My Printed Book is OUT! And Card Readings in LA...

Well, the book is now available in print!!

You can grab your copy here and here.

Also, I have two events this weekend in LA, the first is Benevolence with Srikala, Shakti Mayumi, + Ptolomek.

Likewise, I'll be offering Card Readings at Ecstatic Dance LA this Sunday afternoon!

Come get your healing on!

Why I'm Loving Janelle Monae

Happy Spring!

I'm all about actress/ singer Janelle Monae's album release this week!

For all my feminists + woman-power people out there, you may have already tuned into her art classic music video, Pynk.

She also released an Emotion Picture that's #AfroFuturism + #BlackGirlMagic at its best!!  If you have 45 minutes, you have to watch it!  I'm inspired by Janelle Monae's coming out, + her creative expression + genius in all ways!

I will be back at Modern Mystic this Monday doing Oracle Card Readings, + then (!!!!!) for all you LA/ California people, I will be back!!!!  Arriving this Tuesday, May 8th!  And staying for a few weeks, possibly a pinch longer!  ;)

If you need in-person Spiritual Life Coaching, Intuitive Biz Coaching, Oracle Card Readings, Affirmative Prayer, Hot Love Chocolate Truffles, etc etc, please reach out to me!  I am booking clients + events!

Also, for you ATL beauties, I am offering Skype/ Zoom/ Phone Sessions while I'm away!  They go deep + are amazing!  Plus, I will record an Affirmative Prayer for you!  Please reply to book your spot!  ;)

Much Love + Creative Inspiration!

I'm in ATL @ Modern Mystic + My Fave Books

I read an amazing book called Outrageous Openness by Tosha Silver while in Ojai in early 2018. 

In it, she talks about the power of surrender.  I did just that, and bought a one-way flight to ATL, arriving February 6th, and I've been here this whole time! 

Heading back to LA mid-May.....  :)

If you're in Atlanta, catch me at Modern Mystic on Mondays, where I'm doing walk-in Readings for the amazing price of $75.  I'm using Doreen Virtue Oracle Cards, and the sessions are infused with Life Coaching + Affirmative Prayer. 

Noticing that in my sessions, I'm recommending books to almost all my clients! 

Some include:

The Art of Extreme Self-Care by Cheryl Richardson
Conscious Uncoupling by Katherine Woodward Thomas
The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron
You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay
My Shining Year in Life + Biz by Leonie Dawson

More life-changing books include:

Inspiration Sandwich (and all books!) by SARK

Writing Down the Bones by Natalie Goldberg
The Fifth Sacred Thing by Starhawk
A Year to Live by Stephen Levine

You know Springtime (and Mercury Direct!) are here!  You can still be body-positive + want to clean up house!  ;)

With so much LOVE,

Breaking Free: The Rebel Shine Summit

What does breaking free mean to you?

Is it about finally speaking your TRUTH?

Is it about finally living your DREAMS?

Or is it an inner PEACE that finally eases your anxiety/ fears (or acting in spite of them???! Feel the fear and do it anyway...)

If you're on this email list, there's probably a part of you that's a REBEL. A rebel against the mainstream health care/ food system. A rebel for women and people of color and immigrants.

A rebel for SELF-EXPRESSION and HEALING and AUTHENTICITY...

What are you a rebel against? What are you a rebel for?

I've had the pleasure of being interviewed for the Rebel Shine Summit, coming this February 12 - 23. It's FREE! There are 24 speakers, including the creator of Wild Sister Magazine, and more!

Sign up for free here.

And contact me for your Life Coaching / Intuitive Reading / Affirmative Prayer / Holistic Health Coaching / Intuitive Biz Coaching Session!

With so much LOVE,

The Great 2018 Calendar + Planner Showdown!

Happy Winter Solstice + Happy Almost 2018!!  (OMGoddess!  How did that happen?)

I have a lil' tradition here in Love + Inspiration Notes, of sharing with you my favorite picks for Calendars + Planners for the New Year!

So, this year is no different!

My Top 4 Picks for 2018 Calendars + Planners ARE.....  :)

1)  We'Moon Calendar

This beautiful planner I have been using for almost 20 years! (OMGoddess!  ;))  It's great for writing appointments + events, keeping track of the New Moon, Full Moon, + Mercury Retrograde, + reading your Horoscope for the year!!  Plus, it's full of beautiful art, all made by inspiring women, who submit + are selected each year to be included in the calendar!

2) My Shining Year in Life + Business Print + Digital Workbooks by Leonie Dawson

This will be my fourth year using Leonie Dawson's Shining Year Workbooks.  They are a phenomenal way to dream big + write down all your bucket list goals for 2018, in every area of life!  She also has a wonderful exercise she calls "Completing 2017," a page where you create your "Medicine Bag" for when things get hard, + she recommends going back over your goals each month to see what you accomplished, where you got stuck, + what you can do about it!  Highly Recommended for the Multi-Passionate, Creative Soul!!!

3)  Life is Beautiful and So Are You!  I Stand for Love Wall Calendar by Sarah Love Hanna McCoy

I have known Sarah now for 4 years (wow!).  We met as Accountability Partners in Marie Forleo 's program, B-School.  Sarah is not just a visual artist, but she channels + is a Priestess (in the earth-based magical sense)!  In other words, she comes up with Daily Affirmations that are spot on + always exactly what you are going through!!  I love how her affirmations line up with Louise Hay's from the calendar below.  Sarah is truly gifted!  And her calendar makes you feel good everyday!  These are inexpensive + great for gifting!  She sells bundles so you can gift to your whole office or family!  ;)

4) Louise Hay I Can Do It Daily Affirmation Calendar by Hay House Publishing

Oh, Dear Louise Hay.  I absolutely love these daily affirmations + photos to accompany.  I rip them off each day + write my to-do list on the back!  ;)  It infuses my list with great energy!  ;)  Whoever is creating this calendar, be it Louise Hay or those she collaborates with, is tuned in.  Because the Affirmations always correspond with exactly what you need!  Boost your confidence + self-esteem in 2018, while lifting your spirits daily with a positive thought!  "I Love + Approve of Myself."  That's right, Louise Hay, we do!!!  ;)

My Interview with Monica Douglas-Clark, The Spiritual Kitchen Podcast!

I'm loving this India Arie song, There's Hope.  (You can click to listen.  ;))

Are you feeling slightly uplifted by the local election results in the U.S. yesterday?  I am. 

I wanted to share with you something I have never shared before.  A piece of my story, which explains why I choose to be a source of love, why I choose to be authentic + vulnerable. 

Sometimes our greatest wound becomes our greatest gift.
 

Listen to this episode of The Spiritual Kitchen Podcast with me + the amazing Monica Douglas-Clark. 

She interviews me about Morning Practices + my book, Retreat Recipes for Yoga Lovers.

But what emerges is deep + profound.

I hope it will bring some love + authenticity into your day.  (And inspiration, of course!)

My Interview from France!!!

Prayers for the Fires in California, Prayers for Indigenous Peoples Day this Past Week, Puerto Rico, + All the World! 

This week I had the honor of recording a beautiful video interview with my lovely business friend + mentor Karina Ladet from France.  We talk about my food story + the story behind my book, Retreat Recipes for Yoga Lovers.

Karina is an intuitive healer + channel, with a tribe of "soulful entrepreneurs" that she supports with her readings, mentorship + coaching.

I am honored to share this beautiful video with you.  Click below to watch!  ;)

p.s.  I am honored to be an Affiliate for this beautiful workshop on Relationship + Being Your Best Self, led by Bestselling Author + Coach, Kute Blackson.  Geared towards women who love men, The Man Breakthrough Experience means a Life Breakthrough for Women.  It's happening in LA, October 13 - 15.  Click the link + enter promo code "love now" for $100 off admission, or $197.  Plus, you can bring a friend for free, only with my special link! 

Womb Healing + The Collective Consciousness

In the Jewish tradition, this past weekend was Yom Kippur, a holiday all about asking for Forgiveness. 

I've been doing Affirmative Prayer on facebook a bunch, + noticing an energy wants to come through around Womb Healing. 

Yes, I'm a Food Artist + Healer, but I also lived with Tantra Practitioners + catered lots of Tantra Workshops, along with taking tons of Breathwork classes in Bali!  All of these modalities can be so beautiful for healing the Womb.

The womb, for those of us who have one, is where we store anger, fear, old hurts + wounds.  It is time for us to clear out this old energy, + also the energy we pick up from the Collective Consciousness, from our Ancestral Lineages, and more. 

If you're looking for a great book on the womb, I have two powerful Priestess friends who are Womb + Sexuality authors! 

One is India Ame'ye, my ATL sister now living in Amsterdam.  She wrote You Look Like Something Blooming, and Yes, when she first called the Raw Restaurant where I was working + shared her name, I thought she said India Arie + almost fainted.  ;) But India Ame'ye is absolute magic in her own right!  I love her!

The second is my dear sister Atourina Charles, who just came out with this gorgeous high-end magazine-esque art book called Womb Alchemy.

I highly recommend you check these two Goddesses out! 

Sending so much LOVE to the planet right now! 

If you want Card Readings or Affirmative Prayer, I have two brand new pages up on my website!

Also, I have a few openings for new Life Coaching + Holistic Lifestyle Coaching clients!  (Click "Reply" to this email if you'd like more information!  ;))

Now is the Perfect Time, Ladies + Gentlemen!!  (And gender-non-conforming!)

I LOVE YOU SOOO MUCH!

xox

Debra.

p.s.  I will be on TWO podcasts/ video interviews this week, the first with Healer/ Intuitive/ Business Goddess Karina Ladet from FRANCE (that's right y'all I'm going big! ;)) 

The second with the absolutely beautiful Rebel Reverend Monica Douglas-Clark (from ENGLAND y'all) on her Spiritual Kitchen Podcast!

I've been really feelin' the camera, + I'm excited to give the world (EUROPE??!!! :))) some more DEBRA! 

p.p.s.  If you've been sittin' on the fence around my new Recipe Book, Retreat Recipes for Yoga Lovers, please purchase this beautiful healing manual// guidebook as a gift to yourself! 
 

Fall is such a great time to cozy up with a pot of wild rice-mushroom soup or kitchari, or some homemade guacamole or perhaps a raw strawberry cake!  Yum yum yum!  Here's what Shiva Rea has to say: 

"Debra's organic cuisine is an extraordinary experience of nutritional ecstasy, whether for a catered meal or a Hot Love [Chocolate] Truffle - this is passionate, life-giving food!"

What Your Fave Childhood Song Says About You

What was your favorite song as a child?

I knew all the words to Whitney Houston's Greatest Love of All + even invited all the neighbors over so I could sing it to them!  ;)

But the songs that have touched my heart lately from my childhood are the epic super-celebrity recording of We Are the World + We All Sing With the Same Voice from Sesame Street. 

From a very young age, I was touched by the themes of Unity, Diversity, + Togetherness.

And these themes went into my recent book, Retreat Recipes for Yoga Lovers, which features different cultural recipes from around the world. 

I also made an effort to include more diverse voices + images in my book, as changing the media is so important in these times.

What were your favorite songs as a child?  Can you see how these themes/ ideas have impacted you now?

Reply + let me know!  ;)

When I was at Agape yesterday, Rickie Byars Beckwith sung a beautiful song called Genesis, which was also all about this theme of going "back to the beginning."  (Yes, I'm in a New Age Gospel Choir. ;))  "I was spinning around till I finally found, that part of me that was always free."  Ahhh, so good!

I also wanted to let you Recipe Book lovers know, that today (Friday September 15th) is the LAST DAY to get a FREE Special Bonus with your Book Order!  ;)

That's right, if you order Retreat Recipes for Yoga Lovers by 11:59pm PST today, Friday, September 15th, you will get to participate in a FREE 2-hour Virtual Recipe Class with ME on Sunday, October 15th!! 

The class will also be recorded.  I'll also be there to answer all your questions about the book!  ;)

How to Use Spirituality to Support Your Business

I had the most amazing opportunity this weekend, to offer card readings to beautiful strangers, at a "bohemian-style" clothing boutique in Beverly Hills! There were so many fun crystals + woman-crafted handbags in the space, it was fun just soaking in all the positive vibes.

But one thing became clear.

Spirituality can support us in every aspect of our lives.

From business, to relationships, to changing our career.

I love working with my Life + Business Coaching Clients to begin from the root. To shed old beliefs + patterns that aren't working anymore. But more so, to develop a spiritual practice.

When you are an entrepreneur, you call the shots. So it is up to you + Spirit, to remain "in the flow" + allow the synchronicities to unfold.

How can you get in the flow??

I recommend daily meditation, journaling, a walk outside, yoga, or another Morning Ritual of your choice.

Ask questions about your business, such as:

"What can I do next?" "How can I align with my goal?" or "Where is the SPIRIT of this business (project) wanting to go/ what is the SPIRIT of this business (project) wanting me to do?"

(Yes, your Business/ Book/ Offering has it's own Energy!)

I found that when tuning into my card reading clients this Saturday, for many it was about developing a daily/ morning practice. Come back to Morning Rituals Playbook + see what works for you....

We are our own Divine Guidance. Make the time + see what shows up.

With so much LOVE,

xo

Debra.

What if you're just Community-Oriented?

What if there was nothing wrong with you?

What if you were just "Community-Oriented?"

What if there was nothing wrong with the Facebook scrolling?

With the getting things done for other people, more efficiently than for yourself?

With the giving away too much?

With not following through on your Action Steps, unless someone holds you to it? Unless you tell someone about it?

What if there was nothing wrong with you at all?

What if you could forgive yourself?

What if you really just need more real, in-person friend dates + heart-to-heart connections?

What if you need more hugs?

What if you really just need a Business Coach? Someone to hold your hand?

What if you are normal, + living in an abnormal world?

And what if this is all okay?

We need each other.

You are never alone.

So Much Love!

Debra.

P.S. I'm having a Book Signing this Monday, April 3rd @ Mystic Journey Bookstore on Abbot Kinney, in Venice (Los Angeles).

How to Turn Challenge into Possibility

Happy Spring Equinox!

I am learning so much about Manifestation and The Art + Science of Creating a Great Life. 2017 was looking like it was going a certain way. The graphs were pointing steadily up, and I was ready to rock it! The Universe was going to support me; no way, no how would I falter from my Vision.

And then the Signs. Signs that it was time to change direction. Dreams at night that were telling. That the Universe would support me no matter what, but not without a fair share of stumbling blocks along the way. Not the normal "Fears" which are a necessary part of growth + change, but more like flags waving. Can you relate?

And then came the Surrender. As Marianne Williamson states, from A Course in Miracles, "Dear God/Universe, Where would you have me go? What would you have me do? What would you have me say? And to whom?" Down on my hands + knees to God. (I know, I don't normally get this religious with you! Didn't know it was in me! ;)) But you know what I mean.... God, Goddess, Creator, My Higher Self. Sometimes you have to go there.

And then something greater came along. Something I never would have chosen. Something beyond my wildest dreams. Something that is EXACTLY WHAT I WAS ASKING FOR.

I don't usually share like this when I'm in the throes of it. But if the impromptu Goddess Circles I've been finding myself in, lately, are telling, it's that you are going through this too.

Someone doesn't approve of you, or so the voices in your head are saying. Someone is telling you that you have to be X, Y, + Z, to succeed. And it isn't resonating with your Soul. Your Soul wants expansion. Your Soul wants to be happy. Your Soul wants to Surrender; Surrender to the Universe, to the Greater Plan.

The Manifestation that happens with Ease, not with Pain + Struggle. (The Universe will support you either way, you know. ;)) The Manifestation that is, surprisingly, and out of the blue, and without a shadow of a doubt, exactly what you've been dreaming, your whole life.

Oh yes, it is YOU. The REAL YOU.

I know, it doesn't normally get this intense in Love + Inspiration Notes. But it feels like that's what time it is. Time to be REAL. I know you get it. ;)

Wishing you the type of Spring Equinox where you release all that no longer serves you, and surrender// rise to your True Self. Remembering who you really are + why you are here. (You came for a reason, you know! ;))

Lots of Love, In-Person Hugs, + Remembering to Camp Under the Stars (and other Important Things),
