Rising up to the occasion, unleashing your personal power

Hello Beautiful People! I decided to do something a little different; I am going to start off my blogs with an affirmation or inspirational quote to set the tone for the day's blog. Feel free to provide feedback! "Sometimes, life will kick you around, but sooner or later, you realize you're not just a survivor, you're a warrior, and you're stronger than anything life throws your way." -Brooke Davis Let's go...... I have always believed that the universe has fashioned every la

Snakes do it, why can't we "shed" our skin??

Happy Monday Beautiful People!! Another week, the opportunity to tackle our grind.. Let's go... Annoyed, irritated, aggravated, ready for change, sickened with the current state of affairs. This is how a snake may feel right before shedding its skin to reveal a whole new one, yet a snake knows how to move through change seamlessly. Let me be clear, a snake is an expert in skin shedding; the snake shows us how to let go of the old way and slip into the new skin. However, it do

Motivational Monday: Let's keep negative thoughts away!

Beautiful People! happy Monday! I am hoping that your weekend was restful and in spite of this climate was productive. Let's go! It has been 51 days since NYC went on pause; and in 51 days, our lives shifted from the routine and structure to adopting a new "normal" consisting of "social distancing" and wearing a mask just to buy groceries at the market. Hangouts literally happen at google hangouts, Whatsapp or Zoom; many of us (myself included) have not been able to spend tim

You and the flow of money

Hello Beautiful People! Let's talk about aligning with money..yes money.... Let's go! Ever heard the term "money is the root of all evil"? or "more money more problems"? as a society, we seem to have an oil and vinegar relationship with money; when we have it, GREAT! when we don't, we curse the world wishing we had multitudes of it. We can shift the conditioned mindset we have towards money by looking at it through a spiritual lens; yes, I said spiritual. Money and spiritual

Motivation Monday: Connecting yourself through morning ritual

Happy Monday Beautiful People!! Hoping that everyone's weekend was restful, invigorating and safe. Let's get it going..... How do you start your morning? are your mornings guided by external forces such as going on the phone (to send/look at texts, social media), turning on the television or logging on to the computer? By having any of these as the first thing we do in the morning, we're giving away some of our power by way of telling the universe that external needs are way

You can do this: avoiding relapse during the coronavirus climate

Hello Beautiful People! For those who practice religion, hoping you are having a blessed Holy Thursday, and for those who don't practice, happy Thursday... Let's go... Trying to keep a sense of normalcy during this pandemic can be a challenge, but for those who are trying to maintain sobriety, it can be a struggle. Achieving sobriety is not easy, more so maintaining it. In these days of staying indoors, the inability to attend physical meetings or engaging in activities that

Wellness Wednesday....

Beautiful people, happy hump day! Today's blog will just touch on self-care... Nothing wrong with a little refresher... Self-care means taking the time to do things you enjoy. Usually, self-care involves everyday activities that you find relaxing, fun or energizing. These activities can be as simple as reading a book, listening to music, date or family night, treating yourself to a bath (see below) or just enjoying the company of others. It is so easy to forget incorporating

When being lonely moves to suffering in silence..

Hello Beautiful people! Today's blog is a heavy one for me; however, I am hoping that someone out there will benefit from this... Let's go... Yesterday I got a lengthy text from a friend of mine who is working from home; to protect her identity, I will refer to her as Cyn. Cyn is a sweet, intelligent, beautiful woman in her 40's who works in manage care. She has very few friends, no children nor a significant other; she is estranged from her siblings who live outside of New

Motivation Monday: Pulling in your physical energy

Happy Monday Beautiful People!! Today let's focus on physical energy. Your physical energy should be thought of as your body's central hub of energy. If your physical needs are not met-for example hunger or lack of movement, you won't be unable to function at your full capacity. There are ways that you can trigger your physical energy.. Let's go... Sleep. There is a reason why you are waking up tired. As we age, deep sleep diminishes which is unfortunate because it is during

Discovering your emotional energy..

Hello Beautiful People! We all stew in our emotions; some emotions such as love and happiness lift our spirits, while others, worry, and sadness can create apathy and drown us of our strength. With a few simple strategies, you can tip the scale towards positive feelings and tap into that emotional energy portal. Let's go... My previous post touched on self-compassion as a tool to exercise social distancing. This time we are going to re-visit self-compassion as a method agains

Its Wednesday! A little something from Lakota Moon Naturals!

Happy hump day beautiful people! as stated last week and in keeping with my intentionality in being consistent, Wednesdays are all about natural body care inside and out. I love a good facial and body scrub; with the exception of those with severe acne, or sensitive skin, scrubs can be a great weekly or daily regiment for facial/body care. I am going to share two of my favorite scrub recipes; one for the body and the other for the face. Enjoy! For the body: 1/2 cup ground oat
