3 keys to a successful transition: Follow your calling, Get curious, and BE of service to others!

“Life is one big transition.” Will Stargell, American professional baseball player Tales of personal transformation are the stuff of story-telling, legends, and even fairy tales. We gain inspiration from the folklore of the ugly duckling who believed in herself and became the beautiful swan; the down on her luck creative who persisted over and over again despite overwhelming odds until the big break came and success was hers; and the girl who chose to leave a life of shoulds

The Dreaded Question: What’s Next?

“Surrender to what is. Let go of what was. Have faith in what will be.” Sonia Ricotti Omg-the dreaded question escaped the lips of a well intentioned friend and mentor. I knew it was coming, I just was too tired to face it. I did not know if it would empower me, inspire me or just break me after all the energy I put out already. Just two simple words, yet they packed a big punch. And once released, the twang of those one syllable combination of daggers reverberated in my ear

Another Day of Love: When We Start With Love, Something wonderful just might be happening here!

I organize a lot of events and celebrations. I go to a lot of events and celebrations. I have always believed that whoever is meant to be there will be there. So by letting go of what I consider to be a success, I free myself up to set my intentions and trust the universe to do its thing, conspire in favor of my highest good! Last night I went to an event called Made 2 Love hosted by a beautiful woman whose mission it is to show love to young girls and help them to love thems

When your inner imposter threatens to dictate your journey, choose love now and set your soul ablaze

“Love in its essence is spiritual fire.” Seneca From a place of love, I find that we can manifest anything!! Love is the spiritual fire that will catapult each one of us on a journey filled with curiosity, beauty, connectedness and the like. And because we are spiritual beings having a physical human experience, as powerful energetic beings, we need to take the time each and every day to get still and go to the center of our being to tap into the “source” that will allow each

It’s time-Come dream with me!

“What God intended for you goes far beyond anything you could ever imagine.” Oprah Breathe. It is time to take deep breaths. In. Breathe in life. Out. Exhale and release all that holds you back. It plays out like an energetic dance. Take it in – let it out. Just like a wave about to hit the shore, the energy of the ocean pushes it forward, then pulls it as it rolls back to build up once again. The water hydrates the shore and molds the sands of time. Moment by moment. Thes

The Empowered Artist

What do you think about when you hear the term the “Empowered Artist”? I think of the person who works on a daily basis to hone their skills at a particular task or occupation. I see in my mind’s eye the creative ones who take time out of their busy day to align with the beautiful magic that is waiting to pour from their soul. I listen for the wisdom of those who have memorialized their discoveries and have lent a hand to further innovation. And, I watch for those who ne

My Year of Magical Thinking: Act as if it were impossible to fail!

“We all have beliefs anyway, why not make them beliefs in good, in the fine ends of man, in abundance, in health, in vigor, in integrity? Let us use the word faith to mean overcoming negative thought. . . Let us take up faith like a sword, and by using it, overcome all things.” Uell S. Anderson Is it possible that the biggest obstacle to bringing in amazing energy into your life is YOU? Can it be that you are your own saboteur? What if that were true, and at your very essence

Appreciate the diverse flowers in your “people bouquet.”

To know someone here or there with whom you can feel there is understanding in spite of distances or thoughts expressed. That can make life a garden. ~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, German writer and statesman Our relationships are so important. They are our first glimpse of what it feels like to be fully connected and loved. Beginning with what we identified as our mother or father’s love, we felt a sense of peace and protection in our parents’ arms. Later, our siblings and fri

The magical power of words used well.

Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it. ~William Arthur Ward, American inspirational writer When we start to believe how powerful words can be, we are reminded to use them wisely.

With a single verbal expression of gratitude, we have the oppo

When you get enthusiastic about the opportunity to live your life on any given day, then what was once ordinary transforms into the extraordinary. When you wake to the passion within, you will start to notice n

Find peace in gratitude.

Life has to be more simple. We have so many gifts. If you want peace, open your eyes to what you have around you and say thank-you. ~Beverly Donofrio, American memoirist and author of Astonished Life gets hectic because we choose to layer on expectation over expectation. Life can get very stressful because we are encouraged daily to work harder, acquire more, and participate in the rat race. Life can be unfulfilling because we seek to fill the void by looking outside of ourse

The magical allure of appreciation.

Appreciation can make a day, even change a life. Your willingness to put it into words is all that is necessary. ~Margaret Cousins, Irish-Indian educationist, suffragist, and theosophist There is magic in expressing appreciation. When you acknowledge acts of love in any form, you are magically welcoming more to come. If someone supported you during a difficult time, let that person know how important his or her presence was. If you have succeeded in life because someone belie

Quench your thirst with gratitude.

Let’s choose today to quench our thirst for the “good life” we think others lead by acknowledging the good that already exists in our lives. We can then offer the universe the gift of our grateful hearts. ~Sarah Ban Breathnach, American author of Simple Abundance Showing an attitude of gratitude is amazing, powerful, and healing.

Be grateful for challenges.

I am grateful for all of my problems. After each one was overcome, I became stronger and more able to meet those that were still to come. I grew in all my difficulties. ~James Cash Penney, American entrepreneur and founder of the J.C. Penney Stores It is in the discomfort of life that we truly get to know who we are and what we are made of. If we went through life never experiencing heartache or challenges, we would never know what we are capable of surviving. Facing challeng
