How to Connect with Your Spirit Guides

There’s a quiet support system available to all of us and it doesn’t require effort, perfection, or special abilities. It only asks for openness and trust. These are our spirit guides. A spirit guide is a loving, non-physical presence whose role is to support and  guide us on our life path. Some people experience guides as ancestors, angels, or energetic teachers.…

The Power of Your Words

The next time you’re tempted to vent or complain, pause for just a moment. Take a breath. The words we speak—especially out loud—carry far more power than we often realize. Our words don’t just communicate thoughts—they carry energy. They shape our experiences. They quietly instruct life on how to respond to us.   Louise Hay, one of my greatest teachers, taught…

How to show your love

Life is a voyage of self-discovery and learning self-love is one of the main steps on that journey. To love ourselves is to know ourselves, but, after we love ourselves, how do we share our love with friends, family, and spouses? Even if we don’t get anything in return, showing our love is like giving a blessing to the people…

The Magic That Happens Outside Your Comfort Zone

Our comfort zones wrap around us like a favorite blanket because there’s a certain coziness in staying where things feel safe and familiar.  And while there’s nothing wrong with comfort, I’ve learned that growth rarely happens when everything stays easy.  The truth is, a comfort zone isn’t comfortable at all; it’s a place that encourages fear, boredom, and stagnation. Our ability…

What Is Intuition (and how can you truly connect with yours)?

When I look back on my life, I see moments when I knew something—without logic, without proof, but with a deep inner certainty. This is intuition: the quiet voice of the soul whispering in your ear even when the world is shouting something else. Intuition is not mystical—it’s part of us. It’s the wisdom of your inner guide, the echo of your…

Embracing Your Inner Child

There’s something magical about watching children play. Their laughter rings out like music, their curiosity knows no bounds, and their ability to live fully in the moment is nothing short of inspiring.  I know this well because I’m blessed with two granddaughters—Elowyn and Kiera. These girls have become my greatest teachers when it comes to remembering the joy of my own…

Raising your vibrations to attract your desires

I’ve come to believe that everything is energy. Every thought we think, every feeling we hold, every word we speak—it’s all sending a message out into the world, like a frequency broadcast from our hearts. And the wild, beautiful part about that energy? It’s magnetic. Have you ever noticed how things seem to fall into place when you’re feeling good?…

Plant based protein

Sixteen Plant-Based Proteins to Power Your Body

When my sweetheart and I shifted toward a plant-based lifestyle, one of the most common questions I got was, “But where do you get your protein?” Usually followed by a look of genuine concern, as though going plant-based meant my protein intake would be eating just nuts. It’s a fair question, though. Protein is essential—it fuels our muscles, supports our…

Girl Meditating

The power of silence  

About a year ago, a new wellness studio opened near my home. They offer mediation, sound bowl, Qigong, and yoga classes—just my kind of place. So, I started filling my calendar with classes. I discovered that Qigong, which I’d never done before, was one of my favorites, as well as Yoga Nidra, a type of meditation.  I was drawn to…

Clearing out the clutter.

The last few weeks I have been cleaning more than usual; my urge to purge is at an all-time high. Perhaps it’s because it’s January.  New beginnings new possibilities, a fresh start if you will. Perhaps you have felt it too. So—Why do we have the urge to spring clean, and is it good for our health?   There are indeed many…
