As we are all spending more time at home these days, let’s dedicate some energy into our dwellings and create a little cherished space. Whether you live in a chic apartment amidst the business of a city, an expansive country house surrounded by acres of land or a dreamy bungalow on the beach—home is where the heart is. And, if this is true, where does the soul live?
Read MoreFor the past 8 days, a forest fire has been burning not too far from our home. Currently the Rio en Medio Fire has spread to 2,700 acres and is 18% contained. Dry conifer and ponderosa pine mixed with steep rugged terrain add to the complexity of efforts to control the fire. National Guard Blackhawk helicopters and 230 firefighters are strategically battling the blaze.
Read MoreThe sound alerted me. I recall the ‘feeling’ that the sound created more than the actual sound, it started with a curiosity. I had never heard a “rattler” before, and it instinctively captured my attention.
First, curious— which then quickly turned into a deep sensation that rippled through me, DANGER. I looked down and to my shock, 3-ft away a Mojave rattlesnake reared up and ready to strike, at me! I can still feel the emotion of seeing its huge flared head and lime green tongue outstretched, directly at me. My instincts took over. I screamed a big scream, stepped back as quickly as possible and moved into stunned mode. Ron and friends ran towards me and we all stood still, un-nerved as we tried to figure out our next move, and its.

#challengeaccepted Thank you @sylviaforsythe my @saks guru. Shout out to all who are such beautiful and elegant women @saaraahirv & @allieirv and a million more.
Read MoreYou know how it feels to find a a book you love? I am talking about the kind of read (that you can’t wait until the next time) you get a chance to sit down and enjoy a few more chapters.
Looking for a new read? I highly recommend The Scent Keeper by Erica Bauermeister.
This book is a novel, and I am not usually a fiction-reading-kind-of-gal. I am mostly drawn to non-fiction spirituality but this title jumped off the shelf and tethered me like an anchor’s force from a sea of books.
Read MoreYesterday my husband Ron and I were driving a stretch of highway that crossed the Pecos River taking in a stunning view of New Mexico’s landscape.
As quickly as it came, it was gone.
Out of nowhere a large white majestic heron flew across our windshield. As I tightly clutched the steering wheel my initial thought was, “Oh No, this bird is going to die”. Then just as quickly as it blocked my view for a moment, it was gone. I felt a little stunned and then overwhelmed with emotion and started to cry. What just happened?

Read MoreCoffee is one of my little favorite pleasures. What’s one of yours?
The cup and saucer, a gift from my mother-in-law (I think it’s about 100 years old). I just love using these cups every day. I think of her and her great sense of style.
Just as I like to watch clouds to give me a sense of peace, relaxation and fun— read more, Cloudy with a Chance of Joy. Do you see the clouds in my coffee cup too?

courage to change the things I can,
and wisdom to know the difference.—Karl Paul Reinhold Niebuhr
Join us again, as we facilitate Deepak Chopra's Abundance Meditation Challenge, to begin July 20th.
Read MoreThe “sheltering in” brought with it a silver lining.
Leading Soul Space Retreats in beautiful locations for the past ten years has brought with it, its share of rewards and challenges. Heading off to a retreat center and joining with like-minded souls isn’t always the easiest on everyone’s schedule, time commitment and financial plans.
I can now see the new way of moving forward— easier, more accessible and economical. And, the opportunities for content and a sense of connection with others is endless.
Read MoreMy niece sent me Deepak Chopra’s 21 day Abundance Meditation Challenge about a month ago. When she sent it, I recall thinking, “Oh, I did that challenge, and it’s a good one.” My first thought being, since I had already done it, I didn’t need to do it again. But, after a couple of days of watching the comments from other’s in the group— I decided to do it again. And, I’m so glad that I did. I still have my own meditation practice each morning, and this additional one with Deepak added a beautiful complement.
Read MoreAnyone else feeling a little anxious? What comes after the Covid Storm? How does re-entry feel?
For some of us, stepping out into a new world and way of being feels more anxiety producing than all of the time we spent at home these past weeks.
Leaving our homes to integrate back into a community that is now different, is making many of us feel unsure, insecure and fearful of what happens next. How can we face these feelings and learn how to navigate this unpredictable and uncertain future with confidence, peace and joy? The reality is that the world in which we stepped away from when we walked into our homes, isn’t the world that we are re-emerging into.
Read MoreLast Friday morning held a bit of magic. I was in the middle of a one-to-one session with Lucy when a bit of supernatural power showed up. An ordinary cloudy day lit up like a sparkling ray of sunshine hope. A message appeared, as if to prove that we really do have a guiding force, a nudge, a feeling, or sometimes even — solid, concrete information presented to us that we are supported and on the right path.
Read MoreAs a child, I wore a birthstone ring on my finger. The golden topaz stone made me aware of my connection to my self and to the Earth in a new way. Ever since, I’ve been consciously aware of the energy a gemstone can give us — if we are open to noticing its power.
Read MoreAs we move into weeks of “home sheltering" and Covid-19 cases surpass 1 million globally, I feel waves of helplessness, what can I do to contribute?
Staying home is the best action and defense for us all, and the great news is, people are really doing it, and it appears to be working. Today, even though the virus tolls are peaking in some areas, in other areas I read the curve is flattening.
Sarah, Allie and I came up with an idea, to do something special, because sometimes it’s the little things that keep you going. We chose to focus on nurses, see Halo Effect.
HOW WILL WE DO THIS?…
Read MoreThink of the subconscious mind as a second, hidden mind that exists within you— its goal is to attract circumstances and situations that match the images you hold within. It doesn’t discriminate. It brings you what you need or desire— synchronicity, which you may think of as luck or coincidence— but actually it’s an inner collaborator.
