Free of fear




When you are no longer afraid, 
the world becomes your friend...

Cup runneth over



When you do things with your whole heart, you will not only be successful, 
but there will be a flow of energy running through you that will never empty out...

Finding the gifts




Don't judge the world by the color of your days.
Instead look for the gifts that are hidden behind the fabric of pain...

Play time




A light hearted day with the little rascals...

A new view of the world




We see the world through a filter called "the past". As we heal the experiences 
that were difficult, frightening, hurtful... our view begins to change. 
Without the past, we find life to be beautiful, mysterious, safe, supportive, 
adventurous, loving, kind...

Seeing your beauty




You were born to shine, but the source of your light is self-love.
To find your glow, eliminate perfectionism, self-criticism...

A giving heart



When our hearts are filled with God,
all that flows from it is goodness...

Shine away



Why prove our worth when we were all born to shine? 
No one is more or less than the next person. 
Trying to be prove ourselves is the trappings of ego. 

The gift of freedom



Fear says " I need to hold onto my treasures (people, place, things)  
because there is something lacking in me that I can get from them.
Faith says "There is nothing I lack therefore I hold unto nothing"

Truth



Where the soul and the heart meet
is where my home is...

Creative healing





Is your story woven with acts of kindness, courage, and faith? Or are your pages filled with fear, doubt, worry, and unworthiness? If you could write a new script, would you be the hero in your story? Would you stand up for what you believe in, being humble and fierce at the same time? Would unconditional love be your greatest achievement? Would you throw away the tarnished mirror of your past? Would you be a warrior for truth? Would you let go of shallow living and youthful arrogance? Would you meet every day with open arms, trusting what life hands you?

A few of my favorite things



There may come a time when we realize there are certain behaviors we need to throw into the fire, and other qualities that we desire to focus and build on. A few of the positive things are humility, honesty, patience, authenticity, appreciation, compassion, flexibility, a loving relationship with ourselves, an open mind and a conscience so loud that we can't ignore it...

Accepting what is



When we stop wishing for things to be different,
when we cease our useless attempts to control,
when we stop struggling against the flow of life,
we discover a deep sense of peace and freedom...

A new chapter




We have all come to crossroads in our lives where a fallen limb has blocked our path. 
It's the Universe's way of pointing us in a different direction. Sometimes we fear change so deeply though, that we put all our effort into climbing over the limb rather than choosing a new path. But in giving our power to fear, we miss the next beautiful plan that life has in store for us...

Surrendering to what is



When we align ourselves with God, there will be nothing to pray for.
 No need to pray for things to go our way. That is ego's strategy.

Taking flight




One day pain and sorrow will be nothing 
but wings to fly with...

Being honest with ourselves



Without faith and spiritual guidance, we're like children who have lost their way in the forest. We go through life feeling anxious, doubtful, clingy, and afraid. We attempt to manage fear by depending on others for our sense of security or we numb ourselves. Though our ways don't work, we're too proud to ask for guidance or admit that we need help. Self-will only leads us deeper into the forest...

Path to wholeness




 I have devoured self-help books, listened to inspirational tapes, attended motivational conferences, and other such things, Though these props never healed me, they did awaken  parts of me, broadened my awareness, and gave me support  and guidance as I worked on my issues...

A fresh start



There came a time when I had to surrender my old ideas about happiness. 
I learned that external happiness doesn't last and it put me in the position of 
relying on people, places, and things to fulfill me. To be truly happy, 
I knew I had to detach from my attachments...

Baby steps forward





I spent a large portion of my life disconnected from myself emotionally, spiritually, and physically. Today, spirituality has become one of the biggest components to my life. Physically, I listen to my body. I love to stretch, walk, and practice yoga. These changes didn't come easy. I was stubborn, but now understand that I was afraid of change and loss of control. It took a lot of painful lessons to awaken the sleeping parts of myself. Years of learning to surrender my will, my rigid ideas, my unhealthy behaviors...

Cleaning our inner house



Most of us don't like feeling uncomfortable. We tend to ignore the inner voice that beckons our attention. There comes a day though, when life begins to feel noticeably heavy. Some call it depression. I see it as a wake-up call. A time to do some soul cleansing. We aren't designed to carry around old baggage. When it piles too high, it chokes the joy out of living... 

Feet firmly planted





Living with conviction means having the courage to 
stand by what you know to be true...

Loving what is




Life is always blessing us with gifts but we often miss them.
We think things should look a certain way instead of realizing
that what is happening now is the gift, no matter what 
the situation appears to be. ..

Morning prayer



Thank you God, for another day that I can serve you by making a difference 
in someone else's life and at the same time, continue to work on improving my own. 
I am committed to the process of change so that I may grow into all you
would have me be. I trust that today you will bring me the perfect circumstances 
to help me...

Pure love




We will only try to change someone if we have an unconscious belief that there is something lacking in us that we can get from them. The truth is, we already have everything we need. When we give up stories of lack, truth will seep into our soul 
and the love we will offer others will be unconditional...

Free of ego



Picture yourself as a woman whose life is founded on wisdom and truth.
Clearness of mind has liberated her from the illusions of the world
and fulfilled her desire for freedom...

Heart wide open



Love is not about choosing who we give our affections to. 
It's about living with an open heart; a heart free of judgement.
Often the hardest people to love are our best teachers...

Creating goodness


Picture yourself as a woman who has created a life 
that is colorful, soulful, joyful...

Feeling our feelings



Open the door to your feelings.
Treat them all as a dear friend.
Joy, sorrow, hurt, disappointment...
are all part of being alive.


Infinitely wonderful


Picture yourself as a woman who is creative, fearless, thoughtful, optimistic, 
and take takes delight in even the simplest of things...

Picture yourself as a woman who has faced her past, healed her wounds, 
found inner peace, and set the bar high for her future (infinite possibilities)

Fierce grace



Grace doesn't always come in ways we would expect. 
When we experience an act of kindness from someone 
right at the moment we're in need of it, we know it's grace.
 But there is also the kind of grace that comes from being broken open. 
This can mean illness, loss, divorce... Sometimes we aren't willing to change 
until we've been brought to our knees. When grace is fierce, 
it smashes through our denial. Before grace, we were captive to fear, 
masking it with behaviors such as pridefulness, rigidness... 
After grace, we soften. We become more open-hearted and relinquish 
self-defeating behaviors...
