Hello Friends, While we're in Spring cleaning season, let's chat a bit about forgiveness. Yep, I can see rolling of the eyes and hear huffing and puffing too. But Mel, you just don't know what they did to me?! I don't care what they did to you, forgiveness is not for them, it's for you. Anger, resentment or disappointment only hurts you, not the perpetrator of the allegedly horrendous act. Holding on to the pain means you are continuously reliving it, allowing it to cause mental and emotional anguish aka stress. We've all heard by now that stress creates dis-ease, a body that is not at ease. Why would you want to [...]

Hello Friends, So what do you do when life suddenly seems gloomy, nothing's happening or you feel like you're stuck in a dark, dingy ditch? OR life surprises you with an amazing opportunity and you feel frozen with fear, anxiety and self-doubt? surprise 1 a : an attack made without warning b : a taking unawares 2 : the feeling caused by something unexpected or unusual First things first: BREATHE. Take deep breaths to allow extra oxygen into all the cells of your body. It helps you to calm down and clear your thoughts. This "surprise" is an opportunity for you to change your mind, [...]

Hello Friends, Perseverance + Persistence + Patience = Payoff These three seemly pesky Ps pack a powerful punch.

Hello Friends, Happy Spring! You know what this means: time for SPRING CLEANING!! Hmm, I think I hear some grumbling. Why does it feel so hard for us to let go of things that we know no longer serve us like bad habits, false or limiting beliefs, past hurts, and unhealthy relationships? I believe it's because we are creatures of habit and prefer familiarity - it feels safer to stick with what we know and are accustomed to than to venture out into the unknown. BUT in the unknown is where our future lies. Now what that future will look [...]

Hello Friends, So how do we transform from the furry caterpillar into the beautiful butterfly instead of conforming and hanging out with squirming worms? Very simply - through authenticity, vulnerability and self confidence. transform 1 a : to change in composition or structure; b : to change the outward form or appearance of; c : to change in character or condition conform 1 : to be similar or identical; also : to be in agreement or harmony  2 a : to be obedient or compliant; b : to act in accordance with prevailing standards or customs Be authentically yourself and do [...]

Hello Friends, I don't know what your definition of a successful life is but mine is maintaining a state of peace and joy in any and all circumstances, and having lots of fun adventures.

Hello Friends, As I was clearing clutter this weekend from my physical environment and my mind, I realized how often we carry loads that weigh us down, keeping us tethered to where we don't want to be, like a moored hot air balloon that is eager to soar in the sky. Clearing the clutter of unnecessary or no longer useful things, beliefs and habits makes space for new and wonderful expansiveness to enter our lives. In order to broaden our perspectives and allow bigger, better and more to come into our lives we must release small, limited and stinking thinking. A great idea pops into your mind and for [...]

Hello Friends, Happy Valentines Day to you and especially to me! I feel so wonderful I could squeal with exuberance like a child on Christmas morning or cry from a humble heart filled with joy!

I awoke this morning with the classic Wilson Phillips song "Hold On" playing incessantly in my mind. I didn't remember all the lyrics so I looked them [...]

Hello Friends, If you're alive and reading this you've experienced the feelings of helplessness and hopelessness, and it's not pleasant. Fear not my friends, we've been endowed with a superpower to counteract this dynamic duo - it's called choice. Yes, you read it correctly, stop all that snickering and grumbling. We have the power to choose what we focus on and what we do. We can direct our attention and actions consciously and purposefully for our highest good. conscious choice > helplessness + hopelessness Ok, ok, I know when we're feeling helpless and hopeless we feel stuck, and it can lead to anxiety or a depressed mood if we allow it [...]
