Only you are responsible for your happiness

If your joy this holiday season is reliant on anything or anyone outside of your control, you’re setting yourself up for failure and misery. What – or whom – does this include? Everything and everyone, except you. Your happiness is an inside job. It comes from within. This is true all

Action over words

“Talk is cheap.” Action is where it’s at. What we do speaks volumes. Who we be is even louder. Be sure that your actions are aligned with the words that are coming out of your mouth. Be honest with yourself. Be authentic.

Soaking it all in

Today is a pretty special day. Not only are we amongst the Holy-days, but today is the Winter Solstice and “The  Great Conjunction” of Jupiter and Saturn – a rare planetary alignment which hasn’t happened 800 years! So needless to say, there’s a lot of good energy to take

It's all within

Habitually we look outside of ourselves – for the answers, for our happiness, for our connection “to” God, for Love, for purpose and meaning. But the truth is, everything you need is within. Not necessarily from a physical-material aspect (although that’s likely true too), but from a spiritual aspect. You

Believe

Believe in yourself. Believe in new beginnings. Believe in what’s possible. Believe in what seems impossible. Believe in the goodness of others. Believe in your Faith. Believe in Love. Just believe.

Not good enough

It’s been an underlying pattern that exists in my life, that I’m not good enough – or what I’m doing isn’t good enough. It’s a pattern that truly does not serve me and has caused a lot of pain. It’s crazy to think about the

Don't pick up the bag

Easier said than done, but just don’t pick up the bag. Other people’s “stuff” is exactly that. Their stuff. It’s theirs to carry – or not – and theirs to process through. When we stop taking on other people’s stuff and making things all about us – or taking

Shifting away from stuff

It’s so easy for things to get out of hand over the holidays. To lose touch of the actual meaning and focus on the material instead of the spiritual essence of these times. It’s easy to get caught up in trying to fill someone’s needs, to try

When is enough, enough?

There are pains in life, that for whatever reason we just tolerate. They hurt – but not enough to put you into action. Enough for you to complain about – to have on your vent list – but not painful enough for you to actually do something about. I’m guilty of this

Surrender to nature

Getting out in nature everyday – ideally on the trail by the river, is my happy place. Mother Nature – whom I call Mamma – holds me everyday, takes away my “problems” and showers me in love; she’s supportive, she’s nurturing, she’s unconditionally loving; she teaches me with every step,

Are we smarter than frogs?

There’s a lot of crazy stuff going on in the world right now and many people have stopped thinking for themselves, stopped questioning things that don’t make sense and are handing over their freedoms – willingly. Many people are not looking at the bigger picture and are not looking

Sleep on things

Too often people reply without thought or speak without thinking – they react instead of respond. It’s so easy to do. You get caught up in the moment, your emotions get the best of you – and then likely you’ll say something that you’ll regret later. Hence sleeping on

More like this

I’ve had several experiences over the past couple of days that have elicited very different feelings from me. Half were interactions that triggered a lot of negative-type feelings and left me drained, and the other half left me feeling refreshed, appreciated and high energy. There’s the obvious – and

Release attachment to the outcome

A very empowered place to live is to be unattached from the outcome. It doesn’t mean that you don’t care – but you’re not allowing external circumstances to dictate your internal reality. You’re open to what is – to this or something better – to however things unfold, whether

Look for the good

There are people in my life who unfortunately I’ve let really trigger me. They are my greatest gifts. They show me where I still have work to do. They are the ones, who I believe, “put up their hands” and were willing to help me to awaken and to

It's the little things

I was reminded today about the power of the little things – small decisions, seemingly insignificant actions or inactions. Left unchecked, decisions that move you away from your goals can quickly turn into negative habits that will overtake your life. It’s just one more piece of chocolate, I’m only

You are exactly where you're supposed to be

You’re in the family that’s perfect for you. The relationship that’s perfect for you. The job that’s perfect for you. The home that’s perfect for you. You have the friends that are perfect for you. Even your financial and health situations are perfect for you.

Take the time to understand

In our “fast paced” world, it can sometimes be very easy to quickly brush over things and really not take the time to fully understand the meaning behind someone’s text or post or comment, whether online or in person. No wonder there are so many misunderstandings. Whatever happened to

Practicing the future

As I get clear on my goals I’m going through the process of visualizing them; really feeling them, seeing them happening and being in the picture – experiencing my visions. For whatever reason, this does not come naturally to me, but I keep at it and refine the process. At

Re-evaluate your goals

One thing I’m really excited about right now is realizing that I’m not excited about my current goals. Why is that a good thing?! If your goals aren’t lighting you up, then they’re not inspiring and motivating you to do what you need to do to

Completing cycles

Having “incompletes” lingering around in the back of your mind is taking up valuable mental space and is like having a leak in your bucket – it’s not helpful and very inefficient. Completing those projects or commitments can feel like a huge weight has been lifted off of your shoulders

Treat people the way you want to be treated

There is such beauty in the simplicity of the golden rule. I think it’s truly one of the best rules to live by. What would your life be like if you actually treated people the way you thought they should treat you? If you knew that people followed this

The sweetest sounds

My heart just melts when I hear my dughter, Taylor sing (especially now as she belts out Christmas songs) or when I hear my son, Josh laughing. They’re endearing and infectious. They’re sounds that make me pause for a moment and appreciate the preciousness of their existence. Sounds

Rain or shine

I’m not controlled by weather – I embrace it. For the past 635 days, without fail, I have walked for at least 45 min – typically an hour or more – many days 2 1/2 hrs and even barefoot. Walking is my non-negotiable. Day or night. Rain or shine. Hot or

Your teacher's teachers

We all start somewhere, we all have teachers who got us to where we are today and many more will cross our paths in the years to come. In the area of personal development, two classic voices and authors were Jim Rohn and Zig Ziglar. Both happened to be one
