If you’ve been feeling a little off lately maybe a day of Grounding is deeply needed.

It’s so easy to get caught up in the day to day routine – so why not escape the day? This Sunday is your opportunity to do just that. I found this video posted by our National Parks to be so on point and it made me chuckle,…

The infinite me already contains all the resources I need to navigate through life because I am One with Universal energy. In fact, I AM Universal energy.”- Anita MoorjaniIf you could be…

You've Changed

You’ve Changed

When someone makes a comment to that effect, I am thankful! Let me clarify that I make an ongoing effort to assure that I do change! WE are supposed to change, to evolve, to always better ourselves. I don’t want to be the same person I was last year, last month even last week. I must continue to expand my mind and soul. Even if it displeases others. I am fully into my “project” of…

Take this opportunity to review any growth within yourself from the beginning of this year.…

Before you Replay

Day 11 of “Mindful March” from https://www.actionforhappiness.org/ When someone is speaking, take a full breath before you replay.
