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

Sensing energy flow in your home is vital when designing a space. We like to think that arranging our rooms based on our style alone will...

I have the pleasure of being with a partner that takes his time each morning to center his energy before he starts his day. He has taught me through his own example that I have many more choices in life than I ever realized, and most of those decisions start from the moment I open my eyes in the morning. Instead of reacting to my day, I have started implementing the techniques he uses in his own life to orchestrate my day in ways that brings me more joy and makes me more pres

I was sitting in a meeting trying to focus on the presentation when my attention was diverted to the corner of the room by two women...

I was speaking with a woman yesterday who mentioned that when she saw the people that had retired from her workplace, their faces seemed rejuvenated! “It was not just one person,” she emphasized, “but all of them!” I felt that was a whisper from the universe guiding me towards change. I have recently been doing battle with the stressors in my life. My true feelings and the expectations of others are at war. We have all seen people that look almost giddy when they align their

I walked into a high school classroom to assess the energy before I began to formulate a plan to feng shui it. The classroom had a lot of visuals on the walls. Being a foreign language class, that would be both typical and necessary to create the atmosphere needed to keep students in the language. There were posters of historical sites, cute images of animals speaking French, and of course the classroom phrases that all students need to know like “puis-je aller aux toilettes

As we listen to the radio in our cars, we have no problem changing the channel when we do not like the song. We make it a habit to play music we enjoy. I play classical or jazz music when I need to be soothed and love a good rap song when I need to find a little more confidence to face my next challenge. I mindlessly surf the radio for something that reflects my mood, and once I have settled on a song, I sit back, relax and enjoy the ride! There have been a few times that I h

The other day I started to leave my apartment when I remembered that I had an extra set of keys to my door in my purse. I started to take them out and lay them on my tray in the foyer, and I hesitated. At that point I searched my memory for any reason I could think of that would explain why I would need this set of keys. I could think of nothing, but decided to honor my feeling that they should stay in my purse. After a day filled with shopping with my son, we were exhausted

My new prayer or mantra these days is what’s for me . I decided on this phrase because I woke up one day realizing how stressful my life can become when I try to control my world in order to keep myself from experiencing any pain or rejection. When my marriage ended, I made the commitment to myself that I would never again white knuckle my way in a relationship. I will only be in relationship with others that we both want, nurture and protect. So, if being me is a problem for

Power: when you feel like you don’t have it, it becomes your focus. Who likes to feel powerless? There are so many situations in which we...

In France, the price of service in a restaurant is included in the bill and the servers are paid roughly about 15% of your total ticket. If you feel the service was excellent and you want to add a little extra, 5% of your tab can be left on the table. I wish I had had this tidbit of information before I ate my first meal out in town. We had a discussion in class about restaurants, ordering and how the French menu is laid out. What we did not discuss was the well-known fact am

I was riding in the backseat of car headed to a D-Day service in Normandy, France when the road narrowed and serpentined through a...

Watching a bevy of kite surfers today inspired me to contemplate new and exciting adventures to add to my life! I watched the wind lift the surfers out of the water and carry them several feet away, only to drop them into the ocean without a second thought as to how they would recover their balance and catch their next wave! To be open to the adventures of life and the new experiences she offers requires that we keep a few key concepts in mind of how energy builds and support

I recently watched a video of Carolyn Myss discussing how guidance works. She shared how she returned from teaching overseas and walked...

We all have music that inspires us or gives us a time and place to reconcile our feelings around our pain. I am usually transported back...

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

I discovered a disadvantage to belonging to a third-party phone network that was impacting me negatively, so I headed to my nearest Verizon store to remedy the situation. I arrived at ten thirty a.m. and due to unforeseen circumstances by one thirty p.m. I was reaching my breaking point. It was a Friday, and I was racing against the clock to secure a good parking spot in my garage before the influx of people arrived for our town’s long-anticipated wine festival. Defeated, I l

As we were getting ready to find a good breakfast place this morning my partner had a fleeting image in his head of his long underwear. He stepped out onto our patio and decided he only needed a light jacket to stay warm. As we made our way down the tree lined streets towards the restaurant, the grey clouds overtook the sun and the small amount of warmth it was offering. Feeling a chill, he then said to me that he had had an inkling earlier that he should wear more layers and
