The "Claim Your Happiness" candle giveaway

"Words are powerful; use them wisely." My teacher said that exact phrase to me many years ago, and it stuck. Words mean something - they carry energy - and when you speak or write them down, it's like a little birdie carries the sentiment right to the Universe's Great Door and says "this is what She wants" or "this is what He asked for." Unfortunately, we often write down or speak words that align more with what we don't want than what we do. I'll stop short of giving you a crash course in The Secret (which is based on quantum physics) but let's just say ... if you're talking or thinking all the time about what's not serving you, I'd recommend you stop. Like now. And forever. You attract what you focus on.

In that spirit, I've decided to create and offer a gift to you in celebration of my transition to San Francisco on January 11, and in honor of the fact that I know many of you are in transitional spaces as well. In those moments, fear can take over. I'll be honest - Fear has had me in her grips more than once lately. She released that grasp around my waist when I began to focus on love, on happiness, on the future, on my purpose and vision. I invite you to do the same. Speak it out loud. Write it down in the full moon light this weekend. Let the birdies take your words to the Great Door.

I made this candle, below, to give away to one of you. It's called the "Claim Your Happiness" candle and it's designed to help you say OUT LOUD what will facilitate your happiness so you can claim it. With authority. Like it's been there all along. Because it has. Happiness isn't a privilege; it's your divine right.

The candle is wrapped with a custom happiness oil blend I made that's a mix of vanilla, citrus and honey. It has a citrine inside as well as crushed white sage leaves and rose petals, a little yarrow for releasing negativity and even some mullein for courage. It's a potent candle, and it has been made with love. To enter the drawing, all you must do is comment on this post. Write about what you intend to claim if you win. Start articulating it here and now. The winner will be chosen by magical means. These giveaways always end up in the hands of those who are meant to receive them at this time. The winner will be selected at noon on Tuesday, January 10.

Ready? Set, go. And thanks for stopping by. Many HAPPY blessings to you!

  2. Beautiful. My intention for this year is to fall in love with myself. To nourish, support, love, adore, and appreciate myself the way I desire from a lover, a partner. By learning to love myself the way I need to be loved, I open the door and the path for my love, my partner, my equal to find me. This is what I claim.

  4. This sounds like the perfect candle for what my life needs. If I don't win, any chance you can make another just like it for purchase? I have so many changes that need to occur and a little mystical help I think is in the cards. This will be a year of putting myself as a priority but I usually fail miserably at that task. Try try try needs to be will will will :)
