Springtime means rebirth, new growth, and a new slate. It's really just a state of mind, but that's everything. Your life can be altered and manifested with intentions. You are a sovereign being. Pull back your energy and sense of self from anyone and any circumstances that do not serve, build, or love you. Cut any cords with draining people. Literally envision cords going into your heart or other area of your torso that seem to disappear a foot or so into the space in front of you. Feel within to whom or what these cords are connected. Take scissors, your two fingers, or other implement and make the motions of cutting them. Acknowledge that you have cut this connection. You may ascertain that it needs to be done multiple times to completely sever the link, but know with a couple of actions that it is done without question. With intention and visualization, stick the cut ends coming toward you into the ground so they are anchored elsewhere, and pull golden healing Light of Love into your body to seal and heal the damage. This first step helps lead you to begin your understanding and self-forgiveness for the reasons you were vulnerable to all that in the past. This is addressing your shadows--we all have them. This shadow work and healing will elevate your vibration, your sovereignty, and your self-love. This will make it harder for others to intentionally or unintentionally cord with you and drain your life force energy. That energy is the essence of you. It's currency. It's extremely valuable. Others feel it and can steal it for themselves--increasing their own vibrancy and life abundance, while depleting yours. Once you've realized this realm exists, addressed your vulnerabilities, and put up shielding around your emotional and energetic fields, you are moving back to the sovereign being you were when your entered this world as an infant. Ask God, the Divine realm, or whatever you call the One Source for support and loving protection. There are additional ways to strengthen oneself, which I will address in another post. The stronger your inner Light shines and the more loving and compassionate life you live, the more magnetic and attracting you become to these weaker, greedy, or wounded souls. Some of these draining people may be affected by darker entities, which connect easily to lower vibrational, weaker, or afflicted humans, and life force energy fuels them. Dangerously incognito, many of these people have polished their nice person masks over many years. Do not be hard on yourself for initially falling for these charming chameleons who seem helpful, innocent, or mirroring you as a soul mate. A clue is that often they do not live up to what they've promised--only a weak version to keep you hanging onto the relationship. Emotional reactions by you make your energy even more enticing--so, work on being grounded. This magnetic attraction toward you is a catalyst for significant lessons about growing your Light and protecting your sovereignty. You will keep getting stronger and more aware...more able to quickly see and cut these people out of your circle; more able to attract and allow in those who genuinely want you to thrive. I believe you will develop deeper discernment about others as you heal and grow in self-love--and I believe this healing makes ones' life brighter and opportunities more abundant. You are an amazing and unique being with Divine support, many gifts, and a deep well of love within. Feel your strength. Protect your currency, and know you are meant to shine. I truly see you.

Love...the most powerful force there is. Happy Mother's Day 2025! I turn on my spotlight to illuminate all those of loving, nurturing hearts. I especially honor all the unsung kindness and countless private experiences these burnished warriors of love manifest, endure, relish, heal, teach, comfort, protect, and guide with hope in every kind of circumstance. With wry and knowing smiles, loving grandparents often watch from the background as a first grandchild alters their child's life. New parenting seems to bring a mind-bending revelation--an unexpected deeper respect for their own parents' loving commitment to nurture and care; a spark of knowing that rises in the gut milliseconds before being named in the head; a transcendent gift dropped into the heart. Clouded by a new world of joy, self-doubt, round-the-clock child care, and health concerns, that transformational awareness almost seems to circumvent the typical cycle of life lessons. Love changes everything, and it is glorious. Jeannette Bondurant©2025 Photo: The Child's Bath by Mary Cassatt, 1893 COPYCAT / FRAUD: I deeply appreciate my clients and potential client inquiries.

I've been asked to write about my perspective regarding targeted lies, cryptic statements or elaborate alternate stories of one's life, and outright slander. So, this is for your consideration--just food for thought. It has been said that when people make up stories about you and recruit others to spread them, it's to create or regain a feeling of power or control over you. From what source do the emotions of jealousy and defensiveness spring? I suggest that the power equation over which they obsess may have manifested because they cannot control or even understand their feelings of inadequacy, brokenness, or perhaps their deepest secret--that they are unworthy of being loved at their core. If you elevate your life with success or step away from imbalanced relationships, do others act envious and angry, or abandoned? In my perfect world, a correlation wouldn't exist. That reactive defensiveness must be a heartbreaking state in which to live. It seems, despite their chronological years, they may have stopped emotionally evolving beyond a childhood set point when a hurtful, spirit-shattering epiphany formed in their tender hearts--ranging from what an adult might consider a minor hurt to nearly drowning in childhood abuse. There are no rules about heart wounding, especially for the very young...those with delicate tiny arms reaching for a comforting hug, unconditional grins of joy, unexplored expectations for loving care and bright days. As I see it, in adulthood, professional accomplishments are not on the same life parallel with one's emotional growth, although the latter certainly can affect the former. Though potentially mismatched, they paradoxically coexist. As many of us have seen, some colleagues, friends, family members, and public figures can lash out as if they were unprotected fearful nine-year-olds seeking to self-soothe through harming others. Childhood wounding or skewed imprinted beliefs, for some, can take lifelong healing pursuits to resolve, balance, and achieve a level of inner peace. Terms for this include inner child work, shadow work, and re-parenting the little child. Ultimately, they all strive to improve mental health, relationshipping, and, at the core, self-love and self-worth. There's no mistake, gossip is a form of bullying. Despite many feeling pain from these traveling stories, I believe that love can prevail, whether it manifests outside or grows inside. Have faith. Expect patience. Take a deep breath. Get your footing. Assess if it truly matters what a particular group of people believe...it will vary for everyone in each instance. Will your response be emotional and defensive to continue a power drama--fueling their skewed desires for conflict, or from a higher untriggered perspective--perhaps to balance or restore legal or professional concerns when it hits a threshold of malice? Their stories are not your truth, nor the life you are creating in every moment--what you think; how you love yourself; how you express your lifeforce and gifts. It is not your job to heal your offenders, even if it is a loved one. That is their work when they are ready. Our Light is already seen by others, and, first and foremost, it is our honorable mission to tend that magical core of self. I recall a verse familiar to many, "for whatever one sows, that will he also reap." I believe with every fiber of my being that Divine Justice--AKA karma--is real, and literally no one is beyond it, whether they believe in it or not. I've often seen the wonderment of it happening, experienced it personally, and read extensively about its effect upon the lives of others. This likely means that a higher realm sees everything and plans equal emotional lessons for the harm caused that may impact the offenders on multiple levels at the same time. I suggest that Divine Timing means the wait is longer than you often hope, because Spirit lovingly gives each of us several opportunities to self-reflect and self-correct before the hammer comes down. If you want to watch the public drama, please do so with emotional detachment. One may or may not play a role in the growing awareness or revelation of truth; however, truth always rises. I wish you all love and strength. So, wake up with joy for your day and your life. Count your blessings, keep a gratitude journal, or upon seeing first light, feel and acknowledge the support around you seen and unseen--the third one is my go-to. I believe you are loved at an immense depth that you may not yet see, and that protective power can be beyond breach. My parting suggestions for dealing with the arrows of the damaged: Act in integrity. Use discernment and seek higher guidance. Do not step into their world of drama. And, stay in gratitude--it is true power.--Jeannette Bondurant©2025 Photo: jhenning, Pixabay CLARIFICATIONS/FRAUD: I deeply appreciate my clients and potential client inquiries.

Glancing over my shoulder, I see my trail of iridescent golden disks along the graveled path. Did I value them enough as they marked the days? With unflinching regularity they fall, whether I loved them or tried to delay their offerings. Time passed either way this year. With only a couple of spins around the pole, my pockets will, again, be bursting with shiny new opportunities, refreshed dreams, and hopes for delicious adventures in 2025. Our revered and symbolic January First inexplicably touches a special nerve—a visceral reaction within the gut; a mind-body conjunction that seemingly dares us to believe in new beginnings and, perhaps, forgiveness of things left undone, unhealed, unmet, unclear. Yes, a chance for forgiveness in wanting everything we experience to be absolute, controlled, and making sense to us and for the anger, shame, or other related emotions when control never manifested. We all know “it’s the journey, not the destination,” and we naturally strive for understanding and management of our unfolding story. Astute observation and the wisdom of experience enable many of us to effectively steer our ship on calmer seas, but in storms, no single human is truly in control. Fear often can take over if our focus is on controlling rather than embracing and riding out the lesson. Hopefully we gain insight, greater depth of character, and profound new experiences. I suggest letting fear only be a momentary catalyst for reassessment of your perception. Stop your brain chatter. Take a deep breath. Pivot. Go deeper. What is the POV of others in my story and why? What is my treasured life lesson here? I believe that experiencing life through a heart perspective rather than holding on for absolute control will soften and shorten lessons. I’ve discovered new emotional awareness more quickly in that state. Some of those disks behind me do not shine as brightly as the others, and I want to work on that. My goals in 2025 are to keep my heart open to more consistently manifest my dreams; to love and understand as deeply as possible the people and events around me; to remind myself and others that we benefit by embracing our lessons; and, finally, to be grateful for everything--Divine Gifts, loved ones, my experiences, and the opportunity to shape outcomes. Wishing everyone a marvelous New Year. --Jeannette Bondurant © 2024 Photo: FelixMittermeier, Pixabay This content is copyrighted and cannot be reproduced or copied in part or in full without permission.

It was a typically hot Beijing summer. I felt an undeniable thrill of danger and an absolute fascination as I wandered through a cloisonné sweatshop. Watching out for bits of copper slivers everywhere--and winding through twisty passages, unavoidably brushing hips and shoulders with running machinery--I marveled at women placing those curvy bits of copper onto metal pots and vases with tweezers, then blowing colored enamels through gorgeous silver airbrush tubes. Flowers and figures were magically brought to life within a crazy quilt of textured copper. Insanely fast. Minutely detailed. Remarkably perfect. It was sheer artistry in a space of cluttered chaos. My small VIP contingent from a U.S. university was given remarkable access in China. Organized for a formal signing ceremony of collaborative exchange with a university there, we received highest honors as guests because education and teachers are highly revered in their culture. This day, I felt compelled to bring back not only a beautiful piece of cloisonné but also the elegant, breath-controlled airbrush equipment that so mesmerized me...that stopped me cold in the middle of a crowded, loud, and dangerous room of exquisite artists. Now, I look at complex hand-crafted art with even deeper appreciation after seeing firsthand the manual dexterity, artistic skills, pride of work, and time required for each piece. I see the artists' faces. My still life grouping has the silver airbrush set on the left with its mouthpiece and spray tube, decoratively etched base reservoir for enamel, and tiny brushes tucked into slots. Other items include a silver and wood decorative hair comb from the museum shop of a school dedicated to the education and cultural preservation of Chinese ethnic minorities; my small photo album; a cloisonné pot; and a custom carved soapstone chop gifted to me, which has my name transformed into Chinese characters to imprint onto the sealant wax of my personal correspondence--just like all the top literati. --Jeannette Bondurant © 2024 Photo: Jeannette Bondurant This content is copyrighted and cannot be reproduced or copied in part or in full without permission.

Become the true master of your life. Sometimes we do so much for others that our vision can become skewed or ideas get lost. Sometimes we focus entirely on one aspect of life, like earning money or public acknowledgement, and then trust other life aspects to be decided by others. On first glance, that singular focus can look like the easy or justified important choice for your life energy. But, like many easy choices, it actually becomes a much harder and complicated situation from which to escape when you realize the rest of your life is out of your control. Along this path, you may have lost your instincts for keen observation, intuitive knowing, safety, and self-actualization. Are you with your soul family, or are you with friends and family who may not want to support your life decisions that could disturb them? Have you allowed or enabled another to redact content from your life-plan pages? Are you feeling bound by highly restrictive cultural and societal expectations--or a desire for positive public perception and approval resulting from your own ego and pride? It can be hard to balance yourself when you are surrounded by demanding people. It can be even harder to search inside oneself to understand what emotional wounds may be causing prideful ego to drive decision-making. If you are unfamiliar with unhealed childhood wounds, or traumas, these experiences such as neglect, emotionally distant parents/caregivers, or worse, can result in adult behaviors of co-dependency, trying to fix others, the fear of abandonment, a need for external validations or to prove oneself, and people pleasing/deprioritizing one's own needs, amongst other behaviors. Look closely at the type of people with whom you've surrounded yourself and attract. Of course, assess your responsibilities, then step back and become clear on what will give you a deeper and more fulfilling life. I suggest practicing self-care to rebalance and begin to heal from life traumas. Professional guidance is available to assist in healing. Your life is about YOU--your journey, your lessons, your development, your expression. Follow your heart, and make positive changes. And, seek supporters who genuinely want you to thrive. Some of you may relish the wisdom in the book, Women Who Run With The Wolves, by Clarissa Pinkola Estés...myths and stories of the wild woman archetype. Perhaps about 20 years ago, I discovered her insight to better understand how we make decisions and fall into traps.--Jeannette Bondurant© 2024 Photo: Patrice Schoefolt, Pexels.com This content is copyrighted and cannot be reproduced or copied in part or in full without permission.

The creeping intrusion of woodfire in the air is an unwanted surprise. It strangely recolors my soundtrack--the soft hum of a distant lawnmower and syncopated chirps of birds home for the night. The aluminum bench by the stream out back is hard. Narrow. I imagine it as my rooted connection to the earth, while I watch the unfathomable brilliant light between the trees slowly descend. As it moves, the starburst pattern changes within the community of maples, where each strives to be the tallest. How grateful I am for this special moment and how it settles over any fleeting grievances, covering everything like the comfort of my childhood bedspread. Seeing the good, the beauty, and the countless gifts puts everything into an altered perspective. And, I am glad. --Jeannette Bondurant© 2024 Photo: Jeannette Bondurant This content is copyrighted and cannot be reproduced or copied in part or in full without permission.

A few friends have called out in the night in the past week. I think it's worth saying publicly... Sometimes we need to be babies. Sometimes we need to hear someone say it's going to be OK and that we are valued and are seen and truly loved by others. We are not alone on this journey. We all have different versions of it. Sometimes we make it messier before we clear it--that's just how some of us need to learn. Lessons and loss can be extraordinarily difficult to process and swim through. Gentle reminders...You are loved and valued more than you know. There are kind and seeing hearts around all of us. Often our self-doubts--or feelings that we are unworthy of love unless producing work or service--and the causal wounds of childhood, like neglect or coldness or unenlightened parenting or worse, can affect our ability to find our footing when things seem to crumble. If you don't feel strong, I suggest the following: Pretend you have more self-love. Feel it. Absorb it. Live in that imagining, and make it manifest. Pray for courage, insight, and support, or whatever is in your heart. Then, call a friend. Take care that you don't give your power away to destablizing circumstances and fear, or controlling persons whom you deem as authority figures. It is really and only about you. Your life. Your perception. Your love. Your free will. Find your strength, integrity, and voice. Friends and professionals are within reach if the journey seems too much. You are loved and valued by many. People just forget to say it enough. --Jeannette Bondurant© 2024 Photo: Pexels.com This content is copyrighted and cannot be reproduced or copied in part or in full without permission.

Besides the saying, can't see the forest for the trees, I suggest we often focus too closely on bearing or controlling our 3D world that, like the subtle light of the moon in my photo, we miss the precious light of new ideas, breakthrough emotional awareness, or savoring the delightful mystery and magic of our world. The additional layers are there if we look through the branches. Just on my nature walk today.

October Tuesday, just about bedtime. Took a late night drive in inky black central NC country. My soundtrack was the sole option offered...Def Lepard, Police, Rush, Frampton, and Foreigner. No street lights. No highway signs. No embedded road reflectors. Just me and my headlights in an arc, pacing along the dashed white lines to rock music. My soft black leather jacket seemed just right. There was no demarcation where the thick black corridor of woods would have silhouetted against the sky. Passed through a pungent cloud that in Cali would be colitus but here was a reminder of natural wildlife. Began praying no deer would launch out. It's primetime buck rutting season--they're crazed. And then, I turned off on my exit. There it was...a sole street light illuminating the deserted local Outlaws biker headquarters. Almost to my place, now. What decade is it? Welcome home, city girl. -- Jeannette Bondurant© 2024 Photo: günter, Pixabay This content is copyrighted and cannot be reproduced or copied in part or in full without permission.

We've all experienced dark times, whether it's financial, environmental, or personal loss/disappointment. I apply the hard-to-believe adage of there's a light at the end of the tunnel, especially from an emotional and spiritual perspective. Through soul-searching experiences that usually last uniquely for as long as we individually need to grow and understand things from a new perspective, it seems we can emerge in a brighter light of self-awareness, new understanding of others, and greater self-love. I've experienced these epiphanies after situational distress. Yes, it can be damned hard and could last for years. You are not alone in these journeys. They are universal. I've been there. My friends have been there. And, stories abound from history in all cultures about these journeys. It seems this is the way toward a more enlightened, compassionate, and balanced life. At least for me, it is the proverbial blessing in disguise. No one said life would or should be easy--although living with more joy and manifesting the life you desire appear to be easier when lessons are embraced rather than fought. A very wise friend once said to me, "When you keep hitting your head against a wall, that's not your path, and when the 'Universe' rolls out a red carpet, don't hesitate, because you are being shown the new way to turn." I embrace that philosophy with eternal hope and expectation. My joy of life is partially rooted in this belief. --Jeannette Bondurant© 2024 Photo: Germán TR, Pexels.com This content is copyrighted and cannot be reproduced or copied in part or in full without permission.

I remember Beijing was dusty. Unrelenting winds blowing from the west brought dust...tiny particles from eons past rushing across the plains, the mountains, and The Wall. While facing out to the mountains with my back to all signs and sounds of the present, I felt a spiritual connection with those before me who lived and died building this incredible structure. -- Jeannette Bondurant© 2024 PHOTO: Jeannette Bondurant This content is copyrighted and cannot be reproduced or copied in part or in full without permission.

It takes more strength to love than not to love. Being vulnerable and revealing emotions are not signs of weakness but of strength. When you release the need to control, which is "of the mind," you then begin to exist more through your heart, which is the only way to feel true, deep, resonating happiness in life. Everything else is mostly assuaging the ego, often rooted in childhood wounds, and those fleeting satisfactions are only band-aids. Take a breath and reassess your motivations. An open and loving heart with a mindset of positive expectations that you tell yourself--and believe--are already part of your life are keys to manifesting exceptional things in your life. That's expressing gratitude in the present for gifts coming in the future. Call it trust in prayer, vibrational alignment, or whatever you want. Lower your defenses and open your heart a little more. We all are worthy of love. It begins with self-love at the core. --Jeannette Bondurant© 2024 PHOTO: Marek Piwnicki, Pexels.com This content is copyrighted and cannot be reproduced or copied in part or in full without permission.

Let's take a look at your perspective about your work and mission, whether you call it manifesting your future, the power of positive thinking, or being Spirit-led. The last decade of business advice rode a wave promoting the benefits of "doing good while doing well" -- finding ways to do good works through one's company to see a rise in profits and public appeal, while effecting positive changes on the planet. The trend caught on, and, now, some PR agencies make it a requirement for new clients. Many businesses have departments or foundations to research and manage their philanthropy. A benefit of the do good/do well strategy can include feeling a greater personal happiness for employees' work/energy/time investment, in addition to scoring increased public approval for brands and seeing an improved bottom line. My deeper dive into business strategies that improve an entrepreneur's happiness, along with the longevity and success of a company, is about the heart connection between a company's mission and the passion of its leader and crew. Yes, by all means, charitably donate time, funding, and/or leadership through your business. But, if the core mission and purpose of your business endeavors are not driven by legitimate personal passion, then I suggest taking a closer look at that disconnection, even if you have hidden it well. Not all successes in business are equal, especially when viewed through a holistic lens. For simplicity, I will focus on the entrepreneurs and small business owners. That friction or disconnect with one's heart ultimately can be a source of stress, discontent, employee attrition, and the frustration of plateaued or dropping sales, clients and outside funding. A key belief in the study of mind-body medicine is that feelings affect one's physical and emotional levels of wellness. Doing good works for others, as part of a company strategy, can support the human need to help others and to feel like part of a beneficial organization. However, when a company's mission is truly aligned with the passion of its leadership and team, everything can be positively elevated. It may take a slight shift in approach or a full re-evaluation of skills, talents, and priorities to re-direct toward a path that is aligned with the heart. Imagine the clarity and brightness of spirit you could have daily when what you do aligns with your true self. For me, it is happiness and knowing that I am building something on my own terms that truly helps others. Whether viewed from the point of being Spirit-led, or "the power of positive thinking," or taking steps to manifest one's future, that elated feeling and personal vibrancy seem to attract success like magic. If you feel a sense of struggle with your work or have a portfolio of talents and skills that are not well-prioritized, combined, or utilized, you may benefit by a professional assessment, especially to launch or rebrand a business. Take the time and care needed to find your investment of self in your career or business that is aligned with your passion. On the extreme end, burn-out in business or a career can happen for many practical reasons, such as a chronic lack of support, but, I believe, on a higher scale, it is always the heart’s cry for long-overdue change. At Larimar J Communications, we can help create with you the brand and direction that are driven by your passion. Often, our clients have so many credentials and such a range of training that they need our help with assessment and language to define their unique leadership and to clarify their mission. --Jeannette Bondurant© 2022 PHOTO: Belle Co, Pexels.com Why do I need a Media Kit?

Well, please answer these first:
A media kit is a foundational tool that should beautifully create your personal/professional image, and it becomes the resource for your website content. Not only do interviewers ask for your media kit, it also is an essential tool in the process of improving your branding materials and website messaging. The name is somewhat of a misnomer, because it goes far beyond media outreach. That's why I tell my clients it is a "branding kit." A polished, professionally created media kit is perfect for those looking to hone their message and better understand how to position themselves and their skills, talents, services or products. A good media kit is a tool for website editing that you and your web master will love. At its best, it includes a long bio that beautifully weaves your most significant experiences, passions, services/product, and branding language into a stand-alone piece that is suitable as a published article. I’ve found that media kits often become the backbone of my clients' website language. In addition to your bio, it should build your brand with a page about your business services or products that ties directly to the language in your bio. Additional components are included in a full five to seven-page media kit. This powerful representation about you and your company can make the difference between an open and closed door. If you answered YES to any of my four questions, then seek out a recommended pro for a free consultation. You may not need a full website re-do. An in-depth media kit may be the answer. We can help at Larimar J Communications. --Jeannette Bondurant© 2021 PHOTO: Natalya Letunova, Unsplash.com |
