  • Bloom Where You Are Planted

    What happens when your life is thrown off course, not by your own choosing – and you’re picked up, rattled around, and thrown in another direction? How do you bloom where planted? Sometimes, when we’re “stuck” – the Universe makes the movement for us. It picks us up, rattles us around – and puts us somewhere. And it’s there, in that place – where we must find a way to “bloom where planted.” It will be there, that we begin the “rooting out” process. And part of this involves rooting out those places where we know we’re living out of balance. It’s time to kick the dependencies that suck resources, and become more self-sufficient with our energy. Imagine taking a walk in nature and being surrounded by…

  • Is the Door of Persistence Just Not Opening?

    Have you ever felt like you’ve wasted your time on something? You’ve given countless hours and exuberance to a project, a job, a relationship – and it just doesn’t go anywhere? You keep trying and trying. You walk away, come back with a different approach – but nothing sticks. So you go through every tool you have, you try every key – and still come up short. You even do a bit of meditating, clearing your mind and your energy, only to return to the same scenario. What then? Is there something wrong with you? Or could it be, simply put – a mismatch? Persistence is an admirable quality. But if you’ve done everything you know how to do – and it’s still not working, it’s…

  • The Gift of the Winter Solstice

    Welcome to the Winter Solstice! Today marks the longest night of the year as nature gives us an extended period of darkness. Mother Nature knows that a certain amount of darkness is always needed in order to see – and to truly appreciate – the “light” of possibility. On this day of the Winter Solstice, take some time to connect with your inner light – that authentic voice inside of you who has the potential to show up in a big way. How bright is your inner light? Let’s give her a name. Take a moment and close your eyes – and think about the potential of your inner light when she is shining brightly. What name captures the energy of this essence? Don’t over…

  • What Reality Are You Choosing?

    As we move toward the darkest day of the year, I’m mindful of how much our outer landscape mirrors our inner one. What we think and how we’re feeling on the inside can affect what we see on the outside. If our inner light is burning bright, it allows us to see beauty and possibility in the most dire of circumstances. And if our inner light is dim – or completely burned out, we’ll only see what feels dark and challenging around us. How bright is your inner light? Is it lighting up a path of vision and possibility? Or are you feeling uninspired – with a lack of vision and clarity for what might be coming next in your life? Wouldn’t it be nice…

  • How Can Winter Inspire Your Inner Genius?

    The darkness of the winter season brings an opportunity to reflect on your life’s journey by taking a closer look at who you are – underneath the layers of life. It’s a great time to turn within and write about your innermost thoughts, feelings, and desires. By looking for the “light” – and knowing that it’s there, somewhere, waiting to be discovered – you can reach a place where your personal reflection begins to shed its own light. It’s a time to ponder where you’ve been, how you got to where you are now – and where to go from here. It’s an opportunity to explore new ways of thinking and to prepare for a new path of travel. It also marks an ideal time for…
