Do you ever feel like something’s missing in an area of your life? Relationships, business, passions… it’s something most of us experience at one time or another. Long ago, I learned from A Course in Miracles that when you feel like something’s missing in any situation, the answer is what’s missing is what you’re not giving. I’ve found this to be powerfully true in so many instances. It’s an idea that’s changed the way I show up in many areas of my life for the better, and keeps me focused on always doing the best I can, asking, “What more can I offer?” But, I’ve recently learned there’s something else…

This Will Make Your Day! A Lesson Learned in a New York City Elevator
Wow, did I learn a powerful lesson a few years ago on an elevator ride with a stranger in New York City. Sometimes the lessons that really sick with us come from the most unexpected experiences. This quick video clip is the story of that ride, what I learned, and why I haven’t thought about the statement, “Have a nice day,” the same way since. It might make your day, it sure did mine!

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.

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…

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.

Adventures in Downsizing for Happiness
It’s been a little bit since my last post! I’ve missed everyone and am SO super excited to share a bunch of FANtabulous stuff with you over the next few weeks! 🙂 So, earlier this year, I set out on a 90-day mission to downsize and simplify… and WOW, did I! I gave away, donated, or recycled over half of what I owned! (Talk about freedom!) I also sold my old house, which was very large and had only a concrete patio for a yard. Initially, I had some anxiety about selling the house and how successful I’d be with a sale. Eventually, I took the leap and downsized…
