We’ve talked before about 2018 being a great year.  How it is a 2 year in which we can expect greater harmony, flow, connection and more.    While that is true, the real reason why 2018 will be your year is . . . YOU!   That’s right–how wonderful 2018 will be for you depends on […]

No, not HALLOWEEN.  My birthday!   Actually, they are the same day.   Here are three things I love about my birthday–   1.  It’s always a party 2.  Lots of chocolate 3.  It’s a chance to start over (you know I love to press that reset button!)   I’m going to tell you a little […]

Let’s face it, 2016 hasn’t exactly been an easy year for many of us.  If it wasn’t the neverending election season and continuing political angst, it was personal drama of one kind or another.  Even if 2016 was a great year, it came with a lot of change and challenge.  Now that 2016 is almost […]

Here is the final post in the chakra series.  I hope you have enjoyed learning about this integral part of our energy system.  Please leave a comment if you feel called to do so. The crown chakra is the last of the major seven and is seated predictably at the crown of the head.  It […]

We are now at the penultimate chakra, the brow or third eye chakra, that, not surprisingly, can be found between the physical eyes on the brow bone. This chakra is indigo in color and governs issues of intuition, imagination, dreaming and wisdom. Opening and expanding the third eye is a pursuit that leads to greater […]
