Why on earth would I choose to post a no-makeup, less-than-flattering photo of myself on social media? Because being brave and learning to Love the body I live in sometimes shows up as simply allowing myself to be visible. Even when it’s scary. Even when I feel insecure. Even when I struggle with comparing my body/face/talents/_____ to someone else. Remember this, Loves, YOU are Amazing, exactly as you are. Use this powerful mantra to help you take a step out of the prison of self-shame today: “I choose to show up as my true self.” Would you like to join…

Today’s Monday Mantra is a little different and has more of a teaching element to it than what I typically share. I hope it is helpful to you! This weekend I had a few encounters with Anger, and it was not too pretty. I think it is fair to say that I have always had a low tolerance for bullshit and a strong sense of justice, so whenever something or someone violates my perceived code of Right vs. Wrong, I feel intensely activated. This has not always served me well in the heat of the moment, but it sure has…

Memorial Day is one of 3 annual events set aside for Americans to honor our military service members, along with Veterans Day and Armed Forces Day. Today holds the somber distinction of remembering the men and women who lost their lives while in service, of honoring the fallen on the fields of battle. It’s not so much of a “happy” occasion, though there’s really nothing wrong with celebrating Life while remembering the dead and dearly departed. So on this day, remember the fallen; send a prayer for the heroes who have given the ultimate sacrifice; lay a flower or a…

Ready for a powerful and positive mindset shift? This #MondayMantra is exactly that: “My obstacles are designed to Redirect and Empower me, not to hold me back.” The truth is that we will face a variety of obstacles on the way to our goals, but this doesn’t have to be a bad thing! Tests & trials are all part of the game, and their purpose is to sharpen and strengthen us along our path. It’s only a setback if you decide that it is, so take the power back and find the lesson your obstacle is trying to teach you…

Today’s mantra is a positive affirmation and powerful reminder that we are ready for the next experience, the next adventure, the next lesson, the next step, whenever it is presented to us. Even when we feel unprepared. Even when we feel nervous. Even when we feel afraid. Why? Because even when we “fail” at that next whatever, we are still learning, still growing, still awakening to the discovery of who we are and the strength within. That is where the healing happens. That is what we are ready for! Mantra: Yes, I am Ready for This!

I love the energy shift in the first few days following a full moon. It’s as though there’s a collective release of negative thoughts and emotions and after getting a big hug from the universe, it is easier to set your sights on the possibilities ahead. Set your intentions now for what you want to create, open up to, or reveal in the weeks to come, and get ready to embrace the start of something new!

I’m always impressed with the tenacity of weeds in the city. No matter how much concrete, if there is even a tiny crack in the ground or along a wall, somehow nature finds a way through. I desire to be more like those weeds-pushing back against the hardscape, reaching for the light, blooming wherever I am. Today’s mantra is a powerful reminder: I am like a beautiful weed growing up through the cracks.

Fear of the unknown is a barrier I’m willing to cross more and more often, because regret is a feeling I am less and less willing to tolerate. Today’s mantra is a powerful mindset shift that can help you to take that first step forward to reaching a Dream long held: I’m Willing to Try

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…
