Mindfulness Meets Real Life

One of the questions I get asked the most, is "how do I stay Peaceful when the world is falling apart?" Remember, that you are what you consume- Physically, Emotionally and Spiritually.  It's extremely important that we stay out of the negative fear vibe that is out there.  Everywhere we look the media is filling us with a daily diet of pessimism and gloom.  Almost too much for an optimistic like me to bear. Make no mistake:  The world is getting more chaotic in response to the imbalance within her. It's up to us to stay balanced within ourselves, and...

We all know by now that putting your love and intention behind your choices brings you better results in what you wish to create.  This month, as the energies continue to intensify, I am reminded to stay true to my intention of manifesting JOY.  This means being aware of thoughts, emotions and letting yourself be in total flow with all that is going on around you.  It also means dropping judgment of people and situations and allowing them to just be.  We, as humans, seek to label the experience- ie: the traffic is bad, that person is mean, this is the greatest/worst thing that has ever happened -but when we just allow it to be, as simply the witness, our perspective changes. Removing judgment allows us to remain in our center and thus be more in balance.

10 STEPS TO MAKE PEACE WITH YOUR PAST   “Forgiveness means giving up all hope of a better past.” ~Lily Tomlin   How many of us spend our days thinking about the things that might have been? Things we could have done differently? People we should have let go of, or people we should have held on to? We all have regrets, and we all tell ourselves "should’ve," "would’ve," and "could’ve." Let’s be honest here.  None of us wants to be the oppressor of our own lives, but in truth, that is exactly what happens.  We self-sabotage, we denigrate ourselves,...

The Rite of Passage Necklace was originally created- when a customer wanted to give her daughter something to celebrate her "becoming a woman." Her request was a simple necklace with Moonstone so that she could mark this event (a rite of passage). Since I loved the simplicity, I made a few more for my retail shop. Funny how things turn out though; these little gems sold out immediately! This necklace has become something of a harbinger and celebration of New Beginnings.  It has fast become one of our best selling pieces as grown women are purchasing it for themselves.  Whether it...
