Honoring the Journey

Honoring the Journey

Four years of journals. On Friday, I received the message it was time to let them go. How could I best honor all of the thoughts, time and effort that went into them? It didn’t feel right to just throw them away. Four years of co-creation, ideas, manifestations,...

You Are A Divine Being

You Are A Divine Being

You are a divine being. If you’d said this to me even six months ago, I would have said no, turned around and walked away. Even through all of the “work” I’d done to clear my past, I didn’t believe I was worthy of this. Yet it’s our birthright. We are all born of...

My Love-Hate Relationship with Christmas

My Love-Hate Relationship with Christmas

Magic happened every night when our Christmas tree was lit up. Looking at the lights on the tree, the reflection of the ornaments, I saw into the possibilities. The anticipation of what would be. I remember the gifts, all carefully wrapped. We expressed our connection...

What’s Driving You?

What’s Driving You?

Do you know where your thoughts and energy are taking you? It’s a vital question to explore and to understand. Here in the U.S., we’re a week out of the election and more divided than ever. I’ve been watching with great interest and it’s a fascinating study in human...

Ready, willing and able is an old cliché that arose in our collective consciousness in the early 19th century. It implies that you have to be eager and fully prepared before moving into or doing something. For the smaller things in life, this may be apropos. To eat or...

You are Not a Mistake

You are Not a Mistake

There’s a quote with many variations I often heard during my corporate days, “Your lack of planning doesn’t constitute an emergency on my part.” Short of needing to put out the occasional fire, for the most part, this rings true when it comes to work. But when we...

The Road to Yourself

The Road to Yourself

Juicy and inspiring conversations. This is what makes life richer. To be able to share what's in your heart and on your mind, freely.   Here's two from the past week that are very different ... yet the essence of both are about discovering more deeply who you...

Energetic Limbo

Energetic Limbo

Indecision can feel like death by 1,000 paper cuts. The back and forth consumes your mental, physical and emotional energy. A lot of it. You don’t want to close yourself off from the potential of something else coming through. You’re not quite at yes. It feels safer...

Acceptance – From a Different Perspective

Acceptance – From a Different Perspective

The implication and a definition of acceptance is one of approval. Hmmm. What if we instead changed acceptance to one of acknowledgment? Flipping it on its head as it were. I’m a firm believer of “acceptance doesn’t mean agreement,” and quote it in my first book. We...
