Thus, the great paradox of this being human. How do we do it all while also leaving behind regrets and judgement about not doing enough?

Healing old wounds is hard. How plants can teach us a lesson or two on how it's done.

If I had paused long enough to check I would have noticed this lump in my throat was mom sized.

Life is a series of cycles. Astrology gives us the decoder ring to make the most of them.

Reflection on 4 years of the blog!

I like this from Brene Brown: "I know my life is better when I work from the assumption that everyone is doing the best they can." 

It started like that. Full of love and optimism, confidence, certainty. 

“If you have the power Chrissy, you attack!” Words spoken by my gentle, humble and very devout Grandfather during a wild game of pinochle...

It all became clear to me in that moment, as I stood there watching this regal bird fly from tree to tree. I knew why I was summoned.

I remember sitting there thinking, “Where am I? What is happening?"

I want this as a place holder for me, and maybe for you, that you don’t have to do all the things just because we are starting a New Year.

I am a firm believer in intention and when we lead with love, how can we ever be wrong? 

For all of you out there seeking your signs, please remember they come from everywhere and from people too.

It is my belief that doing things differently every now and again is how we bring on bigger changes and call in new energy.

When you start to tune in and acknowledge signs, you become attuned to the energy and patterns that surround us everyday.

Doctors have been dismissing me for years. Most of my life really. When that happens often enough, you start to dismiss yourself.

Somehow though, the universe has a way of getting you back to where you belong. Trust and patience are required.

Fresh eyes can change the whole story and the path we are on.

We are always exactly where we need to be.

Sometimes I don’t even know why I’m mad, but I can feel it there, lying in wait under the surface. Spirit has something to say about it…
