After making the decision to let go of my familiar circle of friends who were no longer supportive or nourishing to my soul, how do I create a loving social More

I started writing a post about organization. And in it I talked about how in my ideal life everything flowed beautifully and life was magical. And then I started talking about my actual life and how things truly weren’t running as seamlessly as I would like them to. I talked about the endless list of to-dos and the piles upon piles of folders and projects and orders and call backs and write tos that needed to be finished.
And the more I wrote about how different my ideal life was from my More

It’s Wednesday, which means it’s time to write a post about gratitude!

Okay – now for today’s post:
Before I went to sleep last night, I said to Dan that I wished it would rain. While it may seem that Oregon and rain go hand in hand, where we live in the southern part of the state about half of the year is sunny and beautiful – and rain is rare. I like a break in the weather though – I like change. And I love the smell of rain More

This post is a continuation of yesterday’s post where I wrote about making room for your dream. (If you haven’t read it yet, I would definitely recommend reading it before reading on.)

We all have dreams. They start with a simple idea and soon grow into a possibility. And as time goes on, they begin to feel more and more real. We even start to believe that they could actually happen. We really begin to see ourselves living our dreams. We can almost taste them they seem so real.
Our dreams are our passions met with action. We take all of our talents that are swirling around inside of us, and we map out a plan of how we can put these talents to good use.
So often, we have a great More

Shared Wisdom Guest Post – Featuring Alia Indrawan
I am so excited to feature my dear friend Alia’s wisdom this week! While I have never met her in person – we live on opposite ends of the world – I still feel that I know her soul, her heart, and her truth. She has the amazing ability to allow herself to be authentic, vulnerable, and raw. There is no pretense with Alia – we all feel her pain and celebrate her triumphs. I am so inspired by her honesty, and because of that we have been able to connect on a soul level where it feels like we’ve been friends for years.
Alia and I are each on a journey, like so many of you are. We’re striving to remain connected to our inner wisdom, serve others with our words and love energy, and be open to divine guidance. We are definitely kindred spirits and have each had the experience of reading each other’s blogs and felt that it was exactly what we needed to read in that moment.
She is definitely walking the walk and living her truth, and I am honored to call her my friend. I know you will love her honesty just as much as I do.
I have a tendency to hold on – often with a death grip. It could be holding onto a thought, belief, habit, or action. Often the things that really don’t serve my best interest are the ones I hold on to the most.
I may think limiting thoughts like “there’s nothing you can offer to the world that isn’t already being done” or go for a cup of coffee in the morning instead of the ginger tea that I know would feel better. I find myself buying into beliefs of not being good enough More

For this week’s Saturday Selection, I’m really excited to recommend a book by one of my favorite authors:
The Unmistakable Touch of Grace by Cheryl Richardson
Cheryl Richardson has been one of my favorite authors for many years. I love that she offers so much of herself in her writing, and her passion to help others live their best lives shows through in all she does. Most of her books are about remembering to take care of ourselves, but this one was a bit More

Have you ever wanted to be there – wherever that was? The only requirement for there is that it is far from here.
There is a place where things just seem to work out. A place you have long dreamed of going to. A place where the puzzle pieces of your life somehow fit together.
There is a place where faith rules over fear. A place where positivity and gratitude are far more powerful than negativity and anxiety.
There is a place where everything is in abundance – love, More

Okay – now for today’s post:
I am a lover of lists. I am surrounded by them. I have a grocery list, countless to-do lists, lists for books that I want to write, lists for posts I want to get to, lists for websites that I can’t wait to read, lists for books to check out, etc. You get the picture – I am a list person.
Lately it seems as though the lists are piling More
