When was the last time you put your bare feet on the earth? Removed your shoes and socks and put your feet right in a luscious patch of green grass or on a sandy beach? Whenever I do, it makes me happy and i feel like a child again. Grounding also know as earthing is putting the body in direct contact with the earth.

If you’ve followed my blog posts, you may know how much I love trying new services that help balance my mind, body and soul. Last week I tried something new and booked a spa session for a float tank. If you’ve never heard of one, stay tuned.

I’m always reminded of the saying, “April showers bring May flowers” each spring. It’s been a wet season which lends itself to the blooming flowers and the budding trees. It’s nice to remember, with the rain comes the sun, and if we’re really lucky a rainbow. One could use the saying as a metaphor for life because everyone must experience stormy weather in order to bask in the sun.

Last week the sun’s been out more times than not, and the weather has been creeping up into the “oh, my gosh, let’s get outside” temperatures. Bring on spring, mild temperatures and new life.

The name of the class immediately got my attention, Floating Sound Bath. As I read the description, I thought to myself, “I should sign up for that class.” Then went on with my day and it fell off my radar until just a few hours before the event. I decided then and there to just go for it and clicked the book and pay now button.

Sometimes life is hard. As adults we have a lot to juggle from jobs, to children, to laundry, bills, cooking, cleaning, parenting, care-giving; the list goes on. We are doing the best we can. When we find ourselves feeling defeated or less-than, I guarantee that inner critic is doing the victory dance in the end zone.

Have you ever worked hard on a project, one you were excited and proud of your accomplishments, only to be told you missed the mark? This happened to me recently and I had to step back and take a hard look at my why.

There are 12 Universal Laws to life: vibration, attraction, divine oneness, compensation, polarity, correspondence, inspired action, cause and effect, relativity, gender, perpetual transmutation of energy and the law of rhythm. Understanding and aligning with the laws can help you understand why things are the way they are.

I’ve known for a long time that drinking lemon water in the morning has many health benefits and even though I’ve done it in the past I’ve ended up quitting without realizing. I’ve run out of lemons and then forget to buy them, therefore delaying the morning cup. I’ve never really established a clear routine.

Some days are better than others, but I’m working on most days being better. As many of your know, I’ve been on a path of transformation for several years now. HA….you’ve probably thought to yourself, “When is she ever gonna get there?” My simple answer is never. Life is about the journey and not the destination.

People…..I kid you not, this all happened in just a few days. Law of attraction is no joke. We get what we focus on. If it’s doom and gloom that’s what we’ll attract, but if it’s appreciation, kindness, and goodness, it’ll show up again and again.

Fast forward to now … I want to take the younger me into my arms and tell her how bright her light is. That she is special and can do hard things. That it’s ok to fail and learn valuable lessons from those mistakes. I want her to know she was born to shine and to help others see their own radiance. I want to tell her that I see her and I love her.

As many of you may know, I’m always trying new things that expand my learning, better my life, create more fun, and in general bring me joy. I was recently listening to a podcast that invited the listeners to try something new to bring goodness into the day. As I continued listening, I knew I wanted to experiment for a few days and would record my findings to use in this week’s blog post. I immediately enlisted my daughter to join me.

February happens to be one of my favorite months of the year. Not because it’s winter, or the second month of the new year, but because it’s about honoring relationships, love, and Valentine’s Day. Each year I look forward to celebrating the month of love with the special people in my life. I admit, I’m good at doing for others, however, not very good at allowing others to do for me.

February 2, has a completely different meaning in many parts of the country based on the 1993 movie Groundhog Day. The main character keeps repeating the same day over and over until he learns valuable life lessons. “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” - Albert Einstein

Lately, I’d been feeling like my body was starting to let me down. Getting older shouldn’t mean doom and gloom. It should be about using what we have while making the most of it right now. Our amazing bodies support our physical being, mind, and soul.

In last week’s blog post, I asked you to avoid looking through the green-eyed glasses of jealousy and envy and instead see things differently by using the following sentence, “I want some of that.” As a follow-up to that suggestion, this week I’m asking, “What’s currently working in your life, right now?” Make a list mentally, or grab a pen and paper and start jotting them down.

The Merriam-Webster dictionary describes the meaning of envy as, “the feeling of wanting to have what someone else has.” Can you relate to these words? In this new year, I invite you to do and feel something radically different. It will take the pressure off comparison and will actually make you feel better, and dare I say satisfied. Read on my friends.
