Day 8: Thank you! Exercising gratitude and curiosity Good day. I want to thank you for taking the time to work with yourself, Nature, and Spirit these last 7 days. My personal goal in the work I do is to have folks connected to themselves which in turn connects them to nature, Source, the Universe, Spirit, Angels, Ancestors, Guides, and the like. I hope the journey exercises will keep you curious to venture more into nature and how with the help of our beautiful earth and

Day 7: All Together Now Exercising all the senses and clairs Good day! Day 7 of the Wild Intuition Journey is here. For the last day we are working on everything, all the senses and all the clairs! This is the first time during the challenge that you will intentionally connect with all your senses and clairs. This is exciting as you will be able to really see which clairs you use more than the others. So without further ado, get outside and find a peaceful spot once aga

Day 6 Challenge ~ Knowing the Animals Exercising Claircognizance (clear knowing) Today we are exercising my strongest clair ~ claircognizance. This is how I received mostly all my information; through a clear and trusting knowing of something. All my other clairs work in tandem with my clearing knowing. For example, I might see spirit in my mind’s eye, but I don’t see colors, features, etc. but I know what they are and can describe it all to you. I’m excited for this exer

Day 4 Challenge ~ Wilderness Scent Exercising Clairalience (clear smelling) Yesterday was tasting so today of course is smelling. So get those noses ready for an experience! Today as you get outside and into the environment, explore different natural scents. Stop and smell the roses and other flowers, find some herbs to sniff or rub their leaves to release their scent like basil or thyme, grab a handful of soil and inhale, or stop by some trees that have sweet gum seed po

Day 3 Challenge ~ Savoring the Outdoors Exercising Clairgustance (clear tasting) Today’s challenge might sound a bit unusual, and I urge caution as you go about it. Always use good judgement. Please don’t go licking things you are not supposed to or chopping on things that might turn you into toads or winged creatures! Today nature is urging you to taste various natural items such as fruits, vegetables, herbs, and flowers. Remember to ensure they are safe to taste/consume

Day 2 Challenge ~ Nature’s Symphony Exercising Clairaudience (clear hearing) Good day! How did your seeing go yesterday? I want to borrow from one of my favorite shows growing up, The Bionic Woman. Never mind her super strong arm or her ability to run up to 60 mph, I wanted her hearing! For today, if you haven’t guessed already, I want us to exercise our clear hearing. Again, get outside and find a peaceful area and sit comfortably. Close your eyes and connect again with the

Day 1 Challenge ~ Visualizing Nature's Details Exercising Clairvoyance (clear seeing) Let’s start off the challenge with some visualization! Find a peaceful outdoor spot and sit comfortably. Close your eyes and connect with the earth. Visualize your energy connecting to the earth’s energy. See the energy in your mind’s eye. See the energies blend together. Keep the visualization going as it anchors and aligns you. Once connected, sit with it for a bit. From here, start to vis

I'm a little late in getting this posting on the website blog but better late than never! In honor of my Grandma Jeanette’s birthday tomorrow, July 9, I offer you all an opportunity to challenge yourself using nature and your intuition. For the next 7 days, I will be posting a daily challenge that will stimulate your senses and exercise how you receive your intuitive guidance with the help of the fauna and flora of nature. I ask that you connect with yourself and nature on a

Final Day ~ Day 21 ~ July 29, 2023 Welcome to the final day of the Awaken in the Present: Embrace the Now Challenge. I don’t know about all of you, but I’ve had a blast with this challenge. It has been a pleasure to connect with you each day! I have experienced this challenge on a new level; what being in the present means to me today. I have also come to see where I started to where I am today. I’ve been consciously living in the present for many years now and I can say that

Day 20 ~ July 28, 2023 Happy Friday! We are on Day 20 of the challenge. Today I want to talk about Setting Goals! One would think that goal setting is counterintuitive to staying in the present. Being present in the moment is not about having no concerns about or interest in the future. So how do we balance setting goals and working toward them with being present? Goals can and should be specific, measurable, and attainable. Ideally, they should involve clear steps that you c

Day 19 ~ July 27, 2023 Good day all. We are almost at the end of our 21-day journey on embracing the present! Today is Day 19 and for today the challenge is daring us to Have a Cup of Tea! Well, it doesn’t have to be tea exactly, but I invite you to try it. If tea is not your thing, something that is calming or your usual go to drink when you want to unwind and relax will work. With this challenge, what is important is your intention and your actions. Everyday countless peopl

Day 18 ~ July 26, 2023 Happy Wednesday! Day 18 of the Awaken in the Present: Embrace the Now Challenge has us Breathing Easy! We breathe all day long without thinking about it, but something truly transformative happens when our breath becomes something we do think about. Attention to the breath, and intention of the breath, is fundamental for being in the present. Our breath is an anchor to the present because it is with us and happens naturally all the time. If we get in th

Day 17 ~ July 25, 2023 What time is it? What time is it? Ugh, time! The challenge for today is to Stop the Clock! Not being aware of the passing time is an interesting exercise when it comes to living in the present. If we constantly watch the clock, we are not focusing on what we are doing in the present moment. We are completely in the future – deadlines, appointments, what time is the next show, what is going to happen when the clock strikes whatever hour it needs to. We c

Day 16 ~ July 24, 2023 Good morning! Welcome back and to Day 16. Since today is Monday, I thought it would be a great time to talk about Morning Intentions! Let’s start the week off in a positive and present manner. Starting our days with intentions is energizing. Let me start with what intention means. An intention is not a goal but the energy you put into how you want things to go, like a goal. To me they are like stepping stones that I am consciously laying down to create

Day 15 ~ July 23, 2023 Good day and welcome to Day 15 of the challenge. Today I want to work with our Swirling Colors of Energy! I love working with my chakras because I can visualize the colors and I love to fill my world with color. The rainbowy the better! Below is an exercise I use when I am feeling really off and when other techniques are just not pulling me to the present. This exercise is a condensed version and only takes a minute or so to do. Even though it is short

Day 14 ~ July 22, 2023 Today I pulled a card from the Spirit Animal Oracle deck to see what my animals had to say about embracing the now. Cat Spirit jumped in on sure feet to bring us the Importance of Independence! Merriam-Webster defines independence as ‘not subject to control by others’. At times, we tend to add our own inner narrative to our days but for the most part that narrative comes from others. Most of us, if we try hard, can identify exactly which voice belongs t

Day 13 ~ July 21, 2023 Calling attendance for Day 13. Who’s present? Raise your hand. If you are not present and centered, it’s time to Try Some Grounding! Grounding refers to the ability to return to the present moment with sustained awareness using the sense of touch. Physically touching something or someone is very powerful. It provides a connection to the energy of what we come in contact with. Think about what it means to touch a loved one or your pets, or even a favorit

Day 12 ~ July 20, 2023 Welcome back to the Awaken in the Present: Embrace the Now Challenge! How in the present are we after 11 days? Is it getting a bit easier? How are the exercises working for you? So, let’s see. What’s on the agenda for today. I’m thinking about Breaktime! I challenge you to take a break, just give yourself a break!!! This comes from someone who needs to intentionally practice this exercise. I am very bad at taking time for me. It really came to a head as

Day 11 ~ July 19, 2023 Happy Wednesday everyone. Day 11 welcomes us to take your Meditation on the Go! A meditation on the go is all about walking. Now walking can be one of those activities that could let our minds go wild as we walk. However, with the right intentions for the walk it can be a very enjoyable and adventurous experience as you embrace what is going on in the present moment. Meditations on the go is an invitation to engage all your senses. The intention is to b

Day 10 ~ July 18, 2023 Welcome to Day 10! I’ve been sharing techniques and tips to get us all to embrace the now because it is so important to really be present in our lives for ourselves, with others, and in what we do. Today the challenge brings us once again to our hearing and how sounds can bring us to the present very easily if we allow it. Let’s get into the Sounds of Nature! You may not be surprised but I was going to focus on a different topic today, but nature spoke,
