Finding the light
This month, seventeen years ago this month, I lost my father. February 14th, 1997. While most celebrate love on this day, I experience a range of emotions. Each year, I feel the pain in my heart, the pain of loss and a love for my Dad that is so deep. Yet I also feel the abundance of love, the presence of my father in my life and the gratitude for [...]
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! I love the energy of a new year. With the new cycle, it symbolizes a collective rebirth and opportunity to create what you most desire. If you dread creating resolutions (making a list of what you "should do") for the new year, I encourage you to follow your heart, throw out the resolutions and make a list of goals. In making resolutions, we tend to set ourselves [...]
How to Float When You’re About to Sink
Thank you to all of you for your responses to my last blog post! If you missed it, you can find it here. At the end of the post, I posed a question asking, “What is stirring inside of you yearning to be expressed?” In my experience, a block in creative expression can cause great pain in life. We are here to create. In fact, we are constantly creating in [...]
Art. Creativity. Expression. Fear. Love.
Last week I experienced my first art showing. Prior to the show, I felt great excitement and creativity flowing mixed with a subtle fear of being seen- my art seen and exposed to be judged by the eyes of the world. I took note of the differing emotions as I continued to prepare for the show. Until recently, painting has been more of a transformational tool for me. First, to [...]
A weekend with Caroline Myss & Dr. Norm Shealy
I recently had the opportunity to attend a Medical Intuition seminar with Dr. Norm Shealy and Caroline Myss. It was an incredible weekend full of learning about health and what makes it work. As I continue to process the information, the message that has captured my spirit is one of love and of the sacred. Dr. Shealy resonated with my mind and heart stating that “everything that distracts you from [...]
Do you believe in the impossible?
Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible. -Francis of Assisi When the subconscious mind is trained to work with the conscious mind, the impossible is possible. The secret is to awaken the greatness within and give full expression to its power. Nature is our greatest teacher. As the falls season arrives, we are reminded that all of life and nature are in [...]
Feeling Stuck?
After an incredible day of creating a new home office space, I woke up the next day excited to complete the project. I went to yoga, had breakfast with a friend, dropped my old desk off at Goodwill and headed home. The feeling of excitement grew more and more as I planned to organize all of my teaching manuals, personal journals, the completed book that I spent years writing (and [...]
What does your environment say about you?
I believe that our environment is a true reflection of our inner core. For the past year, my home office has been more of an art studio than an actual office. In 2012, I was obsessed with painting- using art as a vehicle to overcome fear in my life and help others to overcome theirs. As 2013 continues to fly by, I have not created one piece of art!! I [...]
