These are the choices you face: trust or mistrust. Trusting means you access the Well-Being that is always flowing to you and through you. Mistrusting means ignoring that your Well-Being is there. It means ignoring your inner guidance system.

I didn’t think I could meditate. When I first tried meditation years ago, I held the belief that it would be impossible for me to sit still quietly for more than a couple of minutes.

Bow to your life. Pay homage. Can you? If God said, “Rumi, pay homage to everything that has helped you enter my arms,” there would be not one experience of my life, not one thought, not one feeling, not any act, I would not bow to. – Rumi

Did you know it matters a TON what you focus on? It does!!! What you focus on will GROW.If you focus on what it driving you NUTS, you will feel MORE ornery, more irritated, more frustrated.

Did you know YOU get to pick? You get to choose what you want to focus on. Yup– you do.  Even though there is SO MUCH threatening to make you feel like you HAVE to pay attention to it (like any yucky news story you can think of) — you still get to pick. Louise Hay and Abraham Hicks have been master teachers of this principle and practice.

This is a fairly long (albeit amusing) story about how eventually listening to my intuition helped me. If you struggle with listening to YOUR internal voice, I can help you learn how to tune in and hear what it is telling you and how to more effectively act on your intuition instead of your fear.

Come to the GLO pop-up at FeelPeaceNow this Friday and find out which superfood is my favorite!Join me and Grace Van Berkum, from Gracious Living Oasis (GLO) Wellness Centre in Nicaragua, as she talks about how eating well is a form of self-love and self-care, and how good foods will help you reduce life’s stresses and stabilize your moods. Find out which superfood is my fav (maybe it’s not hard to guess?) and learn why I love Grace, her teachings and her food SO MUCH!!

I have three awesome things to share with you! 1) My new series Conversations that Shape Our Lives premieres this week (I’m guest-writing on NotSalmon.com! SO COOL!) The first installment: Learning to Leave Work at Work (aka “How a cop changed my life 30 years ago” and how what he told me still makes a positive difference in my life today).

When I looked at my schedule for the next 4 weeks, my eyes got BIG! I am only here every-other week! Are you already on my schedule for your summer tune-up? I hope we can meet soon. Here’s when I am available (and when I am not!):

Hello! I wanted to let you all know I am headed to Nicaragua to teach a one week retreat starting on April 4! The retreat has been coming into focus for a long time and it is almost here!! I am very excited! I love teaching psychological and spiritual well-being principles and helping them come alive for others. I love helping people reconnect to their Truth, that they are lovable and love-able. It’s exciting to see people feel peace, love, and joy!  I love my job– and taking the work to Nicaragua is a huge treat!!

I fell in love with this easy tool for positive change in 2007. It was May 2007, but emotionally I felt like it was 1995. I was grieving. You see, back in 1995, my childhood best friend, Susan, died when we were both only 30 years old.

What is True Love? Does it mean “romantic love”? Does it mean “I found my soul mate”? Many of us have ideas about what those words mean, and with Valentine’s day happening this Wednesday, many of us may be thinking about or hoping for romantic love gestures or the possibility of finding our soul mate, of finding true love.

It’s late January (Happy New Year!), and amazingly I feel so excited! There are so many great things in this world, so much that can help us feel better, so many opportunities for us to pay attention to Light and Love and Well-Being — if we CHOOSE. Here are my fav’s this week:

Can you believe it’s almost December? Are you ready for the rest of the holidays? This time of year you can easily get caught up in these busy weeks. So how can you put yourself on your holiday list?

Use EFT Tapping & the Law of Attraction to Manifest What You Really Really Want: More Peace, Love and Joy NOW. Do you know what you want? What you really really want? This isn’t a Spice Girls dream. This is REAL LIFE.

I’m so excited!!I hope you will join me, April 18-23, 2017, at Lynn Whipple’s BIG BOLD BLOOMS WILD PAINTING WORKSHOP at New Smyrna Beach, Florida.  This is going to be an amazing week of mark-making, painting, laughing, learning, drawing, enjoying, friendship building and more.

The holidays are upon us. For many of us, this means hurried last minute shopping and making sure we have menus planned and ready to go. Here’s who I hope you consider this season: YOU.  Include yourself on your list – give yourself these gifts: stillness and peace.
