"Sometimes it looks like we have lost a debate, a position or a disagreement. When we put our heart, our thoughts, our views, our wisdom, our expertise and our credibility on the table of discussion we are moving the energy. The most important aspect of relationship and community is having a voice. When one or more people gather in a mindful connection with the heart, a new world is created from this truth. We may not physically see it, but a shift has been made energetically and awareness strengthens. Release any self-doubt that fear may encourage. Let go of any negative feelings. You have won the battle in your heart when you stand up with committment and peace. Have faith that you have made a difference! Silence is acceptance, you couldn't be silent any longer. Healthy communication is the key to unlock any prison of the mind, body or spirit.
Courage is rewarded. You will see change. The heavens applaud while we celebrate you!!!"

"We all desire connection. If someone is in reaction or drama they are
feeling disconnected.. Can we connect to our own heart and hold the space for them?

When we are in connection ourself, we can be the reminder or the inspiration.

Live connected inside with your heart, your emotions, your feelings, your soul, the dark and the light, the love and the peace.

This connection is up to us.
Make the choice and connect."

"We all have free will and opportunities each day to make a choice for our soul's happiness. When the projects become overwhelming, and the pressure of not enough time spins you around or if you feel lonely and depressed because you can't find happiness or joy in your life, breathe into this very moment and be fully here right now.

Say to yourself "I am here and this is what I am feeling" . Breathe and feel until you can make the choice to release any fear or self -doubt that is asking for your attention. Give to yourself during these moments of time. Change your mind and make one healthy choice for yourself each day.

Take a walk, write a poem, make yourself a healthy salad, have a bath and linger for a while, put some music on and dance with your spirit, close the door in your office and take your shoes off and give your self a foot massage .....nourish yourself each day. Support yourself as you check in with your feelings and breathe. Open your heart and know that you are worthy. In this place you will create more time and space for love and peace."

"Our feelings are not negativity they are truth. We may react to them in a negative way because the feeling takes us to our past. Taking the time to move into our breath will allow the feelings to be embraced. It only takes a moment ....it may feel uncomfortable.....and it feels like fear, or sadness, disappointment, resentment, self-doubt, or hurt...IN THE PIT OF YOUR STOMACH.....BREATHE INTO THIS PLACE OF ANXIETY....BE WITH IT FULLY.....BE CONSCIOUS OF WHAT YOU FEEL....THIS IS THE TRUTH RIGHT NOW.

In this moment you are out of your mind and inside your emotional body. Breathe with it and allow the feelings to dissolve as you say out loud " I am here, I am going to take care of you, I love you." Feel your heart open and receive your truth. Be still and allow your soul to create your desires. Allow true love and peace to manifest.
Send your true message out loud and clear...Love,Peace, Passion, Abundance is living here in me. I am grateful."

"Never missing is love...
You can find it somewhere.
Take time to feel the negativity that stops you from opening your heart.
Connect to the love that is internal.
Never gone!
Always waiting for you to show up...anywhere.
Breathe.....and Deepen....
Live the connection of Love,
it is everywhere."

"When we feel panic or tightness in our body or our life.....Breathe into the feelings deeply.
If we feel control is taking over......Breathe into our body.
As the drama becomes overwhelming.....Breathe into the fear that is suppressed.
Breathe into our greatest fear about the circumstance and allow ourself the time to experience it fully.
Release as the tears flow through our heart....be with it and acknowledge its presence.
Stay in the space beyond the tears.....here inside where we just don't know.
Sit in the center of our heart and feel the energy move through.
Embrace each moment with faith.
Feel connected to the light of peace....be patient.
The answers will come....and the opportunity will arrive."

"This week is dedicated to Child Find....displayed are pictures of beautiful, loving children missing. I cannot imagine the terror of a parent as they wake up each morning not knowing where their daughter or son could be. How could you ever find peace in your heart for the rest of your life?

Each of our journeys are so different and our pathway to peace is personal and necessary. Today we can pray for each child missing and feel compassion for the families who are in fear each day.

This week our loving cat Lucky is missing and each day we are looking for him. We feel the loss of his beautiful spirit.

Faith continues to guide our hearts to hope.
Life constantly takes us to letting go each day.
Time moves us into peace.

To every parent who has lost a child....
As the grief holds your tender heart, release the tears of sadness.
Create the space for love to flow and wash away the pain.
In this warm place where peace arrives,
embrace your child and hold her close.
See the light beyond the darkness,
shine it brightly to guide him to you.
In this safe place....in your heart....feel the presence
of your loving child....never missing.
Know they are with you and this connection of love will guide
them home."

"It is hard sometimes when the energy of our life is turned up side down. A person or event creates change and we may feel discomfort, struggle, self-doubt, emotional pain, fear, disappointment, anger or guilt. We may go to judgment and blame and call this person evil or this event unfair. Just like a death or loss of someone we love, we may spiral into layers of emotional upheaval.

The journey to peace has its own pathway. Each one of us has choices to make, responsibility to take, forgiveness to feel and compassion to live. Each of us has a chance to grow in consciousness. The truth is everything requires love ...every person and every experience. It is up to us to take our responsibility as all actions depend on what information lives in our hearts and our emotional history that has not been cared for. We must ask ourselves, what kind of happiness is achieved if at the expense of another person?

Fear will paralyze our ability to think and respond clearly. Everyone and everything that is embraced with fear is a gift for change. Faith will take you into compassion and allow the energy to change your direction. Use this moment to think with the highest of thought and express yourself with truth. Remember the love and try not to separate from the connection to your heart. Sit in the center of your experience with clarity and believe in each other."

"The antidote for FEAR is FAITH. Anxiety is suppressed emotions uncared for. Depression is suppressed emotions uncared for. If we are too busy we may not realize what is sitting deep within. Give your emotional body the attention it needs each day Make this healthy choice for you and your loved ones. Use The Inner Workout to support your self and unlock the barrier of self-doubt and release the density of fear. Live emotionally fit."

"Adopt a new perception each day and live by it. Hold it in your consciousness and feel the essence of it bloom in your heart. Nurture its meaning and let its awareness become who you are. Allow the fragrance of this loving thought be your gentle touch and soft voice. Breathe with the rhythm of mindfulness and discover a new gift each day. Let your breath take you to any doubt that rises up inside. Release any negativity that becomes a barrier. Discover the beauty of each present moment with your healing thought for the day.

Here are a few examples.... I am grateful...I am worthy ... I am happy....I am abundant ... I am healthy ... I am open to receive the beauty of my life ... I am living in peace ...I am ready for my beloved ... I am a loving partner ... I am a loving parent...I am living my life purpose. Practice all day with this perception of who you are in the pocket of your heart."

"When you think that you are better than anyone you are sitting on a false sense of power. The pedestal will eventually shatter and this will be the beginning of your fall from ego.
Turn inside to feel truth. Hold on tight as you move into self-doubt and fear. Release your deep emotional pain. Take your mask off and see your true identity in the hearts of everyone around you. Look into the mirror and forgive yourself. Breathe into the space of compassion, love and peace. Walk on the same path as humanity and choose to be an inspiration."

"Know that your ego has misguided you. Be courageous. Walk through the doorway of responsibility. Move into the truth of your actions. Touch your deep feelings as you become humble. Allow yourself to rise to the occasion of a lesson well learned. Sit in the beauty of vulnerability. Stand tall with the realization of consciousness. Meet your muse in the place of transformation."

"When feeling the least bit stuck, weighed down by life, overwhelmed, cranky, unsure or exhausted.....take the time to know that you are not in the flow and the energy is blocked.
It just takes a moment to remember, acknowledge and feel. By giving ourself that moment of attention we are conscious of what is going on. Breathe deeply and connect to the inner experience and be with it....just for the moment.


Feel the emotions connected to your thoughts....journey with them as you feel the anxiety in your tummy, anxiousness in your chest or tightness in your throat. BE with the relationship with your heart.....just for this moment. Awareness creates an opportunity to be sensitive to any negativity and allow it to release out of your body. In this moment you are present....feel the energy rising up in you as you connect with the flow of clarity. Now, feel yourself lighter."

"Can we be in a place of not knowing and in acceptance? This moment may feel fearful with anxieties because we may have visions and illusions that create expectations. At first the power of our mind and desires give way to excitement and enthusiasm. When the opportunity we have dreamt about does not come to fruition, disappointment plays with our emotions. This human dance with our future can create disillusionment. How many times have we been taken to the alter of hope, to be abandoned and left standing alone with our negative feelings? I am certain that our dress rehearsal has continued to play out for our personal letting go of our attachments to what we map out.

To say " I don't know" with faith that the journey with our bigger purpose is somewhere on the horizon. Our disappointment brings us back inside to feel and pull us back to the present moment of knowing. Knowing without our plan in mind. We have no idea how our future is going to look...yet we have the gift of knowing, if we choose, that it will be perfect for us.

Live in presence and let go of what we think we know. Know that we are worthy and receive the gifts each day."

"Tax time brings us to many feelings, usually a heavy time for anyone! A great time to get organized and sort out any financial issues. Try if you can to create a healthy relationship around money and be truthful around your connection to it. Does your financial situation take you to a feeling of not being successful? Do you feel not good about your life? Are you in fear ? Are you tired of this relationship with money? Once you acknowledge your true feelings around money... anger, self-doubt, disappointment or resentment, breathe into the emotions.

Change your mind about money and shift your perception. Make money your ally and not your enemy. Know that you are worthy and feel the abundance of love in your life...the riches that are in you. Use this tax time to move inside to release the old, past struggles with money out. Whatever experience money or lack of money is taking you to, unlock the flood gates of emotion and allow energy to flow through you. Be patient as you take the time to support your self...inside your heart....and trust that you are supported.

Manifest a healthy relationship with your financial situation. You can change your life from the inside out."

"The fountain of youth is peace....How do we live it each day? Our personal connection to our healthy and healed mind, body, heart and spirit takes committment.

Close your eyes....Connect with feelings triggered in us each day that may be unattractive and uncomfortable such as... anxieties, fear, agitations, irritations, shutting down, bitching, unhappiness, overwhelmed, critical, needy, disrespectful, angry, resentment, self-doubt, hurt, disappointment, hopelessness, desperation, deprivation, loneliness, controlling, aggressive, guilt, shame......Breathe.

Breathe fully into the discomfort.............See these negative aspects in us and breathe until they dissolve....Let Go......until you are empty.

Continue to breathe fully and say out loud..."I am here". Breathe in and receive the gentleness of peace, unconditional love, and become conscious and aware of the presence of faith, patience, joy, abundance, worthiness, worth, inspiration, calmness, truth, creativity, mindfulness, thoughtfulness, enthusiasm, acceptance, respect, your open heart, health
wellness and inner beauty..........Breathe into who you truly are.....feel your self open.

Find your way each day to Inner Peace and commit to having the courage to change your life. Come alive and rebuild your radiant self and vitality. Become flexible to love and laugh more. Know your worth and see the road signs that direct you inside. It is our responsibility and our life purpose to live heaven on earth...become emotionally fit.


Honor and respect all that you are and reflect this gift to everyone in your life. Connect to the presence of peace, always waiting....beyond the negativity. Forgiveness opens our heart and compassion is the highest form of love.

Open your heart each day and connect to your self-worth.....Peace keeps us youthful."

"We sometimes cannot see the grandness of love or the lack of respect because we are stuck in our own human doubt and fear. It's up to us to take care of self-doubt and know that love and the beloved are experienced more fully as we release into all that we are. It is our job and purpose to find our way to our highest vibration in all aspects of our life.

To live in the beloved connection is to remember who the other person is with respect. If they cannot live in this place with you, it may be time for you to recognize it and respect yourself enough to leave."
