Could Thinking Like A Rattlesnake Help You Make Better Choices?
A while back, I was hiking with my dogs when they both simultaneously dove their faces into a bush on the side of the trail. They were a few yards ahead of me, tails wagging with enthusiasm as they looked to satisfy their curiosity. As I approached I shouted, “Leave it,” a command that normally gets them to back away instantly, even from super tempting treats. But they stayed put, sniffing away. Thinking it was a rabbit or other furry critter that had scurried under the bush, I walked up and pulled both dogs away by their collars. Peeking into the bush to see what was so interesting, I was…

Is Your Schedule Too Full to Live Fully? 3 Ways Lighten it Up!
I’ve been feeling lately like I need to take a look at my schedule and do some serious un-scheduling, which I try to do whenever I hear my inner voice whispering to me to slow down. I’ve become pretty good at managing this over the years (with a lot of practice), as free time and time for myself are like oxygen to me and to my creativity. I didn’t used to be so good at the scheduling stuff, and I still have to be mindful about it or things will creep into my schedule that I have no idea why I said “yes” to. Ever look at something coming up…

Creating Simple Sacred Spaces
Having a quiet, peaceful spot to sit and read, meditate, have a mindful conversation, or just re-connect with your heart is an important element of self care and empowering your life. At my dreamy new little urban farm in L.A., I’ve created a healing garden, meditation area, and a cozy seating spot under a giant ash tree in corner of the property. The spot under the Ash tree is a place where I go just to sit and dream, be creative, and contemplate. It’s also the perfect spot to have a cold drink and enriching conversation. You don’t need a big place to create your sacred space. Just a simple…

How to be Responsible for Your Energy and Shine Brighter
Learning to recognize when you need to shift your energy to a higher, brighter vibration is an awesome life skill that is worth honing. Regularly tuning in to ask yourself, “How is my energy right now, and is it lifting me up, as well as the people around me?” Then, if needed, take steps toward shifting. You can also ask yourself, “Am I approaching my world and the people in my life with big love right now?” Choosing to see the world and everything around us through a loving lens is the key to creating a life filled with high quality energy, joy, and peace. It also offers us effective,…
