The Power of Your Creative Ripple
One of my biggest spiritual teachers was my mother. The unfortunate thing is – she never knew it. And truthfully, neither did I – until she transitioned from the human realm to the spiritual realm.

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…

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.
