Our family has recently suffered a loss.  Mom, Nana we called her, maintained traditions brought forward from her family experiences that will live on through the family she created.  LOVE is the tie that binds us with her forever through our human and soul experiences.  She was 80 years long on this planet, her effects are everlasting. With so much talk these days about finding our purpose, I point out as this recent experience demonstrates so beautifully, that life is…

Life has a way of seemingly taking us of track, or so we think.  Getting back on track is easier than you think.  And the first step is to take a moment to breath and give yourself some space.  That’s where we ‘notice’.  The things that happen in life are happening forus, not to us believe it or not.  How often do you think to yourself ‘why does this keep happening to me’? Well, sometimes we are in the flow of life and sometimes…

Like you, with the arrival of spring, I’m feeling inspired.  Ok more like I have ants in my pants.  Something about the season of renewalenergizes us.  And those of us who live in winter climates, may be feeling a little extra excited and relieved to know the landscape of white is on its way out for a while. Let’s get moving and clear some stagnant energy!  One of the ways we can clear our personal energy is through our breath.  Deep inhalations, and ‘candle blowing’ exhalations move stagnant energy out…

Each and every soul on this planet has come here to experience life, to learn through contrasting emotions, and best of all to love. Each of us has many gifts and talents, defined by the littlest things we do to the bigger things we dedicate our lives to.  We are also here, which is paramount to our growth, to face our challenges and struggles in this life we create. Every soul is Divine and every soul is connected.  We all…

Are you moving along the path of your 2017 resolutions and desires?  They say New Year’s resolutions are a waste of time, that they set us up for failure.  I rebut that, however there is indication that we tend to give up all too often.  It’s only February 2nd so should you be doubting the fruition of your goals, consider what I am about to say here first! When we have dreams and set goals based on our heart’s desires,…

2016 was the year that people couldn’t wait to be done with.  We had lots of news worthy drama, global tragedy and turmoil.  For some it negatively colored their daily lives, and others carried on with dreams and plans seemingly less affected.  Why the difference?  An eagerness to experience life; perspective framed by their environment; a sense of responsibility; a belief in the Universal Wisdom; head stuck in the sand?  haha  Whatever the reasons, I want more of that! People are brought…

I think we all agree that 2016 has been an incredibly dramatic year!  People everywhere are expressing their impatience for 2017 to arrive.  On some level whether consciously or subconsciously recognize there is a level of manifestation in that expression.  I would love to think it’s born from a place of creative desire, but for many it’s expressed from a place of sensitivity. We have a lot going on! Solstice comes and goes twice a year but this Solstice has additional meaning…

I imagine we all can relate to ‘Our Best Teachers’ in a grade school kind of way since many of us have that favorite teacher who impacted us in some way big or small.  Somehow those teachers saw us, connected with a need or affirmed something in us. As life goes, we strum along to our own tunes and become our ‘own person’ having lived through the formative years.  How many of us think we’ve arrived when we reach our mid 20′s and have the world…

Isn’t it true that we all resonate with music on some level?  Whether through your own musical talent as an expression, or through your appreciation for it, it soothes, energizes, and it lifts our spirits.  Thinking back, there were times I avoided music to avoid ‘feeling’ certain emotions, not realizing I had the power to change an unhealthy emotion to something more desirable.  It wasn’t a conscious decision, it was a reaction, yet I was scantily aware that it was an…

My recent stumble was in the literal sense.  It’s really tough to be ‘present’ all of the time!  And!  Often a lack of presence transpires without misfortune.  Unannounced to me this time…. I was going down my stone steps on my back!  Later I defended my ego saying I wasn’t expecting icy steps because our walkway wasn’t icy (eye roll from family).  The truth was, my mind was on morning coffee and other things. Some of you know I have metal…
