Everybody needs somebody to trust, talk to and confide in. Even I have people I turn to when I'm in need of advice - however, a lot of times we're so desperately seeking an answer from someone else that we fail to realize we already know what to do. I would say about 97% of [...]
We all know better sometimes, don't we? The answers are sometimes directly under our nose and instead of paying attention we let our minds take over and overwhelm us. That's when things spiral out of control. Thoughts begin to emerge like "what am I doing wrong," or "I have no idea what to do now, [...]
Hurt people, hurt people. It's true. Before we're quick to respond, or worse, react - we need to keep this in mind. People act out, cause pain and say mean things because they are hurt. It doesn't matter if that hurt was caused by you and now you're on the receiving end or not. It [...]
Circumstances aren't always going to play out the way we think they will. You know that saying, "life happens when you're making other plans;" well it's so very true. It's funny how when you dwell on a situation, you delay it, but when you put your energies into more productive activities - things just always [...]

Ever notice how if you start letting the small things upset you in the morning; spilled coffee, out of the cereal you like, [...]
Good days and bad days are going to happen regardless of our financial status, degrees and titles we hold or even how in love we are. Bad days will happen no matter how positive you are. No matter how good your relationship with God is. "Nobody ever said it would be easy," right? We were [...]
Shakti Gawain's best-known book is titled, Creative Visualization: Use the Power of Your Imagination to Create What You Want in Life (1978). This book launched a movement and though I have yet to have the privilege of sitting down and reading a copy - I've read a lot of books that have taken her concept and [...]
I participated in Gabrielle Bernstein's Spirit Junkie Masterclass last night and while everything she taught us was amazing, there was something she said while answering a question that really stuck with me until today. I really don't recall the exact question but her answer went something like this, "Don't get caught up in future-tripping." She was [...]
