WE'RE NOT GOING BACK

Ever see other women achieving amazing things in life, and you don’t think you can do the same? Why not?  Why not you, and why not right now? If your most impossible, secret dream even, could come true, what would it be? It doesn’t cost anything to dream… So, what’s your most amazing dream that you wish could come true for you? It can be anything you desire, maybe even seemingly impossible! M...

Today we’re talking about the power of making choices in life… past, present, and future! Understanding the freedom we have to make our own choices, and also acknowledging that we have made our own choices in the past, is very powerful. Too often we tend to tell ourselves that bad or unfortunate things just happened to us, when in fact it was a result of the choices we made, even when we don’t lik...

The only final “destination” of our human experience is when we leave this life behind. Otherwise it’s always just a most amazing JOURNEY! Stop often and take in all the small things and don’t just wait for the “whens” in life. Plan for the future as if it's already here… because if we do that, it already IS.

In this episode we explore what happens when we are broken in Spirit, forgetting our worth, forgetting our value to our family and to society as a whole – a true travesty. For too long women have been oppressed, without a voice, and the chains that hold us are similar to an undertow not visible on the surface, but keep pulling us under. The centuries’-old undertow reaches deep and wide and has dee...

Tune in this week and let’s ponder the idea that, just maybe, everything does happens for a reason… FOR us, not TO us. Ever thought of that… especially long after something you went through in life that you thought was devastating at first, only to later see it was meant to be? Could be a life-altering observation.

Unless we’re in prison (and even then), or someone is holding us hostage at gunpoint… we are able to make our own choices from the moment we wake up until the moment we go back to bed. Each day, in fact, is a fresh new start. Maybe you can’t change your destination overnight (your "now"), but you can change the direction overnight… you can change the trajectory! We have endless resources at our di...

How much of your current life do you acknowledge having created yourself? Too often we dream of an “ideal” life for ourselves… but doubt we could make that happen. We see others living a life we desire, but down deep we don’t really believe it’s for possible for us. Why not?? Who said we (all of us) can’t live a life we truly desire? We keep going to a job (or two) we don't like (don't like the ho...

Benefits of failing… improvement, confidence, more knowledge, less afraid of failing at something we want to do! Failing in school is considered bad… why? Failing in sports is not great either, but does it make us a better player in the long run?  You bet! How many times did all the greats fail? In fact, in order to BECOME great at anything, we have to have failed ENOUGH!! So why do we look d...

Am sharing today's episode in an effort to save you and your pet the awfulness I'm now experiencing over losing our beloved rooster, Mars. Our grandkids named him.  He was as majestic and brave as can be. Right now it feels like I'll never stop crying over the image of how he died. I'm sharing this experience in hopes to help prevent that from happening to someone else. Had I known this, I wo...

You are a manifester. We are all manifesters… Everything we see around us that’s man-made, it was first created as a vision in someone’s mind, which they then manifested into physical reality. You manifested your current life, just as I’ve manifested mine. Which not long ago, I did not fully know. Think of what you have created in your life… a lot of it perhaps not intentionally or with a full und...

When we’re complaining, we’re in negative energy, attracting even more negative energy. Have you ever had these thoughts, or heard anyone else say them?... • My life sucks • I hate my life • I hate my body • My family is awful, they’re all dysfunctional • No one in my family supports me or loves • Everyone hates me • I never catch a break • I have bad luck • People always take advantage of me • I’...

Doing things how they've always been, not stepping outside the box, or coloring inside the lines, has gotten us to where we are today. To change that, if we want to, we need to go color outside the traditional lines of doing life.  We have to ignore the teachings and norms we’ve been following… IF we desire change. What do you think of when you here things like:  “Minimum wage, working h...

Shout Out to my dear friend, Sandy Hayden! Sandy is a wonderful example of the Women Supporting Women concept!! She’s never afraid that another woman’s success will diminish hers, or that supporting other women will in some way take away from what’s meant for her. Sandy, thank you for supporting me in whatever I do!  It means the world to me, and I hope you know that you also have my support...

Shout out to: Ann Parry… you have made such a huge difference in my life, and I want you to know that. Thank you for being an example of how to treat other women in the workplace. Today my life is better because of you. You believed in me, you treated me with kindness, and you uplifted me. You were an example of not just how to treat other women, but also of how to be a woman who believes in herse...

You ever wonder what it would be like if all your dreams came true? Like actually thinking in detail, all the things you would like to change, but then did nothing about it? I was listening to Jim Rohn’s Ultimate Library on Audible (yet again for like the 4th time!)… and he talks about taking action while the dream is alive and vivid in our minds, lest we forget! I’ve always been a big dreamer, an...

Is all suffering necessary, or do we suffer unnecessarily at times, and for too long? Good question, right? When we think for too long about something that brings us unhappiness, we prolong our suffering.  Ever thought of that? One of the things to be aware of is our thoughts or judgement, of our surroundings and/or circumstances, past or present. Most often (always, really!), our thinking about a...

When does a plant bloom? And what does it mean to “bloom?”  Do we bloom, like a plant out in nature? A plant blooms when it receives all the necessary nutrients, and when it is in the right, or good enough, environment. So of course, like plants, we also bloom… that’s our nature. But not all conditions produce the same quality of flowers. The same is true for humans. We are a lot like plants…...

We don’t react to events , we react to our judgment of them… and the judgement is up to us. When we change our thoughts , everything “changes” for us! It’s almost always not what people say, do, or when or how they do it.  It’s OUR interpretation that matters! This is great news because it means we can improve OUR state of being, at any time. What a freakin’ relief! No more “they should/shoul...

Perception is the interpreting of something… like how we interpret a particular external circumstance. What reality is your perception or interpretation of things creating for you in your life? If there’s something in your life you’re not particularly pleased with, I invite you to examine your thoughts about it, in detail. What is your reality of that circumstance? Too often it’s our perception, o...

Ever sat in indecision before, agonizing as to what action to take, and afraid of making the “wrong” choice?? Sometimes in life we will make choices we’ll end up not liking, but that’s better than staying stuck in an unwanted situation because we can’t decide, and never knowing what could've been. At least in my life whenever I’ve made a choice, it was either a good choice or I learned from it as...

Have you ever held back tears or anger in your life? I know I have, but eventually it's better for our emotional and physical health to let them flow through, so eventually they can move past, and in the process heal us long-term, both mentally and physically. When we hold emotions inside, they have so much power, even if we don't know it. Even the power to make us physically sick years later. Bec...

Who is your hero, if you have one, and why? Have you ever thought of yourself as the hero of your own life? I know I haven't, but I'm now suggesting we become the hero of our own lives. That's right, and here's why...  there isn't a hero out there who's coming to our rescue any time soon. And if there was, say a knight in shining armor... we would still have to prepare ourselves to not j...

Have you ever Beaten the Odds at something in life? YES, YOU HAVE! The fact that you are here, having this human experience, is absolute proof that you have in fact beaten the odds... at being born! And in fact, that's the most important odd to beat thus far... and you DID IT!  You are here. Today we're exploring Beating the Odds at this human thing we call “life”... life experiences, accompl...

What fires are you feeding in your life?   Are they burning you, and others, or keeping you warm and cozy? Let's talk about how our thoughts are like logs we add to a fire, when it comes to situations in our lives... be it our relationships with our kids, parents, siblings, in-laws, co-workers, living situation, etc.  The fires we feed have an effect not just us personally, but also on o...

Are you living your life on purpose, or by default? Sometimes there are things in our lives, that we do not like... we complain about them a lot, but do nothing about changing them. If there is something in your life that you do not like? Picture your life at the end of this year, or maybe even 5 years!  Will anything be different? If we do nothing about what we don't like, other than complai...
