My water bottle shared great wisdom with me this morning. I am reminded that when we create peace within, we can then live it out and share with those around us. If the troubles around the world are weighing heavily on you, take heart. There is hope. Affirm with me: I won’t be overcome by the doom and gloom. I will create peace in my head and my heart. I will create peace wherever I am. ❤️

The funny thing about being known as a “happy person” or a “positive person” is that when (not IF) something triggers the ugly feelings to come up, or you are having a rough day, or you just want to hide yourself away from the rest of the world for a hot minute- you tell yourself that you can’t do that. Or maybe someone, well-meaning or otherwise, tells you that you can’t do that. Somehow, somewhere along the path you were told or shown that it’s not OK to not be OK. Somehow, somewhere along the path you were told or…

My body loves to move! It loves to walk, wiggle, jiggle, skip, stretch, dance, sway, and sashay. It loves to stroll, roll, slide, swim, shimmy, stomp, step, soar and so much more! Today, to the best of your ability, give your body permission to have fun. Release any stagnant energy and refresh yourself with a good stretch. Move in ways that feel good to you. Work up a sweat. Appreciate your muscles doing their thing, supporting you in complete freedom. Movement feels so good!

Happy Solstice, Loves! Here in the Northern Hemisphere it is the first day of summer, and being a Southern California girl, for me that means pure magic and l-o-v-e. ❤️ The warmer weather naturally makes me want to wear fewer (and lighter) clothes. Bare arms! Fluttery skirts! Swimwear! Booty shorts! …Okay, that last one stays indoors and only in front of the cats and/or the boyfriend. Now, I realize this is easier wished for than done when you are dealing with body image issues- something until recently I struggled with most of my life. I’ve done the work of going…

All over this beautiful world, there are dark waves of sadness, tragedy, pain and suffering. I believe that at the roots of these is a bitter and stagnant pool of hatred, ignorance and apathy. It would be easy to give up, to stop caring, to give in. But there is another way. A more challenging & rewarding way. A more excellent way. A more powerful & beautiful way. I choose to stand on the side of Love, and I invite you to stand with me. Today and everyday, I Choose Love.
