Attraversiamo
LET’S CROSS OVER
I’m so glad you’ve made the choice to cross over with me! My favorite word is an Italian word – Attraversiamo. It means “let’s cross over.” (Yes I stole it from the movie Eat, Pray, Love).
The photo of this bridge was taken at a pivotal time on a trip to Sea Ranch, CA. If you linger a bit and choose to walk this bridge with me, I warn you that your life will never be the same, as my heart touches yours and you learn more about my passion to LET YOUR GLOW SHOW! My heart is to connect with yours and build a lasting relationship as I envision walking hand in hand with you on this journey. A journey to live your inner light, all your gifts, instead of denying or ignoring them in a paralyzing search for the permission slip to be YOU.
The GREAT NEWS is that you will no longer be stuck, living in the mire of
have-to / supposed-to.
You will, maybe for the first time, know YOU – all of you!
My purpose and message is simple:
You have an inner light – a purpose – and you are enough!
The second step is to check out my books. Fireflies is my first novel and Let Your Glow Show is my free eBook that capsulizes my passion and will guide you through soul nurturing, new perspectives on the truth about Love, which is the path to LET YOUR GLOW SHOW! I am also a contributor to Goodness Abounds which is a wealth of inspiration and encouragement. I

THE MAGIC OF BREATH
Are you breathing just a little, and calling it life?
I’ve been practicing breathing techniques and enjoying the spiritual and physical impact for years. But in times of uncertainty and grieving our losses, there’s a tendency to take things more to heart, notice things.
For some it will be letting the negative take up space in your heart. We all know there’s plenty of negative to take in. But do you hear the comforting voice asking you to notice what’s really important? Notice the gift of breath as your body grasps for it?
As I pay more and more attention to my breath, it makes me think of all the breath being lost with this virus. It is respiratory, paralyzing lungs and literally taking breath away, forcing a pseudo to replace the breath of life.
The breath is delicate.
And magical.
DON’T LOSE HOPE OR ACCEPT PERMANENCE
I’ve been noticing a hidden danger as we all process and adapt to current circumstances. I first noticed how closely my present feelings resemble those of past grief and losses. I know those feelings all too well! I believe it feels so similar because it’s true, we actually are grieving our old way of being and doing, and are experiencing real loss, along with the uncertainty of not knowing how it will all play out or how we will move forward.
THE OPPORTUNITY TO REBOOT
We are all being forced to rearrange and live our “normal” in new and uncomfortable ways.
Yes, it’s difficult, and not without the anxiety of the unknown. But maybe it’s the best time ever, as many are finding, to rethink, reassess and seize the opportunity to connect with friends on a level that has actually not been a part of our “normal.” Also a time to create, or do all those things you put aside, under the premise of “I don’t have time.” Well, now most of us do.
WHAT THE……..
The problem is, you can’t figure out an uncharted path. We’ve been given the task of charting a path we know nothing about. We are doing the best we can to walk through something that is changing moment by moment. We learn as we go with those dreaded first time jitters and this can’t be happening jaw drops.
EERILY FAMILIAR
Over the last week or so, I’ve found myself feeling eerily familiar with the emotions so many are experiencing at this time.
VISION WILL SHOW YOU WHAT THRIVING LOOKS LIKE
Can I tell you a secret?
Dream those dreams, even if not out loud. Sit and smile at your visions. They are part of you for a reason! They are the core to a life that thrives! It is the sun to our souls.
THE MYSTERY OF LOVE AND LOSS
No one can face what is yours to face or feel what is yours to feel. The hard truth is that we will all love and lose. Even harder, no one knows why. The more we use a plethora of ways to avoid it, the less love we will live.
Knowing love and loss is the mystery that brings us deeply alive.
OH, THOSE SUCKER-PUNCHES
You know, the ones we all get, the ones we never see coming, out of anywhere and nowhere.
It can be a betrayal, loss of a job, a car accident, loss of a loved one. This time for me, it was a health situation. It’s true, many people deal with ongoing health issues every day all day and I’ve been witness to how difficult and spirit crushing that can be, enduring ongoing, time-consuming doctor’s appointments, treatment, along with the financial strains they can cause. But here, I’m talking about sucker-punches of any kind that literally make your head spin.
SELF-DOUBT IS A BULLY
At some point in your life, you were bullied and so was I. Some more than others, but no one escapes it fully. No matter how much or how deep we were bullied, it created self-doubt and for many, self-hatred. In fact it forms from a young age your perspectives and beliefs about the world and yourself.
