Finding Freedom in Forgiveness!

“The secret to happiness is freedom… and the secret to freedom is courage.” Thucydides The Secret to Happiness is Freedom When I resigned from my government job, I dreamt of experiencing the thrill of freedom. I was determined to manifest my new destiny as an entrepreneur. As a twenty year professional in the field of law, I grew weary of punching a clock day in and day out. Knowing I gave it my all on the daily, freedom from lookin over my shoulder for a manager on the warpa

Detox: It’s Time to Free Your Mind, Body, and Spirit!

Just got back from a weekend away with my family, my first tribe. I needed it so desperately. Lots going on. Life seems to be moving at such a rapid pace lately. A weekend to just slow down and connect outside of my everyday routine is exactly what the doctor ordered. Coming back, I feel compelled to detox, typically defined as a process or period of time in which I get to abstain from or rid my body of toxic or unhealthy substances. But I find, it is not just my body that n

The Prize, remember to keep your eyes on it!

“You keep your eyes on the prize, you try to do what’s right, and eventually, you’ll reach your goal.” Eric Holder Eyes on the Prize! Happiness and Freedom are the prize! Those beautiful words that sing a promise of acceptance, hope, transformation and most of all love! That golden prize that beckons all of us to take the next best step and move forward. But, why does it feel like an elusive goal? What are the blocks that come up that keep us from a liberation from fear and

Seriously-If you are prisoner of your own making, time for liberation!

“We cannot change anything until we accept it.” Carl Jung There are times in life that we feel restricted by the thoughts that pervade our minds. These thoughts threaten to hinder instead of bolster us on our journey. Oh how we get here mired in the mud, consumed by negativity like quicksand when we allow them to overwhelm. But peering into the looking glass, we get a glimpse of two futures. One where we sit in this prison, feeling sorry for ourselves and stuck in inaction.

Excerpt from La Bella Farfalla: Preface — Enjoy!

“I dreamed I was a butterfly, flying in the sky; then I awoke. Now I wonder, am I a man who dreamt of being a butterfly, or am I a butterfly dreaming that I am a man?” Chuang Tzu I once had a dream that I was a beautiful spirit. I was free and flitting here and there, everywhere, just experiencing life. I remembered it was a time when I experienced the world as it came to me and through me as mystical, magical and miraculous. I remembered just existing in nature as one wit

My Year of Empowerment: Freedom to be the light the wise ones seek!

“You are the light of the world.” Matthew 5:14 I attended three beautiful Holiday gatherings this weekend: with one, I was surrounded by my beautiful family by birth and the others, my beautiful family by choice. All very welcome opportunities as I navigate this newfound freedom gently setting boundaries for myself, at the same time trying not to isolate in the process. While my new world experience building my own business has me alone more than I would like, it has proven t

My Year of Empowerment: Time is fleeting, reminder to play!

“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” Eleanor Roosevelt I am a keeper of my dreams. Yes, you heard that right! When I wake in the morning, there lies a dream journal next to my bed (in reality, I grab whatever I can write on so I don’t lose the message- even my hand if necessary for if you don’t do it immediately it can be lost!) Last night, while the details of my dream remain fuzzy, I did focus in on a cuckoo clock. For those of you who do

My Year of Magical Thinking: Freedom in Disappointment

“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Albert Einstein I am humbled by life day after day. Its grandeur, its splendor, its turmoil, its challenges. And there I am, at the center of what I experience. Sometimes I am a part of the problem, yet as I become aware, I am more and more a part of the solution. However, in a battle of wills, it seems that there are times when my determination and perseverance are outwitted by the na

Freedom to be!

Our role in life is to bring the light of our own souls to the dim places around us. ~Joan Chittister, Benedictine nun, author, and speaker If the journey is to be gratifying, you, the traveler, must be authentic in all that you do. Enlightenment no longer has to be hard earned, once you finally decide to wake up and just be you! Rise and shine; now is your time. You have come so far only to realize that you are perfect just as you are. In a world that may tell you otherwise,

Onward, freedom to create a new ending!

Though no one can go back and make a brand-new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand-new ending. ~Carl Bard Be grateful for the knowledge that you do not have to go back and change what has occurred in the past. For it is true, alas, that you cannot. What truth you must live is to start today and make the changes necessary to fulfill your dreams, live your passions, and dwell in a place of love and goodness. Imagine, just because you woke this morning, you get thi

Choose to keep your soul alive~

“To know what you prefer instead of humbly saying Amen to what the world tells you that you ought to prefer, is to have kept your soul alive.” Robert Louis Stevenson Why would you give your choices away so willingly when you can live the life you prefer? With courage, you can take a stand. You are given a wonderful mind that can examine life as it comes. You are given feelings that allow your body to assist with the decision making process. You are a thinker, a feelers and

Let your light shine!

“As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” Marianne Williamson Each one of you brings your own special light to this world. You were born with the one purpose to let it shine. The brighter you allow your light to shine in this world, the more you will have an incredible influence on others daily. Can you imagine a world where you embrace your

Take time to dream!

“It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.” Paulo Coelho When we don’t take the time to dream, we are susceptible to get caught up in the routine of everyday comings and goings. When we fail to dream, we are subject to losing sight of the beauty that surrounds us with all the magic it holds. When we forget to stop and schedule moments to just be and dream, we miss out on that precious time to connect with that place inside waiting to blosso

This weekend set yourself free!

“I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.” Michelangelo Buonarroti This is your greatest job or responsibility in your life, to set yourself free. As the artist/sculptor/painter of the greatest masterpiece-YOU, you are tasked each day to envision the beautiful spirit that lies within, to figure out how to nurture its growth and when you are ready, set it free so the world may know you better.

Freedom lies in exercising your choice to follow your truth!

“God isn’t about making good things happen to you, or bad things happen to you. He’s all about you making choices–exercising the gift of free will. God wants you to have good things and a good life, but He won’t gift wrap them for you. You have to choose the actions that lead you to that life.” ― Jim Butcher The truth will set you free. If you are looking for freedom, why? It is there, inside you ripe for the taking. The question is will you choose your truth, will you pick

Glorious Living is a State of Mind-

Glorious Living is a State of Mind- “Everyone can have a luxury life. It’s a state of mind. It’s not necessarily about having the biggest house. It’s about living life to the fullest.” Paul Miklas Developer The old adage “you cannot buy happiness” rings true. Material things may give you pleasure for a moment in time, but it will never replace the warm embrace of a loved one. The richest individuals I know are surrounded by love, are enveloped by joy, and are connected to

Build a bridge towards trust rather than a wall of isolation!

Build a bridge towards trust rather than a wall of isolation! “If your guard is up, let it down. If you’ve constructed a defensive wall to protect yourself and keep all the bad guys out, don’t forget who that wall also prevents from getting in – the good guys.” Brendon Burchard Author and Marketing Expert Instead of building a wall to protect your heart and soul, start building a bridge that will take you towards love and trust.

No greater freedom than awareness!

“Action without vision is only passing time, vision without action is merely day dreaming, but vision with action can change the world.” Nelson Mandela Former President of South Africa He is free, not me! I often thought this as I passed the homeless man under the bridge. What a crazy notion, but is it true? I run from one place to another, sometimes with my checklist in mind. Not thinking, not stopping, no vision, perhaps just passing time. Consciousness, my father would
