A few months ago I created a teensy bit of an uproar by posting the following Hiatus Notice on the front page of my website:

♥
At the time, I also let all clients local to the Collingwood, ON area & beyond know that I was no longer taking in-person one-to-one client sessions for the foreseeable future due to a dire need for time off.
Well it's now been approximately 2 months since I made this initial decision and there are more than a few things that have changed in my life.
For one - the time off has allowed me to branch out & throw more time into new creative projects...
One of which is going LIVE in just under 2 weeks on July 1st, 2019 - the Spirit Unplugged Podcast.
I've announced the launch of our new Podcast project on all of my social feeds & when it does go live, I will be publishing links to access the Podcast on the homepage of this website.
I've also in that short time, reignited my love & passion for reading. I know that may sound strange because you are used to seeing me always full of love, passion, light & humour... but I'm sure you can feel me here when I say - when you've been doing a specific job for years on end, sometimes things just don't feel fresh & new / challenging anymore.
♥
Up until now, you have been there right beside me, witnessing all of the changes / evolution of my business.
I remember all of that too.
Those were good times. I would not be who I am today without having experienced any of those things. Your willingness to support my business & cheer me on from the sidelines is what allowed me to grow so quickly, offering so many different services & opportunities for us to grow & connect together (You + Me + Spirit).
Feeling a little nostalgic?
Me too, Babe.
Evolution / Growth exists, and I am on my way to growing into a new (hopefully just as good) version of Me.
What can you expect as a result of my much-needed Hiatus + new growth?
Different opportunities to connect - but ones that allow for more consistency.
One major issue I had with a lot of those services & events was the sheer energy drain on my spiritual & physical health as a result of traveling, setting up / tearing down, maintaining complex schedules that had me here, there & everywhere, partnering with a 3rd party in booking readings / sessions with you.
None of those were bad things. Not even a little bit. But accumulatively, over the course of 5 years (wow, I am SO Blessed!)... I'm not going to lie, it all became a bit much.
♥
I want to give the Online Community that has supported me throughout all of the up's & down's + extended M.I.A. (social-detox) moments - more of my time, care & attention. And you know what? I encourage you to join us along on this ride.
I know that connecting via words, videos, etc. on a screen may not be the same. But for me... creating more of a digital connection allows me to show up much more often and consistently for all of you.
That's what I care about more than anything.
You know what my biggest fear was (and still is)?
Letting all of you down.
Crazy, right?
It's one major reason why I'm writing you this love letter to begin with.
By tuning into the Spirit Unplugged Podcast Launch happening in just under 2 weeks from now (July 1st, 2019).
I also invite all of you to interact and engage with me more on all of my social feeds. I love hearing from all of you and I truly appreciate all of your loving words. Even words that are shared as guidance, advice, criticism, or suggestions.
I am new to completely switching gears to the "Digital Age".
I guess I'm what you call a "Xennial"... A really old Millenial that still remembers writing my high school assignments on pen / paper + getting my first cell phone (for emergencies only - no one texted back then & apps weren't even a thing!) as a Senior in High School.
So I am learning slowly & I think I just may be getting the hang of all of this app stuff.
But if there are certain outlets / apps you'd like to see more of me on - let me know! I'm always willing to learn.
♥
Thank you for your love, support & patience while I took my much-needed Hiatus + this subsequent Update / Message revealing that my Hiatus is not a short-term thing BUT a much bigger "Here I grow Again" / "My Business is about to Change" thing.
You have no idea what your love & support has meant to me over the years.
If you've noticed... I always say in my sessions (or try to), Online & In Person -
That's true. I still feel that way - mind, body & soul.
So, again, THANK YOU. You are the best.
I love you, honour you & cherish you.
Truly, madly, deeply ♥
