shine on!

My kitchen window faces East and I am so blessed with a sunrise view! Yesterday, Mother Nature painted this picture:


I KNOW! Amazing right?

All kinds of wonderful was swirling through my head like a refreshing raspberry orange sorbet. Such a deliciously fresh start to my day. Then, within minutes it changed. The sun fully rose and my gratitude set.

This morning. I look out the window and dear Mother Nature painted this:


I KNOW!

It was like the Universe was saying - GO. Seize your day. So I want to share that with you. Follow your heart and walk through any doors of opportunity. Give yourself permission. Your scene may change, but behind all the clouds, there will always be a sun. 

Shine on!

the time is ripe now

The seeds were planted, nature took course and look what was produced!
What gift do you have for the world?


I feel that we're living in a purpose-driven world. More and more I'm hearing of wonderful ideas people have in using their gifts and talents to help others. Whether it's through writing, art, service or communicating - people want to give and make the world a better place.

I know, it can be scary moving forward and implementing your ideas, your dreams or that special project. I completely understand. It's easy to get caught up with self doubts, what ifs and "what will they think!?" Guess what?  

The time is now. 
Reach for the raspberry!

And keep in mind, the raspberry didn't evolve all by itself. It needed the sun for growth, the rain for nurturing, the gardener for pruning and it's vine for support. It went through it's nurturing and growth, weathering the elements to bring you one heck of a delicious piece of nature's candy. That is it's purpose. 

If you are unsure of what your purpose is or how you can use your gifts and talents to make the world a better place - just ask! Most people ask "What is my purpose?" try instead:

How can I serve?

Ask when you have time to yourself. Time to really listen for the answer. Turn away from the phones, computers, televisions and tune in to nature and your own internal wisdom. Your heart will lead the way, just be sure to follow it. I've learned that if it's in alignment with your true purpose - everything will fall into place. You'll start to experience small miracles and synchronicities. Take those as your signs that you are on the right path!



The ground will rise to meet you! This I know. You can even use my personal mantra if you need to:

"When I am consistently authentic, I am whole."

That always helps keep me on track!

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
With joy & gratitude,
