    Leave your stories behindIn daily life, we often create stories around false beliefs we hold that do not always serve. You know, the story about you not being good enough, not thin enough, not kind enough, not productive enough.

    We all have stories, and they often revolve around lack. Whether a romance has recently ended or you’ve just received a devastating health diagnosis, maybe you’ve always wanted to be thinner, richer more at peace. Regardless of your situation, you have most likely created a story around your lack.

    It’s time now for you, to lay down your stories and move into your life.

    What Do You Need In Order To Be Happy?

    By 3 Comments

    Do You Expect Others and Situations to Change Before You Can Be Happy?

    Beach HomesEven though you believe the words: “Be the change you seek”, are you still waiting for peace to arrive?

    You may be convinced that you’d be happy if your family appreciated you more, if your bank account was full, or if you could finally take the two-week break that you need so badly.

    But, if you believe that your happiness will only happen when circumstances change and others shift their behavior, you are giving your power away and that will leave you feeling inadequate, and powerless.

    Although you may wish to live in the higher realm of who you are, if your actions speak to your belief that your peace is reliant on anyone other then you, you are mistaken.

    Who’s Taking Care of You?

    Now is a perfect time to gently and kindly remind you in the midst of all of our global chaos, to please take care of you.

    The United States just had an election that has left us seemingly polarized, as overnight we move from a president who worked from the energy of “hope“ to a president who seems to hold fear as his weapon of choice.

    Around the world people continue to fight for basic rights, liberties and something as basic as food and water.

    For those of us privileged to not have to worry about where our next meal is coming from, the bills still need to be paid, the children and animals taken care of and then there’s us.

    We need care too.

    Thrive Beyond Your Circumstances

    Do You SeeI’m certain that you have a variety of wishes, hopes and aspirations. If we were to look at all of the different dreams you have for your life they would most likely all come down to one word. That word is peace.

    Whether you wish for financial wealth, excellent health, or your dream is finding your ultimate romantic relationship, each of these wishes represent to you safety, security and love, which all translate into one word, peace.

    You may think that if you had as much money as you want you’d experience peace. You may be certain that if you had romantic love you’d would finally be happy. You may hold the belief that perfect health is your ticket to a great life.

    Are you tracking with me?
    Now here’s the juice.

    Hope

    By Leave a Comment

    hope“Hope is an awakened dream, wake up now.”

    Hope is an expression of living in an open state. It’s a place of light and freedom that is experienced when we awaken to our natural inheritance of love and live that inheritance daily.

    The physical world often seems to be the antithesis of love. It can be difficult and taxing. We often respond by shutting down, closing up and forgetting who we truly are. Through these actions we move away from the light and often lose our way.

    BUT……

    Lose the Stories

    Let go of your stories!How often do you get stuck in your stories, repeating a painful and event or difficult time over and over never manifesting what you so richly deserve because you are too busy repeating past pain??

    You know the stories.

    The one about why you can’t leave a love behind, or the damage that was done to you when you were a child? How about the story where you will never have enough? Enough money, enough things, enough love? Or the story about the world being a terrible place where everyone is unkind and nothing is ever fair.

    Enlightenment? Not for Me, Thanks

    By Leave a Comment

    Years ago I had a partner. He was a very deeply spiritual-he was a very intelligent man, a very good man. I was so excited because I loved being in a relationship with a man who had a lot of awareness. We used to have great conversations. We had a wonderful, wonderful dance of the mind. During our conversations he would very often talk about his goal to be enlightened. Everyone has different ideas about what enlightenment is about. For him, it meant that he had reached a state of maturity with his spiritual work and he was at an elevated state of consciousness and would probably leave the planet. I used to think about that.
