Dear Life: Do you teach your children how to be present? Our children need daily affirmations. We must teach them how to be mindful and how to examine their emotions. Book your child a mindfulness, social emotional learning session with me. #DearLife #dearlifechat #iteach #mindfulness #emotionalHealing #kidfriendly #meditation #healing #peace #mentalHealth

Dear Life: Why is the root chakra so important? The root or base chakra is your foundation. If it's not balanced then everything else becomes imbalanced. As I walked through this cave underground the illumination of red gathered my attention. I immediately thought I must take a picture to remember. Even when I forget to pay attention, something always happens to make me remember. Is your base chakra imbalanced? • • • Here are some methods to help balance the Root Chakra ● Exercise. Dance. Walk barefoot on the Earth. Have Sex. Movement. Meditate. Grounding practices. Get out in nature. Practice letting go.  Get rid of old junk and things the are no longer useful. Practice gratitude. Recognize abundance in your world. Give and receive healthy touch such as massage. Practice self-reliance. Create safety in your environment. Get a pedicure. Use the color Red: Wear it, eat red foods such as cherries, beets and apples. #dearlifechat #dearLife #basechakra #rootchakra #balance #imbalance #grounding #earth #red #gratitude

Dear Life: How do you create art? Art can be expressed in many forms. One of my favorite ways to express my creativity is through painting. There's something so soothing and calming about painting. I get lost in the canvas and create images of love. Today I brought my art studio outdoors, enjoyed the breeze and the company of nature. I hope you'll take some time out to create today. #dearLife #dearlifechat #art #canvas #create #artist #love #joy #nature #peace #serenity #paint #supportTheArts

Dear Life: Are tacos a favorite in your home? My kids LOVE tacos. I think we eat tacos once a week. For the past year we decided to ditch beef tacos and opted for vegetarian tacos. Instead of beef I use veggie crumbles (swipe left for brand) stuffed in blue corn taco shells. I also added tomatoes and fresh cilantro right out of my garden! And added sides of black beans and rice. How do you do tacos? #dearLife #dearlifechat #tacos #veggies #gardenEats #veggieCrumbles #tacoTuesday #tacoThursday #dinner #lunch #kidfriendly #blogpost #bloglife #blogger

Dear Life: Are you surrounding yourself with royalty and abundance? On @janellemonae new album, #DirtyComputer one of the lyrics to "Crazy, Classic Life" says... "We don't need another ruler, All of my friends are kings". Do you surround yourself with greatness? Why is it that we see "rulers" with followers that are living like peasants. You see it everywhere from your job, the church, organizations, etc. At no time in your life should you settle for the bare minimum. You are royalty. You can live in abundance. Change your mind. Change your life. Be the King and Queen that you are. Take back your throne. Pick up your crown. 👑 Crown made by: @itsakingthing713 of @king_studios_713 #dearLifeChat #dearLife #royalty #abundance #ruler #kings #queens #mindset #mindfulness #dirtyComputer #janelleMonae

Dear Life: How are you celebrating Earth Day? Today Aprill 22nd marks Earth Day!! My suns and I used this weekend to construct my garden for this season. We moved to a new location that afforded me the opportunity to create a new garden space. So exciting! I'm happiest barefoot in the earth and preparing for endless meals. So far we've planted herbs, zucchini, lettuce and peppers. I also have a tomato plant that will yield some yumminess! Stay tuned as this week I'll highlight my favorite herbs and what I use them for.

Dear Life: Do you know what April 4th symbolizes? Today marked the 50th anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. With it being such a historic day and also Spring Break my kids and I took a visit to the Center for Civil and Human Rights in Downtown Atlanta. There is so much history in this museum! There is even a lunch counter sit-in simulator exhibit where you can hear, feel and experience what colored people went through during sit-in demonstrations. So powerful! Visit the Center for Civil and Human Rights on your next stop in Downtown ATL. #DearLife #dearlifechat #civilRights #museum #humanRights #MLK #DowntownAtlanta #Atlanta #Events #thingsToDo #SpringBreak #blogpost #bloglife #blogger (at Center for Civil and Human Rights)

Dear Life: How do you catch your dreams? By speaking to your dreams in present tense! Pictured here is my dream catcher that is used for catching those bad dreams...however I'd like to reference it in a different way. • • Seriously how do you manifest your dreams? 1. Write down what you want. 2. Read it aloud in PRESENT tense. Example: I have so much gratitude for my new home. I am so thankful that I paid this loan off. I am so appreciative of my new wife/husband. I have so much gratitude for the prosperity of my business. You can manifest ANYTHING! Practice your word magic DAILY. Reroute your mindset kings and queens. #dearlife #dearlifechat #dreams #dreamcatcher #mindset #gratitude #thankful #prosperity #manifest #bloglife #blogpost #blogger

Dear Life: What does an ancestors altar look like? If you're on a journey with your ancestors you may have heard "you need an altar". I won't include everything I have on mine but I can give you the basics. Four elements of water, wind, fire and earth. Fire being the candles. The plant can double as both earth and water. Or you can get a seperate glass of water. Wind being the incense stick. Or you could have a fan as well. Also, it's important to have things that belonged to them, pics and even their favorite foods. I cook for mine often and leave food offerings. My children do as well. I also highly suggest getting ancestral money that can be sent to them (through burning) so that all of their needs/wants are being met in their realm. If you have any more specific questions comment below. #dearlife #dearlifechat #ancestors #ancestorsAltar #offerings #spiritWork #love #joy #journey #visions #like #comment #share #repost #blogpost #bloglife #blogger

Dear Life: Can people of all backgrounds and religions study astrology and practice their supernatural gifts? Of course! We are all a part of the same planet. The stars, the moon, the sun and even other planets in rotation affect us ALL. I am sure you learned some of this in school and the information is still relevant! I grew up not knowing much about astrology or anything in the clairvoyant world but as I've studied and learned I wish to share with you all! We all have supernatural gifts. Have you tapped into yours?? • I'd like to highlight @jhust_flow and share all of the wonderful services offered by its founder and CEO @raiysanafiys. Ra'iysa is super knowledgeable about astrology and uses her supernatural gifts to tap into you and to help you unlock all the universe has for you. She is also AMAZING at connecting you to your ancestors! My ancestors LOVE HER! I get my readings from her and the accuracy is ALWAYS 100%. And FYI, no matter your religion, background, orientation do not be afraid...readings are just reading what's already inside of you. Check out @jhust_flow and tell her I sent you her way! #dearLife #dearlifechat #astrology #readings #clairvoyant #ancestors #medium #psychic #healers #lucidDreamers #visions #dreams #purpose #jhustFlow #blogpost #bloglife #blogger

Dear Life: In celebration of Spring Equinox, did you plant your feet in the earth today? Today is Spring Equinox, the official new year. Today represents naturally occurring seasonal cycles whose energies you can tune into as you deepen your spiritual consciousness. It's about connecting your soul in sacred ceremony with Mother Nature, the cosmos and the greater universe as you go through your own life transitions. • • The significance for Spring, is that daylight starts to increase, so the earth is about to tip over to more LIGHT, like an illuminating, sublime reminder that light is returning and always does, to earth. Therefore, the Spring equinox represents new light and life, new beginings, seeds and paths. In fact the spring equinox used to be considered the new year in many parts of Europe until the middle of the 18th century. • • Be one with the earth. Pictured here are my feet "planted", "grounded" as I sip my dandelion tea. #dearlifechat #dearLife #springEquinox #newYear #spring #newLife #plants #grounded #chakra #blogpost #bloglife #blogger
