Appreciative of Good Deeds and Kind Hearts
Spreading Kindness and Joy! I would love to talk about sharing a piece of yourself with someone. Giving a thought, talent and or time to someone can show others you care more than you know. What may feel like a little gesture could end up meaning the world to someone else. I love it when strangers hold the door open for you and hold your glance with a kind gleam in their eye and likewise when, you do the same for them they respond with a thoughtful thank you that comes from the heart. Or when a person goes out of their way to ask someone how they are truly…

It’s time to relax, relate and release!
Ever look at a child’s face when they are handed their favorite double scoop special order of ice cream with brownie when they are going in for their first bite? Witnessed a baby figuring out the art of the magical peek a boo smile? Observed a chef’s reaction to tasting their utterly magnificent creation? A dancer’s locked in poise and resolve as they hit their groove? How about my very favorite, the look on a child’s face along with their parents reaction to walking the great pathway on main street towards Disney Worlds magic castle. These are all moments of sheer bliss that transcend thoughts, stress and reason. They are true…

I’m sure we have all been in a position where we have felt like we are hitting our head against a huge roadblock brick wall that can’t be penetrated. You know that feeling that no matter how fast you’re running your legs seem like jelly and you just can’t seem to get to the finish line. Sometimes it is in these exact moments when we need to take advice from our dear friend the tortoise and pause or even slow down to the point of shutdown. Now this doesn’t mean quitting the race, more like stopping to take a deep breath, grab water, and just breathe. For some, this is…

Some of us have even become super familiar with the phrase “I should have known better by now”… well why do we keep on repeating the same mistakes and stumbling over the same obstacles?!?
