Take the Leap: Personal & Spiritual Growth Tips for the Journey
Is it just me, or does life continue to feel like it speeds up with each passing year? Throw some life goals and unfinished business into the mix, and the list of things to do just feels like a mountain of defeat. Before you start thinking, “Why try,” let’s look at the time you already have to hold a space for your growth.

Discovering You Again
As women we have multiple pressures upon us of what we ‘should’ do and be as a female in society. We are bombarded with these pressures from all sides—social and media expectations, family and work commitments, the constant advertising ‘goals’ we are supposed to accomplish, and the result is we are diminished as individuals. We ‘must’ look a certain way, dress a certain way, and be all things to all people—Mother, wife, homemaker, excellent worker, athletic, fashionable, friend—and the list goes on. It is not achievable, and we should not try, but societal pressures make us feel like a failure if we don’t ‘match’ the ideal portrayed on every advert.

Heart in a Jar
What a violent way to end. With my heart in a jar, sitting in a dusty shelf in some weirdo’s office... that is not what happened. And I am very much alive. Truly alive, as some would say... this is not Once Upon a Time (TV show, not for kids—thank you, ABC), where you can just rip someone’s heart out with them still breathing, alive and well. This is not about a jealous step mother seeing her step daughter, and wanting nothing more than her heart, so she could just be done with this narrative. No. My apologies to those who enjoy such stories (I am one of them). I’m speaking in a more figurative fashion. I put my heart in a jar, because it was causing a little too much trouble, and I saw where it was leading... nowhere.

The Emotional Scale
Emotions vibrate at certain frequencies. Learn about the frequencies so that you can take charge of how you feel. David Hawkins suggests that you can muscle test yourself or others to determine just where you are vibrating at. Are you enlightened? Are you depressed? These are two vibrations that are at either end of the scale.

The Key
At first glance it may look like just a key. In fact, it is just a key. It is what the key represents to me that really matters. It's the journey that led to the key. This is the key that opens the door to my future. It's the key to my passion and my purpose. It is the key to my souls mission. It's the key to my very own business. A business I built in my heart with the intended purpose of helping others find their light. I have finally discovered my purpose and I have never felt as free as the moment I held that key in my hand for the first time.

Using the "Feeling of Lost" as Power to Find Yourself Again
A friend said to me once, that she believes we each have a purpose and a design for our lives already drawn out and when we feel much resistance and strife it is because we have strayed. Many of us, many times, have felt this way. These could be signs from the universe telling us to redirect. It could be opportunities that we need to walk into for a lesson learned. I know personally I have been in that moment many times. Each time I've fallen, I've come back stronger and wiser. And with each piece of wisdom I've gained, I've also come to learn myself more. I have made many mistakes. I have strayed quite often. But each of those times I have discovered something beautiful, important and unraveling.

What Does It Really Take to Change Your Life?
There are a lot of programmes and products out there on the internet that claim they can help change your life. It's to the point where most of us just tune it out, even if we're looking for that content, because we're scared of getting scammed. And we should be, there are a lot of unscrupulous people on the internet.

Life's Fleeting Moments
Why is it that sunrises and sunsets are often so captivating and moving? Perhaps it’s the uniqueness of the colors blending and merging together to form a painting-like setting that can’t be reproduced elsewhere. Maybe it’s the sense of satisfaction that comes from seeing a new day born or see the old day fade to its end. However, I tend to think the beauty of these happenings lies in another part of its overall appeal.

A Moment of Thanks
Let’s take a moment and talk about the power of gratitude. I am so happy and grateful to be sharing my experience with gratitude. I started a daily gratitude journal and the effects have been absolutely amazing. Taking 5 minutes out of my day and writing 10+ things I’m grateful for has been life-changing to say the least. It is surely the fastest way to turn that frown upside down. As we all know, we cannot be both unappreciative and grateful at the same time, and the latter is far more of a positive feeling.
