I’m a little scared you guys. I am nervous about what is happening to my people. I am shocked at what people, who are normally loving and supportive, are saying.

I was really offended by that phrase when I first heard it. I care, I care about a lot of people, things, and outcomes. Actually, I care too much... until I found the freedom in not caring.

Did you get your pillows out into the middle of the floor, put on your meditation CD and yoga pants and light the candle? If you did, it sounds like a wonderful start to your meditation. If you are like me, you would have thought about the process and shook your head thinking, “I have 45 other things I need to do!” Honestly, I give up before I every get started because traditional meditation does not bring me joy.

They come out of the woodwork this month, all the Halloween Witches that just love October and witchy the trappings that make you feel magical. Kind of like Sunday Christians.

You may have heard about this thing called visualization, where you spend time focused on what you want your ideal outcome to be. If you were a pole-vaulter, you would see yourself sailing above the pole and landing perfectly in the sand.

I bought myself an early birthday present. It has become a sacred icon to my journey of fully awakening my awesomeness. I stepped into the gallery, saw a painting by Naomi Haverland(http://happilyhaverland.blogspot.com/), of an unabashedly, messy and colorful girl and I finally understood.

Cleaning Up the Junk From Bad Ideas (Removing Obstacles)

Power up your intent & find your motivation!

Dream big they say, dream wild, live your dreams and never let them die. But what if they are ruining your life? What if your dreams are completely out of sync with who you are today?
