    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…

    #FridayFeels Free/Festive

    December 23, 2016 - By 

    I do love so many things about this time of year: Winter Solstice, My Birthday, Christmas, Holiday Lights, 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, and it can put a…

    #MondayMantra 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 the…

    #MondayMantra Practice Peace

    December 5, 2016 - By 

    Mantra: 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 peace…

    When Things Go Sideways 

    November 30, 2016 - By 

    We all have those days.  You know the kind I’m talking about, right? The ones that you have carefully and thoughtfully planned out with a neat list of manageable tasks to check off, a few scheduled appointments, and some wonderful self-care all lined up. Ahhhh, heavenly!  Except… It all goes sideways. Someone gets sick. Meals get skipped. Self-care gets sabotaged. Deadlines get missed.  You find yourself going from blissed-out to pissed-off, and from boss on top of your game to curled up in fetal position under a blanket.   My last sideways day looked a little something like this:  The…
