Facing the Tsunami of life

I awoke from a dream so vivid, it stirred my heart in ways that are still resonating with me. In this dream, I found myself aboard a ship, moving steadily on top of a giant tsunami toward its inevitable fall down the abyss—a force of nature so overwhelming that it has long been a symbol of my deepest fear, remnants of Atlantis past life experience.

My husband Patrice was by my side, as he always is, his hand in mine. The journey ahead seemed destined for destruction and appeared to be of no return.

Yet despite the looming waves, I felt no fear. Instead, I was filled with love, clarity, and peace.

The details of the dream were striking: I wore a lifejacket because I was considered both a woman and elderly—an amusing thought, given how often I challenge the idea of age as a limiting factor. Patrice, however, did not have a lifejacket.

As the fall surged closer, I noticed a young man without protection, so I instinctively removed my lifejacket and handed it to him saying, “You have a life ahead of you with the Grace of God. I have had a good life, and I wish to end it with the love of my life.”

Still, I felt no anxiety. In that moment, there was no sorrow, no regret, no panic—just the feeling of deep fulfillment and peace. I had confronted one of my greatest fears—being overwhelmed by the vastness of the tsunami, a symbol that has always carried echoes of Atlantis and devastation.

Yet here I was, standing in the face of it, not as a victim, but as someone fully at peace with her destiny.

A that moment, it became clear to me: my fear of the tsunami—this overwhelming force—was not really about fear at all. It was about love. Love for my husband, Patrice, and the extraordinary life we’ve shared. Love for the journey we’ve walked together, and the feeling of deep fulfillment from having lived fully, aligned with my soul’s purpose. There was no regret, no sense of loss. Only peace.

What was this dream really about? At its core, it was not about loss or fear, but about LOVE and COURAGE. It was a reminder that we can live fully, even in the face of life’s most daunting challenges, knowing that our purpose has already been fulfilled. I stood there, content and at peace, knowing that I had lived a life worth living, and now I could release it without fear.

This dream speaks to a universal truth—how often do we fear the overwhelming forces that loom ahead, whether they take the form of external events or inner turmoil? The tsunami may represent those inevitable moments of profound change that we cannot control: the loss of loved ones, the shifting tides of our personal lives, or the unseen challenges that take us by surprise.

Yet, even as the wave rises, we are reminded of our inner strength, the love that carries us through, and the peace that comes when we embrace the present moment.

My decision to give away my lifejacket in the dream was not one of self-sacrifice, but one of understanding that life is about cycles—passing on what we’ve received to others who still have their journeys ahead. The young man represented the future, full of potential and possibilities. I, on the other hand, had experienced the richness of my journey, and was ready to face the unknown with my heart at ease.

We are all on this ship, heading toward unknown waters at various points in our lives. The fear of a metaphorical tsunami—be it failure, loss, or uncertainty—can be paralyzing. But if we trust in the love we carry within us, and accept the course of life with grace, we find ourselves empowered to navigate even the most turbulent seas.

In the end, the lesson is simple: fear dissolves when we realize that we have lived in alignment with our truth and purpose.

We are here to love, to give, and to receive. And when our time comes to face the unknown, whether it be through a towering wave or something else entirely, we can meet it with courage, knowing we’ve already fulfilled our destiny.

Even the fear of the greatest tsunami cannot shake the peace of a heart that is ready to receive the gifts of each moment, just as it is.

At its heart, this dream revealed a truth that extends far beyond my personal story. It is a story about love—the kind of love that transcends fear, time, and circumstance. For me, love takes shape in my relationship with Patrice, the partner who has been my anchor through life’s storms. Together, we’ve built a life that honors our souls’ journeys, one where purpose and meaning are woven into the fabric of our everyday existence.

But this love—this deep, unconditional love—is not just about a romantic partnership. It’s a love that belongs to everyone. Whether it’s the love you feel for a spouse, a child, a dear friend, or even a beloved pet, love is what gives our lives meaning. It’s the cause or mission that sets your soul on fire, the passion for a purpose that drives you to create, to serve, to give. This love is the reason we can face life’s tsunamis with courage. It reminds us that we are part of something larger than ourselves.

In the dream, as I handed my lifejacket to the young man, I was passing on the gift of life—one that had been richly lived in love. He represented the future, full of hope and promise, while I stood with the fullness of my past and present, deeply fulfilled. I was not afraid to let go because I had lived my purpose, and that purpose was rooted in love: love for my partner, love for the work I do, and love for the people whose lives I’ve touched.

For each of us, this love may look different. It could be the passion for a cause that drives you to get up every morning, a mission that fulfills your soul’s calling. It might be the devotion you feel for a family member or the unconditional companionship of a pet. Wherever this love is directed, it becomes the anchor that allows you to face your own challenges—your own “tsunamis”—with a sense of peace and clarity.

Love gives us the strength to navigate life’s storms, not because it shields us from pain or loss, but because it gives those moments meaning. Even in the face of something as daunting as a tsunami, love reminds us that we have already lived well, and we can continue to give. It is through love that we pass on our gifts to others, and through love that we face the unknown with open hearts.

So, the dream was not really about the fear of drowning or being overwhelmed by a wave larger than life. It was about recognizing that when we are anchored in love—whether it’s the love of a person, a purpose, or a passion—we are already living fully. We are at peace with who we are and the lives we’ve lived, ready to face whatever comes next with grace and courage.

The truth is, no matter what form love takes in your life, it has the power to transcend even the greatest fear. In love, we find our peace. In love, we find the courage to let go, knowing we’ve lived in alignment with our deepest truths. And in love, we face the tsunamis of life, not with fear, but with open hearts, ready to receive whatever the next wave brings.

Harnessing the Energy Around You

What is energy and how can you harness the energy around you?

Find out with Fabienne Marneau from Dr. Heather Tucker’s Freedom Friday Show…

In the broadest sense, energy is the vital force that underlies all of existence. It’s the invisible flow that sustains life, moves planets, and sparks the tiniest particles into action. From the air we breathe to the sun’s warmth and even our emotions, energy surrounds and permeates us. Understanding what energy is—and how to connect with it—can empower you to live in harmony with yourself and your environment.

What Is Energy?

At its core, energy is vibration, frequency, and movement. Everything in the universe, whether visible or invisible, is made up of this vibrating energy. In spiritual traditions, this life force is often called *prana*, *chi*, or *ki*—all of which describe the subtle flow that fuels our physical and mental health. The idea is that by understanding and tuning into this flow, you can achieve a sense of balance, clarity, and even physical well-being.

Ways to Harness the Energy Around You

Practice Mindfulness and Grounding
Grounding techniques—such as walking barefoot on grass, meditating, or visualizing your connection with the earth—are simple ways to absorb natural energies. When you connect with nature in this way, you not only recharge your body’s energy but also stabilize your mind and emotions.
Balance Your Environment
Your surroundings directly influence your personal energy. Decluttering your space, using healing stones, or arranging your home with an eye for harmony (like in Feng Shui) can help align and uplift your personal energy field.
Use Breathwork to Connect with Inner and Outer Energy
Breath is one of the most effective tools for harnessing energy. Practicing mindful breathing or breath exercises can help channel energy inward, quiet the mind, and replenish your life force.
Visualization and Intention Setting
Energy follows intention. By visualizing positive outcomes and setting clear intentions, you can influence the energy around you. This could be as simple as imagining a protective light around you or visualizing success and peace flowing through your day.
Connect with Others
Humans exchange energy constantly, so being around positive people or in a supportive community can elevate your own energy. Likewise, practicing compassion and gratitude boosts energy levels within and around you, helping you attract even more positive connections.

Final Thoughts

Learning to harness the energy around you is not just about increasing your vitality or managing stress. It’s about creating a life aligned with your highest potential. By tapping into the universal energy that connects us all, you’re not only enhancing your well-being but also opening yourself to deeper states of awareness, peace, and interconnectedness.

Remember, everything you need is already within you—you simply need to tune in, align, and allow the energy to flow.

When Being Right Isn’t Worth It: Choosing Peace Over the Need to Be Understood

Have you ever tried to speak from your heart—only to feel your words twisted, misinterpreted, or used against you?

It’s painful when your genuine intentions are met with suspicion. When a simple truth, shared vulnerably, becomes a trigger for conflict or distance.

When someone you care about can’t hear your love because they’re listening through the filter of old wounds.

It happens in all kinds of relationships—between friends, lovers, family members, even colleagues or clients. And it can leave you feeling confused, hurt, and tempted to explain yourself over and over again just to be understood.

But at some point, a deeper wisdom calls us inward:
What if being understood isn’t the most important thing?

What if peace is more powerful than being right?

There’s a kind of freedom that comes when we release the need to fix a misunderstanding, especially when the other person isn’t ready—or willing—to see things differently. Not out of pride, not from giving up, but from honoring the sacred truth that all healing, growth, and transformation begin with free will.

You can’t force someone to hear you clearly if they are committed to seeing you through a lens of pain.

You can’t explain yourself into someone’s trust if their heart isn’t open to receive you.

And sometimes, the more we try to clarify, the deeper the divide becomes.

The Power of Letting Go with Love

Letting go of the need to be right doesn’t mean we abandon our truth. It means we honor it without needing validation.

It means we trust that what is real doesn’t need to be proven. That love speaks with a quiet confidence, and truth—spoken with sincerity—will always find its way, in its own time.

It also means recognizing when a relationship dynamic no longer feels safe, mutual, or nourishing.

When someone persistently misinterprets your actions or words, it may not be about you at all—it may be about something unresolved within them.

And while we can have compassion for that, we’re not required to stay in that space.

Sometimes the most loving choice is to walk away gently.
Not in anger. Not to punish.
But to protect your peace and allow the other person the space to choose their own path.

Self-Actualization in Action: Moving Beyond Fear, Doubt, and the Past

The journey of personal growth and self-actualization is both fascinating and infinite. For some, it begins as a conscious choice—an intentional path to expansion and liberation. For others, it emerges from a deep sense of dissatisfaction, an inner call to break free from inherited limitations and conditioned beliefs.

I know this journey well. My own path took me across continents, through countless teachings, and ultimately beyond knowledge itself—to a place of surrender, trust, and transformation.

But how far can we truly go? And how do we know when we are stepping into our full potential?

What Happens When Money Means Love to You?

Have you ever felt like no matter how hard you try, financial abundance remains just out of reach?

Perhaps deep down, your relationship with money is entangled with something much more profound—your sense of love and self-worth.

Many of my clients discover that their financial struggles are not simply about money but are rooted in unconscious emotional patterns inherited from their lineage.

One such client came to me feeling deeply frustrated and anxious about her financial situation. No matter how much effort she put into her business, she kept experiencing dry spells, unexpected expenses, and an overwhelming sense of scarcity
