My Yellow Summer!

One year I wore yellow every day for the entire summer and got dozens upon dozens of people to wear yellow, too. It all started when I got my nails painted yellow. I branched out and tried something new. It turned out to be more than just a fad, I created a movement. Friends from across the USA and other countries sent me pictures of them wearing yellow. We wore hats, shoes, shirts, jackets, and jewelry...all the color yellow.

At the time, I didn't know yellow was associated with the Solar Plexus Chakra or, as I like to say, your internal sun. I was still learning to love my life and awaken the light within me. Years later, I learned the Manipura charka or navel chakra's energetic function optimizes one's personal power so that one can navigate one's life with strength and determination. This is what I was doing! I was stepping into my power by wearing yellow.

I created an ebook, Mapping the Chakras, that gives you more details and information on the seven main chakras. If you want to learn more, my favorite book to share with beginners is Chakra Balance: The Beginner's Guide to Healing Body and Mind.

Oh yeah, here's the link to the YouTube show I was on, What's Trending Now.

I have loved Whitney Houston since I was 15 years old. In fact, I saw her in concert right before I turned 16 in 1985. She was so beautiful and her voice was like nothing I have ever heard. She was my idol. Fast forward to circa 2002 when VH1's Divas Live was a big deal and Whitney was a part of their shows. I was offered a chance to go to Las Vegas to see her in concert but I didn't because my middle school-aged daughter was performing in her school's The Walk Through Time, a US History event that same weekend. Then ten years later when Whitney died, my daughter said something profound to me.

I had been sweating the small stuff because I wanted to be the best mother for my children. I didn't want to miss an event and did all that I could to be at everything. But what they really needed was to show me enjoying my life and sometimes choosing me over their activities.

Healing our root chakra, re-parenting ourselves, and showing, not just telling, our children how to live full lives are the takeaways I want you to have from this episode.

Hey there, Dawn here! I am so excited about this new venture of creating and producing a podcast. In this first episode, I share the story of 3 changes I made in 2012 to love my life again. I hated my life and said it all the time. However, I didn't know the words I was saying contributed to my unhappiness, so I changed my words. Then I made two more changes that put into motion the life I desired to live. Listen up to find ways to find happiness, wholeness, and freedom by making three simple but profound changes.
