It’s been awhile since I’ve posted on my gram.

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted on my gram. Like, 5 months! Where have I been?
.
Here I am! 🙋‍♀️
.
Stuck in the fucking middle. 👉🏻 🤷‍♀️👈🏻 You know that in between place?!?!
.
I didn’t realize it until today when I was reading Danielle Laporte's recent blog post and it totally resonated with me. Literally, every word speaks to my soul. It’s exactly how I have been feeling lately, stuck in that in-between place. Maybe you have been here too. Maybe you still are.
.
The good news is, I’m on my way outta here. I knew my old ways weren't working for me anymore; watching, following, searching, seeking and not enough doing! Things had to change. So I'm making changes. BIG changes! EXCITING changes! My new ways are in progress and I'm loving the outcomes. I have so much to tell you. Soon...when the time is right.
.
For now, I accept the in-between is unavoidable on my way to fulfillment so I’m choosing to embrace it. It’s ok to be here. Truthfully, I’ve really been enjoying it. What’s the saying? “Good things come to those who wait”, right? Although, patiently waiting, holding my breath while longing to exhale. I've been soaking up new sources of inspiration and choosing to breath deep over grasping because I was drowning.
.
I take comfort being in this in-between place while I return to my heart's centre to allow me to focus on what’s most important so that I can manifest it accordingly. If you're stuck in this in-between place, I wish the same for you. Always return to your heart's centre. What’s your heart telling? Your heart has the answers. It knows how you want to feel. Just listen to your heart and let your feelings lead the way.

With Love,

The new year is here and it’s time for a new ME!

The new year is here and it’s time for a new ME! 🤔...or so the the saying goes right? 🤷‍♀️
.
It’s amazing how a year can pass and we can feel like we didn’t accomplish anything or that we aren’t any closer to our desires.
.
But before I started making all kinds of new resolutions and discounting my past year of accomplishments, (and believe me, the negative talk was already starting to take over) I decided to take a deep breath, poured a glass of wine and I went through my Desire Map planner and wrote out my 2018 highlights and this is what I saw.
.
The first thing was my declaration of core desired feelings that I wanted to feel sooo badly. Authentic, Creative, Connected, Empowered. I smiled to myself realizing I’m crazy. I did feel these feelings. I can say I 💯 percent felt and lived these feelings throughout the entire year. Every single high and low, decision good and bad was made with these feelings at the forefront of how I wanted to feel everyday and let me tell you, what a difference it made in my life and the choices I made.
.
As I flipped the pages from January to December, I watched my list grow with all of the things I had accomplished and of course of all of the struggles, doubt, hurt and sadness I conquered (because let’s be real, I felt all these shitty things too). I was prepared to share my list with you but realized somethings are sacred and private so I’m choosing to celebrate and mourn these feelings in my heart. 💗
.
What I can tell you, is, I won’t be saying goodbye to 2018 with any kind of resentment. I crushed some major fucking goals and I’m proud of it! Now I’ve rediscovered my CDF’s for 2019 and have aligned them with some new goals, so bring on 2019! I am ready for you. 👊🏻
.
Have you discovered your CDF’s and set your goals for 2019? If yes, feel free to share by writing a comment and if no, let me help you discover them. The date for my next Desire Map workshop will be released soon. Don’t forget to mark it on your calendars.
.
Psst...do you want to know what I did to make my 2018 so amazing? Keep an eye out for my next post. 😉

I recently had the honour of introducing the Desire Map to a group of lovely woman.
.
Preparing for this event was filled with excitement knowing I was going to be talking about core desired feelings. This has been my whole purpose since discovering my own CDF’s and now it was my turn to share the Desire Map experience with others and help them live according to how they want to feel.
.
After setting up a beautiful scared space l meditated in silence feeling the magic of the room before my guests arrived. It was important that we felt comfortable and open to share. To share how we currently feel and how we want to feel.
.
I was sitting on the floor surrounded in scattered Truthbombs and flowers and my photographer said “Why don’t you pull one and let’s snap a pic”. So I did and it said “Be the gift you bring”.
.
It’s amazing how just one sentence can break open your heart, soothe your soul and hit you like a truthbomb. And let me tell ya, it sure did.
.
I had goosebumps reading this card out loud knowing that it was specifically chosen for me, right now, in this moment, setting my intention for the evening. This is exactly what I had planned to bring; me, fully, completely, with my gift. The gift and privilege of being able to share the Desire Map and the wisdom of Danielle Laporte.
.
I want to thank the amazing woman that showed up to the workshop with their full hearts and their openness which made this a truly magical experience for me and everyone else there. Thank you, I have deep gratitude.
.
I am even more inspired to help others love themselves deeply. I can’t wait to host my next workshop. Details coming soon! I would love to help you find clarity on your goals and guide you in the journey of fulfillment. Do you want to stop chasing your goals and start chasing your core desired feeling? Let’s discover them together. It’s simple and powerful. Until then...
.
Wishing you a heart full of your deepest desires. 💞
.
Love Mandy xo
