Have you ever had a bad feeling about something, and your “bad feeling” came true? Or perhaps you had a “good feeling” that came true? Ever hear a voice in your mind that tells you something that saves your life? (This has happened to me 3 times, not that I am counting.) Ever “see” something in […]
I wasn’t really looking, and yet, five years ago, an email promoting an unusual workshop found its way to me and piqued my interest. The event was in another state and more money than I had at the time. However, the new workshop idea sparked my curiosity and I reached out to another relative. “There’s […]
Energy is everywhere, connecting everything. It flows through nature and people. We recognize energy through sensations, emotions, and cues from our environment. A warm embrace, a beautiful sunset, or a melody can all emanate positive energy, lifting our spirits and resonating deeply within us. Negative energy can be felt and stressful situations, conflict, or spaces […]
Have you ever used glitter? It gets everywhere! Weeks later, you’re still finding it all over the room where you used it, even after vacuuming three times.

We all watch television. Some more than others of course, but at some point, we all do. That means that we also watch the commercials! While it’s possible to fast forward through them in a recording, eventually you’ll have to sit through a set of them. As we stare at the screen, we’re bombarded by […]
Watching two families on the beach, each with young children who obviously had never been there before, I enjoyed observing the kids different approaches to the same beach, same shore, same waves. One family’s child raced to the waves, running and jumping as she plowed into the water. Unaware of any possible danger, she surged […]
In the garden of life, you deserve to blossom fully. Just as plants need nurturing, we must allow ourselves to grow and change. Embrace the transformation, and grow into what you were meant to be. In the same way that we protect tender shoots from being trampled, don’t allow others to cut you down. Recognize […]
