Taking Life One Day at a Time
We’ve all heard the phrase, “Keep your eye on the prize.” This can be interpreted in many different ways – depending on what the “prize” means to us. But it usually requires some sort of vision that allows us to put a plan into place and the law of attraction to work. This vision gives us the opportunity to become more aware of the synchonicities around us – which hold messages from the universe as well as our inner spirit, letting us know that we are indeed on the right path. But when we’re in the middle of a difficult transition, it’s easy to get overwhelmed with the emotions of “just getting through it.” That’s why it’s important to take a deep breath, adjust the…

The Woman in the Moon
We’ve all heard the saying, “the man in the moon.” But what exactly does that mean? By using analogies related to the moon, what emerges after the “new moon” (the darkness of being in the raw) is the first crescent – a peek at what’s to come. A “new you” begins to emerge as life’s many layers are slowly peeled off – and we begin to see the brightness shining from underneath all the rubble. This is our inner light. All of a sudden, we become that woman in the moon – a woman with a very unique face, a face that we can call our own. When you look at a waxing crescent moon, you can see the tip of a face that’s beginning to emerge. The…

We’ll be moving into another new moon phase soon – which always brings a time of new beginnings. Where one door closes, another one opens. During a new moon phase, the sky is completely black, other than the surrounding stars. It’s the point in every month when the moon takes a retreat and begins to grow again, redoubling her light and reflecting new creative energy on the world. It brings to our awareness the potential that darkness has in shedding light on life’s lessons and the many gifts that would otherwise go unnoticed. As poet Mary Oliver once wrote, “Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this, too, was a gift.” The energies of the dark moon can feel especially…

The Ripple Effect of Gratitude
Can you imagine a world where everyone showed gratitude? If someone did something kind for you, you’d probably give them a warm smile and say thank you. And if you were having a bad day, someone else might take time out of his or her life to comfort you, making you feel better. It’s these acts of kindness that prompt people to show their gratitude by doing something similar for someone else. Like a skipping stone in a pond, acts of gratitude have the potential to create a ripple effect. Have you said thank you to someone today – to show how grateful you are for them? It seems like a small thing, but it can have a huge impact on your life and the life…

Unleashing Your Inner Goddess
Picture yourself standing in front of a forest with a desire to move through it to the other side. You notice the vastness of the forest, filled with possibilities – and you become eager and curious about the path that will lead you through it and what you might find. Your Inner Goddess (your authentic voice) is whispering to you – to boldly venture through the forest, so she can fully unleash her beauty in the light of your unknowingness, helping you see and connect with your untapped potential. But in order to get through the forest and out on the other side, you’re keenly aware that there may be risks involved – and a willingness to try something new. What will it take to…
