Take Notes.

I was walking around my neighborhood today and by looking at the shop windows I couldn't help but notice that summer is winding down. The windows are dressed in gorgeous Autumn colors and Halloween pumpkins are everywhere. Its not officially Fall until Saturday, Sept 22 but I am already eagerly awaiting the change of season.

During my stroll I came across this cool little shop, in its window there were these cute journals - one just jumped out at me and I had to share it - this is the cover of the journal:


To me "The Heart" is our human compass. More specifically, it is our NORTH.  It communicates to us directly through our intuition.  But how do you know you are listening to your heart?

The answer to this question can be found by examining your life. The answer is reflected back to you in your personal friendships and relationships. It is in how you deal with your success and failures.

We have just entered the last quarter of 2012, there are 118 days left in 2012. Whether you made any resolutions back in January or not now would be a perfect time to write down some personal goals.  

Take out a couple sheets of paper and a pen (or open your computer and place your fingers on the keys) and let your heart guide the words you write down. Your heart will guide you to a life that is filled with purpose and deep meaning. Is there a conversation you are avoiding? Is there a dream you let slip away from you? Write it down.

After you've compiled your list look at what steps you need to take to start walking towards achieving them.  Whether its buying the ingredients for a new recipe you've wanted to try, taking a class, starting a new business, losing weight or making more time to spend with your family and friends. Start working towards these goals and your heart will be there to support you.

Carpe Diem!

    Yes! The heart is indeed a powerful guide! I find the evidence of following it (or not) also reflected in how easy or difficult the flow of my life is. It's time for me to slow down and listen. Thanks for the reminder!!

Peaks and Valleys

Image
You've all heard the old adage, "Life is about Peaks and Valleys." Its origin is unclear but we've all heard it. It's an emotional pick me up. A motivator to keep going. I know I’ve said some derivation of it to a friend when they've needed comfort AND admittedly at times the person I’m telling it to is myself. There are different variations like: “Life ebbs and flows” “What goes up must come down” "Highs and lows"  "To and fro" "Good and bad times"  Because I'm a visual person I like the image that is created with “Peaks” and “Valleys” P eAKS are by definition the highest point. I like thinking of the summit of a mountain. Its symbolic of the times when I'm feeling positive and on top of the world. When everything I do is working. These are the "wins" in our liv es, the "high" times BUT we can not surviv e at this altitude for v ery long because a

Happy Summer Solstice 2013

"Do you always watch for the longest day of the year and then miss it?  I always watch for the longest day in the year and then miss it." ~ Daisy Buchanan (The Great Gatsby) Well this Friday, June 21st, is the longest day of the year.  It's not only the longest day of the year it is also referred to as Midsummer which is celebrated in Europe much like Christmas and New Years and it is also known as the Summer Solstice. * Solstice derives from the latin sol  (sun) and sistere  (to stand still). As the day progresses the sun rises higher and higher until it seems to stand still in the sky. IT'S PLANETARY The summer solstice occurs when the Earth's axis is at its maximum tilt towards the sun and the sun in turn is at its highest point in the sky, the meeting of these two celestial events is the longest day of the year, meaning it is the one day in the whole year with the most daylight. It falls in June on the Northern Hemisphere and in December on the

Gunshots and Confusion. What could have happened but didn't.

Have you ever imagined what you would do if you came face to face with a gunman? Well, I have and the scenario in my mind usually ended with me ducking for cover. The real-life version however was completely different. What should have been an uneventful stroll down the street turned into a chaotic, sad, and yet life affirming event. Last Friday was to be the beginning of a celebration-filled weekend for me and I couldn't wait to get the party started. Friday night was going to be a fun, small, surprise party that I had arranged for my sister-friend and Saturday my husband and I were going to celebrate our wedding anniversary.  The clock on my dashboard read 3:05, I wasn't finished shopping for these two very special people and at this moment time was not on my side. INTUITION. THANK GOD I LISTENED. I live in Studio City and absolutely love shopping at the stores in my neighborhood but not the traffic. I have a tried and true way of navigating around it, by parking
