  • Welcoming the Unwelcome

    This quote came from the book “Welcoming the Unwelcome” by Pema Chodron.

    She shares that we should be thanking that person that is causing us grief! Not to their face, but in our heart.

    Granted, it’s hard to see it when you’re in it!

    That said, is there a part of you, maybe a very small part of you, that might ‘see’ this — if so, then you can open up to it.

    As sad as it was to have my husband leave me, in his doing so, this is allowing me to focus on me, to take care of myself, and become the best version of me.

    Not stand in his shadow but create what I desire. The focus is now on me, stepping into my power, not him and trying to help him.

    And that’s where the focus should ultimately be…

    Until next time ~

    Be Well,

  • The Power of Gratitude

    The Power of Gratitude

    I used to live in a place of negativity, lack and fear. I turned my attitude around when I incorporated gratitude! Doesn’t mean I don’t visit those places at times, but I don’t make them my home.

    How — you might ask? And why would being grateful make a difference?

    To best explain, I came upon a quote from another mentor of mine, Neale Donald Walsch (Conversations with God series).

    Neale shares:

    Gratitude is the miracle cure for every moment of dis-ease. It is the fastest way to dissolve anxiety, to heal disappointment, to replace negativity with positivity. It is the connecting energy to God.

    There is so much to share on gratitude, this is just a little thought with a big impact that I wanted to share today.

    As we move into a NEW year/decade, let’s incorporate moving into a NEW attitude, which is one of gratitude.

    Be Well,
