If it's meant to be, it will happen. My mentor, Rhonda Shasteen, gave me those words of advice a long time ago. They continue to have new meaning for me the older I get and have more life experiences. I always understood the language, but learning to let go of trying to force things into happening has been a much longer process. Flash back to about fifteen years ...Read More

Do you ever wake up on the wrong side of the bed? I do, and I'll spend a morning being frustrated over nothing. I don't enjoy being cranky, and it seems like negative things seem to spiral. All you want is for them to end. When I feel this way, I know I need to shift my energy and my attitude because giving in to the mood will ...Read More

Like attracts like. That is the Law of Attraction. I must admit that I was the number one skeptic of the power of positive thinking as presented through books like The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. I convinced myself it was a new age, cultish philosophy and that I should steer clear. Over the last couple of months, I had multiple conversations with both friends and acquaintances where the book continued ...Read More

I want more. Don't you? I think most of us want more money, better health, more happiness, joy, love and overall abundance. It's our desire for more that fuels the economy, and it is the force that drives us to work and create every day. I've been working so hard to achieve, but I'm also very used to running up against a wall. I tend to plateau after ...Read More

Do you have feelings of joy and bliss, impatience and crankiness, stress and peace?  I know I do. Life feels easy and good when I'm enjoying blissful and joyful feelings and emotions, but I feel taxed and stressed when my emotions are negative or conflicted.  I notice that I become indecisive about what decisions to make.  I've spent many years forcing myself to make decisions that my head ...Read More

I love using visualization to achieve manifestation. At the same time I like reminding myself to be in the now, based on Eckhart Tolle's book, The Power of Now. I caught myself daydreaming about something in a very detailed way. I knew where I was, who I was with, the temperature, the energy and everything else before I realized what I was doing and halted to remind myself to ...Read More

Are you a fighter? Do you engage in constant resistance about the things you do not want to happen? Do you consciously or subconsciously feed energy to your deepest fears and "don't wants"? I know I often do. I'm only just now learning to tap into them and stop them. It's a gradual progression. So, what ends up happening when you give those fears energy? They manifest. They become your ...Read More

On my life's journey I've been learning and growing what self-love means to me. How much do we really love ourselves anyway? If you're anything like me, you can spend a lot of your energy thinking of how you could do something better or regretting a decision made in the past. It seems as though I thought if I could parent myself enough, then I could work bad ...Read More

I absolutely love Yogi Tea. Not only is the their tea organic and yummy, but they also put inspiring mantras on the tag of each tea bag. I just pulled out a tea bag with a statement that applies directly to this post I've had in my heart to write. It says, " Your greatness is measured by your gifts, not your possessions." This is one of those ...Read More

The first step to manifesting your dreams and desires is to get clear about what you want. Think about it, feel it, and most importantly write it down. There is something so powerful in putting pen to paper when getting clear about your desires. You can type it up on your computer if that is easier. Mostly, put your wants down and be as specific as possible. If ...Read More
