Almost everyday I make time to write down things that I am grateful for.

Staring at the popcorn ceiling for five days as allowed me to spend a great deal of time contemplating so many things in my life. The obvious, current moment ‘thing’ is the pain and the implication of an injury to not only my business life, but my life in general. The daily dog walk that [...]

“Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness. How do you know this is the experience you need?

Three days of blustery wind gusts. Interesting to me how nature can remind me that the external chaos of life offers a chance to practice staying grounded and centered. Just as the wind can howl through the trees in a fit of rage and the swirling of dust and dirt create an unsettling, our own [...]
Receive

I was gifted yesterday with the reminder to receive and to allow the gratitude of others to enter in. It is so often that when thanked for something I find myself replying with “thank YOU” rather than welcoming in the gratitude and receiving. This angel of a person was not going to let me get [...]
