When we demonstrate our own personal power to resist and say NO, we feel in control. And that feels good. Yet, sometimes we resist that which is our own stated best interest. We say NO to ourselves! We say NO to our own positive choices.
...Welcome to Thriving Now!
Hi There!
(January 22, 2023) Our Real Skills focus for January-March 2023 is on Be What Matters. What does that mean? It means knowing how you want to be (emotionally) and developing the skill of having that emotional experience over and over again.
Join the Be What Matters Focus Group Here.
We started with Know What Matters to You - the recording is available at the link. On Sun Jan 29th we'll take a potent step together so you can Stop Suppressing Yourself. Mark your calendars and join the circle if you're not already a member.
All the Real Skills Workshops can be found in the community center.
We've updated the Learn EFT Tapping Course. You're welcome to use it as our gift... and donations are greatly appreciated. The next module with 7 EFT Tapping Scripts for an Abundant & Thriving Life NOW will be released soon!
All of the self-paced coaching and tapping courses are now in the new system and available for you to explore!
On Twitter? Follow me to get updates.

...The holidays are supposed to be full of laughter and joy, aren’t they? I remember the promise of a glittering tree, brightly wrapped packages, warm cookies baking.
