Messy...
When you’ve set an intention for a new vision and hit the start button, it usually gets messy.
Everything that is not a match for that vision will present itself, usually in the form of a problem. Whether it's unfinished business, relationships that are no longer a fit or other energy leaks. From a metaphysical standpoint, your new vision needs space to expand. It's literally going to clear out the old and make way for the new.
Now despite how you might feel in the moment Reader, problems are a good thing.
Why? Because they’re an opportunity for you to do things differently, to practice a way of being that is congruent with the vision you are heading toward.
From the standpoint of vision, a problem is a tool that you can use to adjust your lens, to get precise on your standards and to let go of what no longer serves you. Once you've figured your way through it to the other side, problems have created the space for you to operate from the position of your new way of being.
If you list all of the problems you’ve been having from the moment you set the intention for your new vision to now, from the moment you asked for something your heart deeply wants, can you see progress?
Are the problems getting less complex? More?
Are you developing skills that you can layer together to solve even bigger problems as you expand to yet another level? Say it with me, mess before miracles for the win.
If you can’t see your way through to the other side, it’s time for help.

If you've ever bid on a Dream Project, where you know you sold your services (and yourself) cheap, because you wanted to be the most "affordable" option, because you really wanted the job, but you lost it anyway, that's why. The person on the receiving end wondered, "Is this person new? Do they know what they're doing? Do they not know their value?" Because when you collaborate with somebody...
As many of you know, I moved into my first house a few years back. I had owned a couple of loft spaces over the years but I liked the idea of having more outdoor space and our house has almost a half acre of land. “Houses are hungry,” is what my client Sheryl McLean said and she wasn’t lying. From the get go this house wanted my attention. It started with an undisclosed leak by the seller in the primary bath, that forced me into a renovation three weeks into homeownership and living in a new...
I was in Los Angeles last week and ended up having a very design-filled couple of days. I visited the gorgeous studio of my recent, private client Haus of Meeshie: HōM in a historic part of Westchester I had never visited in the almost twenty years I lived in LA. Then I visited my client Jill Romine while she installed her owner's suite and bath at the Pasadena Showcase house. (I can't share pictures but the room has a bed and a feeling, you have to see in person when it's open in April.) I...
