Using Magical Eyes in our relationships, I have found, is one of the best ways to create magic in our lives.

I moved to Austin, Texas in 2006 from my home, away from my family, away from friends and everything I knew to be familiar in 2006 with $150 in my bank account and a dream of finding something bigger than what I had in Dallas. The first place I got a job was at a holistic verterinarian clinic, Crystal Mountain Animal Hospital. Little did I know, this place would become much more then a job to me. The experiences I had and lessons I learned have stuck with me through the years.

Kristen, the head vet tech, made it her mission to make her home, my home. With the help of her husband Ronnie, I knew that no matter what was going on in my life, I would always have a safe and loving environment to hide away in and regain my footing. Kristen was an angel, dressed in animal print scrubs.

Our time working together wasn't always pleasant. From time to time we would get in disputes, but it always opened a window for us to see one another with Magical Eyes. We got clear with what was bothering us (sometimes it took a mediator like Ronnie) and stated what was working for us and what wasn't. We stopped doing what wasn't working and started doing what was. With the power of Magical Eyes we were both able to see that we had a great cause at hand. It wasn't about either one of us, it was about the care and wellness of the animals we were caring for.

Having a co-worker and a friend like Kristen, allowed me to have power in the work place and in my life. Knowing a beautiful soul was looking at me for the love and light that lived inside, made it easier to let down my card and just be me in a peaceful way.

I asked Kristen to share how she uses her Magical Eyes on a daily basis to influence others. Watch the video below to see a short clip of her answer!

Do you have relationships that have benefitted from the practice of seeing each other with Magical Eyes? What have you learned? How do you use Magical Eyes to connect, process conflicts, and communicate?

SEEing you with love and light,

Something incredible happened to me this weekend, something I have chosen to keep to myself (at least as far as the details are concerned.) The result of the event, however, I will gladly share with you all.

I had been living in a world where I believed anything was possible. However I also believed that I had a very firm grip on the limits of what I could create and the things that would happen to me along the way.

Boy was I wrong.

When I set the intention to "be love," I thought I had an idea of what that would look like for me and those around me. Turns out "being love" allows windows and doors to swing open around me constantly. Far beyond the limits of what I saw as possible. Showing me transformation in the least likeliest of places. It was scary, startling and irresistible. But what I took away from the experience will forever change me.

On the plane ride home from New York to Dallas, Texas I saw that by "being a vessel of love" I have the ability to show others that happiness is available in all shapes in forms in their lives. Even when they thought their time had past.

When we open our worlds to what resides in our soul we have the power and ability to transform lives, even our own.

It is in our best interest to release any limiting beliefs we might have that do not serve, even the beliefs we didn't necessarily know we had in the first place.

Radiating Love,

Yesterday I arrived in New York after much excitement and anticipation from prior weeks and days before.

This was the first time I traveled without a plan. I knew I was flying into JFK but had no idea how I was getting from the airport to my friends apartment in a city I had never been to that was much larger then myself.

One way or another, I made it into Manhattan around 6 p.m. I got off the plane, took a bus that seemed to be going in the right direction, then to a shuttle that seemed to be going in a better direction, then to a cab where I was thrown all over the backseat and finally to my friends apartment.

Over all, I'd say I was pretty proud of myself. I didn't really get scared, I followed my instincts and as always, they got me where I needed to be.

Last night we went and got a sandwich and devoured the deliciousness in Union Square as we watched the crowd of people dance, sit, talk and just be.

I had the pleasure of taking the Magical Eyes Tour to Mission, Kansas to visit Shannon Kinney-Duh and her incredible family and lead a Pink Salon, Owning You Through Journaling (post coming soon), at the beginning of June. While I was there I gained a great sense of peace around defining who I am and what that looks like from a future business/life coach stand point.

I knew I loved Shannon, but after a stay in her home and sharing lovely talks around relationships, dreams, creativity and so much more, I acquired a deep respect for who she is as a mom, wife and human being. I asked Shannon to share what Magical Eyes means to her this is what she came up with. Grab your tissues and stay tuned, because this is only part one of an incredible series! Thanks, Shannon!

I just got off the phone getting an astrology reading done. It was actually my first time doing this. I am very into the "woo-woo" and love learning things about myself through external sources. When I approached the reading, I didn't expect it to be anything truly profound. But here I sit in awe of what I read. I believe I have mentioned it before, but why do we need to have confirmation from an external source to know that we are incredible beings?

I know with every once of my spirit that every single person I know, have spoke to, have loved from afar, have connected with in one way or another is here on this Earth for something incredible. Something profound. Something gut wrenching and unbelievable. The trick is that the choice to take action on your greatness lies in YOUR hands and no one else's.

It does not matter if you are a stay at home mom, carpenter, hair dresser, lovemuffin extraordinaire, someones daughter, neighbor, lover or friend. In each moment of each day you have the option to live from your heart and be the best you possible.

I am writing this because Stevi called me out (which to be honest is how I have been living my life.) Making commitments and not holding to them unless someone calls me out on them.

Take my health for instance; I know that it is in the condition it is in because no one calls me out on it. I told Ashleigh I would go to Zumba this morning. I didn't show up at her house, she didn't call, I didn't go; because no one called me out. Where do I get off putting my responsibilities on other people? Given there are some areas of my life I take full control over. But the ones I let slip are detrimental to the ones I stay committed to.

At this point in the Magical Eyes Tour I am walking through the fog. I am trusting my instincts and guidance from The Universe to lead me where I need to go. I can't see what is in front of me, but I know that it is magic waiting to explode with millions of pieces of glitter and sparkles for us all to dance in.

I wrote this because I wanted you to know that I love you. I see your light, it was keeps me going through out my day, to know that there are people out there like you in a world like this. Take my hand, take responsibility for what you want and lets go for it! I would love it if you would leave a comment letting me know what you are taking charge of in this moment.

Ashliegh, thanks for inspiring me to take charge of my health. Stevi- as always, thanks for calling me out.

With Tears in My Eyes,
Megan Monique

Next stop on the Magical Eyes Tour; BlogHer Conference in NEW YORK CITY!

It has been sometime now since I have written content about The Magical Eyes Tour. I have been back in Texas after leaving California for a little over a month now. Since being back I have had 2 Pink Posse Events and led the first ever Pink Salon, all of which have been wonderful.

However, the reason for my lack of content is not that I have been consumed by busyness. The truth is that I feel lost. For the past several years I have been rapidly growing, expanding and learning. Evolving into the women I am today and all of this was done with great certainty of what I was heading towards. But now, I don’t know what that is. It feels more like there is a missing puzzle piece floating around in time and space that I have yet to get my hands on.

During this time, I have been patient with myself, allowing the midst to settle in its own time. Taking lessons as they come and not demanding they show themselves instantly. “When I am ready they will appear,” I tell myself.

Well, dammit, I am tired of waiting! I can feel the creativity bubbling in my blood waiting to be expressed in one way or another. My insides are screaming, DEMANDING, originality, thought provoking art, conversation and imagery. More importantly, a definition of me that is tangible. The kind of certainty, that when I walk in to the room and strike up a conversation, it is written all over me, THIS is who I am.

Not words, not ideas, not clothes, colors or hair styles, but the ability to create a career, a service to offer others that fits me like a finely tailored suit. A service that no other would be able to offer the way that I do.

As I was reading Lissa’s post, I began to realize that I was regularly using my magical eyes on those around me but had somehow forgotten to use them on myself.

When I look at myself with Magical Eyes (which is harder then I expected,) I see a woman who longs to share herself with others in a vibrant, colorful way; a way that leaves others blown away in their seats. I see a woman who longs to create comfort and a home of love for herself and everyone around her. I see someone who wants to give, find balance and above all else share her love with the world.

When I take on that perception of myself, I am patient and kind. I can literally feel my heart soften and open up just a little bit more. And though the solution to my feeling of lost isn’t completely resolved, I know that when I use Magical Eyes on me, there is nothing but love and acceptance present.

(Shortly after writing this post I found a blog post from Stacey Curnow that had this quote that has stuck with my since reading it. It has given me GREAT peace.)

"Let go of the idea that the path will lead you to your goal. The truth is that with each step we take, we arrive. Repeat that to yourself every morning: ‘I’ve arrived.’ That way you’ll find it much easier to stay in touch with each second of your day. . -Paulo Coelho"

Here I am, back in Ennis, Texas with Brawn, Stevi, Jack the Dog and my family. I must say it is good to be back. There are many people I have come across since being back in town that excited about my presence here. One person even told me there was a void when I was gone. Either way, it is apparent to me that I have an audience to cater to here with what I want to do; lead workshops and spread the Pink word.

The Magical Eyes Tour Continued
It feels nice knowing that no matter where I am, I can always be me and the people I am suppose to love and work with will gravitate in my direction. I just made two appointments at two locations in the Dallas area to hold two Pink Salons (a.k.a Pink Workshops.) If you are in the area and interested in attending, leave me note a here. I leave in June to head to Kansas, MO with Shannon and hold some Pink Salons there as well!

My Struggle
One thing I am struggling with is creating a productive routine in my day. This is something I have always wanted, but rarely have, however I know that if I made it available to myself- my life would greatly benefit. This missing element is routine. Not step by step, day by day. But with a few things that I know I want in my life daily:

1. Meditation
2. Journaling
3. Exercise
4. Reading

I also know that waking up early would help me accomplish all of these (and as many of you know, that has also been a struggle for me.) Which leaves me with this question for you; when you noticed you were stuck in a pattern that did not serve you, what was the shifting point for creating and following through with a new one?
