What if this year, you created your own personal season of Lent?

A time to blossom + awaken yourself to a pleasure-filled life.

In 2009, during the 40 days leading up to my 40th birthday, I was audacious enough to create what I now refer to as K’ent — aka: Kerrie’s Lent. I set aside time for introspection. Time to slow down and start noticing my surroundings + my results. I began asking myself daily questions: If I believe X to be true, is that how I’m living my life? Can I take myself higher by focusing on my own needs, first? What if I was thankful for everything that showed up?

The results of that experiment lead to the most fabulous birthday celebrations I’ve ever experienced! People flew in from all over the country to help me ring in the new decade. And instead of wondering how I would ensure everyone else was having a good time (which I normally would have done), I focused on my pleasure. I articulated exactly what I wanted: Dinner at Rum Jungle, Drinks & Dancing at Eye Candy, a Spa day, plus a party at the tattoo parlor. Not only were my desires met, miraculously, the more fun I had, the better time everyone else had, too!

Fast forward to 2012. With 3 years of K’ent under my belt and 25K miles of solo-travel adventures + pleasure research logged, I knew I had to share this magical time frame and the lessons I’d learned. So, I launched the 40-Day Feel Good Challenge teleclass with an intimate group of woman. They took my strategies and put them to the test. Happily, they gained similar results.

Here’s an example from Elizabeth Vagianos of Hera Sports Media…

Now, it’s your turn! The Spring 2013, 40-Day Feel Good Challenge is open for enrollment. Just think, struggling could be a thing of the past. Awaken to the fullness + beauty of YOU… all in 40 days! Register, today.

Please note: After careful consideration, I chose to limit the class to 10 game-changing women. Why ten? I want to provide maximum intimacy and generate a cozy feeling. I want you to feel cradled in the comfort of sister-hood, as you begin to explore your divinity with all the gifts it contains. I want you to have permission + freedom to ask all your questions and have the resources to get them answered. I want these 40 days to change your life!

It takes two to make a thing go right. It takes two to make it outta sight.

Hit it!

I wanna rock right now. I’m K Blaze and I came to get down.

I’m not internationally known. But I’m known to rock the microphone…

This weekend I had the pleasure of interviewing Emelie Archer, Paradigm Igniter extraordinaire! Listen in as the two of us talk all things permission + pleasure. Emelie will give you insight into The Forbidden Life and share her personal tips for getting into your element.

At first, I thought they were saying, “You BIG dummy!”

Brave didn’t sound at all like a compliment.

It sounded more like a warning. Maybe I was making a mistake!?!

Then I realized, I’m doing something that would scared the crap outta most people!

They don’t think I’m stupid. They think I’m courageous.

I LOVE the definition of courageous!

NOT the Webster’s definition: Not deterred by danger or pain.

Danger and pain scare the crap outta me, too!

But, the original definition of courage…

Based on the Old French corage, meaning “heart and spirit.”

Author and professor, Brené Brown claims courage is:

“To speak one’s mind by telling all one’s heart.”

Traveling around the country has been ALL about telling with my heart.

Living from a space of vulnerability.

Today, I’m in Spokane, Washington

Visiting with my new friend, Carla Blazek.

We share the same name, but never met. Unless you count Facebook.

I like to count Facebook, by the way.

It’s responsible for a LOT of goodness along this journey!

Like meeting a kindred-spirit who shares your name + philosophy on life.

Carla said she’s been asking herself, “What would I do if I wasn’t afraid?”

Turns out, she’d start a crowdsourcing project to fund her DREAM:

Photograph Disappearing Montana. <— check it out!

She’s already raised $1010 of her $1800 goal.

I have a feeling she’ll supersede that!

It’s just what happens when you’re courageous.

When you let your HEART do the talking.

What would YOU do if you weren’t afraid?

Would you sell all your stuff and travel around the country?

Would you give yourself over to your life’s passion?

Would you decide to finally settle down and start a family?

Would you join me in my 40-Day Feel Good Challenge?

Would you take a Leap? Risk? Chance?

Listen to your heart.

She alone knows the depth of your soul.

In the stillness of night or the light of day — remember to slow down.

She usually speaks in Whispers. Longings. Yearnings.

And after 20,000 miles, she’s never lead me astray.

Got Fear? Be Courageous!

I’m chiming in from Salt Lake City, tonight.

Yep, I know… It’s been awhile.

As you may have gathered, I’ve been grieving.

Grieving the loss of my beloved mother.

However, I’m no newbie to this grief thing.

My dad died in 1996. His parents 2001.

My cousin died at age 16 in 1999.

And usually, as if there was a usual way, I’m wracked with grief.

Sobbing. Paralyzed. Distraught.

This time was was noticeably different.

Instead of thinking about grief, I moved the feelings through my body.

Dancing. Twirling. Shaking.

I gave myself space. Lots of W-I-D-E open spaces.

Space, along with permission.

Permission to cry. Or sleep. And sometimes laugh.

I allowed myself to slow down and honor.

Honor my memories. My moods. My mother.

And then one day — I felt better.

Better than usual.

Almost as if through my mother’s death, I was being born.

On a long drive through Texas, I contemplated the phrase: Born Again.

What does it mean to be born again?

Is it the rising Christ-consciousness within an individual?

Is it the choice of seeing with new eyes?

Is it being transformed by the renewal of your mind?

I may never know…

However, I am DECLARING that I’m renewed.

Newly facing the world, completely untethered.

Newly getting back on the horse and riding high.

Newly exploring transparency.

And soon, I’ll be celebrating.

Celebrating one year of life on the road!

Celebrating at the World Domination Summit in Portland, Oregon!

Celebrating the launch of my first tele-class, The 40-Day Feel Good Challenge!

The grieving process is often done in the shadow of night, but not this time.

I’m bringing the dark into the light.

Death is necessary for LIFE.

Decomposers. Consumers. Producers.

With every cycle, we eventually find ourselves back at the beginning.

So as we ebb and flow, fall and climb, renew and celebrate,

I remind you of this simple truth:

“…whether or not it is clear to you,

no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.” 

- M. Ehrmann

Sleep well. Stay tuned.

Hope you can still hear me. I’m pretty sure you can. Do you find it strange that I feel closer to you now, more than ever? Probably not.

You wouldn’t believe how many people have said, “I’m happy for you, Kerrie!” I bet not many people get to hear those words during their time of grief. But you know what —  inside the endless sorrow, I’m happy, too, Mom.

I’m happy we healed our hearts.

I’m happy I learned to love you without limits.

I’m happy you were able to transition peacefully in your sleep.

I’m happy I can walk through this sea of pain, and still smile.

Thank you for showing me the simple joys in life: generosity, smiling, and acknowledging small victories.

Thank you for sharing your world with me, Mom. In hindsight, I wouldn’t have done it any differently.

Thank you for telling me that you felt all your prayers were answered.

I’m honoring you, by continuing to follow my happiness.

I’m having a beautiful goodbye party for you — fried fish and bingo, included!

I’m slowing down and savoring life’s tender moments.

I’m sending you love…

Always,
Kerrie

“When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth
you are weeping for that which has been your delight.” 
- Kahlil Gibran

The energy you spin is quite an intoxicating cocktail.

Feeding me — body & soul. And although we’ve parted ways, I’m still drinking you in.

Playing. Ebbing. Flowing. Dancing + delighting in your beauty. Mesmerized by your delicous darkness.

The highest of the highs and the deep richness of the lows.

Together we stood boldly, our power multiplied by the sacredness of sisterstood.

Forever will I be in awe…

xoxo,

Your Sis
