From Anxiety to Love
Ever since I began my entrepreneurial journey, I’ve been told by business coaches and consultants, “People pay for speed.” I’ve watched companies compete for contracts saying, “We can do it faster.” I’ve observed executives and managers pushing their employees and team members to “get it done NOW.” And as a mother of two teenagers, I’ve noticed this same obsession showing up in the area of education. I’ve heard countless politicians, analysts, and various experts go on and on about “the race to the top” – where states (and countries) race to get student test scores to the top of the list as quickly as possible. I’ve even noticed in the medical field, our tendency to over-prescribe medications, looking for that “quick-fix.” No one has the…

Life Organizing: Managing Your Time for Self and Others
In my work as a Life Purpose Alchemist, I work with highly-creative and spiritually-minded women who desire a life filled with authenticity, passion, meaningful connection, and creative self-expression. When all of these dots are connected, women are capable of creating massive ripples of positive influence in the world that can show up in the most interesting of ways. But what happens when a woman over-extends herself in the giving to others? Is the ripple as effective as it would be if she was prioritizing her own needs in the way she prioritizes the needs of others? Is it possible to over-provide? I’ve asked author and self-care expert, Jennifer Loudon to join me on my blog today to share her thoughts about over-providing. Jennifer Louden is a personal growth…

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,…

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…

Becoming Your Own Valentine
Most of the messages coming our way this time of year are to “be someone else’s valentine.” But what if we took this opportunity to be our own valentine? Valentine’s Day is a perfect opportunity to connect with the one who can truly bring love into your life – YOU! Your well-being – emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually – depends on you. Since Valentine’s Day falls on a full moon this year, it marks an ideal time for honoring the Inner Goddess within you, celebrating your own wisdom and light. Imagine being able to make a heart-to-heart connection with yourself, one that’s filled with love and gratitude – and giving yourself permission to step into the highest version of YOU. There are many ways to…
