The weather is something none of us can control. It’s also a good example of how little we can actually influence certain things in our lives. We like to think we are in control, and certainly feel better when we have some semblance of it. But the truth is the only thing we can ever [...]
The Healing Powers of Restoration
Life goes in cycles. Sometimes you are on a high; sometimes you are way down low. Sometimes you’re busier than a bee; other times you are not. What I have learned is no matter what phase you are experiencing at this moment, it is important to retreat to a quiet place. Like the cells in [...]
When You Forget to Do What You Love
It’ll be a sad day when I have forgotten to blog simply because I had other things on my mind. It’s been a while, people, but I beg for forgiveness. I’ve been writing. A lot. Just not here. And quite frankly, you readers are on my mind more than you know. Blogging is my passion. [...]
Believe
Do you believe in the power of goodness? Do you believe in the mysteries of the Universe? Do you believe something amazing is about to happen? Belief is the bedrock of our existence. When we lose our faith in someone or something, we get deflated. It’s discouraging, disappointing, despairing. We start to question everything, including [...]
The Law of Attraction
If you have ever been to Venice, you know that it is one of the most beautiful, crowded, tourist-infested cities in the world. It has so many bridges and narrow passageways that you simply have to let go of any expectation that you’ll ever find the same place twice. It is also extraordinarily expensive. So [...]
The Third Eye
Something strange has happened. I see things. Then they come true. It’s spooky, really. Usually those messages come in the form of words or pictures, sometimes in the form of sound. I get a sensation, stop, listen, and have an overwhelming feeling about what’s going to happen next. It freaked my daughter out as she [...]
Soul Time
“The soul doesn’t wear a watch,” yoga expert and HuffPost blogger Ashley Turner recently wrote. Having undergone severe heartache last year, she took time off to reflect, go inward and heal from her loss while eliminating any extraneous input from the outside world. She reminds me of myself. A year ago I stopped watching TV. [...]
Google Head
It was an innocent mistake. Really. And I swear I’m a good listener. Except when I’m not. At lunch the other day, my son was trying to explain the latest video game that has captured his attention. He mumbled something about Zombie Apocalypse, only I heard sun eclipse, which prompted me to correct him with [...]
The Liberation Closure Can Bring
“Closure, when you can get it, is so powerful and liberating,” a friend posted on Facebook this morning. She is so right. Lissa Coffey penned a book entitled Closure that I had the pleasure of reviewing a few years ago. She talks about the importance of tying up loose ends, ending what you have begun [...]
The Spark of the Shadow
Go to the light, the self-help books say. Dance in brightness, live your spark, seek the goodness in all things. And yet, when we go to the light, our shadows follow us. Wherever there is light, there are shadows. Our shadow selves are the dark sides of our being. We are scared of their potential. [...]
