Magical Monday was about the messages I received via my Bubble Goddess spa experience on Sunday. One of the messages expressed in more than one way was, “Learn to say ‘no.’” This simple two-letter word that we all used so freely as two years old–and maybe again in our teens–seems to become more difficult to speak for many of us… (more…)

On Sunday, I was struggling with issues relating to my family’s needs versus my own personal and work-related needs. I found myself journaling about this yesterday morning.

About a week ago, I received a payment from one of my clients. Enclosed was a note from her that included the reflection I’ve included below.

This morning when I checked my email, I found the following message and link from one of my Bubble Goddess clients. I’m so grateful to her for passing this along.

The founder of Bubble Goddess Bath Co., Jennifer Leete, does a presentation called, “Is There Cancer In Your Lotion?” The premise is to show people that many, many products have ingredients that are harmful to us and our families. Once participants go home and do some of their own investigation, they usually realize that even some of the most well-known… (more…)

We are so fortunate to live in a time when we have so much information and technology at our fingertips. But is life easier? Somehow I believe the more ways we are able to communicate with each other the busier we feel. All of this busyness can lead to mental and physical overload. The more overtaxed we become, the more… (more…)

Today feels like a very magical day for me. It is November 2nd–All Souls’ Day for many. And…it is the day of the full moon. November’s full moon is called by some “The Frost Moon.” The photo you see is last year’s Frost Moon. As I described in yesterday’s message, November is a very magical time. It is the pause… (more…)
