Your life requires your mindful presence in order to live it. Be here now. ~ Akiroq Brost  At this time of year many of you are ready for spring after a cold, snowy winter. It’s that time of year when there is rebirth and the signs of growth in nature. The cold winter is melting away and there is a feeling of renewal in the air. What a wonderful time for you to shed the heaviness of winter and ask yourself “What do I choose for me right now?” Are you on autopilot? For the most part, do you do the same routine every day? Instead of going through the motions of everyday life, what can you do differently. If I were to ask you if you choose life, I bet I know what your answer would be! You would say “Of course I choose life! I get up every morning and do what I do, grateful for another day.” Are you choosing life or are you on autopilot just trying to get through another day? Choosing life is a conscious awareness to be committed in the moment to living the best life you can possibly live. You are fully participating in life. You are creating your life not just moving through whatever happens that day. You can start your day with a few minutes of gratitude, prayer, journaling or meditation to choose the day you want to live. Just a few minutes taken before the “busy-ness” of the day can make such a difference. It sets the tone for the day and is a wonderful place to reflect back to as needed during the day. It is easy to just “go through the motions” of living. You live in a world that is fast paced and constantly changing. Some days there is so much happening, it can be overwhelming. Responsibilities of work, family, and your needs, can feel like a heavy burden. What if there was another way to ease that burden you might be feeling. As you go through your day, check in with yourself and see if you are present in what you are doing. Doing something while thinking about five other things is not being in the moment. If you are not living in the moment, it makes it harder to handle the distractions and challenges of life. If you find that you are thinking about the future, whether an hour from then or next year; or you are stuck in the past thinking about something that happened, ask yourself “What am I doing in this moment?” That will bring you back to the present. I have found that when you are living from every now moment, opportunities can present themselves to you and you are able to be aware of them. Often when you are not consciously in the moment, you don’t see something right in front of you that just may be wonderful! You don’t want to miss that chance of improving your life experience or doing something exciting. In the next week or two, I would challenge you to check in and see if you are living in the moment. Are you on autopilot going through the motions of living or are you consciously choosing to live a life committed to being the best possible version of you? It is time for you to fully live your life. Commit to the most important person in your life . . . YOU! What would you say if I asked you “Do you choose life?” Thank you for sharing, liking and commenting below about this blog. Feedback is always welcome.

The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new. ~ Socrates  The ongoing conversation for quite a few years has been that the world is not the same as it used to be. This was said even before the pandemic, and now we are feeling it more than ever! I’m sure you feel it in your world. Even if something feels like it is the same as it was 3 – 5 years ago, chances are great that you are doing it differently. Or you are doing the same thing and getting different results compared to what you use to do. Some aspect of almost everything in your world is different whether you are conscious of the change or not. These are extraordinary times we are living in. So many changes that you may never have thought of coming into your world. Change can be challenging or it can be exciting! Depends upon your perspective. Perhaps this simple technique will help you with all the changes. Imagine wearing a pair of glasses that help you see your perspective of the changes you are experiencing. What if you took off those glasses and put on different glasses? These new glasses would give you a completely different perspective of what is happening. Maybe seeing in a different way will help you move through the changes with more ease. Why is everything different? There are more answers to that question than could be written in this blog! Some big reasons, though, are that you have changed, and the world has changed. Many of these changes seem like they happened overnight! I’m sure you are doing the best you can to flow with these changes, but it is not always easy! At the top of your priorities should be your self-care. No matter what is happening in your world, you must take care of you! In the long run, it will be most beneficial for you and all those around you. With everything that is going on in the world, you may feel like you can’t reach out and ask for help from anyone else. Not true! There are many people able and willing to help you in ways you can’t even imagine. It’s all about helping each other. You may have a program running or belief that tells you it’s a sign of weakness to ask for help. Time to let go of that program! No one can know and do everything, no one! A sign of strength is to know when help is needed. Not only are there people who are willing to help you but there are unseen beings who you can ask for assistance also. There are many walking with you. Depending upon your beliefs, they may be angels, guides, God, your guardian angel, light beings, etc. All you have to do is ask for help and know that it is possible that a legend of angels will come to support you. If you can remember that you are not the only one facing change, maybe that will help in some way. You are not alone going through this. We all have challenges in our day to day lives, some more than others. Yet, here we are at one of the most amazing times on Earth. You are so much more than you realize! You each have special gifts and talents. Never doubt that you don’t make a difference because you do! Do what you can and when it’s more than you can do by yourself, ask for help. You are here at this time because you are needed to help with the transition taking place. Change is the only constant right now. Hang in there and remember you are not alone. Together we can do this! Thank you for sharing, liking and commenting below about this blog. Feedback is always welcome. Are you ready to live the life you desire and deserve?

I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples. ~ Mother Teresa  So much going on right now, it can be overwhelming! Some of you have been so impacted by what is happening in your life, family, country and world. You may have had moments, or even days, where you do not know what to do or which way to turn. It is evident that the world is different. What was familiar to you may not even exist anymore. Some things you did a couple of years ago now have to be done in a different way. Change is often challenging but right now that seems to be the only constant in life. With all the changes, it might feel like you are walking in quicksand. Perhaps you feel like you are stuck and there is no movement. You don't know what to do. You might believe that only big things make a difference. Small things can be the start of something “big” and wonderful! A baby takes small, wobbly steps when first learning to walk. Eventually, after many weeks and baby steps, the child is walking further and further. Soon they are able to walk in a smooth flowing way. And so it is with you! What can you do to help yourself and others? What can you do to make a difference in the world? You may be doing what you can to support people in crisis in other parts of the world. There are those of you who contribute to your community. Some of you support family members in their time of need. And, some of you who do not know what or where to start to make a difference. If it seems too much to start in a big way to help others, start with yourself. Yes, start with you! When you make positive changes within you, those beautiful changes are reflected out into the world. They affect everyone you come into contact with. Let’s look at some practical “baby” steps you can take to make a difference in your life. Move your body . . . take a walk, dance with yourself, do T’ai Chi. Drink half your body weight in ounces of water each day. Quiet your mind. Meditate or sit in silence focused on your in breath and out breath. Before you get out of bed each day, decide that you are going to make it a good day. Stop beating yourself up when you believe you have made a mistake or messed up. Stop the negative self-talk! Quiet your mind that won’t stop putting you down. Pay attention to what you are thinking and saying about yourself. Taking care of yourself is not selfish. Many of you were taught that you must put others first and not even think of doing something for yourself. Even as a parent, you have got to take care of yourself so you can be present and help your children. Give yourself permission to do for you first. Fill up your cup so then you can let it flow out to others. Love yourself enough to take care of you. You are the only person you can count on for the rest of your life. If you aren’t taking care of yourself in a way that is loving and kind, why not start now with “baby steps”. Pick even one thing you can start doing for yourself and do that for a week. See how you feel after that week. Those of you already doing things to take care of yourself, what can you do to take what you do to the next level? The more you take steps and do this on a regular basis, the sooner you will be able to walk in a place of feeling good. When you feel good about yourself, you're in a high vibrational state. This lifts up everyone around you. When you do what is best for you, it is good for everyone. Believe it or not, those baby steps you take to change yourself can make a difference in the world! Like ripples on the pond after a rock is thrown into the water, the changes you make go out from you in all directions. Baby steps can be that powerful! What are you waiting for? Take that first step. You can do this! Thank you for sharing, liking and commenting below about this blog. Feedback is always welcome. Are you ready to live the life you desire and deserve?

Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties. ~ Helen Keller  When was the last time you did something purely for the joy of it? That’s right, just for the joy of it. Not because you had to do something, or you felt you should do something, or it is what everyone wanted to do. How long has it been since you decided that you would do something because you knew it would bring you great joy? What is joy? As defined in Oxford's English dictionary, joy is “a feeling of great pleasure and happiness.” Joy can be any level of happiness. It is a feel-good emotion. I bet most of you reading this right now would like to feel happier no matter how happy you are! It seems as though joy is not as evident in our world as it used to be. So much going on with national and international events that causes joy to take a back seat in day-to-day life. What if you could have more joy in your life? Some of you have a great deal going on in your life that may seem far away from anything joyful. Sometimes you can get so far into the rabbit hole that you can’t see a way out. That is where joy can come in and help you. No matter what is happening, I guarantee that you can find joy regardless how small it may seem. Take off the glasses of darkness and look through your eyes in a new way. You can find a way to bring joy to any moment to help you climb out of the hole you may have fallen into. I bet you are thinking to yourself that you don’t know how or what to do. Understandable! Start small to bring in even one ray of joy into your life. Take five minutes to go outside and stand barefoot on the grass. Be childlike. Feel the coolness of the grass and how it feels between your toes. Face the sun. Feel the warmth of the sun entering your body from above while the coolness of the grass and ground are coming into you from below. Feel the joy of that! No matter what your age is, there are experiences, people, and things that have brought you joy. If it has been a while since you have felt joy, reflect on how you did feel the last time you felt joy. Sit in the feeling of that joy. Even experiencing joy again like this is beneficial. Reflecting on what has brought you joy in the past may help you understand what you can do in the present to bring joy back into your life. Even if you are an adult, it is okay to do some of the things that brought you joy when you were young. Did you like to paint with watercolors or bake with your mom? Did you love being outside riding your bike all day? Perhaps now you can do some of these things again. Maybe it is time to find new ways to bring joy into your life. What do you feel you could do to bring joy into your life in a different way? Consider all the things that bring a smile to your face or cause your heart to be full just from thinking about them. Give yourself permission to try something new. Regardless of what is happening around you and, in the world, it is a gift that you give everyone when you are happy. It is not selfish! Rather, it is beneficial for everyone around you. Your happiness may be just what someone needed to get out of the hole they found themselves in. Finding your joy is something currently needed on this planet. Happiness and joy are high frequency feelings that lift up all who experience it. Your joy does and will have an impact on everyone and everything on the Earth. Do it for the joy of it. Thank you for sharing, liking and commenting below about this blog. Feedback is always welcome.

If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. ~ Dr. Wayne Dyer  It has been a long time since I visited with all of you. How is it possible that it has been almost a year since I wrote my last blog? Time seemed to be speeded up with the world spinning in so much chaos. I am sure that each one of you reading this has had your life impacted in many ways in the past year. It’s easy to get caught up in the chaos and drama if you aren’t careful. Hard not to! Jobs changing, weather conditions out of control, relationships ending, people passing, and the daily way of life forever changing. We are all affected. This past year I had to continually find a balance between working, “doing” and taking care of me. I love what I do and with many people asking for help, some days I didn’t quite find that balance. I realized I had to prioritize my life and make me my #1 priority. Something I asked clients to consider, so I had to do what was best for me also. I shifted things on my “to do” list and thus the hiatus from writing. I have taken time for self-love and self-care during these past months. I have come to a sense of peace as events unfold in my life. I am now in a place of harmony with the different aspects of my life. It feels good to be writing again! Everything may not always be in balance in our life but we can find a way to harmonize them. It’s all about your perspective. Dr. Wayne Dyer said, “If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” I have found this to be true. I can find good in some of the most horrific things that have happened to me. Really! I mean that sincerely! How are you looking at things in your life? Are you seeing the glass as half full or half empty? Can you change your perspective? Are you a “half full” kind of person who looks for the positive no matter what is happening? We all do it. Something challenging happens in our life and we get caught up in thinking negatively about it. Then we have negative things to say about what happened. Then we believe the negative thoughts and words. Soon this negativity bleeds over into other areas of our life if we are not careful to stop ourselves. We are all aware of the negative or “bad” things that happen every day. We are constantly reminded through all forms of media. What if for every “not so wonderful” thing you hear or read about, you look for five wonderful and beautiful things that are happening? You create more of what you focus on. Want more negativity in your life? Focus on all the negativity that is going on around you and out in the world. Want to be more positive and live life experiencing more good, then look for kindness, love, compassion, patience, generosity, happiness, joy and thoughtfulness every where you go. You can change your perspective as simply as taking a deep breath and choosing to look at what is happening in front of you in a completely different way. Can you be open to other possibilities for what you are experiencing? Let go of past conditioning and beliefs and open yourself to the world that is full of many perspectives, options, and possibilities. Are you ready to be open to other ways of being? Commit to looking at everything in your life through a new set of eyes. What can you change or what can you let go of? Being willing to change your perspective, gives you permission to see differently. Perhaps something wonderful has been right there in plain view every day but your current perspective has caused you not to see it. Changing your point of view even a little bit could make a major difference in your life. Happy New Year . . . Happy New You! Thank you for sharing, liking and commenting below about this blog.

If you don’t love yourself, nobody will. Not only that, you won’t be good at loving anyone else. Loving starts with the self. ~ Wayne Dyer  Can someone please tell me? What does it mean when they say the word . . . self-love? I know how to love others. I love my family. My parents who raised me, my siblings who grew up with me. My spouse of all these years, and . . . my beautiful children. How can I love myself? What does it mean, what does that look like . . . self-love? I’m told it is important. All these years of loving others. That’s what I was told was necessary, that’s what I was made to believe. Always do for others and never . . . take time for yourself. How do I unlearn all the truths no longer mine? I was told it was selfish to take time for me. Old beliefs must be released . . . self-love. How can I make myself a priority? It feels so foreign to take time for me. Five minutes of quiet deep breathing, and time long overdue to . . . read a favorite book. Can I do this for me? One step at a time to become stronger within . . . self-love. I do this for me, I do this for you. As I learn how to love and experience love of myself, I am better able to love . . . everyone, including you. Will you do this also? Give yourself permission Know you are deserving and worthy . . . time for yourself. Do this for you, do this for others. Love yourself fully and completely. Know that you are special and loved more than you could know. . . self-love. We all can do this. Love starts with me and doesn’t end with you . . . self-love. Love of self and love of others. A gift you give yourself and all others. The gift of self-love that turns into love of others . . . self-love and love. What a treasured gift . . . self-love.

Each of us has an inner room where we can visit to be cleansed of fear-based thoughts and feelings. This room, the holy of holies, is a sanctuary of light. ~ Marianne Williamson  How are you doing? Have you checked in with yourself lately? I mean “really checked in with yourself”. So much going on in the world, around you and within you. It's hard not to be feeling some level of stress and anxiety. Take a moment or two and really check in with yourself. Can you even put into words what you are feeling? Confusion, uneasiness, calmness within the storm, numbness? Some of you have said you are grateful for the time home with family and living a slower pace life with less or no rushing around in “busy-ness”. You might also be in a place of uncertainty, overwhelm, sadness, shock, grief, depression or fear. F. E. A. R. is a big one . . . it encompasses so many other feelings Whatever you might be feeling, please do yourself a favor and feel what you are feeling! Take time to look at what feelings and emotions are coming up for you. It can actually be harmful on many levels of you, especially emotionally and physically, when you ignore your feelings and stuff them. Rather than “stuff” these feelings, acknowledge them, feel them and then release them so they no longer hold you back. Many of you have told me that “old” feelings, triggers and programs are coming up. Again, a lot of emotional baggage is ready to be cleared and released. It is a time of great change and it all starts with you. There is no right or wrong way to feel or “be” during this unprecedented time on Earth. It’s okay not to be okay! There are days you can accomplish more than you did the entire previous week! Some days you can’t do anything but rest, even after sleeping through the night. You just have to honor what your body is telling you and how you feel. All of this is part of you becoming the new you in the new world. I heard from several of you that you can’t wait to get back to normal. My response has been and continues to be “the world will not get back to normal as we knew it.” We may have a new normal but we won’t go back to the old normal. For all our sakes, I pray the world doesn’t go back to the way it was! What would your ideal world look like? If you could, what kind of world would you like to wake up to tomorrow morning? What role would you have in this world? There are so many possibilities and potentials for your life and planet Earth. It starts with each one of us. This virus was a wake-up call for all of humanity. As difficult as it has been for many people, it has been a blessing in disguise. It has caused us as a collective to look at what we hold to be true for us as individuals and as a society. Have you taken time to examine what is true for you? If so, great! Are you fully committed to living in your truth? If not, it may time to check in with yourself and decide what is true for you! Thank you for sharing, liking and commenting below about this blog.

If you believe it will work out, you’ll see opportunities. If you believe it won’t, you’ll see obstacles. ~ Wayne Dyer  So much happening. Around me, Within me, And in the world. I sense a myriad of emotions in the collective. Overwhelming fear, Unending anxiety, Deep sadness, Rising anger, Grief. What will the future hold? No one knows, Considerable uncertainty, Nothing seems as if it will be the same. I sit in isolation. Missing the physical connection with family and friends, I see their faces on the screen And hear their voices through the speaker. I miss the hugs, held tight to one another And kisses upon my cheek. An angel lands upon my shoulder. I hear a whisper in my ear, "Time to look through your eyes With a different perspective." I ask for clarity. "When you focus on the negative, You will see negative, Feel bad, Not be able to move forward And do what you came here to do. Look for the good. In others, Within you, In everything that is happening." I take a deep breath. Adjust my focus, Change my perspective, See the goodness in humanity, Notice the kind words And selfless actions. I see the good being done by many. I begin to feel better, I want to help others, My inner light begins to shine. I realize I am not alone in isolation. I can reach out and connect with others, In their time of need Or as they are in service. I, too, am part of the community As we all go through this experience together. All we have is the present moment. Of this I can be certain, Staying in the here and now, Creating my future. I sense new feelings within me. Strength from deep within, Hope abounds, Compassion, for me and for everyone, Peace and calmness, And, most of all . . . love. So much happening. Around me, Within me, And in the world. Grateful!

It is only in our darkest hours that we may discover the true strength of the brilliant light within ourselves that can never, ever, be dimmed. ~ Doe Zantamat  As I sit here doing my best to find the words to convey what a lot of us are experiencing and feeling, I just can’t seem to find the right words. It’s so much more than the virus that is affecting us. So many things happening individually and as a collective. Each one of you is having your own unique experience in these unsettling times. Some of you have lost your job and are uncertain when and if you will be able to return to work. Some of you are working from home, adapting to a new way of being “in” the workplace. Many, if not most of you, are home because your state has issued a “stay at home” order or something similar. This can be a very scary time. There is so much fear on the Earth right now . . . not just where you live but around the world! This is hard on everyone. You can sense it in the collective. We are living through a huge wakeup call for all of humanity. I hear some of you say “I can’t wait till this all blows over and we can get back to normal." What is normal? I have said for many years that everything is changing. Here we are. Welcome to change! I believe all of this will cause us to have a “new” normal. Most of you have had your day-to-day life and schedule completely turned upside down. Many of you have more time at home. Depending upon your perspective, this time at home can be a challenge or a gift. With this extra time at home, what are you doing on a daily basis? Are you glued to the TV hanging on every word that is said and that causes more fear within you? Do you find yourself in your mind thinking and rethinking about what the future will bring? Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it or work around it. ~ Michael Jordan With a large number of you at home with family, there are different and perhaps more demands put on parents than when your children were attending school. As much as you love your children, you can’t lose yourself in taking care of them. You can’t forget about you and what you need. Now more than ever, it is so important to take care of yourself. Those of you who follow my blog, know I have written many times about making YOU your #1 priority. Self-care is so important! If you don’t take care of you, you won’t be able to take care of anyone else. Many of you are doing a good job coping and even exceling during this time. You are decluttering and repairing your home. Depending what part of the country you live in, you may be working in your yard and clearing it for new growth this spring. You are finding new ways to exercise at home. Perhaps you have found a new way to video chat with friends and family in other parts of the world as a new way of keeping in touch. Some of you are bringing forth creative talents you’ve always had but may have been hidden. You are writing that book you never had time to write. I’ve seen many beautiful paintings and craft projects displayed online. You may be finding that inner chef and baker that you didn’t realize you were all these years! These creative projects add so much to uplift all of us. Tough times never last, but tough people do. ~ Robert H Schulle During this time of slowdown and isolation, give yourself the gift of taking care of all of you . . . physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Find time to go within and look at what truly matters to you. Deep within you is your true essence, who you really are. It’s time for your hidden gifts and talents to come forth. You can also take care of you by staying in the present moment. When you find yourself scared of getting sick or wondering what the future will bring, bring yourself back to the NOW moment. In that moment, find something to be grateful for. When you are in a place of gratitude, it changes everything. One moment of gratitude can lead to another moment and another. Soon you will find that you have much to be grateful for. In that moment, you are alive and can trust that we are all going to be okay . . . no matter what that looks like and no matter the outcome. If at times you find all of this to be more than you can bare, remember that you are not the only one experiencing this. You are not alone. We are all going through this. And, together, we will come out the other side of this unprecedented time on Earth! Thank you for sharing, liking and commenting below about this blog.

The two things in life you are in total control over are your attitude and effort. ~ Billy Cox  How is your world? Is your life flowing and are you moving through your day with ease? If you answered “yes,” I’m excited for you! And, I want to thank you for living your life that way as it is helpful to all those around you as well. Then there are those of you that feel you have good days and some days that are not so good. I would also guess that some of you reading this don’t feel like anything works out for you and you struggle on many days. You may feel like pulling the covers over your head when the alarm goes off in the morning. No matter how you feel each day, wherever you are living, you know that things are not as they use to be. Everything is different, changing in ways that are hard to describe, yet you know they are different. Often it is difficult to know how to get through what shows up for you in your daily life. Many people believe they can control what is happening in their life. To a certain extent, I believe we create some or all of our life events and experiences. And yet, we can have something happen that we know we would never have created that throws us completely off our path! We immediately think “Where did that come from and why me?” I had an experience last month that reminded me of this! I was feeling better than I ever have in my entire life. Yes, really, the best ever! I was eating healthy, exercising, sleeping well, my body was moving better than I had ever experienced. I just felt good on all levels of me. Then, boom! Out of nowhere, I got hit by a virus that knocked me flat on my back for a week!!! It was then that I realized that I can’t control everything. I thought I was doing all the right things to be healthy and feel good. Then I get sick and I knew that, for whatever reason, some things are out of my control – they are uncontrollable. You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you. ~ Brian Tracy This illness reminded me that I can control my attitude about what is happening in any moment. My attitude is a “controllable” and that no one but me can control it. Regardless of what is happening in my life, I can choose a positive or negative attitude about it. This experience also helped me see that a great deal of time and energy can be spent on things that are uncontrollable. I would rather devote my time and energy on something controllable than try to control and predict an outcome for an uncontrollable in my life. Letting go of what is uncontrollable is actually less stressful and very free-ing! Are there things in your life that you feel you must control that really are uncontrollable? Take time to review the last week or month. See if there are some things that you can let go of that really are out of your control. Let them go and see if a burden is lifted from you that you no longer need to carry. As things continue to change in your world, find ways to make life easier for you. Realize that you can let go of what is uncontrollable. Let go of what really doesn’t matter and focus on what does matter . . . YOU!

You are loved just for being who you are, just for existing. You don’t have to do anything to earn it. ~ Ram Dass  ~ This message was written from my heart for each one of you reading it. No matter what the day or time of year, please know how much you are loved. Dear One, You are such a beautiful, amazing, brilliant soul. Your light, your essence is beyond this world.

Only do what your heart tells you. ~ Princess Diana  It has been an interesting start to 2020. There seems to be more excitement about the new year than any other year recently. I don’t know if it is because it’s a new decade or what! People seem ready for something new – individually and collectively. How are you doing in this new year? How are you feeling about the possibilities and potentials for this year? It can be exciting or scary because of the unknown but one thing is for sure . . . everything is changing! I’m sure you are aware that one of the most constant things in your life is change! With so much going on in the world and in your own life, it is time to get as comfortable as possible with change. Change is not always easy but, in the end, change can turn out to be very beneficial! Often without even realizing it, you get comfortable with where you are, doing what you do, being who you are. That’s beautiful and you can stay right there where you are . . . unless that’s really not who you are and what you are supposed to be doing! If that is true for you, you can make a change or often something will happen to cause you to make a change. Then there are many of you who are proactively choosing to make changes. That is fabulous! At times, though, you may feel like you have no choice in making a change, that outside forces are causing you to change. Regardless of how you make a change, you are still able to choose how you react to the change. You can resist the change or make the best of the change. If you are here on this Earth at this time, you are changing. There is no way you can be here and not feel the changes happening within and around you. Take a deep breath and take a moment to reflect on the past 5 years. How are you different? What changes have happened in your world and around the globe in the past 5 years that have affected you? Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. ~ Albert Einstein Change is happening more rapidly than ever. You can’t keep doing things the old way and expect the old way to work in the world we are living in now. It is time to find a new way of doing things. Time for you to do and be in a more heart-centered way. Yes, you still have to use your brain but it is time for your brain to be more connected to your heart than ever before. Your decisions are made now from your heart with love, love for yourself and others. The changes you make when made from your heart are more likely to flow and feel good. When you are trying to make a decision, about anything, stop and see how your decision “feels” to you. What does your heart tell you? Ask yourself, “How do I feel about xyz?” Or, “How does xyz make me feel?” If it doesn’t feel right, make a different choice. If it feels good to you, follow through with your decision. When you make choices from the heart that feel good, change becomes that much easier. If you have been one of those people who resist change or have difficulty making decisions, maybe this new way of making decisions can help you to be more open and flowing with change. Making decisions from your heart may just bring you results better than you can imagine! Here’s to you having a heart centered start to the new year and new decade!

There is one art of which people should be masters – the art of reflection. ~Samuel Coleridge  It’s that time between Christmas and New Year’s where things slow down at the end of the year before the start of a new year. That feeling that you need to take a deep, long exhale after all that goes into the holiday planning and “doing”. You can finally catch your breath. It’s also the time of year when you tend to pause and reflect on the year that is almost completed. You look at where you have been, what you did, what you feel good about and maybe the things you don’t feel so good about. Some of you will also look at the upcoming year with great anticipation with what you want to accomplish in the new year. You may feel that it is more challenging to “exhale” at the end of this year than other years. 2019 was a challenging year. It turned us inside out while pushing and pulling us beyond our comfort zones. Collectively, out in the mass consciousness, there was so much going on while individually you felt changes in your own personal world. Regardless if you flowed with the changes or resisted them, you changed. When you take time to reflect on 2019, notice all the ways you changed from where you were a year ago. As many of you have observed, there is great change happening in governments, financial institutions, healthcare and other institutions in many countries. Around the world, no matter where you are, there is change in the air. It can be scary to watch these changes or be a part of them, and yet change can also be good. Changes have also happened in your own personal world this year. Jobs changing, moving to a new home, relationships ending, physical illness, or people dying and leaving you. As you reflect on the past year, you may know or feel differently about you . . . your beliefs, how you nurture yourself, your self-talk and how you love yourself. As changes happen in your external world, you can be sure there are internal changes happening at the same time or vice versa. If we don’t change, we don’t grow. If we don’t grow, we aren’t really living. ~ Gail Sheehy No matter what, it is my belief that there can be something good and wonderful in whatever is happening. It may not always be obvious that good can come from a dear person dying or losing a job that provides food for your children. It can be devastating! Yet, in that moment, can you look for all the possible good that may occur from what just happened? I know from personal experience what this can feel like. I have gone through some things that could have been overwhelming and destroyed my spirit. Many people would ask me “How are you able to function and be so positive with all that you are going through?” Without fail, I would look for the positive even in some of the most horrible situations. Not always easy to do, but that is how I got through difficult situations in my life. By focusing on the good, it made the bad not seem so bad. See if this helps you the next time you are faced with an upsetting situation. Take time to breathe. Get into your heart center and look for something, anything, no matter how small that is a “good” part of what just happened. Believe that something wonderful will happen from whatever you are experiencing. Focus on the beautiful possibilities that now have an opening to come to you because of what just happened. Maybe a friend heard about you losing your job and that very day, his boss made an announcement the company needs to hire more help. You apply and you get the job which is better than the job you lost. There is just no getting around that turning bad things into good things is up to you. ~Deepak Chopra 2020 can be a turning point year for you if you allow it to be. Not only is January the start of a new year, it is the start of a new decade! Yes, there is much out there in the world that doesn’t look so good. It’s all in your perception. What will you “see” when you reflect on 2019? In that reflection, can you then come up with a vision for what you want for you, your family, the world in 2020? Who do you want to be with all these changes that are happening? You each make a difference! Thank you for taking a long slow exhale at this time and reflecting on what you can do to make a difference in the world. This in turn helps everyone else. I am grateful for each one of you and what you are doing to make the world a better place. Blessings for a new year and new decade that is beyond anything you could imagine!

Happiness doesn’t result from what we get, but from what we give. ~ Ben Carson  So often at this time of the year, your thoughts go to what gift will you give a friend or family member for the holiday. Or, maybe you have a “wish list” of what you would like to receive. Commercials and ads begin to run in October for the holiday buying season and it seems as though the holiday season is getting earlier and earlier in the year. What if this season you took time to give the greatest gift of all . . . the gift of you? No matter what your spending budget may be, the gift of you cost nothing but your time and effort. You have many gifts to offer others and these types of gifts are priceless! You may even want to reconsider your wish list. Rather than a material gift, there may be something that you want to do that would be easier with the help of another person. Many will feel honored that you considered them to help you with something. They are helping you and it is uplifting for them. That’s a gift that goes both ways! The act of giving to someone is just as important for the person giving the gift as the person receiving the gift. You may have a hard time accepting gifts, payments or acts of kindness from others. Many people do. When you don’t accept what someone wants to give you, then you are denying them the joy of giving to you. Accept the gift and allow them to experience the joy of giving! I believe that most people truly prefer the gift of you over anything material. If you are having a hard time thinking of what “gifts of you” that you could give to someone, let’s look at some possibilities.
Gifts are given more at this time of the year than any other time. What if this year, you started a new tradition of giving the gift of you? Maybe this type of gift giving will become so popular that the holiday gift season will be all year long! As you do this and model for others, think about all the ways you are making this a better world for everyone! You being YOU is a gift!  Thank you for the gift of YOU. I am grateful for the gift of each one of you. Wishing you all the blessings and gifts of the season - joy, peace and especially . . . love.

When you are grateful – when you can see what you have – you unlock blessings to flow in your life. ~ Suze Orman  As I reflect on all that is happening in the world right now, I feel a deep gratitude for all of you who are making an effort, any effort, to be more authentic, more your true self. I would guess that those of you who are reading this feel the stress and pressure of living on Earth at this time. If you are not careful, you can get sucked right into the drama and chaos that is swirling around you, personally and out in the world. Nothing is as it once was. The world is changing at a rapid pace. I hear people say they don’t know what they are doing or where they are going. It is a confusing time to be alive and yet, it can be an exciting time to be alive!!! When you don’t know what to do, the one thing you can do is turn inward. Ask yourself what you can do for YOU in that moment. Many of you were taught to do for others, to put others first before yourself. You may have the belief that it is “selfish” to take care of you first. When flying on a plane with others, you are told to put your oxygen mask on before helping others. If you pass out from lack of oxygen, you won’t be able to help anyone! It is now known that when you give and give to others, you deplete your “reserves” and then there is nothing left for you. Imagine giving to yourself first, filling you up first, and then letting all the extra flow out from you to others! It is a more uplifting and less draining way of living. Please let me make it clear . . . I am not talking about you doing nothing for other people. I’m talking about finding a balance between doing for others and doing for you. This may be where you have to set boundaries and say “no” more often in order to take time for you. When you ignore you and your needs, wishes and desires, you are not helping anyone! Often without realizing it, you can become resentful, bitter and angry because you didn’t take time for you. Even if you think no one knows how you are feeling, your anger and resentfulness will be sent out in your energy frequency to everyone around you. They will feel it even if you do not verbalize how you are feeling! If you are thinking that there is no way you can take time for yourself in your busy day, I would encourage you to find ways to do even little things for you. Take a break, walk outside, clear your mind and get some fresh air for 5 minutes. Close the door of your office and sit for 5 minutes in silence and breathe deeply to reset yourself. Do something physical even if it is just walking up and down stairs for 5 minutes. Love yourself enough that you do something to show yourself that love. It can be anything big or small, just do something. Give yourself that gift. In this world that seems to demand so much from each of you, you must make it a priority to take care of YOU! At this time of year when people are especially in a thankful and grateful state of mind, I am grateful for each one of you and what you are doing for yourself. When you do what is right for you, it is right for everyone around you . . . including me. Thank you. I am grateful for the gift of you!
