Oprah is in Canada!! Last evening along with my sister and my daughter we spent the evening with Oprah Winfrey… one of the most influential and inspiring women in the world. Even though she is famous, she showed us just how she is like the rest of us. As she told us the only difference between being famous or not, is that people know your name. That's all. It all boils down to each of us … [Read more...]

Springtime: Master Cleanse

The booklet I used to do the Master Cleanse

This past week I have done the Master Cleanse. I felt due for a cleansing. I wrote a bit about it here. That first day was also an afternoon that caused me a bit more stress than usual with the power outage, but I managed to not allow that to derail me. Ten days ago I began preparing to do the Master Cleanse. For the first three days I ate only vegetable soups and made myself a few … [Read more...]

A Journey into the Soul

lost in thoughts

I am not this physical body. This body is the form in which my soul resides. My body is what I experience human life with on this planet. My body is the vessel through which I am learning my human lessons. My body is what houses my soul. I cannot see my soul with my eyes... but I know it is inside of me. It is my higher consciousness... higher-self... divine self. It is invisible. Yet I … [Read more...]

Listen to your own voice…

Leon Brown quote

This morning I thought I'd spend a few minutes on Pinterest. I was going there to do something mindless. That didn't last more than a few seconds when this quote jumped out at me and that was the end of it. That confirmed exactly what I have felt. It's time that I listen to my own voice. It's time that I listen to my own soul. And I am one of those people who has listened to the noise of … [Read more...]

Go Confidently in the Direction of Your Dreams

If I was talking pregnancy here, then this baby would be due. But I'm not, instead I'm talking about the amount of time that has passed since I pressed the button that would make my website (blog) go live at the end of April 2012. I had never been so nervous in my life. The 6 months leading up to that day I spent an incredible amount of time and energy figuring out how I would even do it. I … [Read more...]

Awakening to One’s Soul!

Awakening to my Soul

Lately the word Soul seems to be popping up often no matter what I am reading or listening to. Life has a way of showing us exactly what it is that we need. And that brings me to wanting to explore what my Soul is trying to tell me. I sense that there may be a little excavating that will need to happen to get me there. It’s time that I get serious and up to speed with my Soul. I know that … [Read more...]
