Start a revolution of love, joy, and happiness.

Who will tell whether one happy moment of love or the joy of breathing or walking on a bright morning and smelling the fresh air, is not worth all the suffering and effort which life implies. ~Erich Fromm, German Social Psychologist and Humanistic Philosopher It seems people these days are focused on all kinds of negativity. If we get too wrapped up in it all, we end up infected by the germs of discontent and unrest. It appears that there is so much resistance to rational thi

Because you don’t have to go this life alone!

“I wrote your name in my heart, and forever it will stay.” Rumi Look around. Take it all in. Instead of feeling separate from your surroundings, feel connected. The trees that provide a canopy of shade for you. The sun that provides nourishment with its light for you. The breeze that offers a simple caress fro you. The water that hydrates you inside and out. Nature that invites you to the dance each day. Then there are the people who cross your path daily. Seemingly str

Never quit, never quit, never quit!

“If you live long enough, you’ll make mistakes. But if you learn from them, you’ll be a better person. It’s how you handle adversity, not how it affects you. The main thing is never quit, never quit, never quit.” William J. Clinton If you dream big, don’t get discouraged on the journey. As long as you put one foot in front of the other, you are one step closer to realizing your dream than you were the day before. So never quit! If you dream big, don’t let mistakes turn you a

Small acts of kindness make the biggest difference!

“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.” – Leo Buscaglia This is a beautiful way to live your life. To really care about others. To really extend yourself by giving love to others. By being present to others through kindness. When you act in this manner, you may turn another’s life around and at the same make the bigg

Deal with the mystery and cage door will magically open!

“Deal first with whatever is causing you the greatest emotional distress. Often this will break the logjam in your work and free you up mentally to complete other tasks.” Brian Tracy Author One of my biggest challenge is to face my fears and tackle what I am avoiding most. My life can only flow when I address the issues that keep coming up over and over again- you know the ones that you just hope will disappear on their own. It is easy to get distracted and not face certain

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

Service to humanity as the ultimate goal!

“The sole meaning of life is to serve humanity.” Leo Tolstoy What does it mean to be humane? Is it a life marked by compassion, sympathy, or consideration for other humans and animals. Is it an awareness of the essence of the other? Is it the embodiment of respect to love of our neighbors like we would like them to love us? I believe the answer to these questions is a clear and resounding yes. And where the goal in life is to be humane in direct connection with others, t

Realize that you are more than enough!

Realize that you are more than enough! “Leroy bet me I couldn’t find a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, and I told him that was a stupid bet because the rainbow was enough.” Rita Mae Brown There are times in life where there is that unsettled feeling stirring within. As we perceive and witness others having it all by virtue of wealth and /or fame, thoughts may arise telling us that we are not good enough, we do not have enough, or that life is just unfair. Usually wh

Take a Leap of Faith and Fly!

“Come to the edge, he said. They said: We are afraid. Come to the edge, he said. They came. He pushed them and they flew. . . “ Guillaume Apollinaire Do not be limited by your fear. When you are entrenched in fear, it can be paralyzing, you cannot move. Sometimes it is less painful to take the risk then to stay in the painful place of what we know. Sometimes tolerable risk coupled with your wise intuition can be just the thing that can set you free from your imaginary cag

Choose your music and start climbing the staircase!

“My soul can find no staircase to Heaven unless it be through Earth’s loveliness.” Michelangelo Lovely. The word lovely just rolls off the tongue. It takes the word love and and makes it flow. How lovely! The soul is lovely. All of our souls are lovely. As I write this, I imagine my soul dancing in step to the music of a lovely beautiful song. One that is light and airy. One that feels like a prayer. One where the instruments act in perfect unison, a collaboration that opens

La Bella Vita- stop and smell the roses!

“Plenty of people miss their share of happiness, not because they never found it, but because they didn’t stop to enjoy it.” William Feather 1889-1981, Publisher and Author Stop looking to be happy. Just decide to BE happy. I am sure that we all have heard it said that attitude is everything. So with that in mind, take on your attitude of gratitude and just declare to the universe- “today no matter what – I choose to be happy.” Look all around you and delight in the here an

Plant the seeds of love in your consciousness today!

“Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring.” Oscar Wilde Perhaps today is a day that you focus your energy on the love that resides in your heart. As Spring begins and for most the end of Winter is near, we begin to look forward to or feel the renewed warmth that the sunshine brings. After a season of rest, the flo

My Healers #3- Psychotherapy and Laya!

It was a Friday morning. I was on my way to work. It was a long and particularly difficult week. My husband was out of town at a CFP Conference since the previous Sunday. The stress and anxiety of the week was pretty high. Only a superwoman could handle all of this, i I was falling severely short of the superhero status. It was January, the start of 2012, a New Year, hoping it was a new beginning. Nine months had passed and the memory and loss of my mom was still fresh in my

Endurance through tough times!

“Become more spiritual. Spend more time praying, giving, helping others, loving. Volunteer and express generosity and love. Get rid of pride, ego, selfishness, anger, guilt, vanity and ambition. Spend less time accumulating things, worrying, being in the past or the future, hurting others or being violent in any way. . . You are immortal. You are here to learn, to grow wise, to become God-like. What you learn here you take with you when you die. You cannot take anything e

Support Group #3- Soul sisters and Soul Talk

About four years ago, my friend Teda and I went to a meditation at the local Brahma Kumaris (sp?). I don’t remember exactly what happened, but when we left the meditation we decided to start our own group and call it Soul Talk. I remember the first one, there were four of us discussing Don Miguel Ruiz’s book about Love. it was the first of many wonderful nights amongst friends (who I can now call my sisters as well). The group may have had core members but we were always o

Support Group #2- Emmaus

In 2006, I was encouraged to go on a local catholic retreat called Emmaus. Because I adored my friend Teda and really respected her advice, I searched out the retreat at my local parish. I went on that retreat and met amazing women. It was such a beautiful experience to find spiritual connections within my immediate community. I had been searching for a group like this and was so lucky for the introduction. The only critique that I had about the retreat is that it only tak

Enchanted by your light and magic!

“ No matter how you are feeling, get up every morning and prepare to let your light shine forth. Those with eyes to see will see and be enchanted by it.” Paulo Coelho, Manuscript Found in Accra Each of us has a light within. It is there, there is no denying it! Question is do you want to let it shine? We cannot blame other people if we don’t. It is our duty and choice to tap into the light that each one of us has been given. It is our choice in life to walk out into

Power of Positive Doing!

“Whatever our path, whatever the color or grain of our days, whatever riddles we must solve to stay alive, the secret of life somehow always has to do with the awakening and freeing of what has been asleep.” Mark Nepo It is time to WAKE UP! I am not saying to just wake up your body to function on a daily basis and get by. I say wake up your inner spirit so instead of crawling you can fly, soar in fact! Have you ever looked up in the sky and see the birds effortlessly make th

Forgiveness brings promise for a new beginning!

Forgiveness is the answer to the child’s dream of a miracle by which what is broken is made whole again, what is soiled is made clean again. Dag Hammarskjold As we are poised to leave one year and enter another, we all look forward to a fresh new start by setting out resolutions that will catapult our hopes, dreams and desires. During these last days of 2012, I myself wish for a clean slate where, while difficult, I can do my best to put resentments in the past, place my d
