ImageWe are encouraged to have our daily intake of fruit throughout the year.  But we all know that there is something about fruit that is “in season.”  When fruit is “in season,” it is the juiciest and the sweetest…it is ripe to perfection.

During the Spring and Summer, many of us look forward to fruit being “in season.”  At this time, we happily partake in fruit salads, smoothies, and our favorite desserts topped with strawberries, blueberries, and other delicious treats provided by Mother Earth.

Have you ever had a piece of fruit that was sooo good that you just wanted to share it with someone because you couldn’t believe how good it tasted or because you wanted someone else to experience how Great that piece of fruit could taste?  Read more »

Awaken the Creativity Restlessly Sleeping Inside You!

If deep down in your heart, you love to sing and you never use your voice, it will speak louder in your subconscious, questioning your sense of self. If you love to write stories or poetry and you never put ink on the page, you’re going to feel that unused talent scratching away at you within.

Thoughts, emotions, and creativity are all forms of energy. Energy is meant to keep moving and when we stop its flow and keep it stuck, it intensifies. If we keep this up and keep it in for too long, that stale energy can wreak havoc spiritually, mentally and emotionally. And this stress definitely takes its toll on our bodies.” Chris Assaad, from Share Your Truth and Set Yourself Free!

I recently heard Dr. Brené Brown say that creativity unexpressed doesn’t remain dormant in our bodies but that it becomes toxic as unreleased energy. She also believes there aren’t “creative and uncreative” people in the world but rather those with the courage to be vulnerable and share and those who succumb to fear. I believe we all vacillate between the two extremes based on the choices we make from day-to-day and moment to moment.

When we choose not to develop and share our creativity in any given moment we license over to fear the highest part of our connection with SPIRIT (i.e., our ability to CREATE in the image and likeness of the ultimate CREATOR). And when we chronically hand our divinity over to fear in this way, day after day, our lives reflect and manifest our creative stagnation.

SHINE: Awaken By the Spirit — Accept Your Shadows, Awaken to Your Light!

Accept Your Shadows, Awaken to Your Light!

“Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.” - Brené Brown

Brené Brown, Ph.D., LMSW has spent the past decade studying vulnerability, courage, worthiness and shame. Brené’s 2010 TEDx Houston talk, The Power of Vulnerability is one of the most watched talks on TED.com, with over 8.5 million views. I blogged about her conversation with Oprah Winfrey on OWN TV a few posts ago.

Recently, I’ve poured over the pages of her book The Gifts of Imperfection, which I believe is an essential text for anyone — like me — recovering from the crippling dis-ease of perfectionism. Dr. Brown describes perfectionism as another very toxic form of fear and as a major obstacle to our ability to live with the type of authenticity only possible when we are vulnerable to the very things that perfectionists spend all of their time and attention avoiding … like the plague.

But what I’ve learned from my own spiritual journey, and what Dr. Brown explores and explains in her work, is that embracing the parts of our “life stories” we’re afraid and shamed of is the only way to experience love and belonging and joy in all of their spiritual glory. Read more »

pathway“Every positive change–every jump to a higher level of energy and awareness–involves a rite of passage. Each time to ascend to a higher rung on the ladder of personal evolution, we must go through a period of discomfort, of initiation. I have never found an exception.”

Iyanla Vanzant on the Power of Love

“In love, there is a total acceptance of self, and a willingness to give of self without an expectation of receiving anything in return. When you love, you are not afraid to share the truth of who you are, and you accept the truth of others without judgment.”

SHINE: Awaken by the Spirit — Tap Into Your Intuition

Tap Into Your Intuition

“In this busy multitasking rush everywhere world, your inner spirit may be your strongest ally. It is connected to a vast reservoir of pure wisdom, love and peace.  You can access and connect with your spirit through your intuition. When listened to, your intuition can be a remarkable tool for juggling all of the demands which greet you each day.”

~ Sherrie Dillard, OmTimes.com ~

thinking praying manYour intuition — born of your soul’s inner wisdom and divine guidance — is one of the most essential spiritual gifts and capacities you possess. Your intuitive sense is where your “wisdom whispers” are born and how Spirit helps to inform your co-creative decision-making process.

Intuition kicks in, for example, in that moment you first meet someone. It’s that feeling  you get that gives you valuable feedback about whether they mean you harm or good, whether they are tuned in or checked out, and of course, whether you should draw closer or run like hell in the other direction. It’s the moment of spiritual knowing at the cellular level before our brain has a chance to label, sort and instruct. Read more »
