It’s April 2009.  My senses are flooded with a particularly magnificent springtime in Marin County, California.  At the same time, Lucid Living is bursting with new life.

It’s almost hard to believe we are in our 10th year. Reflecting on all we have created propels me to a deep sense of gratitude.  I want to begin this, my first blog, by speaking directly to the Lucid Living students who have made these ten years possible.  This blog will be longer than normal, but I have much to say (what a surprise!).

I find myself thinking of all the fun we have had together on our sacred journey, how much we have learned, and how we have truly changed.  Your willingness to pioneer a new, living spirituality motivates me every day.  You have chosen to look beyond the illusion to seek genuine responsibility for all of your reality.  Especially in these times, where the illusion of the physical world can seduce you to shrink and make choices from fear, you are courageously crafting a luminous future and trusting yourselves to make it real.  You inspire me!

Thank you so much for the opportunity to love you.  It is a privilege to participate in your growth, to get to serve you on your spiritual path.  It allows me to express my deepest passions of teaching, healing, loving and exploring the deep mysteries of the sacred.  Together we are co-creating something magnificent, the impact of which we may never fully know.  But we will feel it and it will be real.

I also want to thank my beautiful partner, Jeanine Mancusi.  At some point I will write about our journey of co-creating Lucid Living.  For now, I will simply say that Jeanine was my very first student. Along with dear Keri and Rick, she asked me to create a pilot program to share the metaphysics I knew to support their coaching work.  That little teleclass was the beginning of Lucid Living.  Two years later, Jeanine became my full partner in this business.  For the last eight years, we have created and led programs together.  It has been joyful every step of the way.

Lucid Living is a celebration of the magic and power of choosing a path of love.  It has taken us places we could never have imagined.

As we pause to celebrate how far we have come, we are ready to take another giant step into the Unknown.  Lucid Living is on the verge of exciting growth and change.  At this pivotal time in our collective spiritual awakening, we want to respond to the world’s hunger for understanding and for tools that actually work.  We’re excited to share our plans for expansion and invite you to be a part of it.

Here’s what we have planned:

1.  We are creating a new web site.  Beyond the description of our programs and services, we will offer an interactive place to work magic. It will be a touchstone for connecting with the More Real, and a place to lift your resonance.  Also, in addition to a lot of free recordings and samples, you will have a student ID with special access to additional materials based on the products and classes you have previously taken.  It will be like having your own “Magic Locker” on our virtual campus.

2.  We are launching web-based programs for people who want to study with Lucid Living without attending classes.  We know there are many people interested in doing this work who cannot travel to California for five weekends in one year.  We will offer a catalogue of downloadable recordings and workbooks to cover the core content and special coaching programs to support our “independent study” participants.

3. As previously announced, fabulous new leaders will be teaching the in-person Lucid Living Program in 2010 as Jeanine and I focus on these programs and designing new residential retreats.  We will also be expanding the leaders for teleclasses and group coaching programs.

4.  This blog will be a place to catch up on the latest news from Lucid Living and hear our perspective on events in the world so you can elegantly navigate the chaos as our world is changing.  We invite your comments so we may engage in juicy discussions together.

It’s a really exciting time for us as we grow to meet the future we envision.  Many of you will be eager to participate in this expansion, and we will be in touch soon about ways to get involved.

Thank you for your personal commitment to your spiritual path and your passion for Lucid Living.  I’m thrilled to be on this extraordinary adventure with all of you.
