Your Garden Will Bloom
Winter can be a time when things seem to be asleep. But conscious hibernation and the regeneration of Spirit is a good and necessary season for us all. It is important to let those seeds of intention and inspiration germinate in their own time so that they can bloom riotously when ready. Be patient and…
Be the One
"Be the one who breaks the cycle. If you were judged, choose to release it. If you were rejected, choose acceptance. If you were shamed, choose to inspire. Become the person you needed when you were hurting, not the person who hurt you. Vow to be better than what broke you--to heal instead of becoming…

As 2016 comes to a close, I have found myself doing what many do this time of year. Christmas is over, and a new year approaches, along with new possibilities, new chances to better ourselves, and a renewed hope for the coming year. For many, myself included, 2016 has been a tough year. For me,…
