    #FridayFeels Anything is Possible

    January 13, 2017 - By 

    If you’ve known me for more than a minute or have been following me for a while, you know that I am a pretty open and positive person.  Sure, I have my up days and down days because, well, sometimes shitty things happen. I don’t try to hide the times I’m struggling or ignore things about society that bum me out. I believe that honestly sharing the journey is an important part of my story. Some days, however, I feel a stronger sense of that anything is possible optimism and a surge of positivity that I can’t contain.  It comes…

    #FridayFeels: Free!

    January 6, 2017 - By 

    What would you do with a free day? Imagine what your day might look like if you suddenly didn’t have to do anything that was previously expected of you. Delicious, right? 24 hours of 100% YOUR CHOICE.  I found myself today with just such an opportunity, and I’m using it to catch up on some of the things I’ve been meaning to do but haven’t carved time out for. It’s barely afternoon and I already feel like I’ve accomplished a week’s worth of stuff. Drop off watch for engraving? Check. Schedule plumbers? Check. Grocery shopping (Amazon Fresh for the win!) –…

    You Deserve to Be Delighted by Life

    January 2, 2017 - By 

    You deserve more than to “just get through it.” You deserve so much more than a mere existence. You deserve to live fully, embracing each day and savoring all that is before you. You deserve to be delighted by life. There is a Fire inside you- deep, eternal, and longing to burn with delight.  If you’ve spend the last little while keeping that flame low, give yourself permission to fan it, stoke it, and be Delighted by Life! If you’re not sure how, then maybe I can help you. Would you like to join my private email list? It’s where…

    My Word of the Year: Elevate

    January 1, 2017 - By 

    Happy New Year, Loves! My word of the year choice for 2017 is “Elevate” and I’m incredibly excited for it. Like, Damn! My intention for the year moving forward is to elevate women and girls around the world, starting with myself.  I will shine a halo around our achievements, and highlight opportunities for more. I will choose to elevate the conversation and lift each other up in a world that tries to tear us down. I will pick myself up and hold my strong hand out for you, too. I will gravitate towards those who are also intent on uplifting,…

    Endings & Beginnings

    December 28, 2016 - By 

    Tomorrow is the new moon, and with it comes the energy & symbolism of ending & beginning. As we draw near to the end of another calendar year, there is no better time to pause, observe our place, and prepare for the next phase. You have access to every eternal truth woven within your own beautiful soul! Loves, I encourage you to take some time today to reflect on where you are in the cycle of change. Observe. Honor your place, without judgement.   There is a continuous series of beginnings and endings for every life. Though there is often…

    Year End Holidays: Free to be Festive (or not!)

    December 23, 2016 - By 

    I do love so many things about this time of year: Winter Solstice, My Birthday, Christmas, Yule, Holiday Lights, New Year’s Eve and all of the celebration and reverence for the different sacred holidays.  I love the festive feeling in the air and the excitement of finding special little gifts to give away. I love seeing the best in people, the spirit of generosity, the hope, the joy.   I’ve seen the darker side too, and I know that this is also a very difficult time of year for many people. It can bring up family tensions through forced interactions,…

    Mantra: I Am Lucky!

    December 19, 2016 - By 

    Have you ever noticed how some people just continually complain about things going wrong for them, or how they never win anything, or if it wasn’t for bad luck they would have no luck at all?  Is that you? This is a great mantra to start changing your mindset from negative to positive.  Create an attraction to more of the good things (little ones and big ones!) by practicing this simple phrase, and let the universe begin to fulfill your declaration: I Am Lucky!

    Mantra: I Welcome More Love Into My Life

    December 12, 2016 - By 

    I’m writing this message for today lying in bed, the ocean gently rocking our cruise ship and lulling my sweetheart to sleep beside me.  I sometimes cannot believe that this is my life now, and yet it’s the love & life I had always dreamed of.   Yesterday, he surprised me with a dozen perfect, gorgeous red roses delivered to our state room. Today, he surprised me with a bottle of Dom Perignon, chocolate dipped strawberries, and a chocolate mousse cake. Tomorrow, we are taking a private speed boat that he chartered for us from St. Thomas USVI and spending…
