  Do you ever stumble across something that lifts you right out of a fearful mood, like a joke or a video, maybe a line from a book you just finished reading, or a few words spoken by a friend who doesn’t know how you feel?

What Do You Believe?

Recently, I was asked what I believe. My first reaction was to say it doesn’t matter. But in my own heart, as I live my life, it does matter.

Treasure Yourself

Have you ever treasured yourself?   Have you ever looked into your own eyes in a mirror and smiled genuinely? Have you ever put your hands over your belly and closed your eyes, thanking the Universe within for yourself?

LOVE Your Boo Monster!

When I was studying Shamanism with a teacher years ago, I was accused of loving my negative ego. Instead of making my ego shut up, or ignoring it, or quieting my mind, the teacher accused me of listening to and allowing it to run my life.
