Are You Asking Yourself Where Is My Community?

The clinch is true, no man is an island. We, especially leaders or leaders in training, wrestle with the desire to be an individual and have a community or tribe. If you are a leader or a leader in training there is an intense desire within you to:
  • know and have a community or tribe
  • to help give this community or tribe the tools to accomplish what they desire
  • to feel supported (financially, spiritual, mentally and emotionally) while being the leader of this community or tribe
  • to be recognize for your individualism
There are several Soul Languages that leadership is within their Soul DNA. A couple of these Languages that include leadership in their Soul Language definition are: Matriarch/Patriarch, Conductor, Sovereign, and Sheppard.

If your Soul is one that yearns for a community and you don't understand how to go about generating that community or tribe, read on!

Recently, I was speaking with a Matriarch (Soul Language category dealing with mission) and she was expressing how she understood this leadership talent within her Soul and yet, was frustrated that her community was no way to be found. My next question to her was a simple one: "How many people follow you on Twitter?" The answer is: 1,100. That's more individuals that were in my high school. So that brings us to strategy to seeking your community.

Your Community Is Right In Front Of You
I'm all for intention, focusing and asking the Universe exactly what you want. You have to understand that sometimes, even if you are thinking you are being clear to the Universe, the Universe might not see it the same way.

My suggestion is to make a list of all the individuals you know and write down the three things they all have in common. Is the common theme with these individuals something you have already master (leader)? Is it a theme that you are currently mastering (leader in training)? Did you notice a theme about your community that you were unaware of?

During a session with an individual who speaks the Soul Language of Sovereign (Soul Language category dealing with personality), we were discussing her career and her desire to connect with her community. She was mentioning that the current reporting, she is an on-air fashion expert, wasn't meaty enough for her. She has an desire to help others transform their lives and the reporting was too surface for her. I remarked that this material seemed to be starving her emotionally, spiritual, mentally, and physically (financially). We discussed ways to begin to connect with to her community with material that she could really sink her teeth into. That brings us to another strategy in seeking your community or tribe.

Don't Water Down Your Passion
Be passionate about what you are providing. Think of passion as a tool to clear paths, blocks and restrictions. Often we can make our lives more complicated then they need to be. If you have lost site of your passion, we will be discussing how to keep passion on track during a group class in the on-going Know Soul's Language Success Support Program.

Above are just some of the strategies for creating or generating your community. Remember, this community or tribe search can be an easy fluid process or it can be a process of struggle, that decision is up to you.






There are several Soul Languages that are geared towards leadership, one of these is the Matriarch/Patriarch Soul Language.

Learn The Keys of Grace and Liberate Your Emotion

This past week I was speaking with a friend, who was experiencing some feelings of anger and she was looking for an answer on what to do about these feelings. She picked up The Keys of Grace affirmation cards and selected The Child Queen (see visual). This card's focusing words are: Liberate Your Emotion. What I love about using a tool like this is, if you are having trouble hearing that inner wisdom, it allows you to tap into it with a flip of the cards.

Often we will use the tool of anger when we don't fully understand something in our lives. Ask yourself, what situation you do you not understand fully and what emotion are you using to process that situation (anger, sadness, frustration)?

Free (or liberate) your emotion. No queen or king can move forward with the weight of anger or self-loathing. The moment your child understands that anger is not the answer, but a symptom of the pain, that is the moment of your coronation.

The affirmation for this card is: I AM AT PEACE. Isn't it time that you moved towards peace and away from anger.

I believe that Marshall B. Rosenberg said it with elegance, "At the core of all anger is a need that is not being fulfilled."

Here's to fulfilling your need. The Keys of Grace affirmation deck can be purchased by clicking here.

How Do You Know Who You Are?


In The Keys of Grace cards, one of the visuals that was giving me the most trouble explaining the visual to Caren was the card The Magdalene. One day, I walked into Caren's art studio and there on her painting easel was a painting that was so beautiful that I knew it was the visual for The Magdalene. It was Caren's self portrait. The painting fit so beautiful with the meaning of this card which is all about understanding and accepting who you are. This card is about loving every aspect of you. The focusing words for the card is: Accepting Power. Where are you not accepting the power of YOU?

Today, is the day you can start loving yourself more by accepting YOU. I suggest you saying the affirmation on this card aloud: I know who I am.

According to Yoda, there is "only what you take with you." So today, take the power of you along for the ride.

If you are interested in tapping into your inner wisdom a perfect tool is The Keys of Grace affirmation deck. You can pre-order a copy here.

Do You Need A Soul Vacation?

Last week, I was in Florida with my mother on vacation. I needed a cation from the everyday so I could reconnect with ME! I read six books (all fun fiction), swam, sat in the sun, and played cards.

I often view the Soul as a creative mass of energy. This energy needs time to pause in between of bursts of genius. Being on vacation made me think of times where I could use a little Soul vacation to help the creative process. I got to thinking on how to create this Soul vacation without utilizing vacation days. I also wanted to make sure I capitalize on the recent re-energizing downtime. For inspiration, on how to craft this exercise, I tapped into the Soul Language -- Creator. These individuals will be known here for the ability to breathe into existence something that has never been in existence before.

Below is one of the exercises that connecting with the energy of this Soul Language generated. It is called: Take a Walk in Your Garden Please note that the exercise takes 30 seconds and read the exercise before conducting.

Settle into a comfortable chair and allow your awareness to settle into your tailbone. Take a deep breath and imagine a beautiful garden. Place in your garden all of your heart's desire. This is a garden of your own making. Everything in the garden, is something you love. There are no limits. Take 30 seconds to feel the peace and comfortable of your perfect place. When you have felt the peace within you, set the intention to bring this peace back with you from your garden. Open your eyes.

The above exercise can be done anytime you are feeling out of sorts. I suggest doing this a couple of times a day and notice at the end of the day how you feel. Do you feel more refreshed? Did your day go more smoothly?

Finding Your Support -- How JetBlue Loosing My Luggage Taught Me About Support

An ex-boyfriend and I use to have the same argument again and again. It went a little like this:

Jennifer: "I feel like you don't support me."
Ex-boyfriend: "I support you by..." (and then he would list all the ways he felt he supported me).

What I didn't realize then was, we were both right. This concept of feeling support in relationships is a funny thing. Mainly, because support means different things to different people. What I find so interesting about the feeling of being unsupported, is that feeling will seep into every aspect of your life.

This was very apparent on Saturday. As I sat at Westchester Airport, no luggage in hand and looking at the empty baggage belt. Besides wondering where my luggage with all my favorite bits and pieces was, I was wondering how I can change from feeling unsupported to supported. I understood, if I was going to to Unsupported Town because of lost luggage well...

I know that every experience is a chance for me to learn to be more consciously in my soul and become more part of the Universal flow. That's when the words support beam popped into my head.

A support beam is a beam that is supported at each end, and the load is then distributed along its length. If you remove it, the wall or building falls down. I believe this is how we view support in our lives; especially in relationships. Relationships can't be your support beam. You need to be your own beam. You need to find what will help you distribute the load. Once you embrace this concept, what happens is relationships will strengthen that beam. Sort of like the nails in your beam of support.

With this new understanding of support, I asked myself what beliefs were at each end of my beam to distribute this load. Below is the exercise I created in order to create my new beam of support.

Please note that you will need a pen and paper. Sit in a comfortable chair and let your awareness focus on your tailbone. Take a deep breath and ask yourself the following question:

What is a belief that keeps your support beam standing?

What was your answer? The answer that I received to this question was: courage. This of course, fits nicely with my Soul Language the Graceful Warrior.

When you are starting to feel unsupported, that is the time to settle and feel that supportive belief.

3 Ways to Accept Where YOU Are

One of the things that participants will learn during the Success Support Program is how to understand all of the 107 Soul Languages. Why would you want to know about another's Soul Language? Well, so you don't take things personally, so you can learn new skills, and to help you to feel that you are part of everything and everything is a part of YOU. I was able to access what I know about the Soul Language the Sextant for this tip. Again, you can learn more about the Sextant and Laura West below.

1. See How Far You Have Come?
Often when we feel lost, we forget how far we have come prior to this point. Today, break out the color pencils and create a beautiful map on how far you have come in your life. Make sure that you list all of your highlights, accomplishments and greatest. Taking the time to celebrate each win as you draw it on your map.

2. Where Do You Want to Go?
Do you feel lost because you are not sure where you want to go? Today, set the intention to receive just one new direction that you would like to travel in. Do not worry about how this knowledge will reveal itself to you, just set the intention and watch what happens.

3. Joyfully Step Ahead
Tomorrow, when you get out of bed and take your first 15 steps, take them with JOY. With each step state aloud, "I joyfully walk my path."

You are Supported and Loved in Transition

The Keys of Grace Affirmation cards are a tool for you to connect with guidance easily. I fine them useful if I'm feeling I need a little reassurance or I'm not sure what's my next step. I love when I pull the The Gargoyle card. First, I love his friendly face and I know that even if it doesn't feel like it I'm being guided through my transition.

Each card has a focusing word and transition is The Gargoyle's. This card is about being protected and supported as you move from something smaller to something bigger. Another way to say that is that you are safe as you expand and accept your greatness.

The affirmation for this card, always fills me with a warm feeling -- I Am Being Guided By Love and Support. Set the intention over the next week that you witness how you are being loved and support.

According to, David Hawkins, "That which you resist stays." I think that is important to remember during transition times.

If you are interested in having your own Keys of Grace deck, please pre-order the deck by clicking here.
