Celebrating Milestones and New Possibilities
Last week was my birthday, and as is my new tradition here in DC, I celebrated by visiting the Smithsonian Zoo (those meerkats always crack me up!).
This week I’m writing you from my mom’s home in southern Utah, where I’m helping her after she fell, hit her head, and then spent 3 days on the floor because she was unable to get up or reach her phone. A friend, after calling for 3 days with no answer, finally got my brother’s number and called him. (He is so good to look out for her, was just there the night before she fell, in addition he had company that week).
As soon as he got the call, he and his wife ran right over, and after an ambulance ride, a week’s hospital stay, plus 2 weeks in a rehab center, my little mama is home safe and sound.
And yes, she is now willing to wear a medical-alert necklace. (We got her a google-voice last year but she unhooked it because it creeped her out. She was afraid ‘he’ was listening to her.)
Here’s the thing…
I had no idea my little ‘mamacita’ (who is nearly 90 years old) was so popular! She’s lived in the same small town and attended the the same church congregation for 55 years, plus worked at a local bank for 25 years, so yes, she knows a lot of people!
While in the hospital, she received numerous phone calls daily, including Marco Polo videos from her kids and grandkids, and get this – she had 18 ( ! ) friends visit while in the rehab center! And now at home there have been so many friends stopping by bringing fresh-baked bread, tapioca pudding, homemade chocolate treats, etc.
And the phone calls are non-stop with people checking in on her. Word spreads fast around here apparently.
I mean…I know a lot of people, but I really don’t think I’d get 18 people visiting me in-between physical therapy appointments, and then phone calls and visitors all day, every day as I recovered at home. (Would I even want that? Hmm…probably not.)
But I get it…many of these friends are around her same age so they don’t text…they call or come and visit in person.
That’s how their generation does it. And it’s a wonderful thing.
I was reminded about two important lessons this week:
1) Be a good friend like my mom has been to so many people over the years. The acts of service that you send out come back to you.
2) There is power in doing work that you love that also gives you flexibility. I wouldn’t have had the luxury to quickly jump on a plane and travel across the country to help my little mama when needed had it not been for entrepreneurship.
I love running my own business and the time and money freedom to be able to still do everything I need to from here. With internet and phones I can take care of mamacita and I still get to love on my clients too.
And you know what?
That’s why I teach SimplyAlign. Along with all the innovative ways you can use the science of energy work, I also teach my students how to give service AND how to build a business that can travel wherever they do.
If YOU are ready to have time and money freedom through doing meaningful work that LIGHTS you up

Let’s face it, it’s so easy to get caught up in the everyday hustle and lose sight of the big picture. When we’re not clear on what we want, it’s
‘Hope you’re soaking up some beautiful vibes today! I’ve been hanging out in sunny California for a few weeks, spending some precious time with my granddaughters and lending a hand
Have you ever caught yourself not saying what you really think, maybe because it felt too uncomfortable? Or found yourself hinting at what you mean, but not really being direct,
