I LOVE this time of year!
I adore the warmth of the season and the promise of newness. The days are getting longer, and finally, the sun is shining! Summer is just around the corner, bringing light to our days.
Here is something to think about. Is there any part of your life that needs more light? Maybe today would be a good day to shine some light inwards. Here is something even more special to think about - what if you could shine some light outwards towards others? Who do you know that could use some comfort or guidance?
I know from my own life experience that when life gets busy, or crazy, or stressed, our focus can get narrow and we can move through our days powering through and just "getting things done". The interesting thing is that when we allow our light to flow to others, our own energy becomes more positive and we feel alive and uplifted.
So today, I ask again, who do you know that needs more light? Go ahead, think of them, send positive thoughts, and watch a positive shift occur within yourself. Regardless of what is going on in your present moment, opening to the light makes us feel whole and complete!
~I honor you~
Love,

Becoming our Authentic Selves
How to recognize and honor your truth
Have you ever felt that you were moving down a path in your life that just felt "off"? Perhaps in an unsatisfying job? Maybe stuck in a relationship sludge? Battling that unhealthy habit for way too long?
Often there is that flash of recognition, an inner voice trying to impart some wisdom, but it's often ignored by our conscious mind. And then there we are - repeating that self-limiting thought and behavior, over and over again.
Frustrating, right? We KNOW that we are not being true to our authentic voice, but the habitual repetition keeps playing out.
So how can you reclaim your authentic voice and honor your true self?
Be mindful. Listen to your mind, your body and your heart. Meditate, take a walk in nature, journal, sing or dance - especially when you're alone! Take time to just be with yourself. When you are mindful, you allow that beautiful authentic wisdom to shine it's light on you and guide you.
Be courageous. As you begin to listen to YOUR truth, regardless of any old imprinted message, you will empower yourself, embrace who you are at your core, and you will step into your authenticity. There is nothing greater or more joyful!

Becoming Visible
Stepping Out
At times, we've all had the inclination to "hide" and to retreat from others, as well as ourselves. Our fears, insecurities, worries and negative thinking often arise when we are feeling hurt, upset or sometimes, just plain tired.
It's natural and normal.
When we hide, however, we deprive not only ourselves, but the world around us from acknowledging the special uniqueness that is in all of us.
We are meant to be VISIBLE!
We are all deserving and worthy of living our happiest and healthiest life. So if you find yourself "hiding", just observe without judgment, listen to your inner wisdom, and take a step forward. You are worth it!

Sit down in a quiet room, and make yourself relaxed. Close your eyes and take a few deep, relaxing breaths.
