In many ways this is the new year. Spring, a new start. Astrologically we are back at the beginning with Aries. One of the two days when the day and the night are equal. It is a special time, filled with magic, if we want to tap into it. What we plant now (literally and figuratively) will grow for the next 6 months. it will start as what seems like a small inconsequential thing, but will blossom, bloom, mature, ripen, and become what it was always supposed to be, it’s magnificent self. So I ask you again … what do you want to create, to intend, to draw into your life? Which of your heart’s desires do you want to grow?

As promised, here are some highlights from my Year in Review, although, as suggested in my preamble to the questions, I’m answering what called me this time around.

I invite you into my world, to hear my ups and downs, and to let the hearing of my tale inspire your own exploration.Read More >>>
The Darkest Time of the Year
When I think about Yule, the first thing that comes to mind is “oh dear God it’s the shortest day of the year!” and I have a mini panic attack. But when I come back from that, I’m reminded that this is a high Pagan holiday, and in case you weren’t aware of it, I’m quite the witch. So here’s the thing I love about Yule …
The Legacy of Family Traditions
As we move from American Thanksgiving into December and holiday time, let’s talk about the legacy of family traditions. This is dear to my heart right now because a year ago, this last weekend, I found out that my father only had 3 months left to live. And my first reaction … well actually my second reaction … was to drive hard into the family traditions of Christmas … to make that Christmas special, memorable, sacred, and precious. Not just for my father, because we knew it was his last, but for all of us, because it’s one we will remember forever.
How to Live Your Legacy
There’s a piece where we all think how we should live our legacy is on the big stage, like Marthin Luther King, Jr. and Ghandi. But the reality is, it’s actually how you’re living day to day, the decisions you’re making every day, that lead up to who you’re being in the world, which then rolls up to your legacy.
Lessons From the Ocean
Have you ever just sat and watched the ocean?
Observed the waves rolling in, pondered how far they’ve travelled and how much power they hold?
When we finally stop, and take a moment to be present, to really listen, the world is so abundant.
Gifts and lessons abound. For most of us though, those moments to stop and absorb the beauty of what’s around us are rare. That’s why when we finally do take that step of committing to quieting our minds and just being present, the lessons we can learn are so much more valuable.
Remember back to before I went on my retreat, A Return to Grace, in Mexico. I struggled even with the seemingly simple act of committing to this event. I spent ages weighing all of the pros and cons, but I made the decision to choose self care over anything else. I chose to take the time to be present.
While I sat watching those waves break on the shores and played in them as they crashed, I started embracing the lessons that the ocean was offering to me. I jumped in and rolled around, I frolicked and played, and I danced with the waves. I let them throw me around and I engaged with them FULLY. By choosing to be present I was fully living, and the lessons the water provided me proved the value of that.
Finding Your Stand
What’s the difference you want to make in the world? It’s time you find your stand!
It’s time to get naked!
Time to get naked!
Have you been hiding your naked truth? Well, it’s time to reveal your true self!
#StepIntoGreatness – Create Your Roadmap
Today’s #StepIntoGreatness is about creating your roadmap!
Like with any successful journey, we need to have an idea of how to start moving toward the destination, or in this case the dream! In order for us to recognize the path to our dreams, we need to have clear markers along the way.
YOU are the one who gets to decide what those markers are, and how you want to celebrate achieving them.
I wanted to get this out yesterday, but technical difficulties coupled with challenging travel plans have waylaid my best intentions… so here, for your viewing entertainment (and progress along the journey of stepping into your greatness), is this week’s video – on Wednesday.
#StepIntoGreatness – My Dreaming Response
Yesterday’s #StepIntoGreatness topic is so important and close to my heart that I’ve created a follow up… which is my response, I’m expressing my dream and actually saying it out loud! It feels super vulnerable and scary to be doing this, but I know great things will come from it.
I’m inviting you to join me in expressing your dream. I’d love for you to quickly film yourself talking about your dream and post it to the Facebook Page. If you feel like video is too much, please leave a comment! My goal is to have us all sharing our dreams and encouraging each other along the way.
