Happy 2024, my friend!! To make sure you are ready for 2024, here is some great "pre-flight" advice from one of my mentors...
"Good Morning and Welcome to Flight 2024.
This is your captain, Melanie Ann Layer.
We are prepared to take off into the New Year.
We ask that all carry ons, such as: Regrets from your Past, Mistakes & Fears, be placed under a seat behind you.
Please make sure your Personal Power and Gratitude Attitude are secured and locked in, in the upright position.
This aircraft is a Boeing 20-24 and is equipped with 1 main exit and 2 upper deck exits for every disempowering thought.
All self-destructive devices such as shame, guilt and doubt should be turned off at this time. All blame, hurt, and limiting beliefs should be stowed away.
Should we lose altitude under pressure, during the flight, reach up and pull on gratitude & love, connect to source and breathe in deeply. Once your faith is fully and automatically restored, we then encourage you to assist other passengers in need.
Thank you for flying with me and enjoy the ride!!!"

My current best friends…
My chiropractor told me my adrenals are not happy. My body and mind agree.
Are you in survival mode?
Are you only giving yourself the leftovers?
Do you only pour out without taking care of yourself?
Feeling defeated, exhausted, overwhelmed, like a victim…or a maid?
Adrenals are small almond-shaped organs that sit on top of your kidneys. They maintain and boost your energy, kind of like a car shifting into first, second, and third gear as you go about your day. They also help your body survive during times of stress.
But they aren't meant to always be firing. They are only supposed to jump in as needed, however, too much caffeine, lack of sleep, bottled up emotions, that schedule of yours, hormonal imbalance, your diet, and always pushing yourself to the max can damage them, causing them to wear out, pushing you into ‘survival mode', physically and emotionally.
When the things you are fighting or running from are inside of you, you're truly fighting a losing battle.
