Your Voice
Sometimes in life, young people are not given the opportunity to speak or to feel deeply. They grow up staying silent, and allowing life to pass by. In fact, as time goes by their authentic voice drops deep into the shadows, well forgetten-non- existent.
This can feel like torture. We are all given gifts to bring into the world. And if pain is showing up in your life and you-it’s time to move to Self-Care. And how you do that is by being kind to yourself and asking for help. Especially if you don’t have the answers.
Find someone who will support you. Who will mirror your core qualities. Never settle for less than that. Take the time to sort through your thoughts and emotions. Feel into your body and question how to reconnect what your body is holding onto and what is true in the moment pleasure.
When you discover who you are, you will finally shine. You will Speak Your Voice and feel confident. Maybe for the first time.
You are a Masterpiece ready to happen. Never Forget that.

5 Ways to Smile
Sometimes, life can get you down. Things don’t go your way. Your dreams fall apart.
When this happen, it’s easy to falls down the spiral. Almost familiar. Yet, our true power comes from lifting ourselves up out the dark and comfortable.
Feeling Good Power can take root again. It is found by choosing Joy and excitement again. Here are 5 ways to help you smile and change your life for the better:
1. Get Outside. Nature if very healing. Allow the sun to warm your brow. Let it energize you. Feel the breeze on your skin, or a cold snap wake you up on a gray chilling day. Pleasure is found everywhere when you open your mind to the outside world.
2. Gratitude- Acknowledge your challenges or your “failures” but don’t put much more energy on that once it is done. Refocus on what you have learned from your mistakes and make better choices moving forward. Find thanks for all the little things in the past opportunities that have reminded you of your own unique brilliance and genius. There is always something good in everything.
3. Be kind to others and yourself. It feels good to be in service and to uplift others. But just as important- meet your own needs in a kind way. Remind yourself to listen to your Higher Self Guidance, and let go of your doubt. Acknowledge your fears-and move right through them with compassion. Treat yourself to things that bring you authentic joy and a smile on your face. Practicing smiling wakes up the Inner Kindness.
4. Reach out to others. Often people who are depressed feel alone. There are billions of people on this planet. Make contact and put yourself out there again.
5. Follow your passion. It’s easy to believe less about ourselves than to see the wonderful qualities that make up our core. Ask others to reflect back our strengths and learn to accept praise. Take critical feedback as someone else’s view, but something you can work on or not to move forward.
We all deserve to smile. Joy is always here. May you find your smile today and share it with life!

Building Self-Confidence
Self-Confidence is not always easy to come by. Especially if the reflection of you from others has been bullying, putting down,dismissal, doubt, belittling, excluding and such. How does one get to know their authentic essential Self when this is the world in which they live?
These negative mirrors are a sense of abuse to the True Self. Especially for children who are so open and ready to absorb everything. Babies are filled with such innocense and curiousity. They take what they are given as truth because they are simply born this way. So dependent and needing to be protected. Their tiny brains take in what is offered, and they organized based upon the reality that is presented.
As children grow, they look toward their parents, their friends, and community to teach them about love and kindness. But this is not always the case. We all know this. We turn on the news and violence is everywhere.
So what can a person do to overcome all the breaks in their trust formed from the world in which we live?
One of the keys to this is to begin to trust your own Inner Wisdom. You know, it is that voice in your head that says, “this is the best way”. It may say to you, “take a bath”. Something as simple as this to relax your muscles and give you some time to empty your head. As you begin to listen to this “Higer Voice” more often, it will get more inolved in more difficult scenerios more often too. Our Inner Wisdom is always wanting to help us to grow and change, even when we resist the generosity of this Self-Love.
Often enough, when we have been betrayed or hurt, we decide, “oh- I will do this alone, on my own”. We do this to try and stay safe. It can make sense for a short time, but in the long-run, we begin to close ourselves in. We miss out on the reality of inter-connected relatioships both within ourselves and with the outer world.
In our hopes to survive, we need to change our thinking. We have been limiting ourselves and our potential severely. You and I were born to greatness. We are walking miracles happening every moment. The Spirit of God, of the Universe, of all of Existence is living inside of us, trying to give us guidance each day to live our best lives.
If you want the best for yourself. If you want to be strong, creative and a true leader, you must begin to listen to your Own Inner Wisdom instead of leaking it away to Others. You will know that the voice is truth when it if Kind, Compassionate, Honest, and Truth. It will resonate in both your heart and your mind. Listen to this voice and notice how your life begins to change. Notice the new steps that you feel brave enough to take. You have he resource inside of you to be a Powerful Presence for yourself and for others. I want this for me, and I want this for all of you who read this.
If you have been drawn to read this, these words are writen from that Voice that comes to me. I hope is uplifts your day to know that everything is possible when you begin to Listen and build your Self-Confidence.
Warmly,

Have you hit your Head?
A concussion is a traumatic brain injury. It's something to take seriously. If you have hurt your head playing football, have fallen or been in an accident, you may not show any external symptoms. Perhaps you did not lose consciouness either. But that doesn't mean...
Let Love Lead
Do you ever feel lost?
Have you stopped listening?
If you pay attention, you will always find that strand of love that is dancing in the breeze, waiting to be held.
To feel truly happy, I think it is necessary to quiet down and notice how love is supporting you. It’s everywhere. And it shows up in every moment.
Listen to your heart, and make your best decisions there with clarity and grounding.
Real love is true. You’ll know that by the way you feel.

Be Yourself
Normal is Overrated.
We live in a world where “normal” is overrated. So much of what we learn is how to fit in with the thinking of others. Especially when we are younger, our parents, teachers and friends ask us to memorize, to repeat, to make habits that are part of the current paradigm. Somewhere in all of this though, is you- wanting to find your own way of Being. It’s a tricky tightrope act learning to walk in both worlds between the authentic you and what is expected. Ultimately though, as we mature and grow up, for those of us who weren’t given much opportunity to be heard, acknowledged or hear praise, we must learn how to discard the package we have been sold. How to do this? 1. Be curious always 2. Step outside your box and see things from a view that comes from within you. 3. bring your awareness to your own sense of self before relating to others 4. allow yourself to receive and regulate “what’s out there” at your own pace and in whatever quantity is easiest for you. 5. practice connecting with your whole self and don’t let anything get in the way! Good luck unlearning all the bullshit, and finding the real you.
