One of the most beautiful things we ever give anyone is a SMILE… the Universal language of LOVE and BEAUTY.
So I am inviting you to join with me in bringing smiles to the world and to children who are born with cleft lips and palettes…
Unlike children in Canada who if born this way are provided corrective surgery soon after their birth for free- children in 3rd world countries not only suffer ridicule and shame- sometimes not going out of their house or to school- but some actually die because they can’t breathe or eat properly.
The AMAZING thing is the surgery usually takes only 45 minutes to change a child’s life FOREVER.
The other amazing thing is that OPERATION SMILE has over 5,000 Doctors who VOLUNTEER their time and expertise travelling all over the globe setting up clinics for these children, literally creating MIRACLES for families who are so desperate.
Each surgery only costs $240 to transform a child’s smile forever-
Please go online to see incredible BEFORE AND AFTER photos of these beautiful new smiles at:
And for everyone in my community who donates to OPERATION SMILE I will be gifting a private group call with me where I will be revealing something that will put a BIG smile on YOUR FACE.
Just email customerservice at earthempress dot com after donating for more details on this special time with me.
Earth Empresses, I’m thinking of you and sending you so much HEALTH, LOVE AND JOY over the Holidays.
I love you!
with snowflakes and smiles,
ps In the comments section I’d love to hear about YOUR favorite ways of gifting and giving back to your favorite charities, your friends and family and/or your plans for contributing your gifts in 2015!
Firstly, I want to THANK YOU for the outpouring of love and prayers I received since sharing about mine and my husband’s recent health issues last week.
The GRACE and WISDOM you shared is incredibly inspiring and really LIFTED us…you all made me so proud of this community.
A beautiful frame from Dawn: ‘I am holding an image of you in my mind in your brilliant powerful inspiring, unbridled joy, beauty, passion as if you had asked me to hold your candle for a moment while you rest.’
I was feeling so free and supported- but then I suddenly ended up in the hospital!
I’m alright now, but clearly not doing well…
Next week I meet with a cardiologist for more tests.
And my husband is in Toronto today for a 4-hour blood test as a preliminary to having his surgery.
All this medical mayham I’m experiencing seems so foreign to me and how I normally live that I feel genuinely scared and confused…
I know I’ll get through this but right now I just don’t really know how…I just don’t have any answers right now.
Once again I am allowing myself to be open. To be real and raw and vulnerable with you no matter what it looks like.
It seems counter-intuitive, but being vulnerable is actually a Feminine superpower.
I made another video to share from a very tender place…
It’s too painful to try and go through alone and not necessary or healthy.
I believe together we can shift the current myth of vulnerability as weakness, and become infused with it’s TRUE beauty and strength.
So we can live uncensored, authentic and real as women, and receive the support available to us when we open ourselves up to our truth.
with raw love,
ps OMGosh I hope this is the last time you ever have to see me like this- it’s not pretty being this vulnerable…but there’s beauty in our truth as women that is healing for us all.
We don’t grow in planter’s pots or in coiffed gardens…
No, we are wild and free sprawling our joy over vast fields and dotting beauty along dirt roads.
We live for inspiration and color, expression and the sweet adventure.
We are innocent and fresh, sensual and feminine.
Beauty is our Medicine. Truth is our Language. Nature is our Realm.
And we smell Divine 😉
Mental Health is a natural, organic extension of Exquisite Self Care, especially for us wildflowers.
Had I known that I may have never ended up in the Psychiatric Ward :/
But I cherish my time there now as I’ve discovered that the source of our power and beauty comes from our DEPTHS.
Whenever someone meets me, interviews me or becomes a client, they’re often surprised at how REAL things get- fast!
They see the pretty pictures and the flowing goddess gowns and don’t expect the ground I can cover and how deep my roots go…
(Wildflowers are like that 😉
I consider myself an artist- my body and life is my art, and like many exquisite masterpieces, my DARKNESS has inspired most of my creativity!
In the last few years I have created:
dozens of paintings
written 5 books and 14 homestudy programs
taught local classes
published hundreds of online and offline articles
created hundreds of blogposts and videos
designed gowns (for myself and clients)
taken and published over 2000 photos
written songs
hand-sewn hundreds of dolls for orphanages
created over 200 raw recipes
hired Mentors, taken courses
travelled to events
started my own business
created online summits + World Detox Day
coached hundreds of women from around the world~
ALL while being a hands on wife, mother and homemaker- but it doesn’t stop there!
THERE IS SO MUCH MORE I DESIRE TO EXPERIENCE AND EXPRESS IN THIS LIFETIME.
What about YOU, Wildflower, what are you craving to create and experience in your life?
We are ALL endowed with our own special brand of beauty and magic…
BUT it doesn’t just come to us- it comes THROUGH us.
Your ESSENCE/GIFTS mixed with your LIFE LESSONS ie your INITIATIONS, your FAILURES, your LOSSES and INSIGHTS = your unique Purpose.
(And so does YOURS.
Our ‘aroma’ our signature, our Essence is precious and powerful, especially when cultivated).
I WISH someone had told me that when I was a teen in the Psychiatric Ward.
When I lost my mom suddenly at 16, I lost my home, my health, my direction and my peace.
I stopped sleeping for 11 days straight and that sleep-deprivation induced suicidal depression. NOT wanting to harm myself, I went to the hospital for help- how could I have known they would admit me into the Psychiatric Ward?!
I spent several long weeks there..then what happened was about to SHOCK me. After their ‘russian roulette’ with medication that didn’t help me sleep nor stop the suicidal thoughts, doctors decided on ‘electro-shock therapy’ for me next..
Everything I share and live has blossomed out of that dark but fertile soil…
Healing is possible and natural, especially when you allow the gifts of Nature to nourish you.
Along with 20 Scientists, Shamans, Authors and Wellness experts I’m sharing healing pearls of Nature that TRANSFORMED my Mental Health forever in this Healing Earth, Healing Self telesummit.
