When I write an article, I usually approach it from place of wanting to share something practical, inspirational, or intelligent that will benefit you. If I achieve this, I consider myself successful, but there is room to grow– to let you in. If you’ve ever written to me, you know what connection means to me. What I value most is a sense that there’s a net of positive energy circling the world and I know people who populate it. If you’re... Read more
Rare treasures are valued worldwide. Diamonds are really just pretty rocks that come out of the ground. They are prized more than other equally stunning rocks because they are incredibly scarce. Elite athletes do a great deal less for society than teachers, but they are celebrated because they possess a talent far more uncommon (but not more valuable) than the ability to teach a child to read. Growing a life inside a woman’s body is infinitely more miraculous than making... Read more
92% of resolutions fail within two weeks. It doesn’t make the most sense to plan and prepare for an entire year of your life during the busy-ness of the holidays. It takes time to reflect, digest, and sift the good from last year. It also takes time to clean up and clear out our mental and physical environment. Both of these things are vital to creating a solid foundation that will support and our goals. Once you’ve done this, it... Read more
Wherever you are, whatever you practice, take a moment to appreciate everything that matters to you. Let nothing be off limits or judged as more or less worthy of appreciation. This is your life and you are a unique individual whose greatness is revealed by self-acceptance. Today, give thanks for all you’ve done well, all you’ve learned, for each person who has loved you, and for each person who, by withholding love, has taught you to love yourself. Be grateful because you... Read more
I don’t believe in living life based on predictions; I know that at every moment we possess the power to influence and change the trajectory of our health, finances, relationships and careers, essentially our entire lives. But I am fascinated by the wisdom found in the many forms of energy interpretation. Recently, I’ve seen the Five of Cups tarot card (pictured above) several times. It showed up on a book cover, a flyer and finally in an email from a... Read more
How many times have you wanted to do something new, or take a risk, and instead of stepping up and attempting to do it, you stepped back and wished that you were more confident? Is there something in your life that you really want, but you’re waiting to have the confidence to go for it? Do you believe that once you’re confident, you’ll get started? Confidence comes as the result of stepping out and taking risks, not waiting for it.... Read more
You are intuitive, whether you realize it or not. There’s a higher knowing within you. It’s always there and available to support you. It may communicate or express itself as a feeling, a vision, a voice, or a simple knowing.The challenge for most people is in recognizing their intuition and distinguishing between it, the ego, emotions, and their thinking mind. Intuitive knowings aren’t like other types of thoughts or feelings. They are quiet, simple, arise from an inner state... Read more
We all endure losses, big and small, some more intense than others, and some of us experience more than others, but we all go through it sooner or later. For me the experience of loss and grief is what I would imagine being dropped out of a plane into the middle of a seemingly endless stormy sea, at midnight, with only a very flimsy flotation device would feel like. At first it’s shocking and we grapple with trying to understand... Read more
Most of us move through life carrying a dossier of beliefs taken from the past and, to greater and lesser degrees, bearing no truth. The falsity of the beliefs is irrelevant because what we call true is true for us. Like a virus, erroneous beliefs spread to the minds of others where they multiply, magnify and circulate. In time, entire populations carry similar thoughts and because “everyone knows it’s true”, it is. This cycle whirs like an everlasting merry-go-round and it feels... Read more
“What is my purpose?” “Why am I here?” Having grappled with these questions myself and helped many people discover their unique answers too, I know how fundamental this question is to living fulfilling, happy, and genuinely successful lives. The purpose of your life is to express your unique strengths, gifts, talents, and creativity, in a manner that serves others, sustains, and fulfills you. Ideally, your life’s purpose intersects with, and may even be, your career (homemakers too). That’s... Read more
