    Friday Feels: Vacation Vibes

    Last year around this time, my hottie boyfriend and I took off on a fabulous Caribbean cruise to Cozumel, Grand Cayman, Jamaica and Haiti. We convinced three other couples to join us for the adventure, and it was an incredible time! In fact, we loved it so much that we booked another cruise before we left the ship. Our friends maybe thought we were crazy, and they may be right- but we are just crazy enough to do the things together that make us happy. Today, Mr. Hottie and I set sail for another exciting cruise. We’ve literally been looking…

    Mantra: Practice Peace

    Mantra: I Pray for Peace, then Practice Living Peacefully. Creating a more peaceful world will always begin with you. Ask yourself if your words and actions are helping to create more peace in your relationships, or if they are not. Start with yourself. If your words and actions are not creating more peaceful relationships, what are they doing?  They are instead creating more drama, more anxiety, more disruption, more apathy. Pray or meditate about how you can create more peace within yourself (the first relationship) and then how you can extend it to the people around you.  By living in…

    Mantra: I Am Creating A Beautiful Life

    Mantra: I Am Creating A Beautiful Life The work that we do each day to actively, intentionally shift our mindset from negative, doom-and-gloom, worst case scenario to a more positive, bright-and-shiny, best possible outcome is powerful and scientifically proven to create new neural pathways in our brains. It is true that what we think about and focus our attention on is what shapes our reality, and by being open to the possibility of good things happening in our lives we literally create space in our minds for positive energy to grow! Though we may not be able to control external…

    Practice Graceful Self Love for the Holidays

    Whatever “Thanksgiving” means to you, whatever feelings, emotions, memories it brings up, however you celebrate the year end holidays or don’t… I invite you to spend some quiet time nurturing yourself and your soul.  Remind yourself that you matter, despite how anyone around you may try to make you feel otherwise. Treat your body to a good stretch, lots of rest, and gentle movement such as a nice walk to ease pain & discomfort. Eat, Drink, and Be Merry because you deserve Joy and a life of Celebration. If you have especially challenging family dynamics to sit through, remind yourself…

    Mantra: Today I Choose Gratitude

    Every day is a day worthy of giving thanks for.  Even in the hardest of times and in the most challenging circumstances, even in sadness, even in disappointment, there is always something to be grateful for. You may have to dig deeper or look out farther, but treasure is there. On the days when praise comes easily, be generous with your attitude of gratitude. Allow that positivity to flow through you and out to everyone around you. Share stories that are uplifting, smile, speak words of kindness and hope. Be a little lighthouse in a dreary world. On the days…

    Friday Feels: Kind & Compassionate

    My Friday thoughts:  Kindness and Compassion are choices I can make every day. I know that I’m an optimist and an idealist; people have been telling me so my whole life, as though in pointing out the obvious I will somehow change. But why? Who would benefit from my being less than who I am? I want to live in a world where kindness matters. I want to be around people who are quick to show compassion for others and who model goodness regularly. We’ve all seen enough of people being awful to each other. We’re well aware of what…

    Mantra : I am a Warrior, and I Choose Love

    You can be both a Lover and a Fighter You can be both a Lover and a Fighter. You can choose to reach out and build bridges of understanding, safety, compassion and caring while taking a firm & clear stance against fear-based things like bigotry, racism, xenophobia, homophobia, and sexism. This is a call to action, not a call to violence.  This is a call to take actions that bring you into alignment with your ideals. This is a call to take the highest road and choose the most excellent path. This is a call to build bridges, not burn…

    Friday Feels: Sad, But Hopeful

    If you are feeling sad today, like so many of us are- know that it’s OK. You are allowed to feel what you feel, and though I wish everyone would honor and respect your feelings- they won’t, so you have to. Feelings are primal. They are common to all, but show up in us individually at different times and with different prompting. They are real, and powerful, and valid. So feel whatever it is that YOU feel- and in kind, allow others their feelings though they differ from your own. It’s OK. For me, there is a lot of sadness…
