Sassy Spirit

One of the secrets to happiness that everyone knows is gratitude. People write lists in journals about what they are grateful for. They mean it. They mentally affirm it, but they don’t take full advantage of how powerful it can be. They don’t feel it. Like really feel it. They say all the things they’re supposed…

This gig as a human has a lot of misconceptions. One is that things are fair. Sometimes they’re not, in our opinion, of course. Like when someone dies too young. It really sucks. Not for them because we know that they are back to the source of all love, call it God, or a higher…

I am someone who once I decided to live outside of my comfort zone, I have found new ones I had to move past. It’s all part of the learning, growing, living, and learning cycle of life to me. Last year, I did my first public speaking gig as an author’s talk in my town, where…

Yesterday, I was riding along on a dreary and gray day. The wind was picking up and you could feel the impending rain in your bones. I looked over and saw an older woman riding her bike. Not around any stores but like she just wanted to ride her bike. I was perplexed, since I…

Whether you celebrate Easter, Passover, Beltane, or just celebrate Spring, you can feel a rebirth. When I smell the fresh air in spring, I am instantly transported back to being young. I remember it always symbolized possibility to me. The feeling of a new burst of energy. I’d think of all the things I wanted to…

Self-love could really be called Soul-love. The foundation of it being God’s love. When I realized that it really all was between me and God, life shifted. Rise above the mind and live in your Spirit place, realizing there is no place within yourself that you need to vilify, nor anyone outside of yourself you…

Tricked ya! I actually love exercise. Do I love it all the time? No. We never love anything all the time. . .well, except chocolate and sunshine. But I do love the feeling after exercise, every single time. I think of it as a metaphor for life and I get many insights when I exercise,…

I am really “woo woo.” But I’m very real too. I have always felt like I didn’t fit in. I did and then I didn’t. Often. I felt too weird for the normal people and too normal for the weird people. I would feel I had to be different sides of me, depending on where…
