Goodbye Dr Doty and rays of light to keep us going
Darlings,
Dr. Jim Doty died. He is an author who wrote two beautiful books weaving science with heart-filled magic. His work benefited both my life and the lives of countless clients that I've worked with. Especially, his summary of the neuroscience of manifestation led to fruitful, exciting progress for myself and others.
I hope he felt held and beloved on this earth. He helped so many.

May we each make one step today toward a kinder world. and yes, being kinder to yourself counts! Our work and efforts will ripple out in ways we cannot know.
Here’s a few things that brought me joy this week:
