If At First You Don’t Succeed, Try Try Again

Why is it so hard to slow down – to take ourselves off of the treadmill of our busy lives and just be still?

Why are we not welcoming stillness and peace and serenity? Why are we instead choosing chaos and imbalance and busyness?

I had planned on taking a day off this weekend. I had big plans to relax and unwind – to treat myself to a day on the couch where my only task was to chill out, watch a miniseries, snack all day, play games, read, and take lots of naps.

It didn’t quite More

Lighting A Candle

Today, we light a candle.

For everyone who lost their life 10 years ago.

For everyone who lost a loved one 10 years ago.

For everyone who saved a life 10 years ago.

For everyone who gave their life 10 years ago.

For everyone whose life was forever changed 10 years ago.

For everyone.

Sending love to each part of the world today as we all remember 9/11.

Saturday Selection – An Interview With Shane Michael Taylor

I am beyond excited to introduce you to Shane Michael Taylor! We met in June at a conference for like-minded people who are ready to share their positive messages with the world. Shane is an amazing person, and I am such a fan – I know that after reading this interview (and listening to his book), you will be a fan, too!

Shane isn’t even 30 years old yet and has already achieved so much in his life – both on a physical level and on a spiritual level. Some of his external accomplishments More

I am exhausted. But I know that life continues to go on whether I am tired or not. How More

How To Avert A Full-Blown Pity Party

We’ve all had moments where nothing seems to be going our way. Your day just isn’t working out the way you had hoped it would. In fact, when you really start to think about it, you realize that it’s not just that your day or week or year that isn’t working out: your life isn’t working out. And in realizing this, you begin to spiral downward into the deepest despair. You are quickly entering a place where nothing ever works, no one is ever on your side, you are never More

Grateful for Inspirational Mentors

It’s Wednesday, which means it’s time to write a post about gratitude!
You can read my previous posts by clicking here.

Think of someone you admire. Imagine that you have just spent the day with them, being around them, soaking up all of their wisdom. How does it make you feel? Energized, positive, inspired?

And when you feel this way, isn’t it completely normal to want to feel this way even more? So wouldn’t it make sense to continue seeking out people that you admire and look up More

Your Soul Knows the Way

If you look at your life now versus how you imagined it would be, is it pretty much a mirror image or is it completely different? If you’re anything like me, it’s the complete opposite of how you planned it.

How I Thought It Would Be
When I was much younger, I imagined that I would be a career woman with several advanced degrees working in a big city for a large corporation. I visualized myself living in a modern loft – in a highrise – with a cat. More

Are You Running Away From Your Dream?

As many of you know, I am in the process of writing a book. It’s a different kind of book than the Soulful Journals that Dan and I have written. It’s a full-length book about pushing through fear to live the life of our dreams. It really gets to the heart of who I am – my soul has begun to emerge throughout the journey of writing it. This has been both a great experience and a real learning lesson at the same time.

It has given me the chance to see up close and personal how many More
