I’ve always been an eff it let’s go kind of woman. I believe this is one of my greatest strengths. By fearlessly taking action in my life I have moved past my fears and shared my gifts with the world. I hope this video inspires you to share 

It’s the first new moon of 2012, and this time, it’s also the Chinese New Year. The fierce, fabulous Dragon roars in, the flames of its breath fanned by air-sign Aquarius. Dragon years are intense and karmic, and can bring births, deaths and major transformations. The last one was in 2000, another year like 2012 that had significant myths and even legends around it (remember the Y2K data-crash scare that never happened?). End of the world? Doubtful, but with the Dragon’s transformative powers, it might be the end of the world as we know it, a time of important change.

The first full moon of 2012 is here, and it’s in sensitive, heart-centered Cancer. Since this zodiac sign is naturally ruled by the moon, it’s a super-powered date that will bring out our highest, most intuitive selves—along with a whole range of emotions. Consider this a holiday hangover of all the fuzzy family vibes, and catch up with your clan if you didn’t get enough bonding time in last month. Open your heart to other people everywhere you go. The “power of love” is no joke, so make compassion your engine. We once heard Dr. Christiane Northrup say that the electromagnetic field of the heart can expand up to eight feet outside of the body. Pretty cool!

I was walking around Golden Gate Park recently, chatting with my spiritual running buddy Tricia Barrett, when Tricia piped up, “So how many apples have you eaten today.”

I had only eaten a bowl of brussels sprouts for breakfast, so I answered, “None.”
