Oh hello, beautiful women creators and welcome to my monthly musings where I share a peak into my current projects and inspirations. Pop your email into the form below and I will notify you each time I publish a new event or inspirational blog post:
The moment you say “I Am”, you activate and empower whatever words come after.For example, when you declare: “I Am confident,” “I Am worthy,” or “I Am peaceful,” you are affirming these qualities within yourself.
By using the power of “I Am,” you can change the way you view yourself and how you want to show up in the world and in your life.
You know the saying: The only constant is change! Just when things seem stable and predictable, you can expect some kind of upheaval to send you in a completely different direction…

Since I became a SoulCollage® facilitator in Italy in 2019 it was my dream to attend an international gathering to meet other facilitators from around the world and experience the magic of SoulCollage® in different ways together as a community. This June that dream became reality. This blog post intends to give a brief impression of this transformative week.
