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…

Are You Living a Van Gogh Story?
There’s a quote by inspirational speaker and author Wayne Dyer that brings to light the power of now – and the significance that courage plays into fully realizing one’s potential. “Don’t die with your music still inside you.” As a self-empowerment coach for highly-creative and spiritually-minded women who are here to express their life’s purpose through artistic endeavors, I’m fully aware of how much courage it takes to stand in front of an audience and share your unique gifts. Many adults struggle with courage and end up “holding back” – for an entire lifetime – gifts and talents that could so easily be appreciated by others. This “holding back” can be triggered by a multitude of things – lack of self-worth, lack of confidence, fear of criticism, fear of…

Celebrating the Winter Solstice
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been hearing more and more women talk about emotions that are related to some aspect of grieving. And I don’t mean the death of a loved one, but the death of some part of their life that they’ve come to know intimately – or the death of something inside of them. For some, they’ve lost jobs or seen unexpected changes in their businesses that they weren’t prepared for – while others have experienced divorces or an empty nest for the first time. And then there are those who are going through physical changes like a pregnancy or menopause – while others are finding themselves stuck in an emotional rut and craving some form of clarity. Whatever the case may be, it’s…

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…

Journaling by the Moonlight – Facilitator Training
The Journaling by the Moonlight (JBTM) brand is expanding! After receiving numerous requests to bring this body of work to other parts of the world and to a variety of audiences, I made the decision to structure the program in a way that allows for creative teaching through an array of different lenses. And one of the ways to do this is to open a global circle that will allow others to facilitate the Journaling by the Moonlight process in way that’s tailored to a particular audience. Originally created for mothers, this unique process is ideal for creative and spiritually-minded individuals who yearn for a deeper connection to self, and who are ready to tap into their inner light – what I call the “full moon within” – and claim their authentic self,…
