Bee Balm - What are you waiting for?
What is unique about you and what you bring to the world? What makes your heart and soul sing? What is your heart’s desire? Does this vibration resonate with your outer world and how you show up in it?
All is as it should be...
Once you are aware of the “cage” that you have built to keep you safe and comfortable with familiar outcomes and experiences—even if they don’t fulfill you or support you any longer—can you find the courage to break out of the cage?
Nettle: Tough Love
Conversations with plants require patience, like Nature's pace, and develop slowly over time, like all good friendships. It’s not like a human to human conversation at all and is more like a rambling series of thoughts and connections, feelings and inspirations that I must somehow make sense of...
The Bigger Picture
Why is it that when faced with a challenging situation, all wisdom seems to evaporate, and raw emotion steps in? How can we transmute past experience into present action?
Recognizing our Shadows
Now that I recognized this part of myself that I had buried away and hidden—out of fear, out of self-preservation, out of love—it was time to let go...
My Story
I now realize that although there is nothing particularly special about my story, the value of it is really about how I view myself. If I truly believe I have value, then so does my story.
Nevertheless She Persisted
Chickweed is tough and knows her power. She knows how to shine despite challenges and tough circumstances. And shine in the midst of it all she does, with fresh hope and confidence and understanding.
I Choose to be Happy
We clearly have a choice: to fully engage with and perpetuate our roles or perhaps to take a step back and realize that we are not our stories and experiences but merely players in the grand story of life.
Are you Listening yet?
As you expand your understanding of who you are, as you evolve and grow, it is often necessary to leave behind parts of your self, defined by your ego, that keep you small or unable to embrace growth and new potential.
Aligning with the way I want to show up in my life...
What I know is that RIGHT NOW I don’t need a strategic plan of my heartswork for the next year, six months or even the rest of the week, I just need to TRUST the process.
There is Enough
If we can relax and receive all of our experiences as opportunities for expansion and growth, even the painful ones, and see them as opportunities to constantly evaluate and reevaluate what is truly important in our lives—this is abundance. This is security. This is awareness.
The Masks We Wear
I can see my truth. I can see myself hiding and scared, afraid to show my true self. I can imagine the rejection, the shame, the discomfort. But this is where I need to go, into the darkness, where I am hiding. Because it is in these dark places that my light resides.
The Great Giveaway!
“I will always care what you think of me. Your love and approval fills my heart. The difference now is I no longer need or seek your approval, and what you think of me no longer has the power to undermine me. I know who I am and my heart is filled from within.”
Let it go already!
It’s no accident that the Dandelions are so abundant this year. Known for their great detoxifying properties, I like to believe they are doing their part to help detoxify the earth which is undergoing such enormous upheaval and change.
But Wait, There's More...
Self Heal addresses the special connection between your soul and your body, and encourages you to take responsibility for your own personal journey.
Growth Hurts...
Growth takes so much energy. Awareness of your self is the first step. Acting on this awareness is where the growth really happens. This is where a lot of us get stuck.
Home is where the Heart Is
I just want to feel settled somewhere. Secure. But Rosemary reminds me to come home to myself.
