There are no accidents... You have to go through it to get to it. Stop looking out the window at your challenges and start looking in the mirror. Leave drama for the dramatic, share your victories to inspire others. Vulnerability and Transparency is when you will stand in your power. Acceptance, Being Passive, and Having a Soft Heart Does NOT mean you have to be a doormat. We've trained people how to behave in our presence. You want to complain? 1. The problem will stay with you 2. You will attract other complainers. If you are challenged in a specific space in life, reach out to someone that can help you...we all can use a little help and there are special people willing to do so. You don't have to DO more to experience more...Minimize to Maximize...Less is MORE. Acknowledge all that is showing up in your life for what it is...an opportunity to grow If you keep trying to be all things to all people you will end up being nothing to no one.Those people that don't support you? They are NOT your people.

We find out what we are truly made of in our darkest of days. Kristine Peacock was married with 3 little girls, her youngest was just 7 weeks old and life was moving along as planned...then in a moment everything changed. Her husband became ill with cancer and soon after passed away. A single mom with 3 little girls and her life turned upside down. Kristine turned tragedy into triumph...a brave soul moving forward following her passion in life while setting a great example of strength and perseverance for her little girls. This is truly a special woman with an amazing story that will fill your heart with hope through any situation you encounter.

7 1/2 years ago I started a personal journey inward. Through that time much has been shared with me generously by my teachers and guides...and to this day I continue to do that work, guided, and most important, share. Here are some of those guiding principles that have supported my growth and the growth of those I have been fortunate to work with over the years.

We continue to look outward for our solutions when all we need is within. We are experience junkies chasing the noise and fillers of society that give us temporary joy…we experience the momentary high…yet without a centering and rhythm with self we revert back to form of our current space in time that lacks fulfillment .

My past created my actions. Homeless, abandoned, and dead broke! And to think I'm just getting started with so much more to come. A powerful and moving interview of commitment, values, principles and love with my good friend Miguel Aguilar

I woke up January 1st this year certain that I was seeking more. I was looking for answers and questioning what I had already learned. I had found a place of unbalance and was in need of changes that would facilitate a path to a better me. I am grateful that I was introduced to Interrupt The Pattern and took the journey of Coaching with Jon Cheplak. The experience has forever changed my landscape. I continue on an unwavering path doing this work of which Jon is an exceptional facilitator of. I am forever grateful for the experience and look forward to serving and supporting others seeking their own changes.

One thing you can count on in life is that everything changes. We like to think that everything in our lives will remain the same and we are very uncomfortable most times when things do change.

There is a certain kind of comfort in your pattern. Whatever it is, your pattern serves you by keeping you from feeling or facing something you would rather not feel.

If you enter into conflict correctly, you will come out of it having learned something more about yourself and the other person. Often times you will come to understand that you are not always angry about what you think you are angry about. Look for the pearls of wisdom.....

Journaling is an exercise in being heard. When we allow ourselves to hear what we feel we now deal with it. Journaling creates a new rhythm for self to face things safely.

We have all experienced anger. Anger is a human emotion; some deny it, suppress it, ignore it, avoid it, and run from it. Others express it freely when ever they feel it, slamming doors, making unkind gestures, yelling, breaking things, even causing physical damage. But what is Anger all about?

Once you become aware, doing the work becomes the challenge no matter how many self-help books you have read seminars you have attended or counseling sessions you have had, the application of new concepts, or, new ways of being into your life becomes the challenge.

I believe everything we do in life comes from one of two emotions; Love or Fear. If you examine your past and present experiences, thoughts, actions and doings you will come to realize whether you are acting out of fear or out of love.

One of the biggest obstacles of change is the shame we feel for what we have done, are doing or experienced in our life.

Ego and its outward actions are an expression of lack, low self-esteem, and our inner child seeking that love and attention we so badly desire and in some area of our life, did not receive or are not receiving today.

Affirmations are thoughts, words or phrase that are constantly repeated until they enter the unconscious ind and become a part of your programming.

The Law of Affirmation states that you bring about what you affirm. Affirm that you are who you really want to be. You will become it sooner than you think.

Visualizations can come into our reality if your minds accept this as a possibility. However, when we feel undeserving or afraid, we try to force our dream into reality. Metaphysically, we are able to create whatever we may desire.

Adapting a positive perspective changes negative though-forms to positive ones. Using positive affirmations is a way to achieve a positive attitude and frame of mind.

When we are trying to please others or to get the approval of others, we are wearing a mask, the "ego mask", it is an undercover selfishness. The ego mask covers up our authentic self, donning this mask says, on every level, "who I authentically am is not good enough for the world", this statement could not be farther from the truth.

Only a person who risks is free.

Exploring your own personal darkness is very important, as it holds the key to true balance. It is your other half.

The law of request teaches us to ask when our souls are ready, with clarity and intention. It is our personal responsibility to ask for the things we need in our lives.

Your perception of me is a reflection of you. My reaction to you is an awareness of me.

Time is not linear. Your mental state changes your perception of time. Size also depends on perception. When we are children everything seems much larger than they do when we are adults. Everything is based on our personal perception as our truth.

Every time we focus on something we are 'calling' it towards us. With our thoughts and beliefs we invite people, situations, experiences, and material things into our life. When they arrive, if we do not really want them, we try to push them away.

When you are totally clear about what you want, everyone picks up your message and responds accordingly. Lack of clarity ties up psychic energy and keeps you in confusion. Clarity frees you to move forward and opens new doors of opportunity.

The Universal Law of Abundance: To really live basked in the flow of abundance one must understand the energetic vibration of "give and take". The more we allow ourselves to receive, the better we feel inside. Then, when feeling full and content within, we are genuinely able to nurture others.

The Universal Law of Intention: When your intentions are noble and honorable, even if your plan does not come to fruition, you will be rewarded for the purity of your ideals. It is the intention that signals the rightness (or otherwise) of an idea or project.

The Universal Law of Challenge: We are not to accept all that we see, hear or believe. Our aim is to discern what is right for us, and challenge what we feel is not right for us.

The Universal Law of Attraction: To better understand the law of attraction, see yourself as a magnet attracting onto you the essence of that which you are thinking and feeling. And so, if you are feeling fat, you cannot attract thin. If you are feeling poor, you cannot attract prosperity and so on.

The Universal Law of Karma: By the law of karma all energy returns to us. When positive energy returns to us we see positive things come into our lives. When negativity returns to us, it returns to seek resolution. It is an opportunity for us to make things right and transform the energy to positive.

In our lives we experience one aspect of life, then it's opposite. The more we choose to explore one extreme, the further from the center we move. Then we must go the other way to understand it's opposite.

The Universal Law of Attachment: You can have anything you want in life - but if your sense of self-worth or your happiness depends on having it, then you are "attached" to it. Whoever or whatever you are attached to can manipulate and control you.

The Universal Law of Miracles: Genuine forgiveness and love are divine energies which allow miracles to happen. Miracles are a natural result of the activation of higher energies.

The Universal Law of Prosperity: Prosperity, if you believe that you don't deserve prosperity then you can not expect to receive it. We draw from the Universal pool according to our consciousness. You either have a poverty consciousness or an abundance consciousness.

The Universal Law of Success: Success comes to us when we get the energy correct. To succeed clear out the physical, mental, and emotional clutter you can not succeed if you don't know where you are going.

The Universal Law of Faith: Faith is a quality of such high frequency that it transcends the lower laws and makes the impossible possible. Faith allows miracles to take place. Faith takes away fear.

The Universal Law of Projection: Projection, all aspects of ourselves are reflected back to us. All that we perceive outside self is a mirror of something within Therefore everything that we see outside is a projection.

The Universal Law of Grace: Grace is is a divine dispensation of mercy, it dissolves Karma, creates miracles, and can change matter. We can evoke Grace to create change, however we must be ready to receive it.

The Universal Law of Responsibility: Responsibility, the ability to respond appropriately to a person or situation, challenges are sent by the Universe to gauge or check how you respond to each situation.

The Universal Law of Gratitude: Gratitude is giving thanks from your heart, when you do this energy flows from your heart and activates certain responses from other people as well as the Universe. Heartfelt gratitude is the key to abundance it unlocks the great resources of the Universe.

The Universal Law of Flow: Flow, we live in a Universe comprised of energy, nothing is static everything moves and changes. If something is full nothing new can be put into it, to allow new you must let go of the old.
