Let's Imagine Peace

Let's take two minutes to visualize, feel, and imagine complete peace within ourselves. Imagine deep peace flowing from your soul into your heart and then into the mind. Visualize, feel and imagine yourself in that peace at all times and in all circumstances. How does it feel? What types of thoughts preoccupy your mind? How do you treat yourself? How do you treat others? How do you react to people, events, and situations? How would you live your life? What would you do with your time?

Now let's expand this vision of peace to include every living thing on and of the Earth. What would society look like? How would our socially constructed institutions of money, government, and health care embody peace and respect toward every person and living thing? Would the way we do business be the same? Where types of resources would we use?

In my visions every one's needs for food, clothing, electricity, water, education, health care, transportation and respect are taken care of by society. We have more time to spend with our families. People have time to get to know their children, spouses, siblings and friends in such an intimate and profound way our actions would not compromise the well being of another. Despite our differences and individuality everyone is heard and respected because we love each other so much. We would spend more time laughing and having fun and playing. We would continue to excel in sports, intelligence, and the creative arts because people would do what they loved and that joy would emanate from them creating vitality and longevity. Sounds too good to be true? Not if we can imagine it. The more we can imagine the possibilities, the more tangible they become. And we have to start somewhere.

I invite you to join me in seeing, feeling and imagining this world for at least two minutes a day. Lets start putting our faith in hope rather than in fear to create this new world for our children. Let us start with ourselves, within our own minds and hearts.

The Wisdom of Toddlers

Between the tantrums and the tears my little toddler has taught me so much. 

• Take joy in the simple things
• When you fall down, get up.
• There is nothing to fear, only learning
• There is no right or wrong way, only creativity and imagination
• There is so much to learn, watch and discover each day
• The most effective communication is between two hearts
• There is no jugement of other's actions, only observation and imitation
• Every moment is playtime (if we allow for it)

The Gift of Yourself

Lately I've been overly aware of how bombarded we are with society's messages that Christmas will be truly special if we give the right gifts or have the perfect decorations to go with perfect tree!  Seriously?!  There has to be more to the holidays than tacky decorations we'd never have out any other time of the year, expensive gadgets, and dead pine trees!  So what is the true meaning behind the Holiday Season in these modern times?  Aside from religious ideas, some people would say the holidays are a time to take a break from usual work routine to spend time with loved ones and friends.  Some would say it's about sending out a ton of holiday cards to people we haven't seen in forever to wish blessings for the upcoming year.  And others would say its about the gifts. Or maybe its all of the above. But what do all of these things have in common?  What is the underlying essence behind all of these acts?  The attempt to connect truly and deeply with another person.  What a beautiful opportunity we have.  Nationally we have a holiday where some of us are given the time off from our daily routines to reconnect with friends and family in so many ways. The acts of giving and receiving have the potential to compliment and enhance relationships through displaying our thoughtfulness and commitment to one another.  It also allows us to take the time and energy to show people how much we love and appreciate them.  However, as wonderful as gifts can be, the giving and receiving of physical objects are only scratching the surface of our capacity for deeper and more meaningful connection.  True connection are the gifts of ourselves in thoughtfulness, attention, understanding, participation, energy and love. Honor your commitments to one another. Listen with empathy.   Put yourself in another person's shoes.  Truely understand another person while offering compassion, forgiveness and love; while also being true to one's self by speaking and living one's own truth in a gentle, peaceful and loving way.   I challenge everyone (including myself) to go deeper in giving this holiday season by offering the gift of yourself in allowing for a deeper connection in whatever forms are presented to you. 

Happy Holidays!

The Power of Imagination

The Power of Imagination




Everything that has ever been created and everything that has has ever been done first started out as thought in someone mind's eye. Our imaginations are very powerful in allowing us to dream possible creations for our lives and each other. The body even uses repetitive thought as practice. So if you wanted to practice dancing, shortly after haven taken a class but lack music or a partner, practicing the dance over and over in your minds eye is the similar to practicing it in the physical. This was confirmed by a study conducted with Olympic runners. Psychologists measured the electrical output of the runner's muscles and it was discovered that the same muscles used while running, also electrically fired while the runner ran in his mind's eye. Our dreams and inner urges have the potential to be very powerful calling us to make a change allowing for the expansion of our experiences. Is there something you've always dreamt of doing? Do you feel this deep call within? Perhaps you and your dream is what your family, friends, co-workers and the world has been waiting. Could you imagine the possibilities?

A Mother's Greatest Gift

On Mother's Day I had the blessing of hearing the channel named Micheal who gave me some insights and thoughts that I'd like to pass along for all the other Mama's out there.

Micheal Says:

• The most important lesson you can teach your children is how to love themselves well.  The capacity through which they are able to love others starts with love of self, therefore, the more they love themselves the better they will love others.  Thus creating a more loving, and peaceful world.
• The greatest gift you can give your children is your own true happiness.  Being a martyr does not serve anyone.  Allowing yourself true happiness takes courage.  If you are courageous in your own life, you serve as a role model for you children to allow and express happiness in their own lives.
• Children have an innate guidance system that they come in with at birth.  Many times we try to control them for their own safety.  Attempts to control can lead to frustration, which lead to anger and resentment.  This is not worth your own creative energy. Their own guidance system keeps them safe.  Protecting and cultivating this guidance will allow them to grow into adulthood with all of their internal intuition in tact. 
• Internal Intuition is what allows us to know, believe and understand that we are enough.  Demonstrating unconditional love....love without conditions.... love independent of a punishment or rewards systems helps keep this internal intuition in tact. 

I practice Hands on Healing and so much of the work I do is focused on reprogramming these set patterns that are established in early childhood.   Patterns that say in order to be loved we must be a "good little girl or boy,"  eat everything on your plate, go to bed on time, do everything Mommy and Daddy say because we know what is best for you.  Ignore your own inner urges to splash in the mud puddle, or chase after that butterfly, or cry out of frustration.  Honoring yourself allows for self love, where you don't need the approval of anyone else for our perfection.  I try to raise my son this way and sometimes its super hard, taking lots of my time, energy and patience.  But I know through my own healing journey that this is one lesson in love that I can do my best to protect him from, until he goes to school anyway, that if he "get's", he will have a more satisfying, fulfilled life at an earlier age than I did.  It is my hope that he will be able to enjoy his childhood, teen and young adulthood chasing after his own dreams, listening to his own inner guidance, living more fully in the present moment, and loving himself and others in deep, unconditional, and peaceful way.

Happy Mother's Day!!!! Thank You for your love, support and friendship!!

Mothers are the most loving, selfless, smartest dedicated people I know and as Mothers we are the heart of the family. We make sure dinner's on the table, the dishes are washed, the laundry is done, the house is picked up. We stay up with our sick children. The gift of pregnancy prepares us for the holy vocation of Motherhood. Many times we can end up putting ourselves last putting our own wants, needs and desires behind those of our children, our husbands, family and sometimes even our friends. Sometimes we do this for the sake of getting things done. Other times we know that if everyone else is happy and content, we too are happy. My own journey into Motherhood has been the most meaningful time of my life. I am beginning to understand in depth how women hold the fabric of society together. We hold the potlucks, the baby showers, and the food tidings. We send the Thank you cards, the Christmas cards, and the birthday cards. We lay the foundations for the friendships, and bonds in which deep, and meaningful community is established. We are the most important person in our children's lives their first five years. They learn practically everything from us, our behavior, habits, and manners, how we talk, how treat each other, and ourselves. So lets treat ourselves gently and lovingly. It's ok to eat an extra peice of chocolate, to delegate the dishes, or to take that extra long bubble bath. The more lovingly we treat ourselves the more love we have to give to others.


As a child I never imagined that my most fulfilling role would be that of Mother. It always seemed so boring, run of the mill and not very glamorous. But today I can say behind the dirty diapers, sore nipples, up all night coughs and colds...comes a peace, satisfaction and sense of accomplishment that I've only ever felt since being a Mom. In learning to love another unconditionally, I am loving myself in the places I didn't know needed it. Through this holy vocation I am truly becoming the person that I was meant to be.


So a big Thank you to my own Mother who's been one of the greatest examples of strength and courage. My Grandma Mary who I miss and think of everyday.  Thank you to all of my mommy friends for your loving support and friendship, who come together for inspiration and support to find gentler ways of raising our children and running our families. To all the Mother's everywhere thank you for helping to birth and raise a new generation of peaceful, loving, and conscious children. Thank you for the hope and potential you see within yourselves, children and the world. The world needs you. Happy Mother's Day today and everyday!!!!!
