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

If you’re anything like me, your mind tends to have a mind of its own.
This can be a great asset when I am brainstorming and being creative. Because I have a mind that is constantly running and flitting about, I am always filled with ideas. I have an entire stack of paper on my desk where I jot down notes for exciting new projects. I love the energy I get from these ideas, and putting them into action feels wonderful. So I have learned that a busy mind can be a great thing.
However, my mind More

Happy August to everyone! The past couple of months have been super busy for me. I’ve been feeling extra frazzled, so I’m really looking forward to a fresh month and this new moon period where I get to create new beginnings and the life that I choose. I really love that each thought we have and each choice we make has led us to right where we are in this exact moment. I love it because it empowers us to take action and make positive choices if we aren’t happy with everything we see.
Look around you – take a look at the life you have created. Do you like what you see? Do you like who you have become? Do you like where you live? who you spend time with? how you react to stress? how you react to joy?
Spend a few moments really breathing your life in.
Close your eyes and feel what it’s like to live this life.
And take responsibility for your part in creating it. You created all of the wonderful parts in your life, and you also created each of the parts More

Do you ever feel that life is getting just a bit too serious?
Sometimes I find that I’m so consumed with work and have complete tunnel vision toward finishing my projects and meeting my deadlines and managing everything in a healthy and productive way that I forget to have fun.
I love what I do. I absolutely do. I love inspiring.
I love writing. I love connecting.
And I love remembering why I do what I do.
Why I have these deadlines.
How blessed I am to have a full plate filled with so many possibilities.
I love remembering that a full life is a lived life.
I love remembering to:
Smile.
Laugh.
Be silly.
Make jokes.
Skip.
Play.
Giggle.
Giving myself permission to take some time off to reconnect with these parts of myself is such a wonderful gift.
I invite you to do the same.
Your projects will still be there when you return.
And think of how More

There are so many ways to navigate our way through life.
Some may be great at one thing while others may be great at something else.
And it’s perfectly okay to not be great at every single thing.
Can you imagine how exhausted you would be if you excelled at every task and talent?
We each have our own strengths and talents. This is what is so great about our world. No one is exactly the same, and we all contribute to the whole with our unique
sacred gifts.
So when you come across a certain task that you know isn’t your forte – ask someone else to help you with it. Or pass it along completely to another who excels in that area.
Be the best you that you can possibly be.
By catering to your strengths and staying true to who you are, your life will automatically flow so much easier.I have been immersing myself in a wonderful marketing program where I get to sift through many tools and tips and tricks and lessons and assignments and all sort of goodies.
And it’s a great way for me to see what my strengths are in this area.
What feels the most like me? What is a stretch but still caters to my strengths? What is a stretch and truly doesn’t feel right for me at all?
We can each do this in every aspect of our life.
Think of your day-to-day routine.
Is there any part of it where you are doing something that doesn’t cater to your strengths?
Are you compromising your own uniqueness in any way? It could be that you would rather pass the bookkeeping along to someone else and instead have more time to create. It could be that the project you’ve been working on at work doesn’t seem to be organized in a way that makes sense to you – so you could take some time to restructure it in a way that makes more sense. It could be that you’ve always played the piano, but it’s a constant struggle to try to read the music. And you find that you pick up the guitar music much more easily. Just go with that and listen to what your body and inner voice are telling you.
Life gets so much easier when we go with the current instead of against it.
Let’s all agree to swim downstream rather than upstream.
We’ll feel so More
