This is a blog about my adventures and thoughts... Think "Sex and the city" meets "Eat Pray Love."

Bravery and courage. How do we get there?

Bravery, courage and fearlessness. I’ve been thinking about it a lot. How does one become this way? To be brave and courageous?

How do you start your day?

I’ve tried to develop a little routine for myself – things to purposely do in the morning that I know will make me feel calm and together, before I start my day. When I feel like my own needs and wants are attended to, I feel more likely to be productive and efficient in knocking things off the to do list. I feel more motivated and ready to give to the demands of the people and energies around me.

8 things to do in your relationships

There a few things I know for sure, based on my own experience with the relationships in my life. It is these things that I’m going to share with you; perhaps there are a few you may want to look at and incorporate into your relationship life, too. Try it. Or don’t. It’s all good in the hood.I will tell you this, though… I experienced a beautiful blossoming effect once I started consciously making and working at these choices.

New year, new magic

Listen, I totally know we didn’t need a countdown at midnight to create a fresh new start, or to leave the heavy yucky things behind. I totally get that. My tribe, myself, YOU… we are all capable, badass, love warriors who can start over the second we decide to. We don’t need a man-made new year to do it. 
But hear me out…

God, in this moment

Let me share, that the word GOD isn’t one I’ve been particularly comfortable with. Like, at ALL. But I’ve been seeking, as I do. And recently, I’ve been interchanging my go to word the UNIVERSE, with the word GOD. But I haven’t spoken much of that word… just played with it here and there. Never really committing to it.
But this moment… the voice in my head or in my heart… “Can I find God in this?”

Another lesson in compassion: finding old journals and being okay with who I was

It’s only when I actually slow myself down from being sucked back into the past, into the hurt and into that fear based way of living, that I can pause long enough and realize I don’t have to hurt AS that old girl. I don’t have to GO back to those experiences. I can find the lesson and leave the experience….

Beautiful People

Beautiful people are my favourite. They inspire me. I try to be one and I do my best to associate with the likes of them.
So, what does it take to be seen as beautiful? It’s pretty simple if you ask me…

A Spiritual Journey: Who signed me up for this?

I think most of us want growth and expansion in our lives. And when we decide that, it is almost like the Universe begins to conspire on our behalf… adding players and scenes into our days that will aid in our growth and expansion. Our little worlds suddenly become bigger, deeper, richer. And sometimes, more complicated. It’s funny. I beleive when you make the decision that you “want more” out of life, life will give you more. And there is really no way to turn back.
