Finding Shannon is a conscious creator of her life. It is my responsibility to share tools for conscious creation so that you can say this about yourself as well. There are 4 elements of health: Physical, Emotional, Mental, Spiritual- all of equal value. I have decided I am getting serious about snowboarding this fall so I have shifted some of my attention to physical health. Because of this, the last month has been incredible, I’ve been going through so much. I did an intestinal cleanse for 4 weeks and got rid of tons of junk! I encourage you to cleanse your body so you can go deep inside and feel a sense of peace, purity and good health!
The cleanse I did got a whole bunch of things out of the way for me, and I feel more like myself than I have in a while! I am having a great time harnessing energy from the universe and reinforcing my goals with it through positive affirmations as well.
Something that is very supportive in getting distractions out of the way is the Comfort Technology Clock. That thing changed my life- who would have thought that you can literally buy peace of mind?! (for about 20 cents a day) Yea.. you can. Lol. What a world we live in http://www.advancedliving.com. (remember, I used to believe I was depressed and had anxiety!) To read about it- then let me know that you want to buy one. My prices are lower and I include coaching sessions when you buy from me. His website has lots of information though.
Soo…I’d like to know where these messages are coming from that cleansing is “bad for you” I think that might be more lies… because cleansing is one of the best things I’ve ever done- and some of the healthiest people I know take time and energy for it. It raises your vitality level, increases your health— “but it’s actually really hard on your body” That’s what I’ve heard… I don’t think so. I really don’t think so. I feel great, I didn’t want to stop cleansing actually- it’s been inspiring excellent food choices and high energy levels, all of this is good.
In the last month of cleansing I’ve been able to make the decision to stop drinking alcohol, for good. (tell me again why cleansing is bad?) I’m done. Hooray. May 23 was the last time I drank alcohol… In retrospect it’s become very clear to me that I have made some pretty life altering decisions through a foggy pair of lenses. Mehhhhh… No more. I’m done with that. Funny thing is, I figured out how to get away from myself and my goals like a champion. Now the focus is to go the other direction. I’m not sure why I decided to go in the other direction in the first place- ohhh wait actually that’s untrue. I know why I went in that direction… I hadn’t defined who I was and what I stood for. Then when things happened that I was uncomfortable with I wasn’t able to stand up for myself in a significant way and then I got swept up into blending in and trying to fit in to what I perceived was going on around me, except it was all going on within me…. ewwwww. I’m so grateful that it’s so easy to change all that. *Anytime you want to point the finger at someone else, just go ahead and turn it right back in and point back at yourself, that is who is creating everything you experiencing!*
I think success comes down to three very simple things that are easily created: self-love, values, boundaries. And then of course.. CREATING YOUR LIFE!! WHAT! YES!! WE ARE SUCH POWERFUL CREATORS!! OHHH MAN!!!! Woohoo!! This stuff makes me wanna party down on some goodness. It really does. It’s taken a while for me to realize what I’d like in my life and I didn’t realize before how enjoyable life could be. I thought that I was supposed to be having drama in my relationships to be someone. hahaha, such a misconception. But guess what, I’m not the only one thinking this way, I’m just grateful that I don’t think like this anymore- and I am doing what I can to support others to invest in themselves (SUCH a mandatory and good decision people) and experience a life where people are thanking you and loving you everyday Yee haw.
A couple suggestions for resources that open your eyes to become the conscious creator of your life:

Finding Shannon is a global role model. Smoke and mirrors and shiny, glittery things- will no longer be getting the best of me.
Alright I’m going to make a confession here:
I haven’t drank alcohol for 2 weeks. Now this might not seem like a big deal but I also haven’t resorted to any other means of intoxication. In addition to that, I am quitting cold turkey, indefinitely. Big move.
Move big. Bigger. Get Big. Expand. Be Large. Enormous. Keep expanding your universe. Rawr…. rawr… yaa…
I’m reflecting on the large number of decisions I have made in my life while mind and mood altering substances have been part of my lifestyle. How interesting. Emotional, life changing decisions in attempt to escape inner pain… hmmm interesting.
It’s really about this:
Time to get honest with myself.
I said when I moved to Denver I wanted to learn to sew better and web design- Guess what. I learned that stuff. Go me. Heck ya! I totally rule. Now time to apply my skills. Get pumped and bring that funk. Out. Funk out. Funk up. Ya baby… get funky!
(Look what happens when you are stuck and putting ideas out there… they turn into OPP! Other people’s property!!)
I used to have a company called Somewear...
Here’s another thing, I am positioning myself after many years of hiding from my power to serve as a global role model. Lol Jeez.. the things that come out of my mouth I tell you. Shannon.. you sure are something else. I mean seriously, who says these things? A global role model.. wow. I must really believe in myself. This is kind of funny to me that I am sitting here saying this to you and I mean it. Wow. So… here’s what role models do.
They live in integrity. They are genuine, authentic and they don’t keep secrets. Well I don’t want to keep secrets from you. I am not going to really say “they” here though. I can only speak for myself.
There is something weird going on in our world for girls. They get the message that they have to hide from their power. Or that they should hide their power from others. Or that it’s not cool to be smart. Or that if they raise their hand with the answer too much in class other people will think they are annoying. Do you know what I’m talking about? Yeah well, do you know how I know? It’s not because a friend of a friend told me.
I’m finished doing that, I am owning up to the power I have within me. I haven’t really ever done my absolute best. Isn’t it refreshing that I am writing a different story now. Oh man, world.. hold on….
Well folks- here’s the deal
I am much healthier now from top to bottom. From inside to outside. For this I am grateful.
I have excellent tools to support my evolution (and yours!!!) in times that can seem confusing.
This video is about my choice to go gluten free and stick with it and a drink called Body Balance which I now sell because it helped me so much. It is made of aloe vera and sea botanicals and it keeps me super healthy!
Leave comments on my video and blog so I know what you are thinking. I just started trying out this video blogging thing- I need feedback my people!
I am looking through photos from the last three years. I am looking for some good photos to put on my new website.
As I look through them, naturally there are many memories.
I am going to be honest about something- Looking through those pictures made me sad about the way I used to think and feel about interacting with other people. There was a group of people that I hung out with for a while after I broke up with my ex-boyfriend and they were all pretty good people, and that blew up and self-destructed. I can only imagine some of the things I have put other people through in this misunderstanding.
There are some photos of my ex and I, and he did care about me. That makes me a little sad about what happened between the two of us..(But he was grumpy in the mornings!! EWWW!)
There are pictures of me and I reflect on the way I was feeling at the time- looking pretty on the outside and feeling empty on the inside. Or filling full temporarily and then freaking out later because I wasn’t full at that particular moment.
And then I look at where I am at now. And I’m grateful for the progress I have made.. but I’m a little fed up with myself- moving around the state of Colorado like it’s fashionable. A lot of time has gone by since I left Breckenridge and I’m done screwing around. Also rather annoying is my choice to take such a significant detour away from my dreams of being a professional athlete. Letting myself create drama to get in the way of my success.. Trying a few different approaches to working with other people in business.. Still feeling like I have a lot to learn.
It just makes me sad and I ask for the forgiveness of those who I have treated poorly. It’s pretty sad really when you are living for things outside of yourself and you have this inner agenda and have relationships based on what you can give and get with a person. That’s not really a solid plan for lasting friendships in my experience. Then what’s also sad still now is letting myself get tricked by old attractions and then feeling the hurt of that pain after I have come so far even though I truly am spending time with people for different reasons. So I have started to be a lot more careful with who I talk to and share myself with.
Look at me now:)
This period of learning that I am going through is such a gift, I am experiencing something that not everyone gets to go through in their lives. It’s also a pretty major reshaping of everything I used to believe and think. (it was more of a lack.. if you can understand what I mean) One of the reasons I have faith in this process is because I didn’t even really used to believe or think anything of substance… so now I get to decide what kind of beliefs and values I’d like to shape my life with and then get to experience the joy of living with that. My former life was a pretty limited existence to be frank with you and my coping skills fell into the same category. This resulted in me BEGINNING a whole lot of projects and dreams and then when I encountered an obstacle I didn’t have the necessary tools to persevere…
Well Thank God that I have them now. And that I can remain humble and aware of the regard I need to hold for myself during this time of emergence I’d love to show you the butterfly shaped pigmentation that formed on my chest over the last year.. it’s really something else….
Finding Shannon wonders Whoa why me, Wow me! I met this nicest woman and skin care specialist last night while we were out celebrating Emily’s birthday! In fact it made the whole evening worth it. Our evening began with a family style dinner at the Golden Shanghai where everyone but Emily’s boyfriend and I ordered meat (I’m telling you guys, there are tons of reasons meat is throwing off your health.. I have not been sick once since I stopped eating meat). Annd… then a big group of us saw Sex and the City 2, and I have to say I wasn’t disappointed! This is cause for celebration, I even enjoyed it.
So onto my story here.. I have decided to stop drinking and sometimes I still end up at a bar or club. It is usually for a special occasion that I would go to one because it’s not really the best use of time for the commitments I have made in my life. But last night we were at a lounge and I was amongst many intoxicated folks. I did however get a chance to connect with a woman named Briana and she was just lovely! We spoke about all the toxic chemicals and pollution in our environment and we had a strong connection. We are going to speaking this next week about EMF pollution and I will introduce her to the Comfort Technology Clock. That brings me back to whoa why me, wow me! It’s a mental process I go through sometimes when I’m reflecting on why the Comfort Technology clock came into my life, why it changed me so much, why because of this I am basically obligated to share it with thousands of others in a very effective way. I feel very lucky, and I’m also attracting all of the right people who are also moved by the technology so that it can be shared in a global fashion. It literally look the majority of suffering out of my life. I can now easily say that suffering from chaotic energy is a choice and you can make the decision not to have sinus infections and colds, not to be irritable for seemingly no reason, to find relief from many allergens, to reconnect with and honour your body, to feel good everyday when you wake up. To make great decisions on a consistent basis, to sleep well, to celebrate our connection to oneness, to be conscious and accountable, to continually re-balance yourSelf. I mean the list goes on and on. You want to sleep better? You can. You want to experience less distraction? You can. You want to have better behaved children and adults (lol)? You can.
Just watch, once you elimante the annoying interference that comes from electro-magnetic fields, you get to recreate a whole new piece of your identity, Literally. It gets pretty difficult to live from your heart with these nasty EMF’s getting in the way. You harmonize them with the Comfort Technology Clock, and bam.. all the sudden your life looks MUCH different. ESPECIALLY, and I emphasize this, IF you are sitting in the drivers seat of your life. The clock is a tool, it will get behind you and offer you support and be like… go team.. go team.. go team… yes, you can do it- you ARE doing it. It’s literally a lil sweet soldier that gets behind you, and all you have to do is plug the stinking clock into the wall. Is that too good to be true or what? Yes? No. Actually it’s not. And One other thing: Once you have the unit- it works.. you don’t have to do a darn thing, you just plug it in- and your life gets better. Uh huh.
It’s amazing, and when you buy it from me- I include 2 coaching sessions to support you to recognize the benefits and implement it into your life immediately. No more sittin around wishin… hopin… prayin… Yes- that stuff is all good, but how about..
Treat and then move your feet! This will help you get unstuck!!

You guys!! This is awesome! I am back on a path of destiny and I have found tons of motivation in this new goal that I have set!
I am meant to be a leader as you probably realize. Where can Shannon apply herself so that she is challenged and people are looking up to her so she can direct them towards more good decisions?!
Finding Shannon is evolving- she’s so Darwin. That’s such a joke by the way.. I can’t imagine how the concept of evolution got boxed into a silly picture of a monkey turning into a human HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA That’s hilarious.
Are you committed to evolving?? Do you ever think about being a part of evolutionary relationships? Oh that’s a cool term isn’t it! My friend and I estimated that 60% of people are in relationships for the wrong reasons. That is kind of bold of us isn’t it? Are we wrong? What do you think? Her examples of some reasons that could be considered “wrong” were- to fill a void, to baby-sit, to be the cook, to be the massage therapist, to be the healer.. etc, etc. John Gray PhD, the author of Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus says that “The real joy of a special, intimate, and committed relationship is the opportunity to share and celebrate the good times, and give to your partner when he or she is in need.”
Sounds pretty drama free doesn’t it…
This is something I wrote yesterday:
It’s fairly solitary here, in this centered and peaceful space
And the purpose of partnering takes on a different form
It’s no longer to fill a hole
Instead, it just becomes sharing joy and meeting one anothers needs.
When I used to write I was so obscure, I would attempt to describe my struggle
And the struggle lay in not being able to be specific.
Ahhh the oblivious (PAINFUL!) bliss of lying to yourself all the time. ["Everytime you suppress, repress, or deny yourself in order to be loved, you are not loving yourself. You are giving yourself the message that you are not good enough the way you are." John Gray PhD]
I find that I still lie to myself about a few things after all this self-awareness practice and men is one of those.
But today I had a realization.
I CAN have a man with looks that I am attracted to
as well as characteristics that I admire and appreciate and who is someone that inspires me
regularly. I can have all that, there is no reason I can’t.
While being respected, cared for and loved and understood.
I certainly CAN stop lying to myself as well, that would be a nice treat.
Like when something isn’t working
or doesn’t feel good.
Just stop.
And don’t fall for the tricks, stay committed to my values and the tricks will fall away.
Keep the walls up at first and then some, and probably some more after that.
There’s nothing wrong with walls, people who want to get over them probably have climbing skills
anyways…
The only true test we have of a person’s character seems to be time.
I like to call this, is a person showing up in a good place on repeated occasions?
When we come together are we creating joy often? (Yeah, that’s a little short-sighted, but I figure it’s a good place to start)
Time is constant too, so we can count on that.
I can also count on getting a lil bit excited when I first meet someone that I click with.
Even though
I have quite the dream-time life of my own.
They say, keep yourself busy.. yea thanks- that’s never been an issue. [how about some more Dr. Gray: “A woman’s responsibility: First, she must communicate her needs and wishes without resenting her partner (I’m very guilty of these resentful feelings.. unfortunately) Second, she must get her needs fulfilled from a VARIETY of sources, and not make her partner the source of her dissatisfaction, or the sole source of her fulfillment.”
I keep hearing from so many places, you have such a big heart.
And now that I honor and cherish the vehicle for it- I’ve had to re-evaluate love as an art.
That’s good, it’s a fine thing to treat it with such regard
And now the idea is to soften up and stop trying so hard.
[insert more John Gray PhD here: When she is centered, a woman has a gracefulness and flexibility that leave a door open for others to have differing beliefs. She uses phrases such as, “it sounds to me like, what I see is, what I hear is, it seems to me that, etc. : Her style of expression reveals that she is open to seeing the value or truth in other points of view.”
I am grateful to have people in my life that value themselves enough to accept the big love that I have to share.

Like I said to my sister in law yesterday- There will always be a lot going on, you have to decide what’s important to you so you can decide what you want to tune into in your life.
