Lighten-UP!
Changes-Challenges-choosing a New Direction !

Lighten-UP!l began for Me when....  a Horse rolled over on top of me almost 20 years ago. I couldn't walk, reach to itch my thigh, wash my hair by myself, get into a bath tub, drive a car. I couldn't turn to look over my shoulder... at all. Stand to make my dinner, walk without a walker.     

I began Realizing that deep in the soul is everything we need to know. Being happy is the inner compass... take note of JOY when it happens.  That is the direction to choose...more 
Life is messy... We come into this life forgetting what we know. How we live and what we choose help us remember.

As luck would have it ...This phrase always says to me the Universe is always working in my favor-FYI! I found my way to doing what I love!   I  never thought my career would be a Wedding Ceremony Creator & Officiant. Now retired.
Inspirational Speaker to 'Lighten UP!' was in  Helping families as a Life Celebrant create their ceremony to Celebrate their Loved One's Life... their way.  For Me when Public speaking  I feel calm when I am in front of people. Sure, I am nervous beforehand... but then I just listen to my heart an  it's all good. 

''Lighten UP!" is a reminder to take a chill pill.  You've got this.   For Me and Everyone.

                           
My Children & Grandchildren are my best teachers. They remind me to  'Lighten UP!'  Play MORE. To be in the moment...more.

We all began with Baby Steps We learned to crawl... walk... then run. Everyone's timing is UNIQUE!  Begin something new with baby steps.  Pay more attention, like children do...  choose what is fun automatically :) 

  'Lighten-UP!' makes Living Life flow with more ease and to have more fun!

​
Now... Mom, Grandma, Inspirational Speaker,  retired Officiant of 21 years. I love golf... not great at it... But love it still :)  Ride my bike, jump rope a little, shoot baskets some. The Point for me is to keep moving so I can stay young and keep up with my family and to Be as healthy as possible for my family and in my life  ...  to live my best life.

 'Lighten UP!  
'SEE' Your Way! Clearly
Conversations and meeting people!

 Many times throughout my life change and challenge seemed overwhelming and unfair. After a serious horseback riding accidents with many injuries I realized that healing is  Mind.Body & Spirit   working together. Of course that is how it always was... I just didn't 'SEE' it.
Being a single Mom, injuries from a horseback riding accident with 3 months stuck in my house. I had to and needed to accept help. Funny how things work.. literally taking One small step at a time took new meaning. Which began another   fresh starts and new beginning.

 
I do love to laugh outloud!    It Helps Me 'Lighten-UP!' immediately!! 'Lighten UP!'  is feeling more Yourself and Discovering more of Yourself.
  
    My favorite and best compliments  
 Everything was so personal. We laughed and we cried. This tells me that 'WE' got to Your Heart of Hearts.
Magic Happened :)!!

           This is   'Lighten UP!'
