So here I was, with everything I’d been working a major manifestation spell to create. I had a husband who adored me. Financial security.

A big, beautiful house. A lush lawn with chipmunks, bunnies, deer, hawks, songbirds I’d never seen—it’s like a Disney movie out there.

SO WHY DID I FEEL SO OUT OF BALANCE?

First, there was the normal energetic letdown after reaching a new level. When you get what you really, really want there’s a drop after the initial rush. You’ve made it—now what?

The “what,” is, you adjust. You expand your energy. You get bigger and flow into the new space available for you. And then you expand again.

When I was ready, I realized that I was in the perfect place for me. Witches have always lived on the edges, between the village and the wild. What are the suburbs, if not that modern edge?

I also was in the perfect place to start the coaching business I’d wanted for years. I just didn’t know how to tell people what I had to offer that was different. Or would anyone even want it? Seemed like the other coaches and healers were light and fluffy as marshmallow clouds. All Glinda, with pink netting and silver sequins.

I’m blonde and l like pink and glitter—but I knew I was grittier than Glinda, saucier than Samantha.

My craft is edgier and based on results, not just talk of being high-vibe.

Our solid bodies are energy. Our nervous systems run on electrical energy. We’re surrounded by the energy fields of our souls and connected to the energy fields of the Universal realms.

It’s fun to play in those upper regions, or communicate with spirit. But that’s not where we live. We came here to have bodies and experiences we can only have as physical beings.

Like jacuzzi baths, and chocolate, and sex. Why would I want to give up any of that? And why would I want to disrespect the beautiful, solid form I’m living in by calling it a “meat suit,” or saying I’m just a soul trapped here in this body, exiled from my true home?

If it’s such a shitty experience, why would we reincarnate?

We’re here to discover why we’re here. And then act on it. We each have a purpose. Sometimes it’s hard to figure it out.
