Life- what a magical ride it can be!

Like a beautiful story to be told, there are rich blessings to behold while at the same time life-altering challenges that unfold. While you move forward on the path of your hero’s journey, you may not get to decide what happens to you, but you do get to choose how you react. Doing your best to show up authentically every day, you may need some inspiration and support along the way to help you see the silver lining or find the magical connections.

Here, I offer insights to start a soul conversation to help you continue on your magical journey to bliss, to assist with tools to sparkle & shine brighter, and to encourage you to awaken to create a better story for your life!

My Year of Transformation: It’s Christmastime, change and let the magic begin!

“You know what the issue is with this world? Everyone wants a magical solution to their problem, and everyone refuses to believe in magic.” Alice in Wonderland It was six years ago I lost my mom. 1…2…3…4…5…6!!! And yesterday as my husband brought out the Christmas decorations, it hit me once again like a ton of bricks, she is not here. Why did it come at me from out of the blue? This year has not been an incredibly festive one all around. Yes there have been moments of great

A letter of gratitude to my mother on this 4th anniversary!

Dear Mom: While I have always thought that anniversaries mark major life events or accomplishments to celebrate, it almost seems like an oxymoron to think that I could ever celebrate 4 years without you. In actuality, what I celebrate today is that we, my family and I, did not give up after you, our center, moved on to “that better place.” I hope that it has been a better place for you. It seems like this world has gotten more cynical since your departure, yet there still c

Breathe-it really is your choice!

“Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do. Don’t bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself.” William Faulkner 1897-1962, Writer Welcome to the year of shining your light for the world to see! When you follow your dreams and shoot higher than you believe is possible, what ensues thereafter is a change in your definition as to what you believe is possible. When you go within and tap into that light source t

Excerpt from The Sunrise of My Soul’s Bliss-The Process of Letting Go by Grabbing on to an Imp

The Process of Letting Go by Grabbing on to an Impossible “Oprah” Dream As the inevitable was creeping closer and closer, I refused to even allow any doubt that my mother would not recover to enter my consciousness. While I had experienced depression before when I was coping with the life changes of having a baby, I had never contemplated the kind of depression that accompanied grief. At this point in time, I was not willing to accept the real possibility that I would face a

When you hit rock bottom, there is only one way to go – UP!

“Rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.” J.K. Rowling Novelist We all grow spiritually as a result of many different life events. Some of the most profound instances of growth in my life have come as a result of necessity because of loss, dissatisfaction with life circumstance or feelings of helplessness. It is in these moments or experiences that I have discovered who is supporting me and I have discovered what I am made of. While transformati

Miracles happen when we trust!

Miracles happen when we trust! “No matter how soft we pray..God listens & understands. HE knows our hopes & fears we keep in our hearts. And when we trust in His love..miracles happen!” -Unknown I am feeling a need to control outcomes. Perhaps that is because I feel out of control. Not knowing what the future holds, I stir impatiently as I attempt to sit in the moment. When I try to get silent and offer my hopes and dreams to God in a fleeting moment of prayer, I return to

Something greater awaits you-Trust that!

“You are a process. The universe is a process. Everything around you is a process. Be in touch with that process and trust it. Trust the unfolding of your life and see what you have to learn from that.” Ann Wilson Schaff, PH.D. Trust. A concept that can be very difficult when people have failed to meet our expectations in life or events have not turned out as we wanted. On the surface, we may be wanting or desiring something that we believe has always been ours. And, wh

Pay attention, your soul is calling!

“Sometimes you hear a voice through the door calling you. . . This turning toward what you deeply love saves you.” Rumi Ever have the experience where you are moving through the routine of your day with your checklist in hand, going through the motions and not really thinking about what you are doing then something happens that stops you in your tracks? Like a bolt of lightning, the event wakes up your zest and enthusiasm for life and you start to feel alive again. Your se

Perfectly flawed!

“There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in.” Leonard Cohen Why is it that as human beings we experience times of tremendous struggle? Why is it that we are often faced with overwhelming obstacles to the realization of our dreams? Why is it that so many challenging lessons appear on our journey? And, ultimately why must we fail over and over before we learn from mistakes? I suppose one way of looking at these questions is as follows: without the struggl

Life lessons all around- ready to discover?

“Everything we need to learn is always there before us: we just have to look around us with respect and attention in order to discover where God is leading us and which step we should take next.” Paulo Coelho, The Zahir I am dedicating this week to trusting the process of life. So to begin with this theme, I challenge everyone to give up the idea that we have control over the circumstances that surround us and make a decision to believe that every opportunity in our lives ar

It is a New Day!

Next week marks the 2nd anniversary of my mother’s passing. I never knew that the whole grieving process would be so difficult (something noone really tells you – nor how could they-it is so individual to the person going through it!) It is Sunday, April 7th. Over 1 year and half ago, I never thought that i would make it through this process. I had an incredible fear of death that was paralyzing. I could not get myself “out of the closet” so to speak. I would function- ge
