So, “eco-friendly art.” I’ve thought about this for a long time, but only now am I feeling a bit more “serious” in bringing it to fruition. I want to create beautiful art that is (more) eco-friendly. I’m thinking nontoxic, minimal waste, and preferably using immediately available resources. I’ve been feeling called to bring my work …

Peace of Mind Ingredients: a shower, or at least a splash of water on your face deep, slow breaths smile, feel easy about this moment the mantras “all is well” or “I am safe” or “I am peace” move your hands around, massage them gently, massage your face muscles breathe in peace, and then exhale …

Faith in Me It is one of those days when I need to breathe… where I question who I am. I turn my focus toward me. Space. To think and reflect, and to put myself back in a positive feeling space. I used to think I was simply withdrawing I don’t identify with those labels …

As I write this, I am clearing space for the Aries New moon, which is when I will be creating my Treasure Map for this year. When I first heard about Treasure Maps, I thought they were just like any other vision board, but I have come to find a special magic in creating them …

Written in my journal from the weekend: Today is a beautiful day. A “lazy” day of sorts. It is after all, a Sunday here on Guam, and what a great day to be lazy indeed. While it’s such a quiet-feeling day, it’s also filled with so many magical sounds! I made a video (my first …

Sooo… I usually do NOT like the word transition. Feeling in limbo can be so uncomfortable, as if we are neither here nor there. I’ve felt this MANY times in my life. Wanting to feel solid, HOME, clear and yet feeling that uncertain floatiness (technical term here) and oh the waiting! Well, I want to …

I completed the Uplevel Your Life mastery program in 2011, and the one thing that profoundly changed my life more than anything else was committing to going complaint-free. It didn’t mean that I never complained again, but that I am more aware and open to SOLUTIONS.  I’d like to share an article written by Christine …

A simple and easy way to feel relief and clarity is to pause and check in with yourself and your life. What’s going on right now? What needs to be done, what needs to be simplified? What are your next steps? Most importantly, how are you feeling? The other day a woman asked me why …

Do you need space? Are you often overwhelmed or scattered? Ever want to just crawl into bed, pull the covers over and hide for awhile?
