Read MoreIf happiness is happening to you rather than from you, I encourage you to spend more time with You. Quiet the mind, listen to the body, and notice the feelings you’re experiencing. If they are coming from past or future happenings, this generally means outside sources have found a way to impact your day - and that’s okay; it’s part of the work you’re here to do - to listen to your inner truth, to come home to You and experience the happiness that resides within you.

If there’s a desire to be more or somehow score, that’s the ego knocking at your door. Whereas bliss equates to flow...
Read MoreAnything can happen at anytime yet we live by our watch like it’s a shrine. When in fact, linear time was invented by the mind. And while it’s certainly a helpful tool, when does the user become a fool? When do we negate the heart, mind-body, and soul to simply follow protocol? Could we take more breaks throughout the day to listen, learn, and play? Could we be uncomfortable even if just for a moment before reaching for the phone? Could we spend time alone? Engaging the senses and bringing attention to what’s within us and all around us, this thing we call consciousness…
Read MoreHow do you know what’s true for you? How do you listen to your inner wisdom? How do you know when it’s the ego or when it’s your intuition? What if we opened up to Life and let our heart be the guide? What we if let the mind be by its side? Trusted companions indeed but one will surely lead with insecurity, fear, and greed whereas the other, seeks nothing but truth which can certainly hurt too...
Read MoreHow often does something resonate and yet it hesitates to come into our life fully? That person, place, or thing we are imagining is not quite ready.

The details differ for each of us but basically and generally it means you committing to You...

Read MoreHonoring your darkness is often seen as a weakness, when in fact it's a skillful trait that can prevent and even end hate. If we choose reflection rather than projection, the world would be a completely different place. And I understand it’s a tall ask to consider since we were small, most of us have been taught to be bitter one way or another...
Read MoreReflecting upon yourself could be the hardest thing you do. It means taking responsibility for You. One way to begin is by reducing distractions where it’s almost certain, nothing will happen.

Read MoreConsider the life you want to create, is it growth-based or do you tend to hesitate? Let this reflection be a guide to the next step you take; whatever your answer, that’s the story you create. And there’s no right or wrong way - though it will likely determine your day, your relationships, the way you work, and the way you play. If you decide to grow, please know this...

And while what we do is incredibly important What’s more important is how we do it…
Read MoreWhen so much is expected of you, what do you let go and what do you pursue? Before you answer, think this through. Is the mind-heart connected and coming from a place of truth? Or is it something you feel you have to do? If so, how can it help you grow? What language can you change for the story to be re-spun into something more welcoming once the day is done?...

Read MoreWe raise ourselves up and ground ourselves down but there never seems to be enough time to truly turn our frown upside down. Self-care meets us there; when time feels like a race, if we let self-care come in first place, we will win beyond what we could imagine.
