Happy Monday Reader, here is your journal prompt for the week: Where has my thinking been too narrow? How can I expand how I am viewing this? What alternate options are there?

Hi Reader, recently the biggest question I have been getting is how to control the stress and overwhelm from everything that is going on in the world. There is a lot going, and even if you aren't paying attention to the news, you are most likely still picking up the energy. Especially if you are an empath or highly sensitive. The problem with this?

You were born to stand out. Everyone is meant to stand out. This does not mean everyone was meant to be famous. It means you are meant to stand out as unique and different from others - by being you. We are all meant to live a life that is authentic to who we are. To never stand behind others out of fear. Or ignore our gifts, talents, desires and needs because of others. Standing out is to believe that every day you matter. That you were put here for a purpose. To stop letting others tell you...

Newsletter Update: We are almost at that time of year where I take my annual break. This year there will not be a newsletter from December 21 - January 10 (restart on Jan 11).

In fact, this is typically when you need to keep doing them. So, let’s dig in and figure out if you need to make a change or what may have...

If this is you, I have an entire video on...

Happiness is a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city. - George Burns As we start to approach the holiday season with Thanksgiving in the US on Thursday, I wanted to share some ways to manage the energies and relationship energies we will face.

A few reasons, but the biggest is because we are...
