Post 36: You are worthy exactly as you are as God created you!

Growing up with a perfectionist Mom, well, makes you a bit of a perfectionist. It has taken many years to let go of a few aggravating behaviors that I picked up, but I have learned a lot in the process. My mother and my older sister are both list-writers so I naturally became one too at an early age. At some point I found myself listing things just so that I could feel the excitement as I checked off another to-do. I mean, do I really need to remind myself to...

Post 35: The importance of expressing our creativity!

I was reading Dr. Christiane Northrup’s excellent book, Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom when I came across this profound passage that will really hit home for all of you creative people, which is EVERY SINGLE PERSON reading this—yes, we are ALL creative beings! Dr. Northrup is talking about a woman having a baby (the epitome of the female creative ability) when she says, “And once the child is born, she must acknowledge that her creation has and always will have a life and personality of its own, even though it was created from...

Post 34: Great ego expectations can lead to stagnation

The Bhagavad Gita says the following: “But even the most praiseworthy acts should be done with complete non attachment and with no concern for results”. When we can let go of our ego expectations of what will come of our actions, 2 things happen: 1. We free ourselves up for actually following our intuition (drawn to do things by Spirit rather than driven to do things by the ego). 2. We let go of the ego emotions (fear and anxiety) which sometimes leads to no action at all (stagnation) or the subsequent ego...

Post 33: Take the first step in spiritual awakening.

“Take the first step in faith, you don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.” Martin Luther King, Jr. (www.brainyquote.com 2001) Take a moment to contemplate what this means to you. For me, this means that when we are called to do something in life, we take that first step with complete faith and trust in that intuition, that inner guidance that is urging us forward. Oprah calls them the “whispers” in life that are constantly calling to us and guiding us. When we learn to fully trust...

Post 32: What our anger is trying to tell us.

  Quick to anger like a red-head? Read this post to slow your roll! Dr. Christiane Northrup says in her book Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom: “Anger is energy—our personal jet fuel. It is telling us that something needs adjustment in our lives. It is telling us that there is something we want that we don’t know we want.” She goes on to say, “This emotion is dangerous only if we deny it and stuff it in our bodies. Anger and all other ‘negative’ emotions can serve us well when we don’t turn them...

Post 31: Do not confuse Holy Spirit with elf on a shelf!

Some people assume Holy Spirit is some ghost supernatural thing that may be watching our every move…does elf on a shelf come to mind for anybody?! (Love that little guy! Ours is named Elfy!) But seriously, let’s get it straight. Holy Spirit is another term for OUR higher self. Notice the same initials? Holy Spirit is an aspect of our collective Spirit that remembers this connection, this union, with each other and with God for us. It is not watching to see if we have been naughty or nice. It is ever...

Post 29: Keep your ego in check this holiday season!

Start small. Start by not gossiping about someone. Start by not judging someone. Start by holding back those thoughts that may arise tearing another person apart in your head. Commit to looking past the seemingly “bad” in another person to the radiant light within that person, and notice the difficulty in doing this as the ego wants to simply judge and blame and hate. Give the gift of seeing someone in their truest nature as Spirit…give the gift of unconditional love, love with absolutely NO conditions. Challenge yourself to live as Jesus...

Post 28: Jesus could be just one bad day away…you only have to be open to his presence.

I love when a 3-minute conversation with my 5 year old daughter brings me back to a state of awakening. I was asked on the car ride home last night by my little girl if I knew that Jesus died for us on purpose. I have my own take on this, so as I was explaining how Jesus showed us through his torturous death that if he can forgive the people nailing him to the cross then we should be able to forgive anyone for anything, suddenly and without warning...

Post 27: Undo the ego and stop life from ankle-biting the hell out of you!

Is life ankle biting the hell out of you?  Great! What I have found having two tiny pups in the house is that ankle biting is bittersweet.  Sure, it aggravates the hell out of you, but that’s just it!  It potentially takes the hell out of you. Life brings up fears that we need to heal in life.  So all of these little ego aggravations are actually opportunities to really look at what is going on and let some stuff go. If you are dancing the two step trying to get out...
