It's been awhile since I've penned a blog post but for some reason (um, intuition?), I felt guided to write tonight. Like all of us, the health and well-being of my family, friends, and the world, is foremost on my mind.
I go through stages of binge-watching the news, and then conversely avoiding it at all costs. I want to know but I don't want to know. Ya know what I mean? I've been self-isolating (minus occasional walks) for eleven days. Here in Flagstaff, I was one of the first to do this among my circle. And the reason is simple—I started trusting my intuition. And listening to spirit. On March 12th, I posted this on my Facebook page: "Folks have asked if I’ve gotten anything intuitively (as an intuitive medium) about COVID-19. The answer is yes. I’m hearing we all have to take this very seriously. If you have lung issues, be especially careful. There are approximately 25 million asthma sufferers in the US alone. (I’m one of those asthma folks and I didn’t want to believe this was real.) It’s a big deal. Spirit is warning us. The Italians are warning us. Be calm but follow all of the instructions. We will get through this with preparedness, compassion, and a helluva lot of time alone in our homes. *For those of you who know my story, or read my book, Jason is one of those spirits sharing these messages." Jason warned me to pay attention. He said, "you know what's coming." And he's right. I do. In the same breath, he told me to slow down my life and concentrate on what is important to me. He said all the other stuff was a distraction. I know exactly what he means. I work three jobs right now--Mod Mom Furniture and the new Frank Lloyd Wright furniture line that we're close to launching, my job at Moonshot at NACET as a marketer, consultant, curriculum developer, keynote speaker traveling around the state, and I'm working on edits (with my agent) on my soon-to-be-published book. Frankly, I'm tired, but also grateful for these jobs. This self-isolation took me from warp speed to snail's speed in one day. I slowed wayyyyyy down. And I started thinking about what I feel most passionate about. Yes, I'm excited about the new line of furniture but my eyes light up when I talk about telling my intuition story, and helping others who are struggling in an abusive situation and/or those who are struggling trying to figure out intuition. Have you had the same kind of revelation? Has the quiet allowed for you to truly hear and see? I know we'll get through this, not without loss, but we will get to the other side. In fact, the "Other Side" is telling me this. And kids on the other side are telling me we'll come together more; help one another more. That's part of the silver lining. I am hopeful that what I'm intuitively hearing about us moving a bit more in June will be what actually happens. At the same time, I'm hearing we'll be dealing with the aftermath (financial and otherwise) of this pandemic until December. I hope that my message brings you a bit of comfort knowing that those you love who are in spirit are watching and helping. (Remember, ask them to help, either out loud or in your head. Ask specific things. They will help!) Just like Jason did for me, they're probably telling you to slow down, too. Allow yourself to feel the things you don't feel when you're going a mile a minute. I'm taking my own advice, I promise. Most importantly, know that we'll get through this. We will. There is an end to this pandemic. Our loved ones in spirit are helping light the way.

A lovely friend recently asked me, "Holli, how are you staying so calm during this?" Without hesitation I responded, "Because I have endured so much trauma in my life, it is a natural instinct and survival skill to turn inward, to be still, and to listen to the spiritual voices and internal messages which guide me." At the same time, I realize that response is not everyone's. Most of us are guided by external sources of influence or impact. I encourage others to use this time to pause and to spend time in quiet reflection, or prayer, or meditation. Calming our minds not only settles our spirits but it also strengthens our whole being.

I agree 100% with your statement, "I want to know but I don't want to know." I do the same with the news and website articles its become information overload. This pandemic has brought the world to a screeching hault and through the hurt and pain many good things will come from this global reset. I do hope what your saying people will come together more after this is over. Life is precious and vauling it more is needed. I have recently read several of youe blogs and found very insightful and informative. Thank you

Thank you, Frank. I'm glad you've found what I'm sharing helpful! I know we'll get to the other side of this, and we'll be stronger for it. Stay safe and healthy, and thanks for reaching out!
