  • It’s Gonna Be A Lovely Day!

    It’s Gonna Be A Lovely Day!

    The last few days have brought me many reminders of how truly supported I am. And looking back even further, I see that I have always been supported – lifted! – by so many around me. As a child, my parents always made sure that there were opportunities to grow (and have fun!). My teachers…

  • How To Tap Your Personal Power

    How To Tap Your Personal Power

    We are all powerful beyond measure. It comes with the territory of being human. We are born into a world where we can choose to think what we want, to do the work we like, to live where we want, who we spend time with – anything! Everything! But sometimes we forget this. Over a…

  • Step Back To See Clearly

    Step Back To See Clearly

    Last week, I packed up the car and made a run to Mammoth Mountain for some vacation. What a blast! Up there in the mountains, there was really no other place, no other time, than right here, right now. I measured the days on the mountain by how many songs played in my headphones. And…

  • What Direction Will YOU Take?

    What Direction Will YOU Take?

    Happy Saturday! I hope your week was lovely. This past week offered me an opportunity. I could fall into old habitual patterns, or I could make a conscious decision to go a different way. The moment of decision was prompted by a sudden rush of emotion – the wisdom of the body offered me a…

  • Your Friends Can Save You!

    Your Friends Can Save You!

    The other week, I got out and spent some time with friends, celebrating a birthday over laughter and amazing food on one occasion, and catching up with Amy, who I hadn’t seen in months. More lovely conversation! I remember thinking that I didn’t have time to hang out for very long. “There’s too much work to…

  • Where Is The Love?

    Where Is The Love?

    Today, take special care to focus on the abundance in your life, the goodness, the love. Where do you see it? Where do you feel it? We sometimes get locked into a very limited view of love — that it’s something we quest for, something we reserve for “the one,” something that is hard to…

  • Get ‘er Done!

    Get ‘er Done!

    What’s on your to-do list today? How much do you plan to get done? And once you’ve completed those tasks, will you finally rest, basking in the joy of accomplishment? Or will you fidget anxiously as you contemplate what you have yet to do? Are we really ever “done,” done? Rather than being a cause…

  • Catch Yourself In The Present

    Catch Yourself In The Present

    One day as I was making my way home in LA traffic, I noticed something. I noticed that I was wishing things were different. I was hoping for the lights to turn green upon my approach, encouraging the drivers in front of me to pick up the pace a bit, even reminiscing about the other day…

  • Where Are You Rushing Off To?

    Where Are You Rushing Off To?

    Today I invite you to look at the speed of your thoughts. Notice that the stream of thinking, from the moment you wake up, until the moment you lay back down, propels you ever forward in a non-stop quest for…… what? What are we rushing around for? Why are we in such a hurry to…

  • Flexibility, A Cure

    Flexibility, A Cure

    You have a set way of doing things. You brush your teeth a certain way; go about your morning ritual a certain way; take a certain route to work; dress, talk, style your hair, even eat a certain way. You might say that these ways are just how you do things. “This is who I…
