Meditation Gatherings – What to Expect
During these Soul Journey meditation gatherings, I walk you through a grounding and protection practice, and then a guided 15-minute meditation.
During the meditation, we often connect with an animal or other Divine being to help us with healing, clarity on life path, or connection to self. For example, during the Owl Soul Journey, you meet your higher self to get answers about how to step into the person you’re meant to be. The owl tells you a message about your life as well.

Establish Better Boundaries
Like it or not, your boundaries are directly correlated to your sense of worth and love for yourself.
Think about it. When you “let” other people walk on you, and disrespect you and your time, you are giving the signal that their time/feelings/projects mean more than yours do.
You need to hear this part, though. You aren’t actually “letting” anyone do anything. You are CHOOSING to honor the needs of others over your own.

Do people know you?
Do you feel like people know the true you?
If your answer is no, know that you’re not alone. Many people feel that their friends, family, and co-workers don’t know them well or at all.
By many people, I mean 2 out of 3 of working adults say that they are lonely. If they feel lonely, they probably don’t have many people in their life that know their true personality.

Being Brave: Thank a Past Mentor
Sometimes I’m led to find guidance from a mentor, ask a friend about their experience in a specific situation, or seek more knowledge on from a subject-matter expert.
So while I advocate for strengthening your inner authority so you don’t need others to “tell you what to do”, I’m also a supporter of having mentors and learning from others.

Being Brave Challenge: Compliments
For Halloween 2013, I went as a “complimentary muffin”. The idea was the costume mimicked a muffin and I was to give compliments to everyone. Halfway through the night, a friend told me that I was doing a terrible job – I hadn’t given anyone compliments.

Being Brave Challenge: Smiling at Strangers
When I was about 22 years old, I went to see “The Hangover” in the theaters with my good friend. I was laughing a lot in the beginning, until I realized my friend was sitting there frowning, making comments about how stupid the movie was.
I quickly wiped the smile off my face.

How do you qualify a “brave act”?

I’ve found that these simple braveries can be the most impactful, especially when it comes to moving forward in life. This story is about one of those braveries.
