The Gifts of Gratitude Journaling
The summer season brings an energy of celebration and light. It’s an ideal time to notice the many gifts in your life, both personally and professionally – and to begin intention-setting for the months ahead and the new year that’s just over the horizon. But what if you’re in a frame of mind that’s not so positive, causing you to get lost in a sea of negativity? If you’re finding yourself challenged by day-to-day issues, it’s helpful to remember what is going right in your life. This is where gratitude journaling comes in. Working with the law of attraction, this journaling technique helps switch the focus from negative to positive. And after a few days of gratitude journaling, the mindset starts to change – and…

Dancing Between Darkness and Light
Our lunar goddess is rich with wisdom. She teaches us how to move from darkness into light with the gracefulness of a ballroom dance. We step in, we step out – and we circle back around again. Looking up at the night sky during a first quarter lunar phase, we see a moon that’s half lit. It serves as a reminder that there’s always more to us than what meets the eye. It sparks a strong sense of curiosity within us. When we ponder any type of change in our lives, we can choose to look at this moon phase as half light – with lots of room for possibilities and expansion. Or we can look at it as half dark – with lots of space to hide,…

Activating the Light of the Summer Solstice Full Moon
Last night, I walked into my home office to check my calendar for today’s schedule – and before I could turn on the light, this caught my eye. It was the full moon shining brightly through the front window. Her light was so rich that I just sat there, drawn to the bigness of it. This particular full moon is more than just a full moon. It’s a full-throttle welcome to the summer season – a time of celebration and light. And because the two are coinciding – the summer solstice and the full moon, it gives us a double-dose of light, inviting us to step into the bigness of who we are. So whatever it is you’ve been pondering or dabbling in, or even tapping…

Are You a Tall Poppy in a Field of Daffodils?
Happy New Moon! A new moon phase always brings a time of new beginnings. It’s a period when the sky is completely black, with the exception of little sparkles of light in the form of 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 all worldly things. It marks an ideal time for connecting with our inner selves and our heart’s desire. By looking for the “light” and knowing that it’s there, somewhere, waiting to be discovered – we can reach a place where our personal reflection begins to shed its own light. What wants to emerge? What wants to be born? This is a time when dots start to…

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…
