    #FridayFeels Bittersweet 

    March 31, 2017 - By 

    Endings/Beginnings  Goodbyes/Hellos Safety Nets/The Great Unknown  Jobs end. Addresses change. Relationships shift. Lives evolve. We know that the only constant in Life is change, and even when we see it coming and look forward with great anticipation, still it feels like a shock to the system when the status quo we have known for so long is no longer so. Bittersweet. Today, if you are experiencing a great change of direction on your own path, know that you are not alone. Feel all of your feelings, don’t avoid them. Roll and flow with them, ride them like the mighty waves…

    #MondayMantra I Am Open To Give & Receive Love

    March 27, 2017 - By 

    Your mantra for today is a powerful mindset shift that guides you from a place of dark loneliness into abundant light. It is normal to retreat and close yourself off after being hurt or having your heart broken by someone you have loved, but in order to completely heal from that past pain and create a new path you must be willing to give and receive Love again.  This is an important step forward after being hurt in a relationship, whether romantic, platonic or familial. It doesn’t mean you have to continue on in a hurtful relationship; it does mean…

    #FridayFeels Sunny & Bright

    March 24, 2017 - By 

    Friday = FriYAY! It’s a gorgeous Friday here in SoCal, I’m on the right side of the dirt, and I am genuinely excited to be alive. I woke up this morning to clear, blue skies and cool, calm air. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and though the bed is oh-so-comfy all I want to do is get UP and drink in the day. I want to move my body and stimulate my brain. I want to expand my mind with BIG dreams and fill my heart with overflowing love. I want to LIVE, and I am grateful…

    #MondayMantra – Happy

    March 6, 2017 - By 

    Even on your most challenging days, you deserve to feel happy, even if only for a moment. Cultivate happiness in your life by doing something each day that makes you smile, so that on the hard days you have plenty to pull from. Recall a fond memory. Engage your senses. Dance like a total weirdo. Laugh at a terrible joke. Play with your pets/kids/best friends. Whatever makes you feel really happy, allow yourself to experience that feeling every single day. Mantra: Every day, I do at least one thing that makes me feel happy.

    Giving Up To Gain

    March 1, 2017 - By 

    For the past several years, I stopped attending church services altogether in favor of ditching religion and religiosity for a deeper, more authentic, hands-on, dirt-under-my-nails, faith-without-borders spiritual quest of healing and enlightenment. I chose to shrug off what had come to feel like confinement and faking it, and just figure out how to connect with and love people in a way that felt a lot more natural and right for me. It has been the best decision I have ever made, and it has allowed me to take all of the good lessons that I learned and apply them (love,…

    #MondayMantra I Welcome a Life of Abundance

    February 27, 2017 - By 

    Today, I invite you to shift your mindset to one that more readily welcomes abundance. This powerful mantra starts with a fun visualization practice: Begin to picture yourself on a golden path laid out before you. Surround your path with rich, vivid colors: flowers and trees, a lovely stream, beautiful birds singing, gorgeous rainbows in the sky. Engage all of your senses. Notice, there are no blocks or barriers along this path, it is simply open before you. Now feel a sense of peace & ease as you move along your path.   Mantra: I welcome a life of abundance!

    When Anger Is Killing You & How I Am Learning to Manage My Anger

    February 15, 2017 - By 

    Anger- there is no shortage of it. Even though for my own health and sanity I take care to spend the bulk of my time around people who are positive, mellow, and well-suited to handling stress, this powerful emotion is one that never seems far enough away.  All I have to do is take a quick scroll through Facebook or Twitter to see and feel the anger, wrath, or full-blown rage seeping through post after post after post, from the POTUS to the online trolls and everywhere in between. It’s exhausting, and I believe it is killing us. Now wait…
