• What’s the Impact of Your Life Purpose Ripple?

    Last week was the third anniversary of my mother’s sudden passing. So many memories came rushing back to me when I saw the date on my calendar. I was reminded of the many things she brought to my life and to the lives of my kids. But sadly and slowly, I’m realizing how much our family traditions have changed – in just a short amount of time. And it brings to my awareness how much one person can influence an entire chain of events simply by being themselves and touching those they love in special ways that are truly unforgettable. Every person has a unique presence that sometimes can be taken for granted – and only when they’re not around, do we realize the legacy they…

  • How Will This Full Moon Spark Your Creativity?

    We’ll be entering a Full Moon phase tonight in the astrological sign of Pisces, which brings a very intuitive and creative energy laced with a strong sense of mysticism. This is a great time to pull projects off the shelf or ideas out of the dusty files of our mind that stir up who we are on an emotional and spiritual level. If you have something that you’ve been wanting to start, but haven’t for one reason or another – now is the time! With the energy of a Pisces Full Moon, you have direct access to your own creative, intuitive, and emotional gifts.

  • Are You a Changemaker or a Trailblazer?

    As someone who has spent years in the political arena working on campaigns and issues related to the betterment of humanity, I have a full understanding of the impact of the changemakers.

They’re often the “first responders” in a time of crisis, ready to share their best tools and practices for changing the current circumstances. I’ve also spent a lot of time working in the corporate arena, alongside people whom I would…
