    #MondayMantra Seek the Best

    Even as I write this, I am dealing with a personal situation that is seriously trying my patience and causing me to question the motives of the other parties involved. It is disappointing and disheartening, but I will still hold on to hope because I believe it is a misunderstanding. I will still offer space for the people involved to make things right- because in so doing, it allows them to rise to the occasion.  Hoping and activating for the best outcome also keeps me from becoming bitter and cynical. However this one plays out, it is teaching me to…

    Just Let That Sh!t Go

    We all experience the so-called “negative” emotions such as Sadness, Anger, and Fear throughout our lives as a result of experiencing unpleasant circumstances or even traumatic events. It’s OK to feel these, and it’s important to express them in healthy ways. It’s when we avoid feeling them and resist expressing them that we develop Emotional Constipation, and the shitty feelings begin to pile up and block our ability to fully enjoy life. Sadness untreated slips into Depression. Anger left untended turns into Rage. Fear left to fester turns into Phobia, and can further devolve into Hate. The path back to…

    #FridayFeels FLOW

    FUN FACT: I’ve worked my whole life on addressing my control-freak tendencies, but for as far as I’ve come in releasing my Kung Fu grip there is always another life lesson for me in the art of letting shit go. Even though I practice regular “clearing” it is amazing to me how much stuff I still manage to cling to… from trinkets and knick-knacks gathering dust to outdated beliefs that seek to hold me down. Today, I encourage you to take a step forward with me in releasing, in allowing, in letting go. What is one area of your life…

    Finding the Light in a Time of Loss

    Loss, you are indeed one painful Teacher. Never once have you given me a life lesson that didn’t hurt in greater or lesser degrees and send shock waves to my very core, drawing cleansing tears from deep within my being. Not. Once. And this, I believe, is something that connects all life on some higher level, though we may fight like hell to avoid experiencing it. It’s not one of the Fun Feelings, but Loss does hold vital lessons for us whenever we are ready to see them- lessons that are only won the hard way. Lessons like strength, perseverance,…

    #MondayMantra I Am Not Afraid to Use My Voice

    Too often, we go through life being shushed, silenced, squelched or shut out of the conversation, unseen and unheard. This is not OK. Today I want you to know that your voice matters. What you have to say and contribute, matters. Your questions matter. Your opinions and perspectives, they matter.  By bravely using your voice and speaking out, speaking up, and speaking for, you have the ability to bring balance and clarity and truth to the surface. You wield the power that shapes destiny, writes history, and heals the world simply by using your voice, so don’t waste another minute…

    #FridayFeels Ready For Relaxing

    Oh man, I sure do love how Friday feels! Even when I have work or other projects lined up for the weekend, something about a Friday afternoon just feels so relaxing and inviting.  Ease yourself into the slower pace that weekends can bring. Plan a special mini-adventure of tea sipping, window shopping, flower smelling, beach bumming, star gazing or whatever you especially enjoy that takes you away from the daily grind for a couple of hours. Relax, you deserve it!

    Stop Criticizing Yourself

    Behind every harsh self-criticism is a tender soul who just wants to feel supported. You, Dear One, have heard more than your fair share of criticism throughout your life, and it’s time you put a stop to it. Instead of being your own worst critic, become your own biggest ally. Abandon the nit-picking and instead offer yourself the grace you’d gladly give to your very best friend! I want you to realize that you are no longer bound to impossible standards of perfection, no matter what that nagging voice from the past may say. You, Dear One, were created as…
