series of Google Hangout discussions on the 2nd and 4th Fridays of each month (Starting August 23rd). We\u2019ve both been through incredibly similar experiences and have learned parallel lessons along the way. We\u2019ll be talking about our journeys, and the things we\u2019ve learned to more gracefully navigate this transitional phase \u2013 so you have the courage and grace to walk your journey. <\/p>\n
