Endorphins act as a pain reliever.  Serotonin acts like an antidepressant. And, all we need do is Smile.  Smiling offers happiness.  Smiling is contagious.  Smiling is good for the heart.  A smile […]

Dream. Imagine. See. Create. Your life.  Your reaction.  Your way. As we look for the beautiful, (what is beautiful to us) we see it. !! Beauty is all around us; in things we do; people we connect to; and things we dream. Beauty is in us.  From the depth of who we are; the truth […]

As I woke up this morning and found myself in an uncomfortable place of feeling a bit insecure and a lot uncertain as to the next step I wanted and could imagine myself taking, I realized that It is okay to be unsure.. not in the ‘know’ in this moment.  It is ok to letting […]

I’d like to offer for You to breathe…  Breathe deeply in filling your stomach up like a balloon.  Hold your breath…   And, as you release your breathe gently, slowly all the way to empty, relax into your body and look for any tension and let it go.  Do this as many times as you feel […]
