Winter is not always my favorite time to “get moving.” I do it anyway and I feel better after. This particular day I was able to work a little time in between morning appointments and work and man…

I D I D N O T R E G R E T I T !

Sometimes you just have to step through the front door of your gym. Walk a few minutes on the treadmill, feel the energy in yourself build as you take each step and gain courage from the music playing on repeat. 

So on this day… I feel like I reclaimed a part of me as I pushed through several rounds of an empowering workout. Which reminds me, a workout should never be tedious or mundane. It should leave you feeling challenged and accomplished. That – challenged and accomplished – looks very different for all of us. Don’t give in and compare yourself to others. Compare yourself to you. You are the center of your Universe. No one else.

It’s Okay to Move On Alone

It’s Okay to Move On Alone

Being recently divorced I’ve faced my share of lonely times. Pure loneliness and sadness thinking that the one that I needed was a partner, a man. I watched as happy families passed by, they laughed, had plans for the day that I was sure would make wonderful memories for themselves and their children. I was devastated. But I realized one thing, I never had that anyway so what was I missing. 

As soon as I realized what I wanted with a partner had actually never been attained I started to heal. I started to look inside of myself for the happiness and wholeness that I so longed for. Through my holistic therapy sessions, meditation and shamanic journeying I started to see that fulfillment is not found in a partnership but within oneself. 

Recently I had this thought that reminded me of how far I had come. I felt bad for my lovely friends who were in relationships that were currently toxic, unfulfilling, even harmful relationships, at that moment, I felt so blessed to be free to be my own person. I had certainly come a LONG WAY. Consider this, for years my body had been telling me I was on the wrong path, migraines, overweight, I even had my gull bladder removed because it became so infected it no longer served my living body. All of the signs were there but I refused to listen to them. And now I am here, alone. Living the life that I have always dreamed would come to be. 

You see, when you connect with the inner strength and happiness that resides within your being, your soul, you’ve found the absolute most beautiful thing to be cherished in this life. True happiness. 

My friends, find that love in yourself and in others. Lead by example and show those around you that you see the light of love in them and honor it. Know that true love is not only romantic, it is the love of your child and their reflection in your eyes. It is the love you express when you see a beautiful flower, or the sun. It is the love you feel when you witness human kindness.

Love completely and LIVE to your max capacity.
