WHEN YOU WANT TO ZIG BUT LIFE HAS YOU ZAG

This was meant to be my “Happy New Year!” post and in typical life coach fashion, I was planning to share the usual dose of goal setting, progress pushing inspiration.  Yay!!

2025 – It’s Our Year To Thrive!!

Then life happened… my husband’s beloved uncle passed away, my husband needed surgery, and my younger son was thousands of miles away, caught in the chaos – along with many - of the fires out at UCLA.

WHEW. 2025 is already a doozy!  

So, upon completion of my initial post that was all about becoming and embracing your “very best self”, I was left empty, confused and questioning so much of all the happy, positive vibe, Instagram worthy content I had written.

I mean, what do you do when you set your goal, when you’ve got it all lined up, all your ducks in a row, so to speak, but the Universe has something else in store?  

When you want to zig, but life has you zag?

Ah, Earth School.

It’s not for the faint of heart.

It can break you, and in this moment, I'd like to honor and acknowledge the true essence of being human… the magnificent soul that shines through even when you have not set a single resolution.

In 2024, I watched many of you do the unthinkable.

You held your children through their pain, both physical and mental; you took care of loved ones who were sick until you nearly broke yourselves; you got up and smiled in the midst of grief, even when you had no idea how you did it… you dealt with job loss and financial worry and needing to leave your homes due to extreme weather… you forgave when you wanted to fight, had faith in the midst of fear, and now, I watch stunned and in awe of the superhuman beings fighting these fires, the community coming together to help one another, and the people who have lost so much, yet find grace amongst the gravel of their homes.

Wow. We are the most badass beings in the Universe – no doubt.

It’s clear the “zag” molds us in ways we do not prefer, but somehow, it may be what we need. I pray you may be blessed to find the silver lining somehow, in the midst of your challenges. And when you are ready to "zig" again, may you be blessed to rise to heights beyond what you have imagined!

For now, as 2025 rolls on, I’m wishing you peace, ease, health, strength and whatever amazing gifts you need to get through the trials that life throws your way. You are so much more than you know.

Praying for all who are in need of comfort right now. Feel into our energetic blanket of support - there are many of us holding you up from afar.

Much love and light.
