Beginnings
There is great value in remembering that we have the opportunity to start again in every single moment. There is no need to let a mistake, mood, person or anything else be the determining factor of how our day unfolds. Sometimes the choice needs to be made the very moment we step out of bed.…
Read MoreBalance
Finding balance can sometimes feel very elusive. There are days when being in the flow of things is as effortless as blinking. And then there are the other days… On those “other” days, I struggle with allowing myself to freely speak what is on my mind or my heart. I get tangled up in how-or…
Read MorePerception
Not only is perception about what the mind can comprehend, but I believe it also has to do with what the mind holds to be true. They are similar, but quite different. It seems that the start of a new year can easily get people trapped in a space of what things “should” be like…
Read MoreMoments
Going to the quiet within. Listening to the whispers of the heart. Connecting to the love nudges from Spirit. Residing in the silent sanctuary within.

Read MoreStop, Look, Listen
With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I want to offer gratitude for all of the beings-human and otherwise-in my world who remind me to follow my heart and listen to my inner voice. As I mentally go through all of the people, I am gently reminded that this includes all people I have had any…
Read MoreInside
This is an interesting experience for me. I love the poetic beauty of these words, but I am wrestling with allowing that to be in my heart. I was actually attempting to find a different quote to ponder and muse upon today but as it is meant to be…I continually found myself being pulled here.…
Read MoreForgive
Forgiveness: letting go of the hope that the past can be anything other than what it was. What do we hope to gain from holding on to past hurts? What are we trying to prove? Who is really the one being punished? There is a deep understanding that we are the…
