Learning to Embrace my Imperfections
I pulled this card today, and I wanted to share it with you because it’s the perfect message right now. It asks “What can you release to connect to the source of your power?…” It’s perfect because I’ve been beating myself up over having put my foot in my mouth a couple of days ago, and I’m still feeling bad over it and I need to release that out of me so I can connect with my inner power. Can’t do it if I’m holding on to my mishap, and putting myself down with negative self talk.
Sometimes I say something, or do something without thinking, it just comes out of me, and later it hits me and I’m like OMG!!! I can’t believe I said that or did that. When that happens I have a habit of beating myself up and making myself crazy with negative self talk. I should have known better. Whatever possessed me? Why didn’t I stop myself? I should have…and I’m thinking about how what I said, or did, is perceived by others or how it affected others and what must they think of me, and what can I do now to change it, and…OMG I just can’t believe myself… And the beating up on myself goes on and on…and all it does is make me anxious, stressed out and I feel even worse.
This is part of my growing and honestly, learning to embrace my imperfections has not been easy and I haven’t found that one quick fix yet. And hey, if you know of one please let me know because I’ll take all the help I can get here.
So here’s the wisdom this card offers – It’s during these times that I have to stop and remind myself that stuff happens and I’m not perfect. I’m still working on myself and instead of beating myself up, I should ask myself how is this barrage of negative self talk helping? Am I empowering myself right now? Look at it, learn from it, forgive myself and release it so – I can stand in my power.
If you relate to this message, I’d love to hear from you, feel free to share.

An Invitation for 2019
My intention for 2019… a sweeter life.
This year I’m inviting all of us to remember that we’re already cherished and loved by the one greatest universal force.
We’re invited to love ourselves without limitations and without guilt and as deeply as we can.
We’re invited to shed the light on who we truly are – magnificent – deserving – worthy – loving – healthy – amazing – resilient… humans having a life here, just one of many. Experiencing the spectrum of what life can bring us. Learning to navigate through the rough waters, our fears and the sun-shiny days.
We’re invited to remember that we are more powerful than what we think. That we can overcome, remove the walls, and reign supreme over our lives. We are the magic wands of our life. (here)
This is my prayer for 2019, my invitation – to share what I’m inspired to create and what I know about living a sweeter life. To cherish every moment even those that will have me fall off the wagon and into the pit, and the emotional break down ones, and that I can pull myself out and I can open my heart and be more and give more and receive more. And that I can, and we all can, shine our light a lot brighter than what we are.
So I invite you to join me on this journey in 2019 and live the invitation of –
a sweeter life.
With gratitude and love – Happy 2019!!! Wishing all health, prosperity, happiness, love, magic and lots of blessings!!!

Mindful Pause – Breathe
As we lose ourselves in the hustle and business of our daily chores – our to do lists, our have to, our work, emails, shopping, our family, exercise, cooking… As we rush to accomplish it all, we don’t pay attention to our breathing and we mostly take shallow breaths. And we do it without thinking. But today, make yourself conscious and become aware of your breathing.
As you go about your day, remember to just – b r e a t h e.
Pause for a moment, and mindfully take in a long deep breath. Let it fill your lungs, and breathe all the way down into your belly, bring it in deep, as far in as you can. Feel it filling your whole body, hold it for a couple of seconds, say thank you in your mind as you fill yourself with this wonderful beautiful air, and breathe out.
Pausing to breathe in mindfully and intentionally will energize you, open your senses, refresh you. It will calm you and bring you to a more harmonious state within.
B r e a t h e!
Feel free to share your mindful breathe pause. What did you do to remind yourself? 🙂

A Simple Way to Create a Little Altar
I love creating small altars that I can place around my home, they always fill me with great joy, like this little altar that I’m using as a table scape, that captures the season in a magical way for me.
You don’t have to spend a lot of money or go all fancy, just collect items that you already have. Let yourself be guided by your spirit and put together things that are meaningful to you, and feels good to you.
I used a serving platter and put pine cones that I’ve had for a couple of years, some of my crystals, the green branches from the flowers I bought yesterday, three tea candles, something I always have in my home, and the inspiration rock I bought for 99 cents at Hobby Lobby.
Every time I walk by it, I stop and allow it to work its magic and I say thank you, or I’ll say a little blessing. For me this is a sacred act of self-care, a moment in which I can get lost into and receive the gifts of Spirit.
I hope I’m inspiring you to create your own magical altar and I’d love it if you share it here in the comments.
Blessings
