This week is my 18th wedding anniversary and I have some WILD BRAGS!
But first I made a video on a tender topic….
Many conscious spiritual heart-centered woman feel unseen or judged by family, our circle of friends, our tribe.
After marrying, the message I received seemed to say nothing I did was right or good enough…
I unschooled my children and was called ‘strange’.
I didn’t vaccinate my children and was called ‘negligent’.
I fed my family High-Raw and was told I was ‘depriving my kids of a normal childhood’.
This was my new family and I wanted to bond and fit in, especially for my children’s sake!
So I endeavoured to stay true to myself AND be open to others and their ways.
I made raw food AND cooked food at family celebrations and holidays.
I created a creative artistic homelife with messy projects and crafts AND kept the house neat as a pin.
I felt like I was always doing DOUBLE-TIME with everything to strike that balance.
And I didn’t mind because I just wanted everyone to be happy, and to love/accept me.
But the funny thing was no matter what I did, people still criticized.
After many years of this I became RESENTFUL.
I wasn’t feeling loved or respected, and I certainly wasn’t enjoying myself.
It was painful living in complaints, criticism and negativity.
It just felt toxic and uninspiring.
So I left the tribe.
In the video I share about how I stopped inviting this and let go of all the striving to stand in my own truth and power.
REMEMBER: With the wrong tribe you can do no right
And with the right tribe you can do no wrong
with legendary love,
ps Instead of self-doubt and needing from others I approve of myself and am focused on my Legacy.
What about YOU?
Are you worthy or unworthy? Are you legendary or not? Can you shout from the rooftops what you have done and who you are or do you feel less-than?
EMPRESS WOMEN OWN THEIR BEAUTY AND CLAIM THEIR POWER- it isn’t handed to us!
And when we do it takes us all HIGHER.
IN THIS COMMUNITY YOU ARE FREE TO BE ALL OF YOU-
MAGNIFICENT, MESSED-UP, DIVINE, DARK, EXQUISITE, EXTREME and EVERYTHING inbetween!
I share my legendary brags for you to read…THEN WRITE YOUR OWN:
I am the most alluring and brilliant Courtesan of all time and my story tells you how…
I brag I have manifested the EXACT circumstances I needed to hold my attention…I saw and experienced many wild adventures, most untold…I keep those mysteries sacred as the brilliant Courtesan of the Night that I am…
And I now have the strength and power that comes from such Initiations…
When I was a teen my single mother died suddenly and I was left to the streets with nothing but the clothes on my back, all alone…
I brag at 16 with no address I lied about my age and got an interview without any of the required qualifications and not only received the position of Podiatrist Assistant but held it for 3 summers, receiving a raise each year.
I brag I had a GUARDIAN ANGEL who hired me to work in her medical practice, inspiring my epic journey of health and natural beauty that changed my life forever!
I brag even though I was homeless and an orphan I was voted in my graduating year ‘Most likely to succeed in HAPPINESS’ by my peers.
I brag I was awarded a SCHOLARSHIP for University of Toronto with HONOURS. I brag I also received an OSAP loan and when I paid it off my bank manager said we’ve never seen anyone pay it off as fast as I had!
I brag in my first year with over 150 students my professor said ‘In all my years I have wanted but never read an essay such as this’ and proceeded to read MY ESSAY.
I brag when after that first year of University I didn’t sleep for 11 days straight and started hallucinating with suicidal thoughts I checked myself into the hospital. I swag I didn’t know that if you are suicidal they put you in the PSYCHIATRIC WARD- so there I was at 17!
After endless trials of drugs that couldn’t even touch my powerful system those doctors wanted to do electro-shock therapy on me but I told them NEVER. I brag said I was not willing to ‘play anymore Russian Roulette with my health’ and I decided I’m OUTTA HERE.
I swag the doctor, a pretty and perfectly coiffed but UNRADIANT blonde said dryly ‘You’ll be back.’ I said ‘You’re so WRONG.’ and I immediately checked myself out never to return!

I brag my friend, a 7th degree Karate champion and world-class backgammon player, visited me in the hospital to feed me organic food, and then he flew where I was staying on a farm and nourished me to health with his love and devotion.
I brag he whisked me away to AUSTRIA (Vienna- where my mom was from!!!!) and GERMANY on his impressive winning streak.
I brag for months on end he respected my boundaries, and eventually won me over! I brag a whirlwind romance of epic love and adventures that included riding wild horses in the mountains of ECUADOR and making love on the trains and planes while eating fresh figs!
I brag when I returned I went for a job as a fitness instructor but was actually offered the position of Assistant Fitness DIRECTOR of a huge, swanky racquet sports and fitness club in Toronto, making a BIG salary. I brag I taught classes and gave fitness tests to famous people and athletes.
I brag I later received a position at CPI (Concerts Production International) because it was the only way I could get to see the PRINCE concert which sold out in 30 minutes!
I brag on my third night I was working backstage (which I CONJURED out of my OBSESSION over him at the time!) and the tour coordinator (who used to be a speech writer for MARTIN LUTHER KING) hired me ON THE SPOT to work on tour in wardrobe.
I brag I flew around the world WITH PRINCE AND THE BAND and became friends with the lead guitarist of the Sheila E band who was Prince’s opening band, who now is with Santana and we’ve remained friends all these years!
I brag the tour coordinator would throw money at me and BEGGED ME TO BE HIS GIRLFRIEND and BOUGHT ME LAVISH GIFTS and did everything in his power to bed me but I said ‘No, we both deserve true love’- which unknowingly only made him CRAVE ME MORE. I swag he eventually gave up pursuing me realizing it was no use, and fired me out of jealous revenge!
I brag I took a course and learned TESL and decided to move to Hong Kong to teach English and I made amazing money and loved it!

I brag 3 months later my friend’s mother phoned me and said ‘I LOVE L and wanted him for a son in law… but unfortunately my daughter isn’t mature enough for him, but with all your life experience you’d be a perfect match!’
I brag God came through!

You are just the most inspiring woman I’ve come across. I’ve never really looked up to anyone, I always found older women bitter and lost and not truly themselves, and you are the opposite. Thank you for continuing to inspire me. I’d love to hear more about your unschooling and raising of children in your blogs as this is where I am in my life 🙂
@Dana Wood: Thank you Dana for one of the nicest compliments I’ve ever received!
You should definitely write a book! I would read it!
