Manifesting Money – and Miracles
Whether we realize it or not, many of us are stuck in a “money pattern” – and it affects everything we think, see, and do around money. Our beliefs about money have been handed down to us through generations, in a variety of different ways, shaping how we view the subject of money. Think about the news you see on television or hear on the radio or read in the newspaper. How much of it is fear-based? How much of it stems from scarcity – the fear of never having enough or being good enough? Our relationship with money is not just a series of practical actions.

Are You on a “Caterpillar to Butterfly” Journey?
On a recent walk along one of my favorite Cape Cod nature trails, I noticed a butterfly crossing my path. It stayed with me for a few minutes, eventually landing on a gorgeous pink azalea that had just bloomed. I began thinking about this butterfly – and the transformation it had taken to become one. It reminded me of a favorite quote by beloved poet Maya Angelou. “We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.” Every great transformation – whether personal, professional or creative – involves a process that isn’t always pleasant. There are many twists and turns, lots of creating and adjusting, and a necessary willingness to see it all through. It’s…

What Makes You Want to Pray?
How does prayer serve your life? How does it impact your creative process? I’m delighted to welcome my colleague Jennifer Urezzio to my blog today to discuss how simple prayers can transform your life. Her book, A Little Book of Prayers was recently released on Amazon. After speaking to thousands of individuals about their prayers, Jennifer noticed the same issues kept coming up. Believing that there must be a more powerful way of asking, accepting and claiming what we desire from the Divine, she created A Little Book of Prayers. This book is a collection of prayers that Jennifer and her community have used to transform their lives. And today, she’s here to share a bit of wisdom about the power of prayer. ****************************************************************** When…
