 Dear Niki,

We am so proud of all that you have accomplished and contributed to our humanity.  I am glad you had the courage to step back into the Academic Community to feed your mind and nourish your soul.  It was not an easy undertaking considering working full time and going to grad school full time. The trips to San Francisco for in class sessions and navigating a presence on the job.  Investing in your relationship and making sure that you could be present with your family.  I am so excited about what you have created that will be of service to humanity in terms of us being more intentionally and thoughtfully communicative with each other. 

You of all people in the professions that you have dedicated yourself, to both in law enforcement and the United States Coast Guard, you have witnessed first-hand that the tools of effective communication can be a matter of life or death.  You are now in a position that you are moving into the next chapter of your life and this experience in grad school has been a step in the right direction.  This project of yours will blow up on a global level and to think this is only the beginning.  I am proud to announce that you have now been excepted to the Academy of Art, in San Francisco, and will be pursuing a “Master of Fine Arts degree in “Photography”.  We as a family have so been waiting for you to show the world the gifts you carry in the arts. 

Loving you always and forever- your Mommie and Family

 

Accolades For Leilani-

Master of Art -Ph.D. Degree In Depth Psychology

With an Emphasis in Community Liberation, Indigenous and Eco Psychologies

Pacifica Graduate Institute- May -2026

Dear Lei,

We are so proud of you Leilani for following the calling of your “Spirit”.  You had an intuition that this degree was to be a steppingstone on your journey to fulfill your “Divined Purpose and Destiny”.  You had the insight to know that this work would bring into fruition a pathway on which you were able to not only research and polish your natural spiritual tools or gifts, but that what you had to contribute to that academic community would bring into play a sense of making people deal with aspects of their life experience that had close them off from “Spirit”. 

 

You found your voice and your voice found you.  Managing work full time, motherhood to three amazing children, a husband that showed up as a partner, and going to grad school full time was an amazing feat.  But as God would have it, the beautiful loving relationship you have with your mother, supported your courage, tenacity and determination to meet each challenge the institution failed at, only strengthened you for doing what is ultimately God’s will for your life. 

By this time next year, you will have completed the entire program and graduated with your doctorate degree.  In the meantime, congratulations on the completion of your master’s degree and stay the course.  Loving you always and forever- Your Family

 So Ladies-

P.S. I just want to tell your ladies that all your ancestors and elders are standing in prayer for you.  We know you and we see you.  We will always be there to love you, protect you, and guide you.  There is a whole of dancing going on in Heaven and in LA today!

 P.P.S.S.

Thanks for going to schools in Santa Barbara and San Francisco cause we have had a ball being on the trail with you guys!!!  Our trips have been great!!

#7 -A Thought 4 Saturday To Carry You Through This Beautiful Day!  A Liitle More “Time In” is Called For-

Each Day In Your Life is Unique!

***For translation of the text: touch the Blue Globe on the top right-hand corner

Saturday is a day of rest not inactivity.  What we learn from the essence of what Saturday provides for us is what might seem to be a day without movement is actually a day of integration.  This really fits into the reality of our lives because this is the day, Saturday, that we balance our efforts to wrap of the essentials that keep our lives functioning in a way that supports our daily lives.  At the same time, we have to integrate our own personal need for a “Time in” to recapture what we need to restore our physicality, emotional wellbeing, cognitive respite, and spiritual alignment. 

The beauty of this day is that we have the option of balancing rest and still engage in activities of our choice.  The point is this is a day that we have the opportunity of consciously decide what we will or will not do.  We set the agenda and we set the timeline for what we want to do, and when we want to do it. Don’t forget we cultivated our sacred space where we go to catch our breath and regroup.

 It is not healthy to be “ON” 24/7!  Saturday, yes today, is calling us to take a “Time In”, and evaluate exactly what our “Soul expression” is in need of and then to put into action a “Master Plan” to meet those needs.  Do something fun today that lightens your soul and puts a smile on your heart.  Surround yourself with, if you so choose to, with people that ignite joy and contentment in your spirit.  

  Give yourself a chance to be a fun person to be around too.  You are asking me where are you supposed to find that fun person to express?  I will share a little secret with you that is perhaps buried deep in your memories!  That fun person was that little person that you were in your early childhood.  It was uninhibited and free flowing.  Even though life might have caused you to withhold that sense of pure unabashed joy, it is still there to unfold and take out of hiding.  Yep, that’s the kind of work we do in our “Sacred Space” today! Enjoy!

So, breathe deeply! Close your eyes and visualize something that brings you back into homeostasis with your soul expression.  May today bring you a sense of peace, joy, and moments of feeling loved and validated for who you are and what you are gifting humanity.

Ashé! Have a Blessed Day!

#6 -A Thought 4 Sunday To Carry You Through This Beautiful Day!  “This Little Light Of Mine, I’m Gonna Let It Shine”!

#6 -A Thought 4 Sunday To Carry You Through This Beautiful Day!  “This Little Light Of Mine, I’m Gonna Let It Shine”!

Each Day In Your Life is Unique!

***For translation of the text of the blog: touch the Blue Globe on the top right-hand corner.

Sunday is the day week where we can allow light to touch what has been wearing heavy in our mind, heart, and soul.   This is the “Letting God Gift” that Sunday provides for us.  It is an opportunity to stop and reflect on what has been laying heavily in our psyche, impacting our heart, which weighs in on our physicality, and then disrupts the joy and peace that our soul holds that grounds our purpose and identity deserve.

 We are light beings and when the woes of the world try to diminish that light, we are in a fight or flight modality of existence.  WE were not created to live in constant despair and chaos.   We were not meant to live in shadows and let things that like us to feel we are powerless, to inhabit the domains of our life-mind-body-emotions-spirit. 

Our essence belongs to only “Our Creator” and “US”.   We don’t just survive living and radiating in “Light”- we thrive when we allow “Light” to permeate every aspect of our being.  This “Light” is sacred and accessible when we acknowledge that it is who we are and the power it has to bring us back into homeostasis with our divinity. 

 When we live in that “Light”, when we walk in that “Light”, when we express ourselves through that “Light”, because we think and respond in that “Light”, we are more ourselves and things that try to overcome that “Light” that glows within us, as the elders have said- “WE shall not be moved”! 

When I would drop my daughter Niki off for school as a child my parting words for her was always, “Don’t let anyone rain on your parade or cast shadows on your light.  Radiate from the inside out, and make this day be a day of joy because you are loved”.   Well, you know mothers know, and up to this day, I will text Niki and recite our little phase to make sure she holds steadfast to her light! 

 So as you reflect on the things that are on your heart, mind, and soul, today, “Let go and let your light which comes from “The Light of the Creator”, so shine within you, that the things that were weighing you down and burdening you, become weightless and insignificant because as is all things in your life you are covered by the “Light” which is always handling things in “Divine right order”!

So, breathe deeply! Close your eyes and visualize something that brings you back into homeostasis with your soul expression.  May today bring you a sense of peace, joy, and moments of feeling loved and validated for who you are and what you are gifting humanity.

Ashé! Have a Blessed Day!

#2 -A Thought 4 Monday To Carry You Through This Beautiful Day!

#2 -A Thought 4 Monday To Carry You Through This Beautiful Day!

Each Day In Your Life is Unique!

Monday as a day for “Attunement” and finding a sense of “harmony and transformation” as we move through Monday which sets the pace and quality of our lives.  Oh, what a great opportunity this day provides for us.  What a great way to start our week.  If it is our intention to operate in a space of harmony so that we are in alignment with all that is positive and life giving in our day, we come through the day at peace and not exhausted from having to fight endless battles of discord that are constantly trying to engage us in “foolishness”!

We don’t have time to be distracted or taken out of our joy and peace.  We are the light that transforms the dark.  We are the transformers that are busy bringing wholeness and a sense of harmony in this world that is upside down and inside out. We are intentional about living a life worth living because we know ultimately, we are not doing this alone.  There is more that we can see.  There is more that we can hear.  There is always more truth and knowledge to seek that supports the beauty and grace of the fabric of our lives. 

Take today, this Monday, to set the pace of your week.  Have a good day and know that you are being blessed in some way no matter what might come your way. 

So, breathe deeply! Close your eyes and visualize something that brings you back into homeostasis with your soul expression.  May today bring you a sense of peace, joy, and moments of feeling loved and validated for who you are and what you are gifting humanity.

Go Gently! Breathe  Deeply!

Ashé! Have a Blessed Day!

#2 A Thought 4 Saturday To Carry You Through This Beautiful Day!

#2 A Thought 4 Saturday To Carry You Through This Beautiful Day!

                   Each Day In Your Life is Unique!

Saturday is spiritually connected with the energies of completion and wisdom.  Saturday asks us to release what can be unburdened so that our soul can find rest.  This can be the most amazing day if you use it thoughtfully and wisely.  It can offer you whatever your heart desires to manifest for your wellbeing if you decide to make yourself a priority today!  Can you even imagine the peace and joy you can create for yourself today.  Even if you are still engaged in your “Work Week”, you can consciously make space to release and let go. 

 If that seems too difficult for you to balance, then take whatever day you have the least amount of obligations and infuse the “Saturday Vibration” into how you want to regain your vitality and restore your “Spirit”.  You are entitled to unburden your soul, mind and body from the “Worldly Drama” that tries to consume our lives.  This is your life experience that you were destined to evolve through, and you cannot control the whole story, but there are elements that you do have control over. 

Today you can survey how you utilize this day of restoration, and evaluate what are the elements that you want to have dominion over.  Do It!  Do You! Be your space of caring, loving and honoring who you are and what you need in life that really sustains who you are authentically.  Rest!  Restore! Renew your “Spirit”!

So, breathe deeply! Close your eyes and visualize something that brings you back into homeostasis with your soul expression.  May today bring you a sense of peace, joy, and moments of feeling loved and validated for who you are and what you are gifting humanity.

Ashé! Have a Blessed Day!

A Thought 4 Sunday To Carry You Through This Beautiful Day! #1

Each Day In Your Life is Unique!

Sunday provides a resurrection energy for our daily life experiences.  Sunday holds the space that allows us to integrate what makes sense and is important to us and for us from what we have lived throughout the week.  Sunday provides us the opportunity to return to the “Source” from which we were created.  So today we breathe deeply and relish the beauty of this day and all the possibilities it is holding for our wellbeing.

 

So, I invite you to breathe deeply! Close your eyes and visualize something that brings you back into homeostasis with your soul expression.  May today bring you a sense of peace, joy, and moments of feeling loved and validated for who you are and what you are gifting humanity.

A Thought 4 Saturday To Carry You Through This Beautiful Day! #1

Each Day In Your Life is Unique!

Saturday is spiritually connected with the energies of completion and wisdom.  Saturday can be lived as a day of discernment and mercy towards us. It is an opportunity to feel a real sense of relief and freedom.  Saturday is what I call my “Freedom Day”.  A day of relaxation and not having to be “ON” and attending to things that can be incorporated during my “Work Week”.

It’s my self-imposed “Time Out” and “Time In” at the same time. 

 

So, breathe deeply! Close your eyes and visualize something that brings you back into homeostasis with your soul expression.  May today bring you a sense of peace, joy, and moments of feeling loved and validated for who you are and what you are gifting humanity.

Ashé! Have a Blessed Day!

A Thought 4 Thursday To Carry You Through This Beautiful Day! #1

A Thought 4 Thursday To Carry You Through This Beautiful Day!

                        Each Day In Your Life is Unique!

Thursday calls us to relate from a soul level as we move and live through the day. I get a sense that Thursday carries an extra weight and grace in our actions on Thursday is important.   This is a day that we can respond instinctually from a space of gratitude knowing that faith is manifested not just in the visible but in the invisible.  Live your life in “Faith” that sustains your life and the quality of your life.

 So, breathe deeply! Close your eyes and visualize something that brings you back into homeostasis with your soul expression.  May today bring you a sense of peace, joy, and moments of feeling loved and validated for who you are and what you are gifting humanity.

Wednesday Morning Blessings #1 Wednesday- A Day in Our Life That Calls Us to Remember Our Truth-

Wednesday Morning Blessings #1-

Wednesday-A Day in Our Life That Calls Us to Remember Our Truth, Stand in the Power of Our Wisdom, and Communicate With Others Grounded in Our Authenticity.

    You are More Than Enough!

So often in life we get into situations where we hold back from expressing the truths and wisdom we have to offer and that stifles our soul essence from fulfilling its purpose, beauty, and gifts.  Human being operate out of so much fear of being wrong or not “enough” and amnesia sets in as a defense mechanism to protect us emotionally.  We are totally oblivious of what power we have spiritually and how when operating on this earthly plane if we but allow ourselves the opportunity to tune into who we are in our “Divined Identity”, and operate in the world through our “Divined Purpose”, not only would we be whole, healthy, and happy, we would be that agent of change that would surface to make life more valuable and beautiful for others. 

 

Our “Creator” did not breathe life into us, fill us with the “Holy Spirit”, and garnish us with unlimited gifts to bless our life and the lives of others without a “Master Plan” and an “Intention” for our life. We are expected to be our authentic selves, because in doing so we can let go of fear and awaken from the amnesia that has restricted us and held us back from living a full and joy filled life.  Be confident in what you have to give humanity!  Be confident in expressing the light that you are! Relish all the moments that you have shared your truth and wisdom, because in doing so you are fulfilling the Creators dream for your life!

 

A Conversation in My Head-#12

Wednesday Is Not A Day Of Woe! Wednesday Is a Day of Expressing Your Wisdom and Communicating in the World With A Sacred Essence. 

When “Spirit” Speaks, I “Listen and Do”!

Wednesday is the “Bridge Day”!  It is the day that holds the week in balance.  Wednesday calls us to be thoughtful and sensitive to our feelings and the feelings of others.

Wednesday calls us to be open to speaking our truth and our ideas and in return listening to others as they also need to be honored in doing the same.

Wednesday calls us to rely on and be open to knowing what we know intuitively and at the same time be open to learning what we don’t know yet.

Wednesday provides the space for reflection before reaction to our life experiences.

Wednesday provides the space for us to see the meaning in our thinking and feelings as we move through the day.

 Wednesday provides the opportunity for us to seek out thoughtful and purposeful conversations.

Wednesday provides the encounters for us to teach and learn in multi-generational situations both intentional and by divine design.

 Wednesday is more than the “Bridge”, it is the “Pause” in both time and space that provides us quiet guidance from within. 

Wednesday is a day in which we must seek the silent moments that will provide the clarity and understanding of who we are in this script that humanity is engaged in and how we can best serve others, and at the same time care for our own wellbeing.  

Wednesday is our “Reset” day that provides us with endless opportunities.

May every exchange and experience you have today bring you closer to revelation of understanding, connections, and abiding peace.

Thank you for listening and for sharing this sacred space with me. 

May you carry what serves you, released what does not, and move forward wrapped in grace, clarity, and compassion.

Go Gently! Breathe
