Permission to Surrender
Creative Permissions
I’m celebrating that this is my 40th episode! For 40 weeks, I’ve shared stories and insights with you and have loved it. Thank you for being part of my journey and inviting me to be part of yours. So grateful! And, I’ve decided to pause the podcast for the summer. In this episode, I reflect on the joys of the podcast and on lessons learned since its launch. I also share how while meditating, the word “surrender” popped into my mind and how I’ve been exploring what does to surrender mean? How does one go about it? In asking, answers came in different...

Permission to Have a Hard Time Prioritizing Self
Creative Permissions
This week I experienced disappointment. In previous episodes, I’ve shared with you my focus on health and the various things I’ve changed to move forward on my health-related goals. I’ve changed my diet. I exercise almost daily. I meditate. And, I’ve had success such as healing from cancer, getting stronger, growing an inch, but one metric was pending. Last week I got the results from my bone density test and these were not what I was hoping for. Since the previous test in 2024, I’ve continued to experience bone loss, which was so disappointing. What do you...

Messages from Beyond

Have you ever heard people talk about how they get messages from their loved ones that have passed? Or talk about how they were thinking about a person and suddenly that person calls? Or been looking for a lost object and then unexpectedly they get information about where this object is? I love getting nudges from the Universe. It reminds me that in some way we are all connected. In this episode I’m excited to share with you an experience that surprisingly happened on my Mother’s birthday. My Mom passed away five years and I miss her dearly. If heaven...

Facilitating Miracles
Creative Permissions
During the summer of 2024, I made my Mom’s dream come true. I visited Lourdes, France where Mother Mary appeared to Saint Bernadette in February 1858. My Mom had always wanted to visit Lourdes and so when I had the opportunity to go, I took it without any hesitation. Lourdes is a very special and sacred place. People from all over the world visit for different reasons. Some are asking for miracles, some are giving thanks for the miracles received, some want to experience the Energy of the place. In this episode, I share my experience when visiting...

The Power of 8
Creative Permissions
How would you like to participate in a group that is setting healing and peace intentions? In my last episode, I talked about not tolerating things and mentioned how I would sometimes avoid things because I thought there was nothing I could do. But in 2023, I was introduced to Lynne McTaggart and the Power of 8 circles. Lynne McTaggart is a journalist that has worked with many prestigious scientists conducting experiments about the power of groups and mass intention. In her book, The Power of 8, she shares how she led a peace experiment focused on Sri Lanka and the...

Permission to Reclaim Mother Mary

I am very excited to introduce to you Reverend Frances Fayden! In previous episodes, I’ve mentioned how I met Frances and how with her support I’ve changed so much in my life.

In 2012, Frances had a profound encounter with Mother Mary which changed her life. Since that date, Frances has been channeling and sharing messages from Mother Mary. While I was undergoing chemo, I came across one of...

Permission to Not Tolerate
Creative Permissions
What is the difference between having a good life and a great life? Well, there are many reasons, but this past week I noticed that I was tolerating things. If you have a pebble in your shoe, it hurts and so immediately you take it out. But are there things that bother you just a little and so you tolerate them? I know I do. In this episode, I realized that there are many little things that bother me, but not necessarily enough to look for better options. At work, I was doing something that bothered my boss and she didn’t tolerate it. In fact, she asked...

Permission to Grow an Inch
Creative Permissions
The human body is amazing! It’s an exquisite system that we don’t really know how it all works and frequently, we take for granted. I didn’t really give my body much thought until I got sick. It just worked and I was grateful for that, but didn’t really go the extra mile to take care of it. After finishing chemo and radiation for breast cancer, my bone density test results indicated that I had lost about 8% bone density and due to medications, I’m at high risk of losing even more. My oncologist suggested another medication to help reduce the potential...

Permission to Shift Away from Judgement
Creative Permissions
Have you ever judged someone else? I’m not proud of it, but at a wedding I recently attended, I caught myself judging other people, more specifically, other women. I didn’t like how that felt. Then, I was able to see and hear how some of these women were looking in the mirror and negatively judging themselves. Why do we do this? I quickly researched why do people judge others and many reasons came up. From insecurities to a need to feel superior to projecting our flaws onto someone else. In this episode, I reflect on judgement and how when we judge...

Permission to Be in the Magic
Creative Permissions
I love being in the magic! For me, magic and miracles are really closely connected and have nothing to do with magicians or magic tricks. Experiencing the magic, is when I am in the flow and all things just work out. Or, when something happens that’s better than whatever I had in mind or could have imagined. It feels bigger than coincidences or happenstance. Recently, I traveled to Guatemala and the trip was amazing! In this episode, I’m excited to share with you my magical experiences, but I’ve always had magic in my life. However, something was...
info_outlineI am still in awe about how powerful words are.
On my last episode, I shared with you how I witnessed a miracle while having coffee with a dear friend. We shared encouraging words and over those words/energy and magic happened.
But, what happens when the words are not positive, loving and encouraging? As I wondered about this question, this morning on social media a story surfaced where a famous artist shared how painful his childhood was due to the words his father would frequently direct to him. In the interview, this artist asked, “Don’t people realize how much pain they can cause with what they say?”
In this episode I explore how our thoughts, which then become words, can lead to creating what we want and even what we do not want. I also share a tool that can easily be used to shift away from the thoughts and words that arise from fear, anxiety or any negative emotion.

Takeaways:
- Words are powerful vehicles that support our creating what we want and even what we do not want.
- You have the power to choose your words and therefore the power to create the reality you are constantly manifesting for yourself.
- Focusing on the positive and removing the negative can be done. This process can simply start by envisioning things on a spectrum and then using an easy tool to stop our negative words and thoughts.
