Why don’t I try to love myself?

Because it doesn’t work!

But I know I need to love myself in order to bring my heart’s desires into being…

…and I know that coming from a strong foundation of self-love empowers me to...

It’s easy to develop a kind of tunnel vision as we go through life.

We tend to stay focused on the same old things.

But there are so many more possibilities out there!

And the more possibilities we are open to, the more easil...

A few years ago I was inspired to start sharing Guardian Words with my email community every week, and it’s been so powerful for all of us to tap into the power of words together!

What we found is that by mindfully engagi...

You came into life with a set of gifts to share with the world.

There are no exceptions!

If you're living and breathing you have inner gifts that, when you share them, will light up the world. But that's not all.

In addition to uplifting the world, your gifts are the key to your own happiness ...

In the final chapter of my book The Guardian Gateway, I share this short meditation:

Go deep within your own heart and connect to the presence of your Greater Self there. Go deeper and deeper, until you become aware of the presence of a golden spark-like light.

As you focus on this spark ...

You stand right now on every beautiful thing you've ever created out of love.

In truth, it's more than a foundation, it's a beautif...

We've all had more than usual to deal with in the last two years, and sometimes it's hard to know the best way to respond to unwanted events. That's where this week's Guardian Words come in. 

Say them with me now:

At this time of year we spend a lot of time focusing on presents, but alongside everything else we’re doing, I’d like for us to turn our focus inward this week.

As you move through this holiday season and the final two weeks of the year, use this week’s Guardian Word to give yourself the gift of ce...

Most definitions of the word, “Wish” say that it has to do with desiring something that’s unobtainable, or unlikely to occur.

But in reality, life can be surprising!

Have you experienced things that were “unlikely to happen” in your own life? I know I have!

So this week’s Guardian Word i...

I am so drawn to images of gateways (for obvious reasons!) but I'm also drawn to pictures of bridges and doorways.

They hold the common theme of being thresholds, places where we move from one place—or one state of consciousness—to the next.

And that word next is important, because it repres...

This week marks the one-year anniversary of our weekly Guardian Words!

I want to thank you for tuning into the supportive energy of these words with me, and I also want to give a warm welcome to newcomers to our Guardian Gateway community.

To celebrate this milestone, starting this week we will pa...

This week our Guardian Word is Shed: the act of releasing what you’ve outgrown (the way a snake sheds its skin). 

A snake skin is shed because it doesn’t fit anymore, but unlike our snake friends, we tend to want to hold on to thoughts, beliefs, behaviors, and relationships long after we’ve become ...
