  • Season 4 is here! This week on the show, I'm "diving in" to talk about the inspiration, intention, and actionable steps that help you find more joy. Plus, I'm sharing all about the NKOTB cruise, why you need to schedule in times of activity AND rest. And, how we can "hold onto the anchor" in hard times, with @DonnieWahlberg 's moving speech. I hope you'll join me!⠀ ⠀ You can find the show at bit.ly/joyitunes or at the link in my profile.⠀ ⠀ #lifebydesign #laughterhealsthesoul #dailykickstart #jumpstartyourjoy #season4 #podcast #trypod #nkotbcruisex #nkotbcruise2018 #happythankyoumoreplease #alignment #meaningful #bepresent #betheexception #choosejoy #purposefulliving #liveintentionally #soulfueledlife #creativeliving #loa #alignment #yinandyang #lunarabundance #warofart #bhlove #loveeternal #iamtitanium

  • Usually a lovely spot to walk, this is the view of Lake Elizabeth in Fremont today. This is the smoke from the Camp Fire, about 250 miles northeastish of here. We went out with our breathing masks and participated in the Pokémon Go community day. I got 9 shiny cyndaquils! And ordered another air purifier for the house. The smoke will be around for at least a few more days. #lakeelizabeth #fremontca #smokefromcampfires #campfire #smokeysky #smokeyskies #norcal #northerncalifornia #pokemongo #pogo #cyndaquil
  • Hazy smoke filled skies in Fremont - this is from the smoke from the Camp Fire. No filter on this, it was taken about 3:45pm. The air in the SF Bay Area is as bad as Beijing right now and you can feel it. My most heartfelt prayers for safety go to the people of Paradise and Chico, who have lost homes and loved ones. We are 4-5 hours (240 miles) by car from the fire for a sense of distance. #campfire #norcal #smokeyskies #smokeyskies #wildfire #northerncalifornia #fremontca #redsky #smoke #haze #silhouette #buttecountyfire

  • My Thursday night - Yesterday at 11:30am I found myself drawn to my tarot cards and so I did a reading. Trusting my own intuition and taking action was the message I received. And imagine my not-so-surprise to discover that was the exact time of the new moon. I’d bought Lunar Abundance last month, and started the intro. Tonight I savored this book, with tea in my mustache mug, and a candle that smells warm and like all the things I’d like most to eat. I worked through the chapter on the new moon. I’m trusting. I’m setting an intention. I’m ... following my intuition and putting it in action. I’m not focused on any outcome other than to BE. be present. Be here now. Be connected to my intuition. It’s a month of walking with an intention and noticing it through both times of rest and action. I’m super good at the action. I’m needing help in the resting part. Excited to be living this out now. Excited the moon called me in yesterday. Excited to dwell in the interior for a spell.

  • For part 1 of the season 3 finale, I shared the new insights I had as I looked back on the discussions with Fred LeBlanc of Cowboy Mouth, psychotherapist and grief expert Julia Samuel, and author and Yoga expert Suzan Colon.⠀ ⠀ You can find this episode (along with Part 2!) at the link in my bio. ⠀ ⠀ #finale #season3 #greatconversations
