A place to Love and be Loved
I was talking to my friend Ophira Edut (one of the twins making up the go-to gals of astrology, The AstroTwins) about fear of the unknown. She asked me my thoughts on why new experiences can create such fear and anxiety. My best answer: It is because you can’t picture the experience happening. You have… Continue Reading →
Spring is a good time of year to detox and start fresh. That’s what Spring is all about, after all—renewal.

When bad things happen in your life, do you feel victimized? “Why Me?” “I can’t believe this is happening to me.” ”I don’t deserve this.” If you’re nodding your head, let’s talk about that… The entire life experience—every ounce of it—is a gift.

The irony is that if you’re reading this, you’re online. But, let’s talk about the dangers of being too connected to our technology and virtual world. Are you addicted to technology?

Are you a complainer? Be honest. Do you like being around complainers? Of course not! The act of complaining is more than simply saying something negative. Whether you realize it or not, this negativity impacts your life. When you complain, you are focusing on what is wrong as opposed to what is right. Since we… Continue Reading →
I refer to “paying it forward” as “gratitude in motion.” Personally, I find that the fastest way for me to feel happy is to make another person happy.
