Hello Friends, Based on recent conversations, it is evident that many are having a tough time dealing with difficult situations. You've heard it said "it is what it is," but I say: "it is what YOU say it is" because you are the only thinker in your mind. You are the only one who can decide how to view and approach your seemingly difficult situation. Is it good or bad? Can you look at this in a way that is encouraging? Is this situation teaching you something? Is this an opportunity to grow and expand your fabulousness? Is this even worth one moment of [...]

Hello Friends, Sorry I missed you guys last week. My daughter came back home and we were organizing our living space and getting reacquainted. Now, the Thanksgiving holiday is upon us once again and I wanted to share with you what I am thankful for: I am eternally grateful that I know that I am enough, I have enough and I do enough. That's right folks. It took me a while and some serious purging of false and outdated beliefs, and a lack mentality, but it was oh so worth it. The fruits of my labor are a healthy sense [...]

Hello Friends, I took a break last week to rest and recharge but I'm baaack and ready to roll, as you can see from today's topic. Our convo today was inspired by someone who is having a hard time letting go of the old and creating something new. Life can feel difficult when we fear the unknown and insist on worrying; refuse to be vulnerable enough to be our authentic selves and accept help; or feel foolish and frustrated after trying something different that didn't work immediately. god 1 capitalized : the supreme or ultimate reality: such as    a : the Being perfect in power, wisdom, and goodness who is [...]

Hello Friends, I come to you with sadness in my heart today. Yesterday, a close friend of my family made her transition after a long struggle with cancer. She is a beloved daughter, sister, mother, aunt, friend and hairdresser extraordinaire who always had a bright smile and kind words for everyone she met. Yes, I say IS because although her physical vessel may have expired, her true essence, her soul, the energy that animated her body is eternal. She still IS. She now exists in a different form. energy 1 a : dynamic quality //narrative energy; b : the capacity of acting or being [...]

Hello Friends, Let's expand more on last week's blog about dreaming your desired reality into existence. As you dream about your heart's desires and have fun living them out in your imagination, it's important to do one thing as you go about your daily routines: FOLLOW YOUR BLISS! bliss 1 : complete happiness; 2 : paradise, heaven Joseph Campbell, who was an American professor of literature and author of works that covers many aspects of the human experience, lived by this philosophy: “Follow your bliss. If you do follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track that [...]

Hello Friends, The winds of change are still blowing and a feeling of melancholy is swirling about. We are neither here nor there, it's cloudy and feels as if we're in suspended animation while old things die away and the new has yet to emerge. What are we to do? UGH! Do not allow the negative emotions to spiral out of control. Take this in-between time to: review where you've been and how far you've come; continue to purge what's no longer needed or useful; rest and practice mindfulness or meditation exercises often; feed yourself healthy, nourishing foods; and dream [...]

Hello Friends, I've received some feedback from you about the winds of change we are experiencing and the words I heard most are: frustration, impatience, indecision and unpredictability. What are we to do when we feel we can't see the light at the end of the tunnel? Simple: practice slowing down, being still and accessing your inherent peace. We all have it, it's part of our original nature, but it's been beaten and brainwashed out of us by our family, friends, culture and/or society that dictates how we should live and approach life. The 'go along to get along', 'hurry up or you'll be left behind' and 'heard' mentality that [...]

Hello Friends, How are you faring amidst the winds of change? Are you managing your secret multiple personality disorder well?! I've decided to name my alter egos to make it more fun. Let's see, there's Raging Rita, Bossy Betsy, Nervous Nellie, Curious Carol, Nerdy Nancy, Silly Sally, Caring Carrie, Loving Linda and many, many more! Times of change can feel difficult and excruciating, even if we know we need it or really want it. We are likely to experience a plethora of emotions in a short period of time, and this is normal. Rest and reflection are essential during this time. You will feel tired and need to check in with yourself along the way. Rest often, [...]

Hello Friends, How do you view the world you live in? Is it friendly, vibrant and abundant or filled with hostility, lack and limitation? How you view the world determines how you live and experience life. You get to choose. What's your heart's desire? Are you willing to allow yourself to hope, believe and take risks to make it happen? What do you have to loose except more of the same humdrum, mundane routine - the known. Why not take a leap of faith and do things differently to have a new, more fulfilling and exhilarating experience - the unknown? Choose to create your life [...]

Hello Friends, In the midst of chaos and conflict, in the split second when your being is trying to decide whether to fight or flee, stop and breathe deeply. Be still and observe with all of your senses - look, listen and feel into what is happening as your body is feeding you important information so that you can take appropriate action. This all happens in mere seconds, especially in emergency situations. If you've ever experienced an emergency situation you may recall that right before you reacted it seemed as if everything stopped or was happening in slow motion, and the next thing you knew you were [...]
