Are you a good gift … receiver? My school has this program that gives students “high fives.” These are at a boys and girls teachers send to kids to acknowledge any area of their growth and success. I took advantage of sending a few fivers a month ago to a student in French one that started to emerge as a leader in the classroom. Instead of being the last kid to know how to complete an assignment (his usual) he became the one offering an explanation to a fellow camarade de cl

I was a bit naive in High School. I am one of four girls, number three to be exact. Threes do not need to be street smart; ones take care of that. Twos navigate the world by creating balance in a family that was used to devoting all of their time and energy to the first born. Twos introduce sharing and feedback to the eldest child. Twos soften our edges and help us blend with the world. I always felt a bit out of sync with other girls in high school. When we would gather in t

We have all told little white lies at some point in our lives, feeling like we had no alternative. We found ourselves face to face with people that play an important role in our lives and our “truth” was nowhere near the surface. Are these half-truths, exaggerations, harmless untruths, or partial truths damaging? Our voice is our most powerful communicator in the physical world. It has a unique vibration, and it sends a signal to others that vibrates in their frequency. The

We have the potential for growth with every person that crosses our path. Those people that actually make it past our barriers and into our inner circle are the ones we choose to learn with in this lifetime. What we grasp and internalize is up to both parties but make no mistake about it… from a soul perspective, these encounters are our destiny. What is a soul contract? This agreement between two souls is inked before we incarnate into this lifetime. These agreements are typ

L ima O scar V ictor E cho In my experience with learning universal laws, these concepts are introduced in some way such as through books, conversations, my articles , etc. and then integrated by us through our daily exchanges with others in order to gain a broader perspective. One topic that is challenging for empaths is the notion of true love. We believe are doing everything we can think of to show others that we care about them only to find that we are not always receiv

As Dr. Wayne Dyer alluded to in his book Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life , I was “sick of my sickness.” In the past 2 years I have experienced personal losses that came as a shock. In a plea to my team of guides to receive help in detaching from the pain of rejection and failure I stumbled onto Jan Spiller’s book “ Cosmic Love .” While it does not reveal the secrets of the universe, her wisdom does shed light on what the gifts of each of those relationships were and

Wounding one another is part of a process of healing. It sounds ludicrous I know, but it is one of the most powerful ways we humans have of getting our own attention. When we are hurt by another, we open the guarded parts of our heart and mind and allow ourselves to feel the pain that we’ve carefully locked away until this very moment. It is in this moment that the universal forces have aligned, and we are now spiritually prepared to face and let go of that pain. The perceive

We are all familiar with the expression “so and so is the black sheep of the family.” According to Merriam-webster’s definition; it is a disfavored or disreputable member of a group. We all have someone we can point to that upsets the applecart of our family. These people can’t seem to do life the way we do it, think like we do, or even relate to one another the way that we do. It’s almost as if they are from another world sent here to challenge the very core our belief syst

I believe that when we have an interaction with another person there is a little bit for you and a little bit for me in terms of an...

The movie "Saturday Night Fever" opens with John Travolta strutting confidently down the street. His arms move in rhythm to the beat as he puffs his chest out and looks around his city. He owns it, and he doesn’t care who knows it. Watching that scene begs the question “confidence — is it demonstrated and then felt, or felt and then demonstrated?” Life goin’ nowhere, somebody help me… We went to see the band The String Cheese Incident over the weekend. They played at an outd

When I was younger, I remember my mother saying that sometimes she and my father could be having a fight that felt so big to her right before he was supposed to leave for a trip, and he could totally put it out of his mind and go fly a plane. As an airline pilot, and a captain no less, he was able to shift from family life to work life on a dime. As women we have all heard that men have the unique ability to compartmentalize their lives. In fact, I would argue that both men a

Today’s article is brought to by the letter “V” and the number 14…. I want to drink your blood! Say this again with a Bela Lugosi accent from the movie Dracula and you can really feel the vampire vibration. We all have experience with this guy or gal in our life. We call her the energy vampire because she sucks the life right out of us. We are literally exhausted after an exchange with her. You might be nodding your head and wondering what is this all about? The Universal Law

“…every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings.” - ZuZu Bailey “It’s a wonderful life” Last week I introduced the Law of Attraction via the average Joe to demonstrate how we can attract scarcity into our lives when we really “think” we are relating to money from an abundant standpoint. This week I would like to use the average Jane to examine yet another “hot” topic we are all eager to explore...relationships. Again, we must bear in mind that the Law of Attraction states

“When they go low, we go high”-Michelle Obama Protecting the heart is something I think we all do, perhaps more than we realize. We think that if we are careful and are not vulnerable, we will avoid pain. My guidance suggests that this thinkin’ is back asswards (pardon my French). The risk involved in opening the heart is where the spirit most yearns to go. Any pain that comes through this journey is part of the expansion process. How do we know what or who we love if we
