👯‍♀️💕 WORKSHOP ALERT ✨

Ready to get crafty and find
your inner magic?

💎 Join us for a unique workshop where we'll combine creativity with clarity to help you manifest your dreams. Each participant will design & create a one-of-a-kind charm necklace that tells your story & represents your biggest heart's desires.

👓 Life is the lens we decide to see through.

❤️ We can attach our own meanings and beliefs to any thing/experience/person.

Or

💔 We can let the outside world dictate to us what we “think” we should believing.

😎 It’s up to YOU!
👉 Keep in mind: It’s helpful to make choices from the focus point of what you are seeking to have in your life,
Not from a focus point of what you DON’T want.

🧡 Want to engage in some radical self- love?
Yeah?
Then start paying attention.
Like, really pay attention…
…to the small moments you witness,
…the sounds you hear,
…the scents you smell,
…the sensations you feel in various situations.

Like really pay attention.
By paying attention,
You let yourself engage with life in the most intimate of ways.
This allows your heart to open.
And once your heart is open,
Prepare for all the goodness to rush in.

I love you lots.
Xoxo,
Amanda

🚨Whoopwhoop👉 New workshop alert! 🚨
🤔Did you ever consider that it’s never really about the big dream/goal but actually ALL about who you are NOW taking you to the big dream/goal?
It’s true👉You can’t have an unhappy ending when you have a happy journey- the unfolding discoveries of your life is where the MAGIC LIVES!
❤️“BECOMING YOU: An Exploration of Self-Love & Celebration” is THE PERFECT workshop to guide you to deeper JOY in the discovery of who you are NOW and learn how this self-love in & of the present moment defines what is ahead for you.
💡🎨I call these workshops Creatively Contemplative because not only do we do the deep consciousness work, we also creatively allow our inner magic to shine bright via the making of art.
✏️…Workshop Sign-up is in bio, let me know if you have any questions. An art kit will be sent out before the workshop so go on & treat yourself to this amazing experience!
⚡️🧲⚡️The most powerful state to be in is living in a mode of appreciation of what IS. This naturally leads to an eagerness for more.. which naturally makes you a magnet for all you desire…so c’mon, it’s time to create a life you LOVE living! 🥳

❄️ While i can’t say i trust a weather report from an adorable semi-rodent, i can say this snow today in Chicago is making me want to wander through the neighborhood bundled up in deep introspection!

Drop an emoji below, Tell me:
☃️Are you Team YAY SNOW!
or
🏡 Are you Team I’M NOT LEAVING HOME TILL SPRING!

🎁 The gift in this weather is it can allow us to put aside everything we think we know and JUST BE!

📝 Journal prompts for tonight as we practice nestling in with the awe that is Mama Nature:
❄️ How would it feel simply to be satisfied with exactly where i am in my life?
❄️ How can i remain open to what is next for me while i remain present in the moment?

I’d love to hear what comes up for you when you read the above journal prompts, feel free to share with me here or privately if you’d like.

☃️ I am a TEAM SNOW today! (Gives me an excuse for a second mug o’hot chocolate!)
❤️Stay cozy & safe cutie pies, xoxo!

❤️👽❤️ The linear world we live in teaches us to forget that we have an inner GPS system (aka- our gut, intuition, inner voice) that is pretty infallible if we open ourselves up to not only listen FOR it but more importantly learn to TRUST it.

🙀Change can be scary … no doubt!
(AND it also can be pretty exciting too!)

📞Being willing to answer the call of that personal inner desire for change can take some practice indeed.
🕺Trusting your intuition as your tour guide allows you to step into that flow of change with a bit more grace & panache.
💫 Being willing to be open to the mere possibility that there is *always* something greater in store for you allows for a more joy filled experience in this lifetime.

📱Soooo… Where do YOU hear that soul phone ringing?
Are you ready to answer it?
What is ONE small teeny tiny step you can take towards the change you’re yearning for in life ?

If you’re up for it, share your thoughts below.
❤️ You know Lil’Bea and I are ALWAYS rooting for YOU!!! 😘Xoxoxo!

🪴 One more ornament from the 2021 series before we say buh-bye to the holiday season… ALWAYS BE GROWING!

🌱 The experience of life is becoming. Becoming, little by little, the most incredible version of ourselves.🌱Isn’t it amazing to think that every time we choose growth & learn/feel/think/experience something new, we are literally expanding the creation of life as we know it?!?
(🤯I get goosebumps thinking about it!)

🪴I made a (very abbreviated) list in the second slide of ways that i allow growth into my daily experience.
👉What would YOU add to the list??

❤️B I G thanks for being on this journey of becoming with me! I love each of you from my head 🍅s!

⚡️♑️⚡️ Capricorn season is HERE!!! Sending an extra long deep hug to my fellow seagoats today ❤️ and really, i am sending a giant hug to EVERYBODY cuz who doesn’t need a hug right now?!? 🤗🤗🤗

As a Capricorn, i love that the sea goat is earthy & walks land with purpose but also has the water sign attribute of not being afraid to go deeper spiritually.
🥕It make me feels balanced 🙃Kinda like the when you dip veggies in ranch dressing kind of refreshing BALANCE!

❤️So what’s your sign baby? Whatever it is, may you find balance in your day, love in your heart, & optimism through your whooooole darn body about the goodness in this new year ahead!

😘 xoxo, love you!

🪄 🐰 🎩
Tell me below what YOUR magic is?? C’mon name it… don’t be shy!

It’s not unusual for us to have blind spots about our unique strengths. Sometimes we even discount these personal attributes because these skills or talents come so easily to us!

⚡️❤️⚡️ It’s time to celebrate our unique magic by shouting it from the rooftops (or simply typing below!)
Wahoooooooo, Can’t wait to affirm YOUR greatness!

💋 Xoxo!
