Let my mind be still and my heart be at peace.

  There is always so much to say, so much to listen to, so much to think about it. But, if we allow ourselves a moment of rest and peace, the answers we need often come without thought. This week’s mantra: Let my mind be still and my heart be at peace. Let my mind […]

Embrace the transition.

  With the 4th of July approaching this week, longer days and warmer air, summer feels like it has finally arrived. As with any other season, there is a sense of transition. My energy is completely different in the summer and as a result my days tend to be a lot different as well. Waking early […]

I Understand.

When moving through moments of stress or when trying to overcome challenging obstacles, we often tell ourselves it could be worse; we should be happy with what we have or where we are; we should be grateful; we should just smile and move on… We hear it in our heads and we hear it from […]

I Will Relax

As we move into a holiday weekend here in the US, I encourage you to stop, be still and chill. It is often a challenge to simply relax. We feel this obligation to fill our time with an endless list of things to do. So, as our first summer holiday weekend approaches, I encourage you […]

I will fill my days with passion.

Although it has been almost 12 years since I left my “real” job, I still clearly remember the sadness and anxiety I would have when I drove to and from work. I was living the life that I “should” be living rather than the life I truly wanted. Back then, I’m not sure it was […]
