I have fallen in love with a magazine called Sprout – it is simply amazing. Amanda Fall is the genius behind it. It’s heartfelt. It’s passionate. It’s soul nurturing. It’s honest. It’s beautiful. It’s just what my spirit needed.
I am honored to be a contributor for this month’s issue, which is all about Creativity!

Shared Wisdom Guest Post
Featuring Shakti Gawain
Having a beautiful body starts with following the natural flow of your energy. Trust yourself. Express yourself physically in ways that feel good. Sleep as much as you need to. Stay in bed if you feel you need more rest. Eat what your body truly desires and follow your heart. If you’re willing to trust your body, you’ll learn what’s best for you.
It sounds simple enough. The problem is that we’ve been taught to distrust our bodies and see More

I have resisted meditation my entire life. I have heard that inner calling urging me to sit still, calm my thoughts, and connect to an energy that is bigger than myself. However, I have ignored these whispers. I could say that I just didn’t have the time. I could say that I thought I would get bored if I sat with my eyes closed for several minutes. And while I may think that these are the real reasons, I know that it goes much deeper than this.
There was always a More

Oh my, this fear within me runs deeper than I realized. This part of me that wants to keep playing small and hiding behind everything and anything takes up more space inside of me than I thought.
One foot moves forward, ready and oh, so willing to take that leap once and for all. To soar into the unknown. To fly higher than it has ever known.
The other foot holds back – chained to the past and chained to the known. It knows that I am safe here. Unhappy, but safe.

In this video, Elizabeth Lesser, Omega Institute co-founder, talks about what Rumi called “The Open Secret.” If you have ever thought that everyone else had this living thing all figured out, definitely watch this.
P.S. – In the spirit of leaping and soaring, I wanted to share that I am heading to a hotel to work on my book, Coming Back to Life: How an Unlikely Friend Helped Me Reclaim My True Spirit! Because this book was born from the rawest, most vulnerable place More

A few days ago, I wrote about leaping toward our dreams – putting both feet in – not allowing ourselves to have a safety net. Tony Robbins calls this going to an island and burning the frickin’ boats to make sure we are all in! Well, as I sit here typing this post from an office completely void of any furniture (except for the card table that I am sitting at now, which shakes with each letter that I type) – I would have to say this: I have officially burned my boats.

Oftentimes, when we take a leap and step into the life that we feel we are meant to live, we feel afraid and unsure and unsettled.
We wonder if we have made the right choice. We look around us, and it seems that everyone else is confident and entirely sure of themselves and their choices. And this causes us to feel alone and isolated in our frightened state of mind. We worry that something must be wrong with us – why can’t we just take the leap, be okay with it, and get on with our More
