How Perception Shapes Us

  The Virgo New Moon is about responsiveness and attentiveness to the details of your intentions. This leads to clear the way for thoughtful, inventive, and focused action on how to manifest our dreams and goals. So many of us say we want something, work really hard to get it, then yield to not accomplishingRead More


Presence is Power

    The New Moon in Leo is all about PRESENCE. We’ve all had the experience of a lack of presence in a relationship, in a task or in a goal. Bringing presence to your intentions is key to manifesting your vision’s true potential. If you focus on your pain and suffering, you’ll get more.Read More


Tell the World Your Best Story

  I was scheduled to go into surgery last Friday. I was in Pre-op, with the painkillers kicking in while I lounged in my hospital gown and awaited the IV with my husband at my side. But first, I had to talk to the surgeon. He’d seen me three days before and the tumor inRead More

When More is Less: Spring Clean Your Psyche

As I continue my annual spring cleaning ritual, I’ve been thinking about why we collect, gather, accumulate and seemingly attract more stuff into our lives. With my coaching & consulting clients, it’s often the same—except they accumulate ideas, products, and projects—there is a “more is more” mentality that I believe comes from deep below theRead More


Silence

The Power of Silence

When was the last time you spent a couple hours in total silence? Have you ever taken a silent retreat? Would it be possible to have more silence in your busy life? Medical studies are proving that silence renews us, and more of it leads to a life with less stress, less fear and anxiety,Read More

Fill Your Brain with Beauty

  Get into your happy place. Imagine a garden filled with flowers. Hummingbird? Check. Bees? Check. A gorgeous lover awaiting you with a cup of tea and a cozy blanket, check. Tree leaves catching shimmer in late Fall sunshine. Check. You cuddle up with a journal and your favorite pen of all time—finally, to write, reflect,Read More


Persistence

Why Persistence is the Best Daily Practice

As a strategist for business and creatives, I find that persistence in perspective separates the most successful and happy folks from those who may be financially successful but inherently insecure in what they are here to offer the world. What does that mean? That having a clear and consistent point of view is the keyRead More


Healing the Great Divide

  A couple years ago, I had a near psychological meltdown. The fires and drought in my home state were evidence that life was changing and water would soon be more valuable than any other element on earth. I was dealing with more drama with Sage’s dad than ever and it was tearing our familyRead More


Success is in the Details

Success is in the Details

  When I feel like I’m not sure of my next move, I have a practice I call Love in Detail (which is also my next book). I will take notice of all the details around me, bring awareness to the love that is inherently found in my point of view, breath, and then takeRead More


The Moving Meditation Called LIFE

Ten years ago, I went to a ten-day silent meditation retreat called Vipassana as taught by S.N. Goenka. What I learned was simple, excruciating, and mind-blowing—literally. While I recommend you do this retreat, it’s not realistic for the majority of us to go away for ten days with no contact with the outside world…but, theseRead More
