As we move forward into the new year it’s a perfect time to reflect on the last 12 months. How did 2020 make you feel? What do you wish you could have done? What are you most proud of? Were there any lessons you learned? Do you have any expectations for 2021?

This past year was significant in many ways for me. I observed the world around me as events unfolded and was left pretty disappointed overall. But I know that I only have the power to change myself – and my life. So I looked within to find the solutions I needed to keep moving. This is always the answer. Only you know what you need to thrive. And I found that immersing myself in nature and avoiding all negative energy was the key.

I feel like 2020 was a gift. And by that I mean it helped me to focus on what matters and pay no mind to what doesn’t. I’m going to sit back with a smile and watch this new year unfold. Many changes are coming and I welcome them all. We don’t evolve when things are stagnant. And as always I look forward to creating, exploring and continue to have hope for new opportunities.

This year is going to be a good one because I have the power to make it possible. And nothing, absolutely nothing, will get in my way.

Goodbye 2020

I don’t think I am the only one who is happy to see this year end. However, I must say it has shed a great deal of light on my life. Despite the events that have happened I am still able to rise above it all and move forward. I appreciate the challenges because they only make me stronger. The way I see it, you have to find a way to make things work. And this year was a true lesson in doing just that.

As I get older and wiser I know who I want in my life and who I don’t, I have no patience for bullshit and refuse to allow negative energy to drag me down. There is just no time to waste. This life, right now, is all we have. We must make the best of it!

I acknowledge the beauty and blessings I am graced with and am beyond thankful for all of them. I sincerely appreciate the people in my life and am also grateful for the new friends I’ve made and the likeminded communities I’ve joined. Especially at a time when I could use the extra support. And as always I feel so lucky to have a fulfilling career and some of the best clients a girl could ask for.

I hope 2021 brings you all happiness, love and success. Stay positive and smile! Be the change the world truly needs – open your mind and spread kindness. Live your best life!! We all deserve to be wild and free ✌🏻Happy New Year.

Happy December 1st! As we ease into the holiday season I remind myself that life is what you make of it. This is not a dreary time, despite what is happening in the world. Staying positive and creating your own happiness is key. And there is no better time than now to be grateful and spread kindness.

I am going to enjoy this last month of 2020 and make it a good one. Not just for me but for Elliot too. I will continue to avoid drama, negativity and bullshit because my mental health is way more important. I promise to take care of myself like I do everyone else. And as always, I will keep moving forward and live my truth. Hope you all can make the best out of the next few weeks and end 2020 with your heads up and hearts full.

Mental Slavery

“Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery. None but ourselves can free our minds.” ~ Bob Marley

This is such an important thing to remember, especially when there is so much negative shit going on in the world. Because there will ALWAYS be dark vibes and bad energy – you just have to be strong enough to block it from affecting you. It is a choice.

Mental slavery is no good for anyone. And I see it everyday in people’s behavior and how they treat others. It seems some are so miserable and lost that they complain every minute to the world like that will change anything. It won’t. It hasn’t. And it never will. And honestly, no one wants to hear it.

Social media these days is a garbage dump for whining, threats, name calling, fighting, and constant repeating of the same old crap we have all been hearing for the past 2 years. This is a negative way of communicating and it just divides us all. And this country certainly doesn’t need that. But if we all just raise our frequency a bit and shift our perspective, it’s possible to move forward TOGETHER.

You have the power to create the life you want and no one can tell you how to live it. Free your mind of the darkness that consumes it and rise above the low vibes you might be spreading to others. It’s just not doing any good for you or them. Be positive, spread kindness, open your mind a bit and try to see the beauty that is truly surrounding you.

Peace doesn’t come from everyone thinking like you. It comes from accepting others even if they are different and learning to live as a united species. If we all could just elevate ourselves above the drama, chaos, lies and dark energy that lurks in society and turn our heads to the biased media and people in power who don’t give a shit about us THEN one by one we can rise up and overcome. That’s how you evolve for change.
