"Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we’ll ever do." ~Brené Brown
“This entire thing we're involved with called the world, is an opportunity to exhibit how exciting alienation can be. Life is a matter of a miracle that is collected over time by moments, flabbergasted to be in each other's presence. The world is an exam to see if we can rise into direct experience. Our eyesight is here as a test to see if we can see beyond it. Matter is here as a test for our curiosity. Doubt is here as an exam for our vitality.” ~Timothy Levitch
"The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper." ~W.B. Yeats
“We are all connected; to each other, biologically. To the earth, chemically. To the rest of the universe, atomically.” ~Neil deGrasse Tyson
"There is no need to run outside for better seeing. Nor to peer from a window. Rather abide at the center of your being; for the more you leave it, the less you learn. Search your heart and see the way to do is to be." ~Lao Tzu
"Feelings are just visitors. Let them come and go." ~Mooji
"Only in quiet waters do things mirror themselves undistorted. Only in a quiet mind is an adequate perception of the world." ~Hans Margolius
“Honesty and openness is always the foundation of insightful dialogue.” ~Bell hooks
"Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness. How do you know this is the experience you need? Because this is the experience you are having at the moment." ~Eckhart Tolle
“Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand and melting like a snowflake.” ~Francis Bacon Sr.
“Whatever you did today is enough. Whatever you felt today is valid. Whatever you thought today isn’t to be judged. Repeat the above each day.” ~Brittany Burgunder
“Let today be the day you stand strong in the truth of your beauty. Journey through your day without attachment to the validation of others.” ~Steve Maraboli
“Experience life in all possible ways -- good-bad, bitter-sweet, dark-light, summer-winter. Experience all the dualities. Don't be afraid of experience, because the more experience you have, the more mature you become.” ~Osho
“An assumption develops that you cannot understand life and live life simultaneously. I do not agree entirely. Which is to say I do not exactly disagree. I would say that life understood is life lived. But the paradoxes bug me, and I can learn to love and make love to the paradoxes that bug me. And on really romantic evenings of self, I go salsa dancing with my confusion.” ~Timothy Levitch
"Flowing will get you places forcing never could." ~Spirit Daughter
"Sagittarius encourages us to remain open and non-judgmental, allowing for the expansion of our consciousness and the discovery of our life's higher purpose." ~Spirit Daughter
“Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.” ~Albert Einstein
I am grounded, steady, and whole. I trust in the earth’s embrace and move forward with clarity and purpose.
"When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid." ~Audre Lorde
“I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by.” ~Douglas Adams

As we sense the beginning nudges toward the holiday season (and all of its attending feels), I thought that with this Book Report I would share a gathering of new tarot decks for intuitive support, and a couple of gems on the importance of pausing on the path...
The way out is in. Mindfulness and the radical insights of Zen meditation can give us the strength and clarity we need to help create a regenerative world in which all life is respected.
This Book Report highlights a collection of inspirational offerings intended to support us as we make our way along our path. Included are some noteworthy books on the healing powers of nature, how to take better care of ourselves, a couple of magical novels, a handful of memoirs, some wonderful children’s books, and one of my favorite poems by William Stafford.
Before we all get caught up in the sweet madness of the holiday season ahead, I thought I’d turn our attention toward some more intimate offerings. What follows are a collection of resources to support and inspire our hearts with what really matters, what’s really real…and, of course, it’s love, actually.
The year is filled with mystical dates, we don't always know when and how to celebrate them. By knowing and preparing for these special days we can use their inherent power to change our lives. Daily Magic is a spiritual daily calendar that give us the power and the tools we need to take control of our destiny!

When we honor our unique gifts, amazing feats of creation are possible. Here are three stones for drawing out talent and creativity, improving decisiveness and finding solutions, and drawing on your greatest strengths.
As the New Moon in Aquarius brings out our free spirit, independent-thinking, world-changing expansive selves, here are a selection of crystals for holding on to our peace of mind, our fundamental feelings of serenity and trust in life, and a sense of own wholeness.
“When we are in touch with our emotions, our needs become known." That is the gift of the Leo full moon. Here are three crystals that can help identify, interpret, soothe and "roll with" feelings arising in the light of the full moon:
As the New Moon in Capricorn encourages us to take a look at the "earthy" qualities in ourselves, this selection of crystals encourages a practical mindset, and into harmony with the natural realm.
Cancer, a water sign, is known for diving deep into the emotional realm, and using its water-like moods to take negative energies and transform them into soft ripples of positivity...
Cultivate an enlightened perspective, communicate from a place of love, and make decisions based on the deepest intuitive wisdom...
“There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.” ~Edith Wharton
"I pray this winter will be gentle and kind, a season of rest from the wheel of the mind." ~John Geddes
“Lammas is a time of the fullness of life, and a celebration of the bountiful and abundant Mumma Earth. The main themes of Lammas are to give big thanks, high fives and deep bows to the Goddess for Her bountiful harvest, and to state your hopes and intentions for what you wish to harvest, sacrifice, or transform.” ~Lisa Lister
“Attention is the beginning of devotion.” ~Mary Oliver
Shift energy with dancing, and journal to open the heart. We approach ourselves with a gentle curiosity, and are rewarded with access to hidden treasures of insight and experience.
Clarify the inner knowing and draw out answers that are personal, resonant, and transformative. The Work, an insightful process developed by Byron Katie, helps us question our stressful thoughts and beliefs, and through that questioning the thoughts lose their power over us.

Our inner beauty, that magical, numinous energy that radiates from us a bit like our charisma, is a force that can be hard to fathom. Yet here is a way to allow it to radiate more brightly, and to feel this energy flowing all around you.
"Oh, the glory of growth, silent, mighty, persistent, inevitable! To awaken, to open up like a flower to the light of a fuller consciousness!"~Emily Carr
“Nature pulls us up when we feel down, worked up, and vulnerable. It takes us out of our neurosis, shakes off the cobwebs, and helps us to mentally refresh. Nature shows us the way of the cycles and impermanence of all things and awakens the heart.” ~Dr. Michelle Kambolis
“I’m here. I’m free, and I can imagine anything. Everything is possible. I only raise my eyes and once again, I become the world.” ~Marion the Trapeze Artist, “Wings of Desire”
