This month has been really big for me. My favorite month this year methinks. There have been some really huge shifts from a business mindset, I don't even know if I'd call it a business mindset, more of a life purpose mindset, which intertwines with my business.This month has been huge in affirming what I do.It all started with this Monthly challenge thing that I run, which has completely changed the way that I think about what I do and why I do...

As Autumn approaches (I am so excited!) I find myself turning more within myself, delving into my spirituality and allowing myself to get in touch with higher energies, you know, Gods and Goddesses!Today I wanted to share the card Ganesha from the Gaia Oracle. Ganesha is a Hindu God who is the remover of obstacles. One of my favorite mantras to recite with my prayer beads is Om Gum Ganapatayei Namaha (Om Guhm Guh-nuh-puh-tuh-yea Nah-mah-hah)...

I absolutely love this song Beauty In The World by Macy Gray. It's such a good reminder to look for all of the beauty in the world. It's one of my favorite summer songs. Reminds me of taking walks with my mp3 player blaring in my ears and my body moving to the music despite myself.Summer is full of Little Beautiful Things.What LBTs have you seen today? There is so much opportunity to notice the little things in life as you go out into the world.The...

A lot of people have mixed reactions about the term self help or self improvement. I embrace them.Wouldn't it be great if we could all rely on each other and speak honestly about the things that we work on?Instead, when we work on our "stuff" we often do it in silence, without allowing ourselves to seek out a support system, without being open about our process, and without openly acknowledging how much bravery we have to embark on that path.I had...

Most of us have dark places inside of us. Those shadowy places wherein dwell the knowledge of the mistakes we've made, the things that we're ashamed of, and the darker sides of our personalities.How hard is it to acknowledge that part of you?This oracle card The Mirror from Oracle of the Mermaids is a reminder not to shun that part of yourself. Don't pretend that it's invisible or that it doesn't exist because in doing so you deny the existence of...

Let's talk about smelly things, good smelly things of course! Specifically the very cleansing, bliss-you-out smell of Sage.Sage is my go to essential oil for cleansing my space of negative juju. Having sage simmering in an essential oil warmer or in a candle helps disperse negative energies in the room. This is especially good if there's been a lot of strife and chaos in your home life.You can also get sage smudge sticks, which are usually bundles...

Hey lovely face.I've been doing a lot of soul searching and emotional work. (See: Unraveled) One of the things I've been working on is naming and identifying my emotions, breaking them down, and seeing what other emotions are hiding underneath that.Have you ever been upset and you don't know what the emotion is?Or you think that you're feeling one emotion but it really turns out it's covering for something else?That's the thing about emotions sometimes...

Have you ever heard of the term airing-out your house?This means opening up the windows and letting the sunlight and fresh air in. Letting it swirl around your space, chasing away the shadows, opening up the dark places.You can shake the dust from the curtains, change the linens, and wipe down dusty objects. It makes such a big difference, it changes how your home feels.How often do you let the sunshine and fresh air into your living space?The next...

I also like stones and crystals, because well... also awesome!One stone that really helps amplify those feelings of self love is rose quartz. It's like the Official Self Love crystal.If you find yourself lacking in love, whether it's feelings of unworthiness or you just find yourself lacking an overall loving vibe, pop a piece of this in your pocket.I've personally used this when I'm going...

Am I the only one that likes listening to loud, upbeat music first thing in the morning? It helps me enjoy getting ready for work. I was listening to Fun's Some Nights and singing along, loudly and off-key of course. When I got hit by the lyrics, in that way, as it happens with music because music speaks to the soul.What do I stand for? What do I stand for? Most nights I don't know anymore...That part made me sad because it reminded me of a time...

I was so happy yesterday when my lovely early birthday gift to myself Oracle of the Mermaids showed up. It had perfect timing and kicked me out of one of those down-in-the-dumps bad moods.Right after I'd excitedly opened it up and looked at all of the cards, I held the cards to my heart and asked for them to guide me. I chose Vulnerability.Open your heart, allow yourself to be tender.Alright Universe, I hear ya. I have been rejecting vulnerability,...

What's your reaction when you first wake up?Do you jerk awake to the sounds of alarms blaring all around you? Do you, with a groan that sounds like a ravenous zombie, reach over to pound on the snooze button, only to be awakened by alarms a few minutes later?The word says it all: alarm.Is that really the way you want to start your day? 365 moments of alarms, frantic beeping, or the radio blaring at you? It doesn't have to be that way.Experiment...

A few days ago I was walking home from work in the morning after a few days of rain. I live in the city and I was walking over one of those bridge-thingies, ya know they aren't really bridges, just elevated roads with water that runs underneath them when it rains.When I'm crossing that bridge-thing I always look down over the rail because sometimes there are ducks and I really like looking at ducks. That day I looked down and saw a turtle-disguised-as-a-rock...

A week ago I was sitting with my friend and we were talking about Facebook envy.In the past, before the internet, we usually made friends with the people around us, in our neighborhoods, with lives that were similar to ours. The houses looked similar, the people around us made the same amount of money, the kids all played together. How often would you have someone coming over to your house with a bag of polaroids from their trip around the world...
