• 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…

  • The Gifts of Gratitude Journaling

    The summer season brings an energy of celebration and light. It’s an ideal time to notice the many gifts in your life, both personally and professionally – and to begin intention-setting for the months ahead and the new year that’s just over the horizon. But what if you’re in a frame of mind that’s not so positive, causing you to get lost in a sea of negativity?

  • Is There More To Life Than This?

    There must be more to life than this! Has this thought ever popped into your mind? And more importantly, has it popped up recently? If so, you’re not alone! ~ More and more people are feeling deeply dissatisfied with their businesses and job situations, their relationships, their income, even their future potential.  They want big change, but they don’t know how to make it happen fast enough – or even at all. The great Nelson Mandela once said, “There is no passion to be found in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.” Like so many of my friends and colleagues, I’m going through some major changes right now, both personally and professionally. A lot is shifting within me and around me…

  • You Are A Phenomenal Woman

    As we approach the beautiful energy of summer, a time that brings celebration and rejuvenation – let’s take a moment to honor your WOWNESS! We’ve all known phenomenal women. They have that special “something” – a glorious glimmer that brightens a room when they enter. Their smile, warm demeanor, or caring presence draws us to them. They fully radiate their beauty from the inside out. When we experience our own “wowness” – we step into a whole other level of being. We feel fully connected to who we are at our core, moving forward in life with courage and confidence. The world, its pressures, its nay-sayers – even the failures we experience, can easily cause us to bow down in insecurity. These things can lure us into feeling…

  • The Importance of Unconditional Acceptance

    Today, I have the great pleasure of being the host on Day 3 of Daniel Parmeggiani’s Virtual Blog Tour, whose new book, The Magnificent Truths of Our Existence, is currently celebrating its official launch. Daniel Parmeggiani is a modern-day spiritual teacher whose approach is unaligned with any particular religion or tradition. Driven by intense psychological turmoil when he was younger, Daniel discovered within himself a deeper reality that he says not only saved his life, but also showed him the way to permanent happiness and inner peace. Those revelations became the foundation of his book, The Magnificent Truths of Our Existence. Yesterday, Daniel visited Mali Apple’s ‘The Soulmate Experience’ blog at http://www.thesoulmateexperience.com/blog/, where they talked about how to increase our ability to love. Today, I’d like…
