The Damaging Effects of “Being a Good Girl or Boy”

When you were a child did one or both of your parents say to you, “Be a good girl” or “Be a good boy” in a consistent and authoritative manner? Was the answer to every problem or the basis for every solution for you to be compliant, quiet, without thoughts or opinions, without needs, or downright silent? (more…)

Stand Up Tall Inside Yourself!

How tall are you and how tall do you feel walking your daily path? Are you able to shift your position internally and externally to feel better about yourself? It is a wonderful tool to be willing to learn and grow by shifting your awareness, attitude, or physicality.

It is in these small acts of intentional learning that you make the most progress, especially the small acts are done consistently.

Awaken Your Personal Power!

How many moments in your days and nights have you had a thought, felt a feeling, or became acutely aware of something like a song, sign or statement that simply grabbed you- triggering you to stop and pay immediate attention? How often do you notice how wonderful you are as a unique person as you continue to learn and grow day-by-day? Are you aware of all the chances to stop and see the truth, helping you to evolve and grow?

When you are open to awaken your personal power, start with tuning into your state of awareness. Become comfortable with being accountable 100% of the time. Be present to your conscious intention and responses to stimuli around and within you. Acknowledge all of your strengths and sensitivities- both have great merit. Be aware of any subtle or obvious distractions in your days and evenings as they may be wake-up calls offering you insights or tools about your life.  Add to your repertoire of skill and wisdom by being an ongoing student of life.

Learning opportunities or “insight moments”* offer a stirring to do, act, accept, or live differently with ideas that invite a better experience. To live authentically is to accept an invitation for you to awaken your personal power; a sincere and empowering gift and a call to your soul.  (more…)

An Accidental Lesson

My trainer and I enjoyed a wonderful Wellness Expo in Philadelphia. Afterwards, we walked into a magical florist shop that pulled me in. It felt beautiful and enchanting. As we entered, a large white gazebo welcomed us, with colorful, fragrant beauties of all sorts adorning its archway. I felt an immediate air of something Angelic with delights seen and unseen- like a Garden of Eden of sorts.

We discovered many treasures including surreal floral arrangements, bright ornamental roosters and apples, and sleek bamboo plants floated in marbled water, with intricately braided root bases. The scent of roses and lilies gently wafted in the air. A long, rectangular mahogany mirror hid behind an old-fashioned wash basin and bowl.

Suddenly, a quiet, slightly built man appeared next to me with sparkling eyes and an expressive smile. This gentle shopkeeper had a delicate, elflike quality about him, as he flitted about the shop and shared his floral passions. He gave me precise walking directions to my evening destination. I thanked him saying,” I loved being inside this special placefilled with pure sweetness in every way”. We shared one last sparkly smile and when saying goodbye, he said, “God will bless you today.” I felt surprisingly moved and touched as I had not heard this expression before. I appreciate the words, “God bless you.” Wow, he actually said, “God will bless you today.” I responded in kind saying, “God bless you too”. I turned away with intense gratitude for this distinct and perhaps divine loving message.

Once outside, I told my friend, “I think he was an Angel.” She smiled in acknowledgement. We hugged, parted ways, and walked in opposite directions. As I carried my two equally-weighted bags, I felt strong and free thinking about my future.

As I continued to walk, an abrupt event changed my life forever! When I approached the median strip in the center of the massive street, I was struck while walking- on foot!  (more…)
