Happy Canada Day to all who celebrate. This beautiful view from my visit a few years back to the beautiful Moraine Lake in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada.

PRIDE ~ All the colors of the rainbow. I’m proud

PRIDE ~ All the colors of the rainbow. I’m proud to make these Compassion bracelets with lots of different gemstones and findings from all over the world.

I love that no two are alike and the gemstones, beads and sterling silver are all different sizes and shapes, just like people.

I hand string these one by one on a high quality stretch cord and use a surgeon’s knot with a dab of glue then hide it in a large hole bead. I infuse Reiki energy in each one. Coming soon to my Linktree. DM if you’re interested.

Enough is enough. You politicians have crossed the LINE and we are not going to allow this to continue.

It is time for women to STAND UP for our rights to CHOOSE what we want to do with our bodies!

Our sweet Bella wishing everyone a happy and safe

How magnificent is this sky?!!

While it looks like the sun is visible in this photo, what you are seeing is actually a beam of light coming from beneath the horizon.

What a great life metaphor! Even when the sun isn’t clearly visible, it’s still out there somewhere shining it’s light brightly! Just like you and me.

Stumbled upon this beautiful scene recently and the lovely girl graciously posed as I raised my iPhone to capture the sweet moment. I have never seen a dress like this gorgeous piece!

If any of you know her, please message me so I can share it with her. I didn’t want to interrupt the flow of her photo shoot. This was taken a couple weeks ago @longwoodgardens

Mother Nature in all her glory! Just being her bea

Mother Nature in all her glory! Just being her beautiful self. Showing up exactly as she is in the moment.

We too, are a part of nature. It is in our nature to be exactly as we are. Watch a child to see what it’s like to be unfiltered. Sadly, generations of culture changes people so they conform to age old and often outdated ways of being.

Have you ever noticed that you hide parts of your true nature?

It’s not your fault. It’s in our DNA to fit in with the “community.” This literally goes back to cave man times when it was “safety in numbers” or get eaten by a bear!

Maybe you hide parts of your truest self to make others feel more comfortable? Or, you don’t share your actual wants and needs for fear of being seen as selfish? (That was me for years.) Or, how about hiding parts of yourself for fear of what others may think of you? Let’s face it, nobody likes to be judged.

Questions for you to ponder… Are you always showing up as your “truest” self? If not, where can you be more authentically you? What would happen if you stopped people pleasing? (I’m still a work in progress, but waaaay better than I was.)

Here’s a little Mind Body practice to help you gain some clarity…

Close your eyes for a minute or so. Take a few deep breaths.
Simply imagine for a few minutes how freeing it would feel to just be yourself? Fully accepted and safe.

How does that feel in your body?
Notice any physical sensations you may have.

Take another deep breath and when you’re ready, open your eyes again.

How are feeling now? I’d love to know. Please share in the comments or DM me.

Joyful greetings to you all today! Any other Ted

Joyful greetings to you all today!

Any other Ted Lasso fans out there? I was recently gifted this lovely, one-of-a-kind cross stitch piece handmade by my wonderful friend @msnitaapple

He’s the sweet character Dani Rojas who shares his JOY with everyone around him! A personal goal of mine too.

I love it so much especially with everything that’s happening in my country and the world lately.

I find it hard some days to, “keep the faith” but reminding myself of the beautiful gifts of love and friendship that surround me is healing and joyful.

I have this cherished piece front and center as a daily reminder of life’s joys. Swipe left for another beautiful surprise, (gorgeous flowers) I received last month as a belated birthday gift from my dear friend @amy_a_gray.

These are visual reminders that life can hold these dualities. I can feel all the JOY, love and goodness amidst the chaos and darkness.

YOU can too.

A little free coaching…

Feel ALL of it. Notice the physical sensations you have in your body, (not just your mind) as you sit quietly and allow the feelings to exist. Once felt, (don’t rush through, give it 5-10 minutes, at least) before releasing them.

Then CHOOSE what you want to put your focus on. Focusing on gratitude and joy works. But, you mustn’t ignore the other feelings. This takes some practice but will improve your nervous system regulation and sense of well-being. There’s scientific evidence to back this.

My lovely clients, fellow coaches and I practice this, (among other mind body tools) and it works wonders! If you’d like to learn more about this and the other practices for creating more ease and joy in your life, schedule a session with me. Link in bio.

Relaxing into the weekend like… What do you plan to do this weekend to rest, play or restore? I’d love to know.

Last night we joined some friends for a back yard fire, conversation and some s’mores. It was lovely and felt good for my soul!

🍫🍡🍥

Did you know that fire can be used to enhance your spiritual practice and support you by helping you let go of things that are no longer working and set intentions for positive shifts moving forward?! And, it’s naturally meditative so it contributes to a calm nervous system.

🔥🕯❤️‍🔥

Many fire rituals are based on the ancient ceremonies handed down from generations throughout the ages, in all cultures around the world.

Do you like sitting around a campfire?

Patience. In photography, as in life often times it takes a little patience to get the results we desire.

🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿

In this instance, these beautiful peony blossoms are only blooming for a short time each year. Additionally, since this is a public garden, it is usually packed full of people. Not to mention it was during a work day. I chose to put my work schedule on hold for a few hours to drive here in hopes of being rewarded by the gorgeous views.

What I did not expect was that I would have the garden all to myself for a matter of about 45 seconds, at which point I quickly snapped this beautiful picture.

Happy to share it with you along with the wisdom that often times is illustrated as a life metaphor in a picture form.

Sharing some beauty during this time of ugliness.

Sharing some beauty during this time of ugliness. I can’t even begin to express my frustration as an American citizen. I said it ten years ago and I’ve been saying it ever since…

There is NO REASON FOR ANYONE OTHER THAN THE MILITARY TO LEGALLY OWN AN ASSAULT WEAPON PERIOD, END OF SENTENCE. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN IN ANY OTHER COUNTRY!!!

Little man on a mission! 💙

Are you someone who can relax and unwind on a vacation or do you approach vacations with a sense of having a “mission to accomplish?”

I’d love to know what you want to achieve when on vacation and if you’re able to relax and enjoy.

Please share with me in the comments if you’d like!

Happy Monday to you! I love metaphors and especial

Happy Monday to you! I love metaphors and especially when there’s a photograph involved.

The universe gives us hints and subtle guidance all the time if we’re open to it.

What else can you discover if you look beyond the way you’re framing your issue(s)?

I help overwhelmed humans uncover old beliefs and narratives about their “have to(s)” in regard to life, work and family that are no longer serving them.

It’s such an honor to witness my clients as they transform their lives, seeing things in a different way, (re-framing) and taking steps to create a life more in line with what they care most about, believe on the deepest level and love!

If you’d like to know more about this and how life coaching can help you, schedule a 30 minute complimentary discovery session. I’d love to chat with you and see if I can help! Link in bio or feel free to DM if you have questions about life coaching.

Happy Sunday!

Did you know that you can create calm in your nervous system, (also known as regulation) by looking at pictures of a place in nature that you find relaxing.

Another way to do this is by closing your eyes, taking a few deep, slow breaths and imagining in your mind’s eye that you are there looking at, hearing and feeling nature in your special place.

How cool is that?! It really works too. I know because my awesome clients do it and so do I! It can be so helpful during stressful times and particularly handy during any anxiety producing circumstances.

If you’d like to learn more about this practice and other easy tools to help create more ease and nervous system regulation, feel free to schedule a complimentary discovery session with me using the link in my bio or send me a DM. Please share this with anyone who may need some support during these challenging times.

🌟 Friday Photo Tip!

📲 If you have an iPhone…

When photographing subjects other than people, try using portrait mode to soften the background.

Swipe to see the non portrait mode picture.

I prefer the first one that was shot in portrait mode because softening the background behind the flowers puts more emphasis on them.

💜 What do you think?

I hope wherever your path leads you today that it

I hope wherever your path leads you today that it will be sprinkled with both light and shadow.

You need to honor both. The shadow in you/us balances out the light. Your shadow gives you messages and cues about all kinds of things, including what your heart desires.

It’s wonderful to have desires. All humans have them, but sadly because of cultural conditioning you are often completely out of touch with your desires. Rather than tamping them down, you could explore them and ultimately create more peace and joy in your life by being more aligned!

This is something I help people to uncover and then they can move towards a more joyful life!

DM or schedule a complimentary discovery session with link in my bio if you’d like to learn more.

Life is such a delicate balance. ⚖️ As a hum

Life is such a delicate balance. ⚖️

As a human on the planet, you are constantly balancing things in your life:

⚖️Work and play.
⚖️Spend or save.
⚖️Effort vs. benefits.
⚖️Comfort vs. fears.
⚖️Exercise or rest.
⚖️People pleasing vs. boundaries.
⚖️Standing up for what you believe in vs. sticking your head in the sand.

👉🏼 So many decisions on a daily basis can cause you to go into auto pilot. When this happens, your mind, body and nervous system are simply doing what they’ve always done without connecting to your deeper wisdom. This is WHY CHANGE can be so DIFFICULT.

If you want to change but don’t know where to begin, I can help guide you to learn tools and practices that will transform the way you are currently navigating through your life. I create a safe container for you be 100% yourself. We work as a team to customize a plan that will help you as an individual to achieve your goals and increase the joy in your life.

My clients learn simple ways to become more mindful, aligned and present. The practices and tools will help reduce anxiety, manage fears, increase confidence and most importantly, create calm in your nervous system, leaving auto pilot in the dust.

Once you learn to tap into your inner wisdom, you’ll choose your actions based on what your deeper self truly wants. This creates more ease and flow resulting in a happier YOU! It’s such an honor to witness the transformation in my clients.

If you’d like to learn more and see if we are a good fit, feel free to schedule a discovery session or DM me. Link is in my bio.

so excited that this photograph was chosen to be featured on the @southjerseyisbeautiful feed! If you haven’t already, I invite you to check out their feed! And, especially if you love beauty and the beach!

How my brain feels on a Monday morning.
😂🌵🤣

When that happens, it’s a good idea to slow it down by creating calm in your nervous system. This allows you to think more clearly and break tasks into smaller, bite size pieces.

This is what I help guide my awesome clients to learn about so they can live more peacefully. Specific ways that will work well for you, tailored to your individual system and way of being. We will create more ease and joy in your life.

There are many different ways to create calm in your nervous system so you can relax and think more clearly. This allows you to move through your day in a more relaxed state, while still checking things off your to do list. More importantly, once you learn these simple tools and practices, your life will become much more joyful. You’ll learn what you need in stressful situations and how to manage them in a healthy and productive way. You’ll wish you’d learned about this sooner!
