Holding the Space in Love for a Miracle
“Where love is present, there are always miracles.” Dr. Debra Reble On a typical gray winter day in Cleveland, I sat on the edge of the examining table in my oncologist’s office, gazing out the window and trying to soothe the terror that was rising within me. It was just yesterday that I was planning our spring vacation to New York City, driving my daughter to middle school, and sending care packages to my son at college. It was just last week that I committed to finishing my first book. It was just six years ago that I left an unhealthy marriage, met the love of my life, and married him in a romantic ceremony in Florence, … [Read more...]
Take Your Power Back by Choosing to Respond
Our lives are made of up of a series of choices everyday----whether or not we get out of bed, what we eat during the day, how we spend our time, whether to continue with a relationship, or what we do for a career. Each and every choice we make brings us closer to our dreams or away from them. Such choices either align with our soul’s path or not. Yet, the most important choice we can make every day is to respond rather than react to whatever comes into our lives. How many times have you said to yourself? “I don’t have a choice.” For example, you may feel you can’t decline a family invitation, say no to a friend, or tell your boss you’re … [Read more...]
5 Ways to Elevate Your Resolutions to Soul Intentions
Resolutions attract a fixed, limited, and lower vibrational energy because they originate from your brain. Instead of being gentle guides, they are dictates for what you "should” change, do, or accomplish. Resolutions come from a negative belief that there’s something wrong with you that needs to be fixed. “Soul”utions, on the other hand, are intentions that start with your innate divinity and elevate it to a higher, more evolved soul level. They are completely aligned with your soul’s path. These intentions originate from your heart and soul blueprint. They are divinely downloaded and stem from a divine energy that knows there’s nothing … [Read more...]

A Reflection Practice for the Winter Solstice
For millennia, winter solstice celebrations have heralded the return of the light and are a time of quiet reflection and intention. In many Native American cultures, tribes and families would gather to start up a new year at the solstice and have a special celebration where they would make a request to the Great Spirit to eliminate certain things that they no longer wanted in their lives. As a way of representing this, they would craft six arrows: three to represent the things they did not want and three for the things they did want. They called them “death” arrows and “life” arrows because they held respectfully, the things they wanted … [Read more...]
5 Supportive Ways to Regain Balance in Your Life
Balance doesn’t come from making every aspect of your life equal like two sides to a scale. It starts by prioritizing the aspects of your life that matter most, what you hold dear, and what’s non-negotiable to your soul. It’s means putting your time, effort, and energies into what makes your being come alive and your heart sing with joy. Most of all, it’s being true to your heart and soul…your core values or soul elements. When you are out of alignment with your soul truth, you can feel off center, ungrounded, and question who you are and what you really want. If you find yourself defining your worth by your job, achievements, or what … [Read more...]

Disconnecting from ourselves or others early in life is often prompted by feelings of shame. In her research, author, Brené Brown identifies shame as the “intensely painful feeling or experience of believing that we are flawed and, therefore, unworthy of love and belonging.” Throughout our lives, we absorb shame messages, such as, “I’m unlovable, I’m not good enough, or I’m unworthy of love.” Wearing this cloak of shame keeps us from loving who we are and being connected with ourselves and others. In my case, the shame-based core belief, “I’m unworthy of love” took root after my mother abandoned me when I was eight years old. For twenty … [Read more...]
