Happy March Full of Possibilities!!!
“There’s joy in the mountains; There’s life in the fountains; Small clouds are sailing, Blue sky prevailing;” ~ “Written in March” by William Wordsworth
Life is a journey of seasons and March is the season that brings forth possibilities, hope and a renewed sense of wonder and magic.
This morning I pulled up the shade on my window and the first thing I saw were my neighbors trees with blossoming flowers and it hit me – oh wow, Spring is here.
March is the month that opens the doorway to new possibilities. It’s the month that awakens Mother Earth, can you feel her stirring under your feet with delight?
For me March feels like I’m waking from a long slumber. I can feel a new energy in the air. It’s time to clean house, to re-examine what I’ve planted into the soul of the universe. What needs to be weeded out, re-thought, it’s the time to clear away and make room for something better and new.
I feel the possibilities that lie ahead, the movement of change and newness stirring.
Gift yourself the freedom to choose the perfect seeds for your growth. Pull out the weeds, kick away any stones, break down the walls that are blocking the sun from shining on your soul’s dreams.
Set new intentions that align more with your energies to bring your dreams to life.
Now is the time for moving forward in faith. Focus in. Move with courage and trust that your seeds are being nourished for the highest good. Bless them and allow the Universe to grow them.
Feel free to share your intentions, thoughts, your comments in the space below, love to chat.

You Have the Power Within You
You are more powerful than you believe yourself to be, more awesome than you give yourself credit for being, you have no limits in your imagination, your possibilities are endless and your love is infinite.
What a great way to end this month of – self love – than to realize and believe that you are powerful beyond measure, have potential within you that is unlimited, and hold the golden key to endless possibilities within you.
How much better self love can you give yourself than to believe that you are a miracle of the All Mighty that you are here to co-create with the Universal Force who can only happen through you.
You have been given the complete freedom to create your life as you dream it. You have freedom of thought and freedom of will and freedom of love. How much or how little you allow yourself of this freedom is totally up to you. You are the designer, the builder, the lover and the co-creator with Spirit of your own life. You are in charge and you can live in fear as a victim or you can move beyond the fear and live in glory, a victor.
As you open up to greater possibilities and believe that you are the co-creator of your life, that you hold the magic wand in your own hands and trust the Higher Power within you, your love for yourself will be greater, and from you – love will overflow into the universe. You will move from living in the dark to living in the light, and your life will change.
“The power is within you. It always has been. How far are you willing to expand the horizons of your thinking and stir that power awake.” ~ Louise Hay
Give yourself the love you deserve and step into your power, it’s waiting for you!
Are you ready to love you more? Are you ready to step into your own power? What has to happen before you can say, YES. Share your thoughts in the comments below love to hear from you.

Why Have a Ritual
I’m continuing February Love with Ritual – I love my morning ritual, it’s my totally alone time with the Universe. It doesn’t take me long and it makes all the difference in the world for how the rest of my day unfolds and feels. I carry with me the peace and blessings of this sacred energy for the rest of the day.
Here is where I stand and open to the mystery.
Here is where I am open, present, ready and willing to receive the gifts of our Holy Mother of Miracles Manifest.
Here is where I honor and give gratitude to all my angels, my spirit guides, my physical mother and father, my ancestors, my animal spirit guides and all of the celestial beings who are with me supporting me, protecting me, loving me and blessing me with their wisdom.
Here’s where I open myself up to letting the wonder and magic come in.
Here is where I declare every day that I expect miracles today.
Here is where I remind myself to step into my power.
Here is where I am in union with and consciously open my heart to Holy Mother.
Here is where I shine love, healing and blessings out into the world.
I start by lighting candles and incense and smudging myself and my space to remove and release all negative energies, all fear, and all thoughts that limit me.
I say my prayers
I bless everyone, myself and the Universe
I say my mantra 108 times while holding my mala beads
I say my affirmations
I give thanks
Here is where I declare to bring forth –
My highest light
My highest love
My highest visions
My highest service
My highest gratitude
My highest gifts
My highest health…
Enveloped in this love the tone is set for the day for me.
And when I’m done I write at least three pages in my journal, a practice I started after reading Julia Cameron’s, The Artist’s Way.
Rituals fascinate me, I started my practice only a few years ago it’s not something I grew up with. My parents were holocaust survivors, after the war they didn’t believe in God. There was no religion in my home and God was something to fear. My ritual which is always evolving has totally changed my life. It’s become such a sacred time for me that I’m jealous and protective of it, actually I get annoyed when I have an early morning appointment and I don’t have the time to savor the deliciousness of it.
Rituals hold power , magic and miracles within themselves.
I invite you and encourage you to create a ritual if you don’t already have one. It doesn’t have to be a long drawn out thing, it can be as little as five minutes. And it can be anything that brings you comfort and peace.
Sit quietly and tune into your body for 5 minutes.
List 5 things in a gratitude journal that you’re grateful for.
Stare into space sipping your coffe for 5 minutes.
Dance joyfully for 5 minutes in your home.
The list in endless. Do what feels good for you. You don’t have to have a morning ritual it can be at anytime, it can be out in nature, doesn’t matter. You don’t have to spend a lot of time, money or effort. It should be organic and come from your heart. If you can manage more time that’s great and if not 5 minutes is all you need to create a shift in your life and find the magic that is waiting for you.
Create a ritual for yourself that will empower you, fill you with joy, peace and wonder. And very important – have fun with it.

Give Yourself a Brake
“You don’t always need a plan. Sometimes you just need to breath, trust, let go and see what happens.” ~ Mandy Hale
I started out knowing exactly what I wanted to write for this week of February Love last week it was Spend Time With Your Dreams and this week it was going to be – clearing space. Yes, that’s what I planned, (so I thought) I even had a rough draft ready but as the days slipped out from under me it just wasn’t happening. I couldn’t get myself to read what I wrote, I didn’t feel it, I didn’t know how to write it, I kept on procrastinating every day and I couldn’t approach it, it was stuck inside me and I couldn’t get to it. It was feeling more like a burden than a joy, and I started to tell myself all the negative stuff that doesn’t serve me. Everyday that passed I got more frustrated and stressed at not being able to write it.
In all of this I forgot to have some self compassion for myself and give myself a break. Instead of stressing over this, beating myself up and berating myself, I needed to remember that every day cannot be the same, and sometimes the plans that we have so carefully and thoughtfully laid out, are just not meant to be, they are not happening.
“You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.” ~ Buddha
I forget that there’s a Universal Force that is greater than me and always knows what is best for me and for all. Opening to this Universal Force is not always clear to me, I stumble and resist until I realize wait a minute, let me let go and let the Universe do it. Maybe writing about clearing space was not meant for now, someday but not now.
So last night I went to sleep trusting that the Universe will give me the perfect words. This morning I opened myself up to allowing what wants to be written to come through, and here I am writing about letting go, allowing Spirit to shine through. I’m reminding me and you about – compassion for yourself, giving yourself a break, letting go, know that you’re always supported by a loving force and allow the magic to happen.
The love for this week…
Give yourself some self compassion – give yourself a brake – instead of beating yourself up over not being able to do what you had planned – get out of the way and allow what wants to come through. Be conscious of the Universal Force that knows what is best and let it shine through you.
And I have to say that this feels really good and perfect as I am writing it.
What about you? Are you giving yourself a brake? What do you do to give yourself self compassion. Are you letting Spirit shine through you? Leave a comment and let us know, love to hear from you.
Sending you lots of love and blessings

Spend Time with Your Dreams
So I’m following my theme for this month, February Love, a month of paying special attention to loving ME, and for this week I’m setting aside time to spend with my dreams.
Focus in on them – allow them to breath – make them larger – give them space – bring them to the forefront in my imagination.
“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.” ~ Harriet Tubman
Your dreams live inside your imagination and your imagination is fueled by your thoughts.
Spend some time with your dreams.
Bring them into the light.
Open them up.
Look at them.
Expand them.
Take a step towards them.
What are your dreams? Have you re-visited them lately? Have you paid attention to them and focused in on them? Have you brought them into the light? What are your thoughts about your dreams? Do they bring up fear or joy? –
Remember you are the dreamer and your dreams will not happen without you.
Have a question, a comment, a suggestion? Come and share, love to hear from you.
Blessings
