How to embody gratitude
My work centers on creating spaces within and spaces without that nurture healing, compassion and personal transformation. Through a blend of spiritual guidance and conscious design, I support my clients’ journey to peace and clarity in their environment and within themselves. With Thanksgiving on the horizon, I thought it might be nice to look at how we embody gratitude. What are the energetic components of gratitude and how does it play out in our reality?
Quest for Wholeness
I am reading “Quest for Wholeness: Healing Ourselves, Healing Our World,” by Robert Brummet. It is a journey of discovering our true spiritual nature by acknowledging that we are more than our human aspects. He believes that healing ourselves contributes to healing our world. As I journey along with him on this quest, I am leaning into what it means to me to experience wholeness. Isn’t wholeness something we are already? If not, how do we reconcile the parts of ourselves that are out of alignment so that we can feel whole?
Grit and Grace: What prayer can do
I was sitting at the bar at the Bavarian Inn in West Virginia when I received a flurry of texts from a girlfriend asking if our boys, who are roommates in Asheville NC, were OK. She had been watching the news and was unable to reach her son. I got on my phone to understand what she was telling me about Hurricane Helene. Seeing the devastation, I made a phone call. Then another. I sent a text, followed by a facetime request. We have an understanding in my family that if the same person calls back right away it’s important, so we answer. My boys never violate this rule. Despite my efforts to try every avenue of communication that I could think of, I had no luck until finally, the youngest answered. He was in Knoxville and safe. I started the process again.
Law of Attraction in Action
Do you believe that you created the reality you are living? Are you able to connect the dots between your dreams and your reality? Can you identify any beliefs you hold that contradict what your imagination signals is possible?
Feng Shuiing My Son's Apartment
I drove down to Asheville recently to see my boys and to help one of them move into an apartment. I have enjoyed watching all of my boys fledge one by one into the world and into their own lives. The final step, getting their own places, has been particularly satisfying for me as I love designing spaces! I am lucky to be able to acutely feel when the energy of a room is off. It has taken me years to refine my 6th sense to locate and restore harmony to a dissonant environment.
Becoming the Egyptian Queen
What beliefs do people have that enable them to accomplish their goals? What is the turning point or magical moment that inspires a vision to become a viable path? Can that energy be duplicated, and if so, how? I believe it can and I want to give you a few tools that can help you to turn your dream into a reality.
The Lion's Gate Portal: The astrological event and how it affects you
The Lion’s Gate is an astrological event resulting from the Sun aligning with the star Sirius and Earth. It takes place during Leo season, opening a portal of the heightened cosmic energy of abundance. It lasts from July 28-Aug. 12, peaking on Aug. 8. This year was a more powerful year in that Aug. 8, 2024, numerically reduces to 8-8-8 (8th month, 8th day, 2024+2+0+2+4=8 year). *The number 8 numerologically is the balance between the spiritual and material world.
Leveling up
When our kids were little, my sister had to be away for a few days and left her toddler son with me. He is around the same age as my youngest, so adding one more boy to my four-boy brood was not a big deal. When they dropped him off, they shared that he was a bit constipated.
Understanding the chakras
We have several layers of energy that surround our physical body known as the auric field. This energy system holds our past, present and future.
My Call To Adventure
In 2003 I had my gall bladder removed. It was one year following the birth of my youngest son. I was 33 years old. As an energy worker I am well aware that issues with a gallbladder are related to anger turned inward. The gallbladder is located in the solar plexus energy center, and it is where we move our energy out into the world. It’s mantra is I decidehow to direct my energy and in those days I did not feel like I could.
