Be Authentic

Your authentic self is a gift to everyone and everything around you. The world deserves to see you and hear you. The world deserves to be made better by your presence. But are you being you, authentically? If not, the world is missing out, the world is diminished. Most especially the world that is closest to you; your family, your friends, your immediate community. This week, do this instead: Stand up and be authentic! Listen…

Meditation

This morning I received a wonderful note from a reader wherein the question was put to me, where did I learn meditation and what are the initial steps to meditation? I wrote a blog over a year ago called ‘Meditating‘ but it seemed like a subject worth touching on again. Below is the answer I sent this reader: As far as meditation, I first learned to ‘meditate’ from my Grandmother. She had a very simple…

The Small of It

I had a conversation with a friend yesterday wherein she asked me if I had recently spoken with a mutual friend. I answered, “No, I haven’t seen him online.” As soon as I said that, I realized it was the ‘Small-of-It.’ My response wasn’t a lie, I hadn’t seen him online, but there was something much more important behind my actions than a quirk of opportunity. I hadn’t spoken with our mutual friend in a…

So what is the reason you would want to even look at the future if it’s not created yet and certainly malleable? If it can’t…

What Do You Hold Dear?

Your perception is always filtered through the experiences you hold as dear. What experiences do you hold dear?  Those that make you feel fearful?  Those that bring you pain?  Or, those that take your breath away through the beauty or joy you gain from them? Spend a day looking at the experiences you have that seem heightened in your mind.  Which of your experiences are you still holding in your mind as you lay your…

Crying

Very few people enjoy crying. Most people try to keep from crying at almost any cost! Crying, however, is a very powerful balancing tool. When we cry from need, we open our inner self to purge out feeling of loss, grief, and pain. These emotions or feelings (loss, grief, and pain) need to be released. If not released, these emotions will clog the pipes of the life-force within us. Too much of any of these…
