I have willed stuff into being. Lot's of it. Will will willing willfulness. And if you dared to tell me (brave soul, you), in the midst of my willfulness, that I should let go of my expectations, (gasp!) I would have gone stone cold, or snortle-laughed you off, or pressed delete. Because I thought expectation was a key ingredient to manifestation. Turns out it's a major distraction. And I'm done with it. For now. (One day at a time 'n all that.)

Hey Spirit Junkies! Today’s vlog is about trusting that the Universe has your back. I’ve been working my trust muscles a lot lately and hope to inspire you to do the same. Feel free to leave comments about where you need more faith and trust in your life. By simply sharing this you’re releasing your desire to the care of your inner guide. Enjoy the vlog!

I’ve always wanted to walk a labyrinth - you know those spiraled paths that lead nowhere and everywhere.

I was in luck. Kripalu, where I was teaching a workshop recently, had one that was reputed to be particularly magical. And I got enmeshed in walking the labyrinth as the sun set for over an hour.

Something big is afoot. I’ve been saying it all year. The minute 2011 trumpeted its way in, I knew. I could just feel it. Change was in the air.

And I was not happy about it. 

So I crossed my arms and shook my head and said, “Sorry Change, go knock on someone else's door, I’m not having it,” and closed the door on Change to continue with my comfortable -- and safe -- little routine. Meanwhile, Change pitched a tent out in my front yard and taunted me from a distance. I would peer at it through the curtains,  but refused to engage it in any way -- and we danced around each other in this manner for quite awhile.

Then I made my mistake (which actually wasn’t a mistake at all).
