This month, I am honored to be part of a collaborative book project that includes stories by more than 250 authors describing how moments of grace were present in their lives.While there are many definitions of the word grace, to me, they all have this in common – that grace relates to being in and going with the flow of life. So, whether you are physically moving with elegance through a situation, or shifting with life’s changes through unexpected circumstances, it is how you act and react to your life experiences that demonstrate aspects of receiving grace in every phase of your life.

Mirroring our Changing Lives in Our Homes

While the change of seasons is an awesome time to shift the energy in your home by giving it a good, thorough cleaning; anytime is a good time.Our lives are constantly changing. Keeping the energy of our homes in tune with those changes will support us and help us to keep moving forward. Along with that cleaning, it’s also a great idea to get rid of things you no longer use, need, want, nor bring you joy. These things are clutter.

What pushes something into the category of clutter? And what types of clutter are we talking about? Imagine you are walking through a store and see a beautiful art work that you fall completely in love with and must have it in your home. Do you have any in your home now or any other similar object?

How I Find Joy Even in the Midst of Life’s Chaos

Joy is…. Getting Real!

There are times in our lives when we get so caught up in the chaos of life, that we get sucked into that chaos and forget the little things that can bring joy into our lives. Think of all the emotions and feelings that chaos can bring – fear, stress, mistrust in the future, worry, and more.

A few years ago, at work, I found myself caught up in nearly all of these emotions, and it took a few words from another person to snap my mind out of the vortex of chaos and provide me with the distance and perspective to reflect and re-evaluate not just my situation but the emotions I attached to the chaos. I truly understood that it was the emotions and feelings I attached to the chaos that was bringing unhappiness to my life. Continue reading “How I Find Joy Even in the Midst of Life’s Chaos”

Why Riding a Motorcycle is Like The Law of Attraction

Many years ago, as I was learning to ride a motorcycle, I was taught to look where I want to go. “Look through the turn” is what I constantly heard. “NO! Don’t look down.” Look where you want to end up and let your vision pull you, your body and the motorcycle there. If you look down, that’s where you’ll end up – on the ground. It sounds easy in theory; but for me, this was a difficult lesson to learn.

Recently, I heard the song, “Don’t Look Down” by David Ryan Harris from the Biker Boyz soundtrack. As I listened to the lyrics, it occurred to me that riding a motorcycle is like working with the Law of Attraction. The Law of Attraction teaches us to focus on where we want to be – to throw the anchor of desire into the future and let it pull and guide us to our desired destination through action. If we spend too much time “looking down”, or focusing on our current circumstances, what we will end up with is more of what we see and feel in the current moment.
