Random Thoughts from July 2020

OMG OMG OMG ... I have literally been on PINS AND NEEDLES waiting to slide into your emails today.  EEEEEK!!!

Every single month I get emails from some of you telling me how much you LOVE getting my newsletter and it inspires me to do better, every single time.  (I love challenges too)

Here it goes ... my random thoughts, my truth bombs, the things I love, a feng shui tip of the month (seriously why was I not doing these all this time???)  and a freakin client win that I am LOSING MY SHIT EXCITED OVER.  

Grab something to drink, girl!!!  It's coffee time somewhere.  ;)

COFFEE TALK

If you've been following me this month, you'll know that I chose to delay my retirement for a bit and return to my management job.  Somehow, a return to that job (even though it's only for a short time) put a stick in my spoke.  

FUUUUUUUCK.

After being off work for so long, I had forgotten what it's like to be in so many people's energies for 8 hours a day.    All you empath's get it ... it's EXHAUSTING!

It took me a while but I finally got my shit together.  Now, I use my sage each day (sometimes several times) and I meditate every after work for a few minutes - sometimes a lot longer.

I just realized that I don't deserve to be exhausted ... I deserve healthy, happy, abundant, grounded, aligned and refreshed ... and luckily, a quick sourcing meditation will do that!!!  Want to know more about sourcing meditations???  Send me a quick reply to this email - I LOVE telling people about them!!!





FENG SHUI TIP OF THE MONTH

If you've been following me this month ... you know that I received an additional 20 thousand dollars, as a result of upgrading my wallet and starting a visualization practice.  (All day long I literally just imagine money falling to me, in all different amounts and from all different directions).

Well get this ... I've been adding in a few more of the quirkier feng shui cures and the money. just. keeps. coming!!!

- our investments have been skyrocketing ... it's almost unbelievable

- we went to obtain condo insurance on our new residence and in doing so, we found out that because we were claim-free on our current home for over 9 years, we qualified for a cheaper premium. What happened???  We somehow are now paying LESS insurance for two properties than we had for just one.  

- I got a free bag of dog food ($100 worth) this week

- my husband got $20 off of pizza this week because he's a firefighter!

- we found the most beautiful car for my daughter for the most insane price EVER!!!  

- I had a $320 session with my therapist (I think it's important to keep on top of your mental health ... no shame!) and she only charged me $150!!!

- we got a SMOKIN deal on a car for our daughter

- I'm sure there's more ... I've just forgot.

The money luck has been CRAZY but this is what I want you to know.  Life can change in an instant ... in a wallet ... in what you visualize.  Paying attention to all the little things is the key though.  The free bag of dog food was JUST as celebrated by us as the bigger things.

A Few Fun Tips:  

- honour your money vessels!!!  The Universe will not send you more, if you do not honour the money that you have.  Clean your purse, keep it uncluttered, replace it when it is worn, always keep money in your wallet

- focus on visualizing money floating to you

- stay high vibe and positive as possible, for as long as possible

- celebrate every quarter found, every free cup of coffee and every discount you receive!

This shit works and I've got a thousand examples of it and TONS of feng shui tips for you still.

COOL SHIT I LOVE:

This month I hit a big milestone in my business and if you watched a recent video I had done you will know that I really love to celebrate milestones, client successes and goals achieved with a "thing" ... something that will anchor in that feeling, so that I can access it when I want (or need) to!

One of the things I chose was this stone jewelry from Kinsley Armelle.  Have you heard of them?  

I was most intrigued by the AGATE (shown here - the larger flat stone) and the DRUZY jewelry.  The Agate are one-of-a-kind and made from layers of quartz.  The middle of mine is actually clear quartz (considered a master healer) and it's completely see through!  Druzy stones look like teeny little crystals all formed together.  They glitter and are beautiful but wearing them helps to promote relaxation and stress relief!  I actually purchased a Druzy keychain for my daughter for her 16th birthday ... soooo pretty.

They come in these nice tins!

These ones I bought in large but they are a bit bigger than the white ones ... I think I like them a bit bigger than tight, so I will buy more large ones in the future.

They have monthly box subscriptions of their most popular items or just one time purchases.  You can also choose to be a brand ambassador or  become an independent distributor if you'd like to make some money while promoting the products!

If you're interested or just like the jewelry like me ... check out this gift from me for referring you ... it's 15% off your first purchase!

WHAT (or who) INSPIRES ME:

If you are a facebook friend of mine, you'll know that I reposted something by a dyslexic woman I know.  She was repeatedly told by teachers that she was sloppy, stupid and any number of things.  She didn't give up though.

In University, she was finally diagnosed with two learning disabilities.  She received accommodations for her learning disabilities. Two months ago she graduated in the top 10% of her class from the University of California, Berkeley, the #1 public university in the world. She was awarded High Honours in general scholarship, Honours for her honours thesis, and was awarded the first ever Community Prize from her department, Classics at UC Berkeley.  In addition though, she has held multiple internships, was a NASA Aerospace Scholar, was a research apprentice on campus for two years, studied Latin and Middle Egyptian (Hieroglyphs), received 4 A+s, was the president of a club, and presented her research at a national conference in Washington, DC. 

To me (Tessa) is such an incredible example of grit and determination and I personally believe that its the GRIT ... that determines success.

CLIENT SHOWCASE:

OK .. the moment I've been waiting for ... I FINALLY get to release it to the world!!!

I AM SO FREAKIN EXCITED FOR MELANIE DIAMOND!!!

She had signed up for a breakthrough clarity call with me to gain some focus on her business.  She has a TON of trainings in different alternative modalities, is an essential oils rep and like most people ... that multi-talent can lead to confusion as to which way to turn or focus in her business.  

When we met in mid-May, I kept hearing "products, products, products" in my head ... over and over and over again.  Sometimes clairaudience is like that little bird chirping in your ear till you acknowledge it lol.  More than that though, I had a VERY clear vision of her creating products and having them displayed in a store.  

Six weeks later??? HER PRODUCTS ARE IN STORES!!

If you live near Cold Lake or Jasper Alberta you MUST check out Puur Athletics.  They feature local artistans and love to celebrate quality and natural fibres and ethical companies.   

Check out PURR ATHLETICS here

Melanie wants to inspire people to see nature differently ... to understand that there are SO MANY healing properties naturally occurring on the earth and her products are raved about already!!!  She hand picks the items from her land and she infuses all of her products with love and the intention of healing.  AHHHH I'm obsessed with what she has created.

Knock Me Out Nettle Sleep Balm:  Chamomile and Stinging Nettle infused oil, magnesium chloride and beeswax, a blend of young Living Essential oils.  People are RAVING about this one in trial phase and I'm PRETTY SURE everyone on my Christmas list is getting this (shhhh don't tell them).

Birching' Bones Arthritis Blend:  A blend of infused oil with birch and stinging nettle - both great for arthritis, local beeswax, magnesium chloride and a blend of Young Living Essential Oils.  Stinging Nettle ... hand picked from her land.  Crazy hey?  How many times do we just think that it's a weed that is hurtful???  Apparently NOT!

Pine Away Muscle Balm:  Pine infused oil with local beeswax, magnesium chloride, and young living essential oils. This is the Wild Diamonds version of “tiger balm”

Hand-crafted soaps and OMG I freaking LOVE THEM ALL.  These take 5 weeks to cure but again ... all natural.  Do you see the one in the middle with the yellow on top???  Calendula flowers, hand picked from her land.  There's just something pretty fuckin special about that, don't you think???

Exclusive to Puur Athletics!! Calendula lotion bar - oil infused with calendula flowers, local beeswax, Shea butter, and a special blend of Young Living Oils.  This one is SOOOO pretty ... I kinda wanna just buy it and keep it to look at.  lol

OK I've maybe raved enough ... maybe ... BUT I'M SO FUCKING EXCITED FOR HER!!!

Head to Purr Athletics and support our girl if you live near Cold Lake or Jasper or join her free facebook group to learn more about the wonders of nature and how you can heal yourself naturally or keep yourself healthy in a variety of ways.

Join: Melanie's Apothecary

p.s. wanna know what ELSE is cool????  The same day that her products were placed in PUUR ATHLETICS another store in Saskatchewan contacted her!!!!  

Lesson:  when you step into your special brand of magic ... the Universe begins to respond with most incredible gifts.  

WHAT'S COMIN UP?

The UNSTUCK group has been growing by leaps and bounds!!!  For those of you who aren't aware ... the group is at over 400 people now and all of them either joined on their own after finding me on-line OR was invited by friends who loved the group.

I LOVE that it is growing naturally through referrals and I'm so thankful to each and every one of you who have joined, who have spoken highly of me and invited your friends who would benefit from the group as well.   I truly do celebrate every single person who has joined and the minute they do, I take a moment to send healing energy to that person as well.  

One of the things that I have been noticing is that so many of you are answering the membership questions and telling me that you are wanting help with career/life path.  I GOT YOU COVERED!!!

In the Make It Happen Membership I have a whole training series on Finding your Souls Path (or your Ikigai).  I'm so proud of this series and I'm ridiculously in love with the workbook.  

In addition though, some of you have told me that you want to make more money in your businesses.  I GOT YOU COVERED THERE TOO!!  When you join the Make It Happen Membership you will get access to this course FOR FREE (worth $697) FOR FREE called "Stand Out with your Brand Out".  This course helps you stand out on line and ATTRACT your soulmate client, without having to chase her.  Wouldn't it be nice to just show up on line and have people reaching out to you who want what you have to offer????

Have you joined yet?    $44 a month ... feng shui magic never seen before, business videos, a whole branding course (no ... it's not colours and fonts), meditations ... it's the group that's got it all.   ;)

TASTY, HEALTHY SHIT:

This is one of my fave salads and I lost the recipe for a few years but I TOLD you my intuition was on fire lately so as it turns out ... when you lose something, all you gotta do is ask for some assistance from above and VOILA!!  RECIPE FOUND.

Even if you don't love vegan recipes.

Even if you don't love zucchini noodles.

You're gonna love this recipe.

RAD RAINBOW RAW PAD THAI (from Oh She Glows)

Yield: 2 large servings + scant 2/3 cup dressing  (I double this recipe!!!)

• 1 medium zucchini, julienned or spiraled
• 2 large carrots, julienned
• 1 red pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 cup thinly sliced red cabbage
• 3/4 cup frozen edamame, thawed (or try tofu)
• 3 green onions, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon hemp seeds
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
• 1 garlic clove
• 1/4 cup raw almond butter (or try peanut butter)
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium tamari
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2.5 teaspoons pure maple syrup (or other sweetener)
• 1/2 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger

1. Prep vegetables. Add the zucchini, carrots, pepper, and cabbage into one or two large bowls. Toss with hands to combine.

2. Prepare the dressing by processing all dressing ingredients in a mini processor (or simply whisk by hand). The dressing may seem a bit thin at first, but it thickens as it sits.

3. Top bowls with edamame (or tofu), green onion, hemp seeds, and sesame seeds. Pour on dressing and enjoy!

*NOTE:  I like to serve the salad with dressing on the side and then toss it at the table.  It doesn't look nearly as pretty when the dressing is added!   If you're not going for a Vegan dish tonight, feel free to add some grilled chicken or shrimp ... I think both of those would be brilliant with this salad.

Well that's it for this month of random thoughts!!
