Hello Evolutionary Women,

Time for a life update. (I would love to know more about what is happening with you, too.)

Some of the gifts on this journey:

1. Created a radio show for Valentine's Day called Transform: Loving Yourself When Everything Appears to Be Falling Apart: Rev Andrea Hylen talks about how to love yourself when everything seems to be falling apart. Your job, your home, your business, your health, a loved one, a relationship. It feels terrible. How do you continue to love and nurture yourself?

2. Finally! I moved my website from the one I used when I was homeschooling to a clearer vision of who I am and what I have to offer for money. (I can feel tears welling up when I write those words. This is part of the transition for me. The mom who home schooled and offered everything for free. Teaching groups of children. Organizing events for 100-2,000 people. Counseling and coaching for free. Writing for free. It is time to value all of my skills as being worthy of receiving money.) http://www.opentoinspiration.com There is an area for prayer requests that will remain free.

I will have paypal buttons up there within the next few days for ease of payment for services and products.

3. My daughter has had a leap of growth and is not willing to give up her dream to stay here.

4. My daughter was in a car accident. A friend was driving and they were hit by a drunk driver from the rear. I wrote this to a group of women last night who are in my Gratitude Blessing Circle:

The focus of my life for the past few months has been turning my talents and skills into money earning activities. I have followed the inspiration and lived life according to that guidance, even when I couldn't see the money trail. I am grateful that I have also laughed, found ways to joyfully connect with my daughter and I find the joy in each day.

After Hannah shared the details, I thought about this unexpected moment in our lives. What if Hannah had been killed in that car accident last night and I had been putting off living life with her until I figured out what is going to happen in our living situation? What if I had been living in fear and worry, obsessing over what might happen and had wasted this precious time? What if I had put off making brownies for her on Valentine's day because I was trying to save a few dollars for the future, denying any moments of pleasure?

My blessing for each of us tonight is to stay awake to what is calling to you in each day. To follow the inner and outer guidance. And to live life. Change and transformation is everywhere. Life can change in an instant. Miracles and blessings and transformation. Open to the possibilities.

5. I discovered that California has a backlog with approving the next step of the non-profit I am creating called Heal My Voice: Collaborative projects with women and girl organizations to help them heal from loss, grief and trauma The inspiration came from the book Conscious Choices and watching women step into greater leadership by writing a story. The backlog is another four weeks.

I continue to create sacred space to learn from this opportunity. I send you all blessings of gratitude for holding a space for sharing during this time of change and transformation.

In gratitude, Andrea
