Heart of the Soul

I believe in angels.  And, as a former skeptic, I realize that this isn’t something that everyone believes in. Sometimes the things that we can’t necessarily see become myths in our minds. Sometimes the things that we have yet to experience stay in the realm of the impossible. I used to roll my eyes when…

How would your world be different if you suspended disbelief – just for a single moment? If you allowed yourself to open your heart to miracles and believe that the world is a magical place. How would your life be different if you walked through your day imagining that every person you came in contact…

As I was cooking lunch the other day, I started thinking about how I tend to eat the same basic things – there’s definitely not a huge variety of ingredients. I guess I’m a creature of habit. I like my routine, and I get comfortable making the same recipes. As I was making my veggie…

I haven’t been getting enough sleep. I’ve been going to bed later and waking up earlier. I’ve been dreaming about work projects and waking up thinking about my checklist.

Imagine that you’re standing at the edge of the ocean. Bare feet, sun shining. You take a few steps into the water and allow the waves to wash over your toes and splash around your ankles. You look down and see pebbles of sand and vibrantly colored seashells. You feel absolutely alive and absolutely free.…

I live in a love bubble. It may sound cheesy, but it’s absolutely true. I didn’t always have this bubble around me. I spent many years of my life surrounded by people who either loved me but had a funny way of showing it. Or people who didn’t love me and definitely didn’t show it.…
