There are times when we remain in a situation long after our energy has begun asking us to leave. We tell ourselves there must be something more to learn, some deeper understanding we have not yet reached, some hidden reason the experience continues to return. We may even interpret repetition as spiritual significance and assume […]

We carry energy into every exchange we have. Whether speaking, texting, writing proposals, or interacting with strangers, it is powerful to remember that each act of communication is supported by our state of consciousness.

One of the things I love best about summer is the ability to savor those moments when I wake in the wee hours of the morning. A moon filled with magic, the constant melody of crickets carried on the warm summer breeze, the dark coming alive to embrace me. Everyone finds their balance in different

There are some mornings when the Divine seems to speak in the smallest of ways, and lately, I’ve been noticing those little messages everywhere. A hummingbird appearing at just the right moment, a dragonfly drifting through my awareness, and, most sweetly, a little bunny who seemed to have her own lesson to share. For the
