Have you spoiled your pet with love, or if you’re not a pet owner, ever wondered why humans seem to spoil their pets?  Who trains whom? Pets model living mindfully present in the moment.   They help us examine what motivates us and what our habits are, and teach us about innate personality.  They’re guides for managing expectations, and ownership of our own behavior.  And most naturally and authen...

Have you ever been on the giving or receiving end of kindness? When you really think about it, they were intentional, not random acts! Good is everywhere, and we can choose to be kind.

Have you ever felt an emotion like anger, and then felt guilty about it? It's okay to be angry! An emotion, like anger, in and of itself isn't bad.

Whether it's by what you do or what you say, make the choice to express yourself for y...

Have you ever been in an imbalanced friendship? More giving and the other taking? Rather than feeling you need to prove or earn your value, listen to your inner GPS, and don't go by their voices and measures of your worth to them.  What they think of you does not matter more than what you think of yourself.  Weed the garden and flourish amongst those who love you, not for what you can do for...

Do you set resolutions for the new year, but soon abandon them? Consider being objective-driven rather than goal-oriented, to set yourself in the right direction.  An objective is about limitless opportunity and possibility, whereas a goal is finite and concrete, as if a zero-sum game. An objective is a beacon beyond you that is calling you, and goals are the microscopic steps aiming forward. Miss...

Miracles can be in the ability to find the Divin...

Let your soul reverberate and resound at the highest frequency and ring true with your best, mos...

Have you ever felt pressure to give the Perfect Gift? Or thought a gift you received was lacking? But there are Gifts in everything, all around us.  The value of a gift is not about “the thing” It’s about the thought and intent from the giver.  The price paid for a gift isn’t always monetary, but instead could  be time, talent or sincere thought.   From baguettes to body wash, it’s not the physica...

Have you ever made yourself small to make someone else comfortable? Or muted your voice, prioritizing someone else’s reaction over your sense of self? Being different isnt something to be hidden! We’re all unique but not “less than”.  Rather than avoiding messy conversations, we can have the courage to be true to one’s self, and also be the one who affirms who others are, being the one to shut up...

There are differences between fate and destiny, or a wish and a dream!  Don’t squash your voice- Be wide awake and alert and willing to be all in, taking the no’s and the knocks. Then, with clarity of intention, apply the goals, apply the work, and invest in yourself! Discern when the idealized dream is actually a ni...
