What Masks Are You Wearing?
As we approach one of my favorite times of the year, Halloween – I’m reminded of all the costumes and masks people wear to celebrate this festive occasion. It triggered my thinking this week about the many masks we have all worn in our lives – and may still be wearing. How many of these masks serve as an authentic expression of who we are? And how many of these masks are a cover-up for drowning out our own inner voices? Have you ever stopped to think about the many labels that you wear in life – maybe you’re a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a teacher, a loyal employee, a neighbor – and the different masks that are required to show up in these roles?…

Are You Ready for the Intensity of This New Moon?
We’re entering a very powerful new moon phase tomorrow in the astrological sign of Scorpio. This is the most intense sign of the zodiac – and when it coincides with a new moon, it brings us an opportunity to break free from old patterns and begin claiming the life that we REALLY want.

A Journaling Mom’s Path to Self-Discovery
As we begin to enter the last quarter moon phase, I’m mindful of the baby steps that are needed before we can take off on a full run toward anything in life that we may desire. And with each step we take, there’s an impact – an impression that we make on the path – that has an everlasting effect, not only on us, but on those around us. Imagine for a moment a “pebble thrown into a pond.” It creates a ripple that goes on and on and on. I believe that mothers are a significant part of the “ripple effect” – that will transform the world into a more loving, more nurturing place. When a mother is living life with complete authenticity, she’s…

The Journey of Synchronicity
Imagine being outside on a cool, crisp autumn evening, looking up above and seeing dozens of stars scattered throughout the night sky. They seem to be sparkling with a magical energy that you don’t quite understand, yet you somehow feel connected to it. You sense that the stars “know” what your dreams are and what your passions are – and they’re beckoning you to follow your heart. They appear to have the answers – the answers you’re searching for as you begin to ponder a new beginning for yourself, either personally or professionally – maybe both. As you begin to ponder the direction you want to take and what next steps are needed to get there, think back to the many messages that have been…

How Meaningful Are Your Relationships?
We moved into another new moon phase today, this one in the astrological sign of Libra. New Moons always bring new beginnings that stem from the desires we have bubbling just under the surface. It marks an ideal time to acknowledge what it is within us that now wants to rise above the surface and take flight. The Libra New Moon brings light to the connections in our lives, sparking a strong desire for balance, communication, and beauty – with a big emphasis on relationships. It’s a perfect time to ask yourself: What in my life needs balancing, both internally and externally? What relationships do I have in my life that need more attention, perhaps even healing? Are there relationships in my life that have run their course? Am I ready to…
