  • We choose Happiness

    One day someone close to me asked how I do it? “Do what?” Be Happy she responded. She knew there was a time in my life when I was not happy. I seemed negative, darker. Great question. The answer is simple. The explanation more lengthy. Happiness is a choice. I realize saying happiness is a…

  • UGH or Joy: we choose

    Feeling all kinds of frustration after what began as a lovely day. Well, okay let me back track. My day began with the alarm going off and my hubs hitting snooze (multiple times).  small bump. While he showered,  I did a morning meditation with Killian and Hunter (dog and cat) loving on me.  Hubs and I joked…

  • Emotionally full-recognizing & releasing

    We feel like a quiet volcano about to spew.  Being full…Full emotionally, mentally, physically. Is it caused by one situation? Sometimes. Is it caused by juggling a number of situations? Sometimes.  Can it be old stuff we’ve held onto? Sometimes. We realize it  when: Things that don’t usually bother us start grating on us Patience is out…

  • Expectations- those suckers affect our lives!

    I always knew I had expectations yet I am continually intrigued with how having these suckers affects my life.  I’ve had expectations in relationships and BOY when those aren’t met have I gotten pissed. Sometimes even ending the relationships.  Acceptance of myself has taught me, expectations can get in the way of seeing someone as who they are.  That…

  • Improving relationships begins with YOU.

      We desire unconditional love & acceptance. We want to know we are safe to be vulnerable and show the real us and still be loved. Yet, we’ve all been in a loving relationship at some point and felt alone or dissatisfied (could be intimate, friend, or family)? The ability to love unconditionally and love…

  • When you set an intention, a goal, a resolution…is it done?

    After my last post about beginning the year with Gusto, I feel compelled to share a  glimpse into one of my shifts in beliefs as I embrace the new year; acknowledging my desire and setting intention. I know so many peeps who begin a new year with newly inspired goals or resolutions.  Do they achieve them? So many resolutions…

  • How to Begin 2015 with Gusto!!

  • Hints for Getting through the Holidays, Choice.

    The holidays bring up so much stuff for so many.  Thanksgiving used to be my least fave holiday.  In my memory someone was always yelling; I hated the food and the memory of this holiday became one of YUCK!  Then Marc (my boyfriend then and now my hubby) said to me “We should make Thanksgiving at…

  • Can I help making room for Fear and Doubt?

    Most days I’m a sunshiny person. I sleep and wake up with a smile on my face, looking forward to embracing the day. Does that mean I don’t have days or moments where I’m unsure, feeling fear or doubt? NOPE. I was looking forward to this week anticipating a lot going on. From teaching new…

  • How do we disagree?

      I live, I love and sometimes I disagree.  My guess is at one time or another we’ve all had a disagreement of some kind with a loved one.  It makes logical sense.  We aren’t the same  person.  We don’t share a brain.  So our views or world experiences can be different causing potential for…
