When you are a passionate creative, you discard the old and invite the new regularly. That’s why we have so many projects unfinished. We gain confidence as we transition. We savor the steam as ideas flare up unexpectedly. We relish the untamed, the experiment and the journey.
As old beliefs burn out, new enlightened ones show up. With re-kindled self-assurance, the replacement process motivates us. Hence, we are in a continuous cycle of making better decisions for ourselves in the name of art.
C is for Confidence: It’s attractive not conceited like I and so many girls were taught growing up.
B is for Balance: Not having wild mood swings keeps both my feet on the ground.
S is for Self-care: Rather than self-absorbed, nurturing and taking care of myself feeds me and therefore improves my relationships by giving me Confidence and ensuring I am Balanced.
WAIST is an acronym for “Why Am I Still Talking?”
It’s something I have to tell myself when clearly there are no winners, the other person has tuned out or I need to restrain my tongue.
Freesias abound in late winter/early spring! Here we have four colors from the garden, the second week of cuttings. Year after year, bulbs repeat their performance, albeit with less and less fragrance each coming season.
Yesterday was International Women’s Day. It occurred to me that every day needs to be women’s day. I am sure we all thought that.
I am a Goddess and Goodness is my sacred teacher. I give thanks to Gratitude’s Good Grace. May we grow and germinate the earth with peace, love and joy.

You are more than you ever realized. You are much more divine than you ever dreamed. If you question and search for the responses, the answers will reveal and explain themselves.
Meditate and journal to find your true wisdom.
Chat with a friend, listen to music and bask in awe of nature.
Just as everyone you meet on the path of life becomes a teacher, so does every obstacle become an avenue for re-invention.
We can manifest our dreams.
We must live to our highest potential.
Sing the music in you.
Your calling is to ascertain, verify and establish the genuine you, every day, again and again.
Ask basic questions (you will locate some in yesterday’s blog post).
Revise and tweak who you truly are.
What inspires you? What is your passion? What is the purpose of your life?
If you ask, you will receive astounding answers.
What gives you delight? What nourishes your mind, body and soul? What sparks your energy? What makes you feel most alive? Are you generous with others, either with time, touch or thought?
List the many ways you help and give to others.
How can you channel your calling into your soul’s mission? What does that look like? Can you break it down into mini, little, baby steps? What action could you take today?
Write your purpose or trajectory so you can follow and re-visit it in the months to come as a reminder to stay on your authentic path.
“We are not held back by the love we didn’t receive in the past, but by the love we’re not extending in the present” – Marianne Williamson
Making amends to ourselves, forgiving our own harshness towards ourselves, we become guided by our true north, reconnecting with our actual power and the exact reason for our existence.
We can dissolve fear when we call for spiritual guidance and spread Love! When we live out every moment with vivid, deep, extraordinary and exciting vision, we explode in gratitude and see ourselves clearly.
Dare to shed your past Karma via radical forgiveness.
My spirit is eternal. It loves Harmony, Peace and Wonder. I trust that my highest good and greatest joy are unfolding now.
Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future. – Oscar Wilde
There is no heaven without absolution. We realize we can’t want misery for other folks without being in limbo ourselves.
Forgiveness ends every illusion we are separate from the present moment and our oneness with the universe.
It begins and finishes with me, with you, with us.
