BYE, BYE PAST TRAUMA AND HURT! HERE COMES THE SUN...
If something really gnarly happens in your life and then you go seek help, in Western society many caretakers will tell you that you had some kind of “trauma”. And then boom, once you hear that, most people identify with it and then, in some cases, that trauma becomes their identity, not just an event that happened in their life. Let us review the definition of trauma from the good ole Merriam...

Wake Up Call... Again!!!
For months it seems like I’ve been begging the universe for more time, more energy, more space, more freedom… so on and so on. I remember telling my wonderful boyfriend, (who always tells me to relax and enjoy everything, to not worry, to let go, and whose advice I need to take more of), that the next time I would allow myself time to “do nothing” was when I literally could...

It's All a Matter of Perception
“Most people don’t live aware lives. They live mechanical lives, mechanical thoughts- generally somebody else’s- mechanical emotions, mechanical actions, mechanical reactions.” -Anthony de Mello, Awareness
Our external circumstances are a direct reflection of how we view ourselves. First understand what the external circumstance is trying to teach you. Then begin to...

The Value of Change!
Um… read this at JUST the right moment in my life!
Here’s a no-brainer: If something isn’t working, and it doesn’t look like it is going to improve, change it.
Sometimes emotions make us say, “If I stop this, it means I failed,” preventing us from moving on in our evolutionary paths. But that’s an outdated concept. Change doesn’t mean failure. It’s OK to change – change your mind,...

To Live is to Grow
I really have been on a spiritual bootcamp recently!
I’m attending Mastin Kipp’s Love Uni-versity, am using Brian Johnson’s “Philosopher’s Notes”, am part of Deepak Chopra’s mediation challenge, am reading a book on personal power through awareness given to me by a friend, and have found that I keep on attracting like minded people who can give me their...

How Can I Love Myself No Matter What?
Wow…this came up in a big way for me tonight. My dear friend and fellow TDL blogger Chris Assad has been in town for the past few days. He inspired me to do a vlog when he posted his about a month ago. I asked him if he would help me do one. That is the last thing I wanted to do. It honestly scares the crap out of me. Being seen, actually seen by people is a huge fear for me. I hoped that if...

It is so true… “You are the company you keep”. This is true even of the jobs you decide to take and the “mentalities” of the coworkers you surround yourself with. In ANY situation, this quote is true!! So, surround yourself with like company… AND remember, there is much power in CHOOSING which opportunities are right for YOU and your happiness!!!
A good friend recently forwarded this message to me…Read it, it will make your day! <333

Life Lessons
Life has been quite the journey thus far. I’ve recently had the amazing opportunity and continue to have the opportunity to learn from some truly wonderful people. I’ve been learning that challenges often present us with great opportunity. At the age of 23, I’ve seemingly lost all sense of identity and purpose. I don’t know who I am. There is something that is quite terrifying when all of...

The Confines of Time
I often find myself saying things like… “I would enjoy myself more if I had more time.” Or, “I would take more time for myself if I had more time.” Or, “There’s just not enough time in the day to do everything.”
The problem is that we, (myself included), are so confined by the concept of time.
We fail to totally let go and enjoy ourselves in the...

Valentine's Day Love
This Valentine’s Day, take a minute to ask yourself if you give YOURSELF enough love.
Do you always feel drained, on the brink of an emotional breakdown, and always snap at your loved ones?
Then you might not be giving ENOUGH love to yourself!
You may not be making enough TIME for yourself!
Trust me, I’m learning this right now myself!
Remember, the best way to love others is to...
