FINDING OUR PURPOSE by wendy Hutchinson
LIFE IS AN ETERNAL FLOW OF EXPERIENCE, IT’S A DANCE BETWEEN OUR EGO AND SOUL Life is an eternal flow of experience, it’s a dance between our Ego and soul providing expression and awareness of who we are and why we are here. As we evolve and grow our perception of purpose changes. As we slay aspects of self that no longer align with our truth, we pull the veils of forgetfulness away and begin the deep inner work of remembering who we are. From an early age we define ourselves by the values imprinted on us by our parents, our culture, and friends. Society encourages us to find purpose in actively pursuing “success” but what really does that mean? Are we pursuing success for validation and confirmation of our worthiness or are we pursuing success because that feels aligned with our soul? The answer to that question will vary for each individual and is also intrinsically tied to who we are and what we believe.
For a long time, I believed my purpose was to be “successful,” to validate my worth through a career or by being an amazing mom. Receiving validation that I was worthy through contribution and service to others felt good. I felt my purpose was to offer my time and energy to support others at my own expense because that’s what good girls do, that’s what is expected of us as women, we support the people in our circle, our family, and friends. It turns out that wasn’t my purpose at all, those were my emotional wounds being expressed through service. Those acts of service were reflections of me not loving myself enough to honor my time and energy. The more I gave the more people took, it was exhausting to play those roles. My true purpose at that time was to learn the value of who I am, and after years of giving everything, I had nothing left to give. I learned a valuable lesson; just because I can doesn’t mean I should!
MY PURPOSE C HANGED AS I EVOLVED.
M
y purpose changed as I evolved. How I define myself and who I am constantly shapes my life purpose. I’ve gone through many seasons in life, the climate changes, storms blow through, I must adapt and change with each passing day.
I spent so much time saying yes to others which was saying no to what I needed to flourish and grow. I lost myself. My inner garden started to wither and die as I fertilized the gardens of everyone else. This is the point I decided to choose me, the moment I stopped pouring round up on my garden and started pouring miracle grow everywhere. As I blossomed, I found things shifting uncomfortably around me. People were angry that I was setting boundaries, but those boundaries empowered me. My purpose shifted to finding myself and learning to be the best version of me possible and that came from learning to love myself.
ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED HAS BEEN PURPOSEFUL; IT HAS BROUGHT YOU TO WHERE YOU ARE NOW..
- Iyanla Vanzant,
The foundation of knowing my purpose was to know myself. I had to filter out the noise and expectations of people around me and get real quiet inside. This is where my Ego wanted to step in and discourage me from pursuing my dreams, and fears were coming up to clear. I followed an unconventional path and became a Marconics Energy Healer and Ascension Coach, my intuition sharpened, and it became clear that my life purpose was to assist others in finding themselves. My spiritual journey accelerated, the knowing of who I am and why I am here became crystal clear. I silenced the inner critic, and I took aligned action even when it didn’t make sense to anyone else. I continued to clear old programs and narratives that no longer served me. As I released things that didn’t align with me, life began to flow. There was a lot of clarity around the people I was meant to serve, and I found that by filling myself with love and nurturing I was now pouring from the overflow instead of from an empty well. As I cleared emotional wounds and raised my vibe, I gained more perspective. I knew it was time to again pull all the energy I poured out into the world back into me. I stepped back from my healing practice. I was absolutely silent inside and I listened to the rhythm of my heart. I stopped measuring and judging myself.
My purpose shifted once more to focus on my own personal growth because when we are whole and complete, we hold higher light, and from that space, everything in energetic resonance with our frequency is delivered to us right on time. Life began to flow seamlessly, and I detached and observed the chaos outside while I remained calm inside. This is when I realized my true purpose is to connect to the divine light within me, to be the fullest expression of me in all that I do, and pour that energy and frequency out into the world, not by being “successful” but by being authentically me (whatever that looks like). That God particle in all of us is waiting to be expressed from an authentic place regardless of public opinion or outcome. Our purpose is to be whom we were born to be, to follow our heart and align with our soul. There is nothing more powerful or sacred than honoring our own personal journey and finding our place in the world as the best version of us. That is the purpose, that is why we are all here, and from this connection to our own divine goddess self, all things are possible.

the Importance of PURPOSE
...life purpose. The reason for our time on this earth. BY SAMANTHA TOUCHAIS BUSINESS & MINDSET COACH
I know this because I left a 22-year corporate career that took me all around the world and led me to be the head of brand marketing for some incredible household products. It was truly a privilege and an honour but I realised one day, as I sat in yet another meeting, that this wasn’t lighting up my soul. This did not feel like my purpose. This felt like just one stop along the path of my life. So how did I find my purpose? I did a lot of soul-searching, meditated and learned to sit in peace and quiet. Not easy for someone who is a high achiever and a Type A personality! If there is one word I see thrown around a lot lately, that word is purpose. The word itself is loaded with meaning and for some people loaded with pressure. The search for purpose seems to have reached a peak, particularly since the world stopped with Covid. But do we all need to find our purpose? Should we even be searching for it? And if we do start searching for it, will we ever find it?
In my capacity as a business coach for women, one of the first questions I ask new clients is why they wanted to start their own business. Many of my clients will talk about wanting a better balance in their life. Some will talk about wanting to make more money, while others want to have a bigger impact on the world and leave their legacy.

PURPOSE, IT’S KIND OF A SMALL WORD FOR SUCH A BIG CONCEPT
One day, my son, Zander, when he was 8 years old asked me what his purpose was. Heck, I don’t even know what my purpose is, I thought. Let alone yours. I told him that everyone’s purpose is different and that it was his job to figure it out as he went along. He didn’t like that answer and continued to ask me over several months about his purpose. I never knew what to tell him.
because of the lessons that we will learn from them. This belief helped me release the guilt I felt over some of the things that have happened during Zander’s life. Because if his soul chose me as his mom, then this is the path that he signed up for.
Sometimes I’d give suggestions like find something you really love doing and use it to help people. It sounded like a pretty good answer, one that I was trying to live my life by as well.
I chose to leave a bad marriage because I wanted a better life for him. I found the man of my dreams because I looked for a man I would be proud of Zander turning in to when he grew up. I wouldn’t settle for less than what he deserved because at the time, my deserve level wasn’t so high. My career change came from letting go of the guilt created by something I felt was my fault, that pesky mom guilt.
About six months passed and it continued to weigh heavy on him.
My son has been my course corrector when I’m going down a path I wasn’t meant to.
I joined a webinar with speaker and coach Lisa Nichols and on that call, I began to cry. Within seconds, my son showed up, sat on my lap and gave me a hug. To the men and women on the webinar, I laughingly said, “The tears show up and so does he.”
A lot of people wonder what their purpose is. They spend years trying to figure it out. I’m going to save you a lot of time and Google searching and tell you your purpose because it’s simple.
Without skipping a beat, Lisa replied, “He knows his purpose.”
Your purpose is to do the thing that you love, the thing that lights you up inside, the thing that excites you enough to jump out of bed to get started on, the thing you would do whether you got paid or not. Do that thing and use it to serve others.
After the call was over, I asked Zander if he’d heard what Lisa said about his purpose. “She said your purpose on this planet is to love me.”
Finally, he had an answer he would accept. I wanted to tell him his purpose was to make me happy, but that wasn’t a burden I wanted to give him. My happiness is my own responsibility, just as his happiness is his. Lisa’s words have stuck with me ever since. “He knows his purpose.” It got me thinking about my life since I’ve had him. I’ve gone through a divorce, a career change and I found the man of my dreams in Zander’s short life.
I am the Mom Support Coach. I support moms through the struggles of this crazy thing we call life. Being a mom is a full-time job. Teaching little humans to become big humans and help them figure it all out is difficult when most likely we haven’t figured it out either. If you’re struggling with finding your purpose, dealing with emotions, decreasing the chaos in your life and career, having peaceful communications with people in your life, I’m here for you. Schedule a free support call with me. I am passionate about helping moms enjoy every day, love their kids more, and feel freedom in their life. Don’t settle for the status quo; you deserve so much more. Until next time,

PURPOSEFUL LIVING
BY EILEEN BILD
What does it mean to live on purpose? Many believe they “have to” do something to achieve the results they desire. Work hard, push the limits, try harder, control, and make things happen. Where does this usually lead people? Into exhaustion…. Beating their head against the wall…. No further than they were before….. Resentful of others who are successful…. Jealousy, anger, and frustration…. Good news! You can learn how to live on purpose. There are principles at play all the time, 24/7, that guide us and assist us on our life journey. Once you understand these principles and you apply them to your daily life, you will go from wandering to purposeful living.
PRINCIPLE #1:
EVERYTHING IS ENERGY Purposeful Living:
What you think, what you do, what you say all has a direct and/or indirect impact on what happens in your life. When you have a thought, it reverberates throughout your system and you can feel it in your head, heart, stomach, back, throat, legs, or hands. Each one of these parts of your body represents something about you, inclusive of your beliefs. As your thought connects with your belief, then the action you take will be in alignment (even if it will lead to a not so good experience). Followed by how you respond in what you say. There is a continuous cycle of energy within the fabric of this process.
Be very aware and conscious of your thoughts. Do they feel good? Great, keep going. Do they feel not so good? STOP! Determine what can change, make the shift, and then move forward again. Also, make note of where, in your body, you feel these emotions. For instance, does your throat tighten at times when speaking or wanting to express a thought or decision? This indicates your voice is not being heard, and/or you are afraid to speak your truths. What can you do? Inner work on discovering the root cause, heal it and replace with YOUR strength and power.
PRINCIPLE #2:
DISCERMENT Learning to discern without questioning our decision takes practice. Make inspired choices, and gain clarity of what works and what does not work. Life decisions are made through repeated experiences within the hours, days, months, and years leading up to the moment of choice. Rethinking situations, questions that get to the heart of the matter, and principles that are interwoven in discernment will align with living on purpose.
Purposeful Living:
Taking a step back to assess the situation and take time to discern before acting. This may include stepping outside of the emotions attached, judgment, and assumptions. You will drop out of your head into the heart, enabling a heart-centered decision with an energy of assurity and confidence. Do you find yourself questioning many important decisions and then beat yourself up if the experience is not what was expected or wanted? Working on discernment will eliminate this process, override the questioning and will be replaced with certainty and assurity.
PRINCIPLE #3: FEAR (FALSE EVIDENCE APPEARING REAL) CREATES RESISTANCEN Fear is our biggest pit of quicksand keeping us stuck. Do you have self-doubt, worry, guilt, stress, and/or confusion? Great! Now that you acknowledge this, you can remove them and replace them with certainty, confidence, inner strength, comfort, and knowledge. Consider this: (Dr. Wayne Dyer) believed that worry and guilt are useless emotions because ‘guilt’ is wasting time thinking about something which cannot be changed; and ‘worry’ requires expending a lot of energy getting upset about something that may never happen. Do you have FEAR? Ask yourself, “what is the worst that can happen” and then ask, “what is the best that can happen without the FEAR?” You will realize fear is just a mask behind something greater to be revealed. It does not take rocket science to live on purpose; however, it does require a personal investment in finding the authentic self, who has your best interest at heart. Taker her/his hand and walk together through the sludge that holds you back. Once on the embankment of a new foundation, you can be empowered by studying these principles and with practical application experience profound shifts in your life, both personally and professionally. Wishing you all the best! Cheers! Eileen

I want you to know, that success is not on the figures that you make; and if you read carefully, none of these amazing women mentions money… And trust me, not because they are not making it, is because they want you to know that there’s much more than that when you start your own business. Is the impact that they want to make in the world, in at least one women’s life; for future generations to follow and know that there is always a way… And that you can choose what way you want to live your life.
My passion is to help women find their true calling and lead them into developing those unique skills and superpowers to create a life and business that they love and cherish every day; to become confident and secure of who they are; to live life in their own terms.
If this resonates with you, don’t be afraid to reach out… I was once in your shoes and I know it can be scary and overwhelming, but you know what’s scarier, keep living a life where you’re not happy nor fulfilled.
Everything is possible, take the first step and amazing opportunities will start showing up in your life.

Take the actions every single day to challenge yourself, to discover who you really are and to understand that is important to fail and struggle too; is from our struggles that we discover more of who we truly are and what we are capable of.
The “perfect” moment to start, doesn’t exist Queen; is the here and now that matters. Is the present moment that we must seek to live in full, every minute, every second of it; and why not doing something you absolutely love, with passion and love!
This month’s issue of Unchain Your Inner Strength is dedicated to those women who want to start their own business, feel empowered and happy. Each and every one of the contributors has gathered so much info, their best advice to help you on this amazing journey to self-discover and personal success.

4 steps to your Soul aligned Business by Amanda Herr Intuitive Soul Guide
If you have what I call the entrepreneurial spirit, you’ve probably thought about starting a business thousand of times, but just haven’t done it yet! Whether it’s fear, or not really knowing what to do or where to start – my goal with the article is to help you get clear on your purpose, and get you started on the planning stages with a few spiritual and practical steps. While I understand that some people are more practical, and some are more spiritual than others, a balance of the two is what will create success in starting and sticking to your soul-aligned business! With that, let’s get started on the Step-by-Step Practical & Spiritual Guide on How to Build a Soul-aligned Business!
01
GAIN CLARITY ON YOUR LIFE PURPOSE/CALLING
The first step to creating your soul-aligned business is to get clear on what exactly you feel called to do.
02
RELEASE SHADOWS
The next step in creating your soul-aligned business is to address the shadows that are holding you back from starting or moving forward with parts of your business
03
ALLOW YOUR INTUITION TO GUIDE YOU
Intuition is one of my all-time favorite topics (besides stepping into your calling and the mysteries of the world).
04
CREATE A BUSINESS PLAN
You can’t start a business without some structure. Creating a business plan by setting up your ideal business goals is a must.
01
The first step to creating your soulaligned business is to get clear on what exactly you feel called to do. I don’t mean, what is everyone else doing that you may be able to turn into a business. I’m talking about, what do you find yourself dreaming of doing for a living time and time again? That is what I refer to as your calling.
A few questions you can ask yourself to gain some additional clarity include: What passion do I have that can use to help someone else? Are you’re trained in certain techniques or have a unique take/solution on challenges people face? Maybe you’re passionate about the great outdoors, if you’re skilled in outdoor living you could be a guide for campers, create video tutorials & courses, or even write a book all about how to properly prepare for an authentic outdoor camping experience. These are just a few examples of what you can offer, but when you dig into what you are passionate about and what you can teach others you’ll get a great idea on where to start. .
What do you feel drawn to do time & time again? Skills without passion don’t get you far. To continue to have a desire to create for your business you have to have a passion to back it all up, so dig deep to find what you actually feel pulled to do. Even if it seems a little impractical there’s almost always a way to make it work. You just have to get creative by allowing the ideas to flow and take some time to plan out your ideas. With a soul-aligned business, you get to do what you love and serve others! Start with what you feel really pulled to do and then write down what it would take to present it to the world! Before asking yourself, these questions do a brief meditation to allow yourself to release any tension and move into your subconscious mind. This is where your soul speaks from & will provide the answers that truly resonate with your inner being. Once you have taken time to gain clarity around what it is that you wish to start, it’s time to move to the next step.
Action Step: Create a list of all your skills, passions, hobbies, and interests. Then narrow the list down to what you feel you would enjoy doing. Once you have narrowed down the list decide specifically what products or services you can offer for the soul-aligned business you wish to create.

02
The next step in creating your soulaligned business is to address the shadows that are holding you back from starting or moving forward with parts of your business. Your shadows refer to your fears, doubts, or feelings of unworthiness. This is a very important step because when we don’t address the fears, doubts, or lack of worth that we experience, we often allow them to hold us back. We will always have and experience shadows, aka limiting beliefs, but true power comes from acknowledging them & releasing them. By bringing awareness to the issues holding us back they no longer determine what steps we do or don’t take. I’ll give you an example from my own personal experience. As an introvert, I have always struggled with visibility, from class presentations in school to doing Facebook live videos for my business. When I acknowledged that I had this fear, I was determined to do whatever I needed to do to create my business anyway. Meaning, I was not going to allow myself to be held back from something that would normally stop me dead in my tracks. It took me almost an entire year before I felt confident in doing a Facebook live. Yes, AN ENTIRE YEAR! That’s how determined I was and am. That’s the level you need to bring yourself to, to be able to create the business you envision.
Action Step: Make a list of everything you feel may be holding you back. What are your fears, what do you doubt about yourself, and what do you question you are worthy of doing. Plan to spend about 30-60 minutes in this exercise to really assess what is holding you back from your dreams, goals, and ultimately your dream life.

03
Intuition is one of my all-time favorite topics (besides stepping into your calling and the mysteries of the world). This may not seem like an important step, but it very much goes hand in hand with actually doing what calls to your soul (step 1). When you learn to follow your intuition, you don’t spend time second guessing what the right option for you is, because you already know! While it can take a little time to tune in (a few weeks to a few months), just know that allowing yourself to be guided by what feels right IS the right move. There may be situations that come up that make you think, “Damn, that felt like the right move, but things still aren’t quite right.” That’s because you are being ‘tested’ to be sure that this is what you want, or because you needed to learn a few things first. Trust me when I say that as long as you are doing what calls to you you are always moving in the right direction. Have faith in the process, surrender your control, and learn to co-create with the Universe. Check out Is that Your Intuition or Fear to gain a better understanding on this topic (https://coachalifeofdreams.com/intui tion-or-fear/). .
Action Step: Take notice when things feel a bit out of the ordinary. Notice if your immediate thought is to take a specific action step with a decision you need to make, then take notice of what you decide to actually go through with. This will allow you to become more aware of whether or not you are taking your intuition into consideration at all. Hint: if you disregard your initial gut feeling all the time or most of the time, you are not listening to your intuition. While logic has its place, our intuition is a sixth sense that provides the insight we need for a quicker and easier path to the things our soul craves..
3* . Set up your social media accounts – It doesn’t matter what kind of business you have social media is REQUIRED. This will be one of the most effective tools for your business. 5* Learn the ins & outs of your particular business – Take time to study what others in your industry are doing to see what you may need to learn. 6* Determine your unique style – Explore your own internal ideas because these are what will make you stand out in the long run.
04
You can’t start a business without some structure. Creating a business plan by setting up your ideal business goals is a must. Here’s a little breakdown on how to get started with your business plan: 1* Determine how you want to run your business (automated, passively, online, brick & mortar) & what services or products your would like to offer.
Four main steps, that’s what it takes to get started in creating your soulaligned business. With a mixture of practical steps and spiritual/inner work, you will create a business that not only comes from your soul but actually is more likely to succeed. You are more likely to put in the work for the things in life that bring you purpose and fulfillment versus just making an income.
2* Start with the big idea/goal-Is this a 1 year, 5 years, or 10-year goal? 3* Break this goal down -Take your goal & break it into smaller more manageable pieces. Break it down into a 1-year plan, then what you need to do monthly, and finally what you will need to do weekly. You’ll decide what tasks to complete on a daily basis that will be most beneficial in getting you towards your goals.
Action Step: Write out your business plan. You are meant for more. You are meant to create a business that will catalyze you and those you help.If you are feeling the call to create your own business and would like to learn more on how to uncover your purpose.

CROSS
the interview: Rebecca Cross REBECCA,
thank you so much for being our muse this month! You had multiple businesses throughout the years. In your opinion what's the number one rule to build a successful business?
Working from my heart and true passion is what has been my success in all my businesses, I need to feel the fire in my belly and focus on that to reach my goals.
REBECCA,
You had a magazine as well in the past, as a business that started it more as a necessity than passion... Now that you do what you're passionate about, can you tell us, what's the biggest difference you found between the two? Necessity vs Passion
How many businesses have you had and which one is your favorite so far? Why?
When I started my own magazine business is was something I was passionate about I thought at the time, as I knew the industry well and in the past, I dealt with huge multimillion dollar advertising campaigns when I worked at the Wall Street Journal. I had a skill and knowledge that I knew one, I could do and two I could make money from. I sold that magazine business because it was fulfilling the bank balance but not my heart and this is when I realized I just started something that was easy.
Over the last 14 years, I have had 5 businesses. My favorite is one of the two companies I build today where I intuitively guide my clients to build their own vision. I am all about change, it's my life work and I feel blessed I have found what I am supposed to do in this world.
Not what I really had a passion for. It was not making me jump out of bed every day, I was not feeling excited, it was like a job. I was just frustrated and unhappy in that business. This is when I knew I had to change so I decided to sell the business and decided to start a VA business which I ran for 5 years before moving on to the next venture.
REBECCA,
REBECCA, You work a lot with energy, NLP, Theta Healing... How did influence in your personal and business success? Awareness of my Energy and others, being a Healer, and practicing Energy Healing has changed my life. My spirituality is very important to me and I work very openly with my gifts. When I work with clients I see many things they don't and this helps me help them build the vision and change they want to see. It's building a business their way and not what everyone else says you should build a business-like. This has influenced many of the decisions I make in my own life and business and feeling confident that I am on the right path.
I always come from my heart and truth and if you can do that, you can never go wrong in my eyes :)
REBECCA,
How would you rate Mindset vs Strategies? What's more important to you?
Mindset always- Strategy will not work if you are not in the right mindset.
REBECCA,
And for anyone who's just strating their business or wants to but is still scared, what advice would you give them?
Come from your heart! I would ask what change do you want to contribute to? Don't think about the money think about the impact, as the rest will always follow.
REBECCA,
There's a lot of swearing, you tell it as it is and that's what we love about you... Do you feel that has a bad impact in your business?...Because we don't. LOL!
To be honest I swear a lot less than I ever used to haha. I am a strong believer Energy attracts Energy and I have built great wealth over the years in all areas of my life and this has come from how I think.
REBECCA,
Congratulations, you're also an International Bestselling Author... How did it feel to write and share your story with the world?
It was very scary at the time, but it was a great experience and I am grateful for the opportunity.
SPIRITUALITY & BUSINESS

ENERGY | HEALING | INVESTOR | NO1 BEST SELLING AUTHOR | SPEAKER
REBECCA,
If you could change someting about the industry nowadays, what would that be?
Social Media! There is a lot of information in the world that influences us and this can be good and unfortunately bad. Everyone has the answers within them to attract exactly what they want and we need to listen to ourselves more and not others. Social Media does not help with that sometimes and can cause more harm than good.
REBECCA,
What does the future look like for you now? Are you working on anything exciting?
The future is extremely exciting, I have just trademarked a new technique I will be talking about soon that will help many find those answers I talked about we all have within us and I will be pushing this to everyone.
Including those that are over in areas of the world that don't have the opportunities others have. This technique will be accessible for anyone as everyone should have the right to the prosperity they desire, no matter of their background, education or circumstance and this is part of my life work to make sure this happens.

a day in the life of Rebecca Cross With two companies, three children, a husband, and a cat, at times chaotic. I have days where I am loving life and days where I am needing to go for my run and meditate more than ever ha haha. I love balance and like everyone I have to work at that every day. My days are different and like everyone they are not perfect but I can promise you every day will include a coffee, lots of water a run, and meditation at some point :)

doesn't stop those thoughts, questions, or ideas from flooding our minds. The curiosities that we hold within are still very real but have no way of being expressed. So then what happens to these
Expressing one's deepest thoughts or ideas to others can be a dangerous revelation. Reactions can range anywhere from a complete dismissal of such a thought to laughing so hard that it brings tears to the eyes. All the while you’re standing there feeling defeated and questioning what it was you were thinking sharing such things. As we grow, these closed perceptions of others lead to the building of a wall or barrier as a way to protect ourselves. But this
thoughts? Do they simply disappear like vapor in the air? Or do they fester like a rotting egg, not laid on to give birth, but not cracked open to be eaten, just left unattended to? And what happens when these thoughts, these ideas, these questions, can become a defining awareness in our being? How much of one's purpose is lost in the unexpressed mind?
For years, I wandered around not truly understanding who I was or why I was here. And as a child, knowing the why of something was so important for me. I was always asking the purpose of certain actions we were told to take, or beliefs people had, or even the way others lived their lives. The need to know why was at the root of my decision making and as time went on the answers became more complex. I found myself searching for knowledge in the things or people around me. Soon, my dissatisfaction with the responses I was getting from the outside world forced me to turn my questioning inwards. Instead of constantly wondering about why someone treated me that way, I started to wonder why I allowed them to treat me that way. And unknowingly I opened up the doors to true self-discovery. Still, there was the challenge of being able to communicate these thoughts and receive the answers that I sought. Until one day, I
remembered a teacher I once had in high school. Every day when we entered her classroom there was an ambiance of Beethoven, Bach, or Mozart welcoming each of us into this space of free expression. The expression wasn’t verbal though. No. This expression came through writing. As students would file in, they would grab their notebook, settle into their seats, open to the next page, and just write. Revealing what it was their minds were focused on in the present moment. As this image played out in my head. The search for pen and paper began. Finally, all of those thoughts that lingered without utterance had a place. A place all their own. A place without judgment, censorship, or filtering. The purest form of speech. I found myself at times not being able to say anything at all. Just staring at the page waiting for something to come to my mind . Then other times there was a flood of thoughts so fierce that my hand couldn't physically keep up with its flow

HTTPS://LINKTR.EE/ASPIRINGSARAHD
10 years ago, Sarah decided enough was enough with the abuse she was dealing with in her relationship. The biggest question she found herself asking as she looked in the mirror was Why. Why did she allow for certain situations to happen in her life? Why did she stay in a relationship she was unhappy in for so long? Why?
With 9+ years of putting herself in healthy uncomfortable situations, going to events and sharing her story she is now teaching what she has learned. Through things like live coaching, public speaking, intuitive readings and a new series that will be released soon, Sarah is giving back what she can in the way she knows how. Through communication!
Since then she has been digging and building her awareness to find the answers within.
If you’re looking for coaching, strategy sessions or intuitive readings Sarah can help.
Writing became the one source where I could fully be myself for a long time. I saw no limits, no boundaries, no restrictions. I could freely show any emotion, question any thought, and explore new ideas that presented themselves to me.
3 Things Writing does for YOU,
As time went on the evolution of self became so clear. This safe space that I created with writing showed me so much. The self-confidence I gained, the responsibility I took, the boundaries I was pushing even with fear, and the love I had for life. I was no longer angry at what once was for how I could be me today without it. And what a blessing it is to feel the growth of self but to

Writing guided me through some of the darkest depths of my soul and illuminated the way forward. Writing took me on a journey, a path to

This leads to the understanding of who you are & what your purpose is.

MAGGIE GOLENIAK the ARTIST Welcome to Art From The Heart I’m Maggie, a professional artist who graduated in Fine Arts in 2006. Since then, my work has evolved into intuitive and spiritual art. My art is fully painted from the heart space. Intuitively, I choose the colors and then I go into a deep state of meditation with the brushes, opening my heart space and creating from it. It is a letting go process and each piece is unique, coming out from the depths of my soul. My art is created to carry a specific message, so if a piece resonates with you, it means it was designed for you. The colors, shapes, and titles come from my heart space, but the story it tells is yours. If you open your heart and listen to each painting, each one will tell you something.

MAKE-UP TIPS
BY RACHEL DAVIES
HOW DO I GET
FLAWLESS BASE
How can you look like you've been sun-kissed? I get these types of questions all the time. All skin cannot look flawless all the time as we all have pores. We have lines, wrinkles, acne, eczema, rosacea. It’s all perfectly normal to have and I believe all these tell a life story and actually make us grow older more gracefully. Obviously, there’s a lot of factors that can add to the amount of lines/wrinkles we accumulate in life. But I’m not here to give you a lecture or tell you what you should or should be eating / drinking / doing! I’m here to give you some quick/easy tips on how you can achieve a quick easy base with minimal effort! Which we all want... right?
How can you get that dewy glow?
MAKE-UP TIPS
BY RACHEL DAVIES
TOP TIPS
01 Skin care regime Even if you don’t use serums or masks etc, the bare minimum would be to cleanse, tone and moisture morning and night.
Reason being cleanser will remove dirt that has built up, clogging your pores. You need those pores to be clean. Even if you have worn no makeup during the day a good cleanser will make your skin not only feel and look cleaner but softer too. Toner used morning and night will refresh and invigorate the skin and a good moisturiser will leave it soft.
02 Good Primer invest in a good primer. You might be thinking well i have oily skin won’t a primer make it more oily? Nope. A primer preps your skin ready for foundation. it sinks into your pores, it makes your foundation last, stay on longer and means you use LESS foundation! Yep that’s right. So with a primer your foundation lasts longer.
You can purchase primers now that are actually mattifying that tone down the oil in your face. That are gel or powder. Allow 2 minutes to sink into your skin. You wouldn’t paint a wall without priming it first, would you? The same applies to your face.
03 The Right Foundation use a foundation that’s right for your skin. There’s so many varieties out there. There’s spray, stick, liquid, powder… the list is endless...How do you choose? You need to know your skin type is it oily, dry, sensitive, combination, average? Bit of everything? Once you’ve worked out your skin type and if you have young or mature skin you can work out what’s best.
“Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you.”
Anne Lammot
TOP TIPS
04 The Right Brush Using the right brush when applying is key! A larger brush I.e.. Liquid foundation or kabuki brush with closer bristles is great for spray foundation dot the brush ( if spray) and blend in circles until completely blended.
07 Setting Spray or Toner use a setting spray or even a toner ( if you want a dewy look) to spray across your face to keep everything in place! If you have oily skin you can use a powder with a big puff brush to lightly deep across your face!
05 Contour
06 Highlight
To contour I use a foundation stick which is a few shades darker than my foundation and concealer a shade lighter than my foundation. Contour my cheekbones, dot my forehead, jawline and nose ( if you want these to appear slimmer) and chin and concealers down nose to highlight and inbetween other bits your have contoured. Then get your kabuki brush and blend in circles and always upwards until blended!
depends if you are using powder or liquid highlighter. Powder use a fan brush ( shaped like a fan) just brush across the highest part of your cheekbones. Liquid can use fingers . I also highlight my Cupid’s bow on my lips and my nose, and finally.
Tah dah! I give you your flawless base! I hope you found this useful If you have any questions you can email me daviesdivinebeauty@hotmail.com or on Instagram @daviesdivinebeauty or Facebook @daviesdivinebeauty.

HEALTH YOUR HEALTH IS YOUR WEALTH
So, you can't concentrate and stay motivated. IS YOUR GUT TO BLAME FOR IT?
Do you have a big goal that you want to achieve this year? Maybe you desire to make more money, be part of an exciting project, lose weight, or live a healthier lifestyle. But staying focused and motivated to achieve that goal may not always be easy. One day you may feel excited to work on it, but the next day you may feel sluggish and unmotivated. If you feel distracted, you experience memory problems, or even lack of motivation, the issue may not necessarily be in your head but your gut.

SIGNS OF AN UNHEALTHY GUT
Digestive issues like diarrhea, constipation, gas or bloating Nutritional deficiencies Poor immune system Headaches, brain fog, memory loss Low energy Skin conditions like acne, eczema or rosacea Cravings for sugar or carbs Arthritis or joint pain Depression, anxiety, ADD, ADHD Autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, celiac disease or Crohn's
TIPS TO IMPROVE YOUR GUT HEALTH
1. Focus on energizing whole foods - whole foods are rich in nutrients that promote health and feed good bacteria in our gut. 2. Remove foods that you are sensitive to - some foods can trigger your immune system leading to chronic inflammation. They can also damage your gut lining. 3. Add probiotics - an imbalance in good vs. bad bacterias may promote infections and diseases. Adding good bacteria will keep the proper balance in your gut. 4. Work on your stress perception and management Stress negatively affects your digestive system, your gut microbiome as well as your brain function. 5. Get more restful sleep - your body rebuilds itself when you sleep, so getting good quality sleep is very important for the health of your whole body. 6. Add more collagen through bone broth or collagen supplements - this helps seal the gut lining and prevent undigested foods and unwanted organisms from entering the bloodstream.
Here are specific foods that may not only keep your gut health but also provide building blocks for your brain to help you with memory and focus:
