This is a time of unprecedented transformation so we must sustain lightness in life. We are all being challenged to let go of anything that doesn't serve or support the love, joy, peace and abundance we want in our lives. Transformation at this level feels turbulent, unsteady and sometimes like the ground is shifting under our feet. Like a surfer, it requires us to remain balanced, grounded, and steady as we move through these shifting waves. Sustaining lightness gives us the ability to move beyond any circumstance with complete trust in ourselves and the source of light through us. But, how do we sustain lightness without falling off our … [Read more...]
Choices That Invite in Miracles
Five years after having been diagnosed with breast cancer, I am reminded daily that we can make discerning choices that invite a series of unspeakably perfect miracles. Choices that invite miracles are those that dramatically alter our perspective, open us to transformation, and manifest something beyond what we ever thought possible. When we consciously declare our intention and direct our energy positively, we are likely to make such choices, which can transform our thoughts, bodies and ultimately, our lives.Choices that invite miracles are initiated by our cocreation with source-light energy. These choices take us outside our bodies, … [Read more...]
Autumn a Time of Transformation

It is a season of permanence and change where we find the inner reserves of strength to change as well. To do this, we have to take the time to go within, release energy blocks and move through this regenerative clearing process as a part of our spiritual development.As we were admiring the brilliant scarlet leaves of my Japanese … [Read more...]
Confronting Our Deepest Vulnerabilities
Facing our deepest vulnerabilities is the path to healing ourselves and expressing our fullest potential. So many of us hide behind a wall of resistance, afraid that if we let our guard down, let someone in, or let our feelings emerge, we will spiral out of control.

Listening to Your Heart
Most of us have been raised in cultures that value the head over the heart, logic over intuition and thought over inner knowing. As a result, we have lost touch with the inner voice that lets us know us who we are. We often listen to our mental dictates and beliefs instead of tuning in to the whisper of spirit through our heart. This physical habit can feel as ingrained as the way we breathe or walk. However, with effort and conscious awareness, we can shift our energy to our hearts, listening and responding from this much deeper, more resonant place.Our analytical brain gives us a limited perspective-from the past. Like a computer, it can … [Read more...]
Disengaging From Negative People
Many people who we come into contact with everyday have difficulty being accountable for own lives. Rather than taking responsibility for their choices, they often become defensive, blame others, and/or play mind games trying to protect their own ego. People stuck in these toxic patterns can be depleting to our energies and highly destructive. When we interact or are in relationship with them, we think we have to play the same games to defend ourselves, but this only leads to deeper confusion, more conflict, and erodes our true sense of ourselves.The best way to detach from people who engage in such negative patterns is to disengage from the … [Read more...]
Opening Our Heart Links Us to Our Being

Becoming Our Own Loving Coach
By becoming our own loving coach, we can respond to life circumstances proactively rather than reactively. Through opening our heart and projecting the beauty of our inner being, we begin to see ourselves in a positive light and that we are doing the best we can. This allows us to release anything that keeps us stuck in a holding pattern with life. We can forgive ourselves for our past choices and then visualize ourselves moving forward and making more impeccable choices in the future. This takes trusting the voice of spirit through our hearts and eliminating self-abusive thoughts, beliefs, and words and replacing them with positive … [Read more...]
Moving Beyond Negativity
"I thank you God for this most amazing day: for the leaping greenly spirits of trees and a blue true dream of sky: and for everything which is natural which is infinite which is yes." - E.E. CummingsWe are bombarded with negativity everyday and it is up to us to move beyond its incessant presence in our lives. As human beings, we may find ourselves addicted to the daily drama of the world, the people around us, or our own negative process. We are even conditioned to reinforce the negative when we co-miserate with our family, friends, or colleagues. When we take responsibility for another person's process, we actually imprison their capability … [Read more...]
Divine Synchronicity
The sequence of choices that lead to making dreams a reality may often appear random, but we have to trust the voice of spirit speaking through our heart that there is a spiritual purpose to the chain of selections, which reflects divine synchronicity. Divine synchronicity occurs when we empower ourselves to move beyond fear and self-doubt, declare intentions, and use positive energy to manifest them. During such experiences, we are a conduit for the spiritual information moving us toward manifesting our intentions. As such, we will know what our next choice is and when to implement it.Like combing the beach for special shells, we have to … [Read more...]
