    #FridayFeels Sad, But Hopeful

    November 11, 2016 - By 

    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…

    Together, We Must Move Forward 

    November 9, 2016 - By 

    “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” Today, half of my country is celebrating.  Or if they are not actually celebrating, they are at least relieved that their candidate won.  They feel that their voice was heard.  If you are among the people in this category, I do offer my congratulations and send my love. Today, half of my country is devastated.  As I watched in shock and complete disbelief last night, I felt so much sadness and pain for the sharp division.  And in many ways, the world around us is kinda freaking out.…

    #MondayMantra Is This What Love Looks Like?

    November 7, 2016 - By 

    Today’s Monday Mantra is a question instead of an affirmation or a statement. It’s the most important question you can ask yourself: Is this what Love looks like? Because we are created from Love, fueled by Love, and searching our whole lives to connect with Love, it’s the single most important truth to live out each and every day.  It’s the most important question to ask ourselves whenever there is doubt about our thoughts, our actions, or choices- or following the actions of others. Is this what Love looks like? Live Love. Show Love. Demonstrate Love. Speak Love. Support Love.…

    #FridayFeels: Wealth & Gratitude

    November 4, 2016 - By 

    I recently shared this in a group on Facebook called Wealth, Worth, & Wisdom started by my cousin, Nicole Lewis-Keeber .  You can read more about her on one of my recent “Friday Faves” interviews here. Anyway, I shared the following story with her group as encouragement and I hope you will enjoy it as well. I would love to share something wonderfully abundant, if you’ll indulge me. I’ve been practicing small gratitudes whenever a tiny bit of extra or unexpected money comes my way. Literally as small as a found penny! “Thank You! This makes me happy. I welcome more,…

    Proud Mama Moment

    November 2, 2016 - By 

    Y’all, I just love my son so damn much! In 29 years he’s never really asked for “stuff” for birthdays or Christmas gifts. Maybe it’s because we were SO POOR and scraping to get by for so many years. Maybe it’s because he’s just a beautiful human despite all the odds stacked against him. All I know is, he’s hella hard to shop for and I couldn’t be more proud: I love you, Joe! ❤️ Would you like to join my private email list? It’s where I share awesomeness with my tribe of wild & beautiful butterfly souls.

    #MondayMantra I Eliminate My Limitations

    October 31, 2016 - By 

    How many times have you talked yourself out of following a dream or pursuing the life that you want to live? How often does the phrase “I can’t because ______” come out of your mouth when what you really want is to just do the thing? Fear often holds us back from doing really stupid and dangerous things, which is not bad. The problem comes when Fear decides it wants to control everything and prevents us from going after the awesome things we really want in life. That’s where our limiting beliefs about ourselves are born, where they grow, and…

    #MondayMantra I Am A Dreamer of Beautiful Dreams 

    October 24, 2016 - By 

    You are a dreamer of beautiful dreams! The dreams that live in your heart are no joke. They chose you specifically, and are worth following.  It doesn’t matter if they don’t make sense to anyone else; they aren’t supposed to, because they are meant for you.  They are a glittering gift, perfectly designed to ignite your deepest passions and fill you with unmatchable delight. Your dreams, if you decide to follow them, will challenge and shape and fulfill you in ways you could not imagine!  Do not think for a minute that they won’t. That dream inside you today, that…

    Friday Faves: A Farewell to My Friend, Michael Powell

    October 22, 2016 - By 

    My first time writing one of these “Friday Faves” was to feature my friend Mikey, a dear friend, talented musician, and gifted photographer.  He was the Luke Skywalker to my Princess Leia, a beautiful and gentle soul with a heart of fire and gold.  He was supportive of my work and always had kind, encouraging words for me- really, for everyone he came in contact with. Every gorgeous photo of me on here I owe to him. When my father died, I gave his cool old cameras and gear to Mike and he was so stoked. Our last photo shoot, just…

    #MondayMantra Stand In Your Power

    October 17, 2016 - By 

    Dig deep today, Love. Deeper still.  Take a few minutes to get grounded, get centered, and decide to go through your day firmly rooted in your power. Your power comes from deep within. It is the essence of all creation, the foundation of all that is, all that ever was, and all that is yet to be.  The power that fuels you is eternal and cannot be undone by the temporary. Can you sense it? Awaken and tune in: Do you feel it?   As you move through your day, discern what is temporary and what is eternal. Today, Love,…
