I woke up recently with this Albert Einstein quote loud in my head:
 
“The most important decision we make is whether we believe we live in a friendly or a hostile universe.”
 
That’s when I realized that I had been stuck in looking at the world as a hostile place, not only from a conflict in my personal reality, but all the war and conflict in the world. All the fears, all the traumas were coloring my experience.
 
But it's my reality and I can choose how to perceive and experience it. Therefore, I took my power back, and changed it to:
 
“I choose to see and experience the world as a beautiful and supportive place of magic and miracles.”
 
Now will that change the world you may ask? It’ll definitely change my personal world and as my personal world changes, that ripples outward to THE world. What you look for, you'll see. So, I’m rewiring my subconscious to see beauty, to see peace, to see support, to see miracles and magic.
 
Pollyanna thinking? No- creating my reality from a higher perspective. By my repeated focus on what I’m choosing to see, I’m shifting my reality.
 
The negative ego sees conflict everywhere, the soul sees opportunities to love.
 
Take your power back from a dark world view and make the decision to see things differently. Energy flows where attention goes. Put your attention on the beauty and light. You have the power to shift your experiences.


 
To help with this, I made a YouTube video teaching my favorite technique for taking your power back. Check it out here!

One of my favorite words lately is “grace.” Some of the dictionary definitions of grace from Merriam-Webster are: 

“Disposition to or an act or instance of kindness,”
“Ease of movement,”
“The quality or state of being considerate or thoughtful,”
 “Courteous goodwill.”
 
I've been really conscious of giving myself grace lately. The grace to rest as needed. The grace to move forward when motivated and pause when not. The grace to accept where I am, without comparison to others. The grace to make mistakes. The grace to allow the fullness of my human emotions, from the very dark ones to the lighter ones. The grace to know that even as I strive to become more and be my best self, I am exactly enough in this moment. 
 
Coming from the energy of grace allows more flow in my life and beautiful gentleness with myself.
 
Now apply these to yourself. Look at the definitions and think about ways in which you can allow yourself more grace in your life.
 
We sometimes think that grace is bestowed upon us, but it actually comes from within. Give yourself that gift.

I'm so excited to share that I was interviewed for VoyageLA Magazine and the article just came out!

Sunday morning, the 1st text I saw was that someone I loved and used to nanny for, had died earlier that morning. My shock was short lived as when I went down to make breakfast, he was right there with me as a spirit, excitedly sharing away.
 
Having experienced grief, I know how devastating it is. And certain losses, quite honestly I don't know how people recover from. AND simultaneously, I am so aware that the love never dies. It changes form but it's still there.
 
For some, that'll bring comfort. For others reeling from a profound loss, that may only bring anger because we want our loved ones here with us now, in body.
 
I get it, I really do. Even knowing what I do, loss is so unimaginably painful.
 
I made a short video about my experience Saturday morning, for those who wish to tap into the love that’s ever present. May it help anyone who needs it.
