BUSY,
BUSY, BUSY! Most of us fall prey to these words given the pace at
which our lives move and it's not to say it is not real. It's very real.
However, as a receiver of these words, it can hurt if I'm longing for a
different outcome that would bring the love and warmth of connection I
long for in my heart of hearts. As a giver of these words, no doubt,
I've disappointed or saddened others as well.
Or... it may not be about a relationship, but that I've been in denial
about something more important that I need to take care of. Just
noticing as we move into 2014 that perhaps if we took pause a little
more this year without making ourselves so "busy, busy, busy" that we
would attend to what needs our attention most. Healing a wounded
relationship, nurturing artistic expression, having fun vs. work work
work, getting finances in order, etc. If you are using "busy" to numb
or avoid a situation that needs some fix'n....just notice...and do what
you need to do. Only you know....... be true to YOU. xo

The holidays are not always easy for everyone. It
can bring up the not so perfect parts of memories or the feeling of
inadequacy because your life doesn't fit that perfect picture this time
of year makes you feel like you must have. Silly, I know! But human
emotions can go deep and if there is still healing to occur, this
dysfunctional sensation can still be there. Nothing
is perfect. Not by any means. And when you think someone else has your
version of perfect... think again. In fact... don't think about it
all....JUST GET FUNKY... and get your own groove on! Why live someone
else's life anyway? Why let the media dictate how you are supposed to
feel and what your supposed to buy and how your supposed to celebrate.
YOU KNOW YOU! So just turn that internal groove back on and get down!!!
Life is to celebrate. To enjoy. To help one another through the hot
and not so hot times. We are all in it together and as soon as we let
down our formalities and stuffy conformed ways of being and realize that
we all are quite fun, unique and rather funky cool people... the better
off we will all be. SO GET YOUR FUNKY ON TODAY BY CELEBRATING YOU AND
YOUR TALENTED SOULFUL SPIRIT! Shake your groove thing! xo

Love
this about Compassion. HeartMath sent this out in their Holiday email.
For me, the word "compassion" by itself immediately melts tension away
and removes all underlying currents of negativity that can emerge from
old thought patterns, past pains and softens my own anger brought about
by my perceived ideas of what is right and wrong in this world.
COMPASSION has the ability to wipe that slate clean - a kind of warm blanket that has the ability to
seep inbetween the grooves and smooth out those jagged edges (a sort of
pepto bismal affect on your inner being - ha!) and open up to a bigger
heart of understanding so you can breathe again. Compassion is expansive
rather than restrictive. Expansion gives room to breath and allows
movement in positive directions. So grateful humans are wired to
possess compassion. Now, if we could all practice nurturing this. I'm in
for COMPASSION. How about you? Below is from HeartMath's founder, Doc Childre:
"At the core of our hearts I feel that we all care for each other and compassion is one of the highest ways to express our care. During this holiday season and unpredictable times, let’s remember to have compassion for those who are enduring hardships. Compassion is a most powerful and intelligent frequency within the love
spectrum. As we unconditionally express compassion, it intuitively
chooses its own way to administer its care – based on a sensitive
attunement to the higher need of the whole. When pure compassion is not
tethered to our agendas it weaves its magic, sometimes visibly yet often
unseen, but never wasted as it nurtures all within its radiance.
True compassion allows for the highest-good to manifest, which in many
cases is not what our personality would project, understand or try to
control. Unconditional love, acceptance and allowance are the
underpinnings of compassion in its higher vibration of effectiveness. As
our human intelligence spirals to the next station of enlightenment,
then collective compassion will become the baseline for the new
authentic expression of ‘who we truly are.’ Compassion is love and care
manifesting in the most ripened state of effectiveness for the whole."

All you have to really do is take a conscious inventory of what comes "at" you on a daily basis and ask yourself; Is this in my best interest? What is really being expressed here? Is it the truth or is there another motive at hand? Do I have to believe it or have it? Do I have to take part? Does it serve the higher good for others I share my life, community and world with? (as we are all connected and what goes around will and does eventually come around). When chaos abounds, it's easy to get angry, to ignore, to act in fear, or turn numb and busy yourself with "stuff" that has no meaning other than filling in your time, becoming sarcastic, buying something you really don't need or indulging in something that, if too much, is harmful. If not careful, it can be easy to end up not adding any value and contributing to the chaos ourselves. Ugh! I believe, now more than ever, it is important to invest in your soul; to put attention on connecting back to your inner guide of truth where you can find comfort, peace, joy, purpose, strength and a voice beyond ego to stand up and take action for the higher good. It's getting back to the root of who you are and learning to trust your instincts so that the strength of who you are and how you engage in life is in your hands despite the unequal disparity an ego-based greed society produces.
How to invest in your soul?
1. Invest in learning about YOU again - No matter how you were born into this world or what has happened along the way, at some point, it's important to realize the responsibility now belongs to you. Get on the path of self-discovery and healing to peal off the layers of outside conditioning in order to find the golden nugget of who you really are. Build that foundation of you. Dig those roots deep. Come back home.
2. Invest in your Tribe- Your tribe is your inner circle of individuals that "get you" without having to prove anything. It's the people you click with immediately. It's not forced. There are no ulterior motives or conditions to share space and time with you. These are the people that uplift your soul, they believe in you, they are honest with you, they help you move forward with support and love no matter what. It's a mutual respect. Invest your time to seek and nurture your tribe members.
3. Invest in your ability to Discern- Listen to what is being expressed from the outside but practice developing the strength of your inner guide by asking for Guidance and tuning into to answers as best you can so that you can respond and/or take action with as much clarity and integrity as possible.
4. Invest in being Engaged & Connected- Be engaged in life - listen to current affairs, have discussions, research and seek answers. Take responsibility for your part by participating - not just consuming and misplacing the trust of your well-being on others from a place of insecurity. Move with as much mindfulness and the best of intentions known at the present moment.
I think we (individuals, communities, nations, world) forget that we do not own anything in this world of ours or that we are somehow superior to others. To me, that is foolish and unwise because at any moment in time, at the hands of humans or Mother Nature, what we thought was stable and promised could crumble in an instant... and then what? WHO ARE YOU THEN?

If you're a dreamer.... wahoo! You are full of ideas that are inspiring, you think out of the box to create unique solutions, you think big and in the realm of possibilities and chances are, you're really fun! Others may not understand your dreamy, lofty thoughts, and who cares; however, if you are not strong in knowing who you are, you may let their opinions squash your dreams. Phooey!!!!
I am in support of those who need to create in order to feel alive; who need to dream and see the beauty in simplicity as well as complexity in order to give life purpose and meaning. To allow others to dictate how you feel, express yourself or make choices is probably the most harmful thing you can do to yourself because you are living out of integrity with yourself. If you can't love and be who you authentically are, then your spirit will not thrive...it will eventually wilt and then, sadly, die. Don't give up! Don't let your dreams wane by listening to others. Express yourself fully now! Who cares if you look silly. If it makes you laugh, do it. If you makes you feel good, do it. If you lose track of time and can't wipe that silly child-like grin off your face, then do it. Allow yourself to be who you are no matter what age, race, gender Learning to express yourself will also help you during rough times and often is when you need it most. You will always be able to find joy and purpose in your life if you are expressing who you are. You were not a mistake to be in our world at this very moment and time...so live up to your potential now by having fun expressing who you are right this very moment! I did......the above is a self-made video that is certainly not perfect or originally intentioned to be used in a blog, but I sure had fun with the creative process.

I offer a FREE 30min Discovery Session over the phone as an opportunity for you to begin to discover your path of health and wellness towards self-expression.

If you are an over-thinker, then this is definitely for you. I'm in my head a lot. I've been told I think too much and well....I guess I have to admit that yes, I do think too much. I also love to exercise and get cranky if I don't move my body. When I "think" about it (oops, there I go), I wonder if exercising is a built-in mechanism for me to help me with my over-thinking head...OR are they separate matters. Regardless, I love to exercise, and I do it not just to keep fit, but because it does help me feel better. When given the choice, I also choose to be outdoors since there is a sense of freedom due to the expansion of space and the extra stimuli of nature all around me. Movement is always a winner for me to get out of my head. No matter what form of exercise or activity I choose, movement definitely helps me to: 1. Release overwhelming thoughts that bring me down; 2. Get off my pity pot; 3. Forget my concerns; 4. Be present so that I am living in the moment; 5. Appreciate the world around me keeping life real and simple; 6. Gain clarity and peace of mind; 7. Feel FREE! Check out my latest Movement to Get Out of My Head:
So for all you over-thinkers out there, move your body to get out of your head! You will definitely feel better, get unstuck and keep moving forward towards the path meant for you.
Still not motivated? I can help. I offer one-on-one coaching to get you moving by listening, guiding and making you accountable to reach your goals and to open up possibilities. Contact me now to set up a FREE 30min Discovery Session. Don't think about it.....just do it! To your soulistic adventure,

I've been dance skating in Central Park since 1996 with the Central Park Dance Skaters Association and hula hooping since I was a little kid, but nothing too tricky until getting certified with Hoopnotica a year ago to actually teach hooping to adults for a fun, expressive fitness activity, however, this was the first time I combined the two and took a hoop to skates! I certainly wasn't prepared to make this look pretty or to have a really cool outfit on, so it's rough, but I'm sharing this to inspire others to get out there and have fun! It doesn't matter how old you are (I'm 47). Having a child-like spirit will keep you young, fit, and in good health in body, mind and spirit.
So go ahead, grab a hoop, dig out your old rollerskates and GET MOVING! Have fun in life and enjoy expressing yourself by doing what you love.
Need some help or motivation to get MOVING? I help you open up to new ways to move your body by focusing on joy and fun. When you do that, you will automatically improve your body, mind and spirit.
