We can create positive change by choosing not to use language that no longer serves us such as “boys don’t cry” along with many others. From an email I received: There are many troubling phrases in our language that we use without considering their full meaning simply because they have been accepted into common knowledge. Even as our ideals progress, our language maintains some phrases from our past that no longer serve us, for example:…
When we affirm that we are fulfilled rather than deficient, we are asserting that contentment is a natural way of being. From an email I received: The creative power of the universe is infinite.

It is only when we actively seek to work through our issues, that we can lighten the load and our souls can evolve.

Your thoughts and actions are like stones dropped into still waters causing ripples to spread as they move outward. From an email I received: In a world of six billion people, it’s easy to believe that the only way to initiate profound transformation is to take extreme action.

Traveling can be hard on sensitive souls; routine and a few favorite items can make your journey easier. From an email I received: The journeys we take are often as exhausting as they are exhilarating. The thrill we feel as we travel to a new environment may be undercut by our sensitivity to change, strange surroundings, and forced shifts in our usual habits. Air, road, and sea travel can be extremely taxing, and many people…
Maybe you are using a desire you can’t fulfill to distract you from truly engaging the blessings you already have. When it comes to the things we want, there always seems to be an endless list. No matter how many times we get something off that list, we add new things to replace it. In life, this drama of wanting and getting and wanting is all part of the dance. The things we want motivate…
A deep feeling of gratitude can emerge, as we open to the experience of being helped. From an email I received…………… Most of us pride ourselves on our self-sufficiency.

Normally I’d have 2 separate blog posts for giveaways, but at this End of Year/End of Decade post, I’ll keep it short and simple. 10 years is clearly a long time.

I, like many of you, have had my fair share of good times and bad times, but the fact that we’ve persevered to this…

Traditional celebrations awaken within us an ardent desire to reconnect with the people we care about and to share our abundance. During the holiday season, we feel more driven to actively practice compassion, tolerance, selflessness, and gratitude. When we feel stressed, we find…
From an email I received……………. The holidays are here and you might be repeating one of the following sentences to yourself at some point during these two months of joy and gratitude (no shame or guilt, you’re not alone)! “Focus on their better qualities…” “They’re really a good person on the inside…” “You have to deal with him/her because it’s your relative, partner, friend…” People in your life have lots of advice about how to…
From an email I received…………… When we stop worrying about unimportant matters, we can devote so much more of ourselves to what is truly important.

Our expectations go unmet, our plans are blocked by circumstance, our wishes go unfulfilled, and we discover that our lives are subject to a myriad of forces beyond our conscious control. In some cases, our response is powerful because we must invest…

From an email I received…………… Like you, the objects you encounter have stories to tell as the previous owners have left their vibrational imprint. Because our bodies exude energy, we leave behind a vibrational imprint each time we touch or live in close proximity to an object.
