Do you love yourself? Not just the surface parts of the self, but the deepness of the humanness and the soul aspect. The dark shadow and the light shadow? Loving myself fully has been a big part of my spiritual journey, as with most of you. Every day I am learning to...

We all enjoy, love, receiving a gesture, gift from someone. Whether family or friends we cannot deny the excitement of unwrapping a present, even if it doesn’t come with a shiny red bow to slowly untie. The feeling on the inside is the same. “Yay! A present for me!!”...

A few years ago, I began taking part in the November gratitude challenge on Facebook. Every day of the month of November, writing out what I was grateful for. It was a beautiful exercise that brought me into my truths of everything I would forget to be grateful for on...

Zip-lining Through the Fork in the Road I stood on the wooden walkway with heavy metal attachments hanging from my waist, a helmet on and watching as those in front of me were hooked up onto a metal latch and pushed out on a wire that went to the other side of a...

Co-creating A New Perspective I have this victim archetype that I have let consume me ever since I was a child. The “woe is me”, “look what’s happening to me”, “life is a struggle”, “ugh, really life?”. I went around with an energy of wanting people to understand, to...

I see you over there in the shadows Lurking and skirting around in the darkness that you are Waiting for your moment Your moment to pounce… once again. The slew of words coming at me Sometimes so fast that I cannot hear them all But they only get louder and louder...

Everything about the recent election and aftereffects has me pondering, questioning and thinking. And I promise this won’t turn into a political statement for one side or the other. This is just a contemplation of how it has affected me - all the ways that it is...

Recently, I woke up with the full-blown effects of the flu. It came seemingly out of nowhere and I was not happy, basically moaning to Spirit, “Of all the days, this is the day I am sick? This is the moment you choose to have me laying miserably on the couch? My...

At some time or another, you’ve probably said, “I’m sad,” “I’m lonely,” “I’m ecstatic,” or “I’m joyful.” What about “I feel angry,” or “I feel happy”? Do you notice the difference? There is a one… a complete difference. What are you doing with your emotions? Are you...

Waking up from another night’s sleep, my eyes began to flutter open. Feeling somewhat in a daze at first until the slight sting of pain began coming back into my heart. I shut my eyes once again, not really wanting to feel, hoping that it would magically go away. But...

Yesterday, I took some time out for myself and went to the beach for some much needed rest and relaxation with my journal and crystals in hand. It was a beautiful day, not too hot with a little breeze. I found my comfy spot and set up. I dug my feet into the sand for...

During my recent trip to Maui, my soul sister, Lisa, and I planned a trip on a boat to go snorkeling. We picked up our gear a couple of days before our day trip to do some snorkeling near her home. It was a short trek across the street! Lots of reefs just steps away...

I am a tree.My trunk embeds on the surface of the ground.My roots grow down, down, down to the crystal core of Gaia,Swirling and integrating with her loving energy.Bringing her energy back up my roots, my trunk and into my branches.My branches reach towards the...

This morning I followed through with my intention for including more physical activity into my daily routine, and I went for a walk. Putting on some yoga pants and putting my hair up into a bun I said to myself, "I'll just put some concealer on under those dark...

I am deep within again. Sitting in a corner hugging my knees. This is not the first time I have been here, and surely it will not be my last. For I have chosen a path of enlightenment, self-discovery, and to claim my true self. The veil has been lifted and the light...

A friend recently asked me how I was able to do my work in Spirituality when I was raised with the Christian belief. “Isn’t that wrong?” She asked. My answer is simple, “I have experienced it. To deny Spirituality would be to deny my life.”When I was a little girl I...

I kinda pride myself a little on facing the fears that come on my path. I have conquered a lot in my life, especially in the past seven years ~ a divorce, my daughter’s depression, living separately from my son, financial woes, etc. I don’t pretend to be perfect, some...

May…oh May! I hadn’t experienced a month like this in a very long time. Just in one night we suddenly lost our beloved cat, Smokey ~ which of course crushed us and my heart got a little broken in the romance department. A few days later I found out that my uncle, who...

Soul mate ~ That person that you feel an electric shock run through your body every time you see them, when your phone lights up with their name/picture or you see their name scroll by on your social media newsfeed. A soul mate is someone that you have this...

I was standing at my kitchen sink washing out the inside parts of my vacuum. You know the parts that collect the dirt, dust, people hair and in my case animal hair too…all the really, really, yucky stuff. As I was standing at the sink I was brought back to a...

When I was a little girl I told my step-dad that I wanted to be a nurse. He thought that was wonderful and said that my goal should be a Registered Nurse and then started explaining some of the things that I would be doing. One was taking blood. Nope, THAT wasn’t...

My inner voice: “Prepare yourself.”   Me: “For what?”   My inner voice: “We tried to warn you…”   Me: “Huh well…I don’t know what you’re talking about and I don’t have time to figure it out right now. Cause helloooo…remember? I….have a date! You know, with an actual...

I was not looking forward to Valentine’s Day. It would be another year without a sweetheart, no date, and absolutely no plans. Since there was no one to organize plans with except myself, I made the internal intention to just pretend that it wasn’t even going to take...

I was just about to walk into the garage to get into my car and I heard, “Wait! Wait! Wait!” No one was calling for me from upstairs or even from the room next to me. It was that voice from inside, the voice inside my head…my inner voice. I was fairly new on the path...

Oh I hear you…I really do. I felt the same way that you are thinking. But my opinion changed when one night at a party I met two separate couples who had met online and have been happily married for several years. While I sat there, alone again, one of the wives...
