• A New Year of New Beginnings

    As you begin to move into another new year filled with opportunities for new beginnings, notice what is starting to stir in you. Allow yourself to connect with any emotions that are rising to the surface. Pay attention to what synchronicities are suddenly appearing. What is being awakened within you? What is beginning to bloom around you? Take a moment to ponder these questions, then read the poem below. For a New Beginning In out-of-the-way places of the heart, Where your thoughts never think to wander, This beginning has been quietly forming, Waiting until you were ready to emerge. For a long time it has watched your desire, Feeling the emptiness growing inside you, Noticing how you willed yourself on, Still unable to leave what…

  • What’s the Universal Gift in Your Life Story?

    One of the most powerful films I’ve ever seen is Freedom Writers. It continues to be one of my favorites. It shows the power of journal writing – and telling one’s story through a voice that is unique to the storyteller. And through the pages of sharing this story, a larger sense of purpose begins to unveil. For a taste of what the film is about, visit this link and watch the movie trailer: Freedom Writers So much could change in our lives, and in our world, if we just stepped into the power of our life story – learning its lessons, receiving its gifts, and bettering ourselves in the process – then finding our own diamond in the rough, giving it a good polish,…

  • 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…

  • The Power of Your Creative Ripple

    One of my biggest spiritual teachers was my mother. The unfortunate thing is – she never knew it. And truthfully, neither did I – until she transitioned from the human realm to the spiritual realm. It was this transition that magnified the power of my own teachings about life purpose legacy, helping solidify that everything does happen for a reason. As her daughter, I was able to see how her life story affected my own. As a Life Purpose Alchemist, I’m a lover of story. I genuinely love hearing people tell their life stories. Through their words, through their laughter, through their tears – I hear threads of meaning, threads of purpose. And I have a divinely-creative gift for weaving these threads together in a…
