The Long Winter’s Night, Winter Solstice (northern hemisphere) gifts us with the shortest amount of daylight. In this typically hectic time of year, it’s an invitation to choose to set down your stress and burdens in exchange for a little more peace, a little more quiet, a little more rest. Instead of trying to cram in MORE more more in less time, Why not shut it down a little early tonight and gift yourself with a hard reset? Enjoy a little longer glimpse of the star-filled night sky, the twinkling lights of the holidays, or even a little extra pillow…

Memorial Day is one of 3 annual events set aside for Americans to honor our military service members, along with Veterans Day and Armed Forces Day. Today holds the somber distinction of remembering the men and women who lost their lives while in service, of honoring the fallen on the fields of battle. It’s not so much of a “happy” occasion, though there’s really nothing wrong with celebrating Life while remembering the dead and dearly departed. So on this day, remember the fallen; send a prayer for the heroes who have given the ultimate sacrifice; lay a flower or a…

Ready for a powerful and positive mindset shift?

Today’s mantra is a positive affirmation and powerful reminder that we are ready for the next experience, the next adventure, the next lesson, the next step, whenever it is presented to us. Even when we feel unprepared. Even when we feel nervous. Even when we feel afraid. Why? Because even when we “fail” at that next whatever, we are still learning, still growing, still awakening to the discovery of who we are and the strength within. That is where the healing happens. That is what we are ready for! Mantra: Yes, I am Ready for This!

You may or may not be a Mother. (Hint: Giving birth is not the only qualification.) You may or may not always have a positive relationship with the woman, or women, who play/played the role of Mother in your own life. (Hint: Humans are notoriously flawed and complex beings.) You may be missing your Mom, or celebrating your Mom, or avoiding your Mom. You may be desperately wishing you were someone’s Mom, or wishing for just a moment that you weren’t. You may be wishing you were better equipped, better prepared, better suited, just better at this Mom thing. I know…

I love the energy shift in the first few days following a full moon. It’s as though there’s a collective release of negative thoughts and emotions and after getting a big hug from the universe, it is easier to set your sights on the possibilities ahead. Set your intentions now for what you want to create, open up to, or reveal in the weeks to come, and get ready to embrace the start of something new!

I’m always impressed with the tenacity of weeds in the city. No matter how much concrete, if there is even a tiny crack in the ground or along a wall, somehow nature finds a way through. I desire to be more like those weeds-pushing back against the hardscape, reaching for the light, blooming wherever I am. Today’s mantra is a powerful reminder: I am like a beautiful weed growing up through the cracks.
