is one based on faith and evidence, which
only comes after faith. The most effective
way you can convince yourself that you
can be trusted is to show yourself. NOTE:
Sometimes, the choices that seem to come
with the worst outcomes are often the
most important lessons you need to learn.
There exists an element of trust, even when
something seems like a mistake. The ability
to trust that a sequence of events is the exact
right circumstance for you, hinges on the
ability to see past the discomfort of it. When
I make a decision based on my intuition, and
it comes with unintended elements; I allow
myself to rest in the moment and to receive
all that the choice and outcomes have to
teach me. If you look quietly, you will begin
to see the growth, the lesson, the purpose.
You will allow yourself to trust.

TEST YOUR INTUITION
I love playing games with myself and testing
the best way to hear my inner voice and how
different things manifest most easily. I would
start with just listening to your intuition about
small things, like which street to turn on for
a great parking spot. The grocery store is
also a fun place to test your intuition. I like
to peruse the aisles and select a sale item

that I generally don’t buy. Then I follow
my inner guidance to pair things with it. In
total transparency, there have been a few
fails in this exercise, but I always keep the
perspective that this is for fun and my inner
guidance was providing me with evidence
that I don’t need to try gefilte fish again. This
exercise has also allowed me to have some
of the most unexpected, really amazing
foods, too, including rambutan. Never heard
of it? Go ahead and Google. On the outside,
ugly, spiny, hairy; on the inside, it is a rich,
fresh and sweet fruit similar to a lychee. Test
it and treat yourself!

HAVE FUN WITH IT
This is always the most difficult part. If you
are emotionally invested in the outcomes
and events, you will inevitably feel some
level of stress. If you just surrender and
allow the universe and your higher self to
guide you, you can give yourself permission
to just be in the present and enjoy the
moment…. Knowing that the exact scenario
is unfolding in the exact right way to support
you. I recently signed up for an event in
Sedona, without knowing anything about the
location, very little about the host and not
one other participant. Just after I made the
reservations, I wondered to myself - what
exactly I was doing. As I settled into the
knowing that I can trust the decisions I make
and my intuition, I discovered that I was
embarking on a life affirming journey into
my own sovereignty. That level of personal
growth would never have been possible if I
was not willing to trust.
