This piece is a free write following my morning meditation. For me it is a reminder that we are all one. One with each other and our creator.

If you have read my previous posts you already know that I started out my adult life with a job, college and a family to support. Although very much in love and happy we struggled financially to make ends meet early on and rarely had any money left over for “extras”. My husband and I survived primarily on bologna and mac & cheese so that we could afford diapers and formula for our son Matthew. In fact, I can remember coming home to a package of Twizzlers and some Pepsi on my c...

Turn inspiration into creation!

With all of our hectic schedules it’s easy to get wrapped up in the chaos. Many times the very best thing we can do for ourselves is to take a couple of minutes to just breathe. Clear the mind and focus only on our breath in and out. Breathing in the good and exhaling any negative feelings/energy. Even a few moments devo...

Although much less popular I must also admit that this time of year has not always been easy for me.
