The holidays are upon us again and this year they look a little different than the years past.

What do you belong to a faith tradition, or are inspired by the beauty of nature and its fullest expressions, take a few minutes in silence just releasing all other demands on your attention today.

If the holiday stress you out, you are not alone. Not everybody gets along with their family, or if you are away from loved ones, it can be very difficult to go through the holidays without them.

Try this calming meditation to keep holiday stress at bay.

It’s almost a cliché to say the holidays can be stressful. Instead of peace and joy, the reality is we’re often just trying to stay sane. Not everyone gets along, dinner gets burned—it can be an emotional minefield.

Any picture-perfect image of the holidays we build up in our minds, filled with expectations of how life should be, rarely gets met for long.

Wishing you peace, well-being and mindful presence over the holidays and into the New Year!

We've all been there, stress of family, more responsibilities, on top of all the things we already have to do every day. The holidays can be hectic, and chaotic to say the least so this month I'll be sharing with you little meditation practices to help calm the nerves and the stress.

Living on purpose is not only for dreams or the creative world. Living on purpose impacts your life as an individual. It does not happen overnight. It is not just a trend or a cool concept. I want you to be successful with this so here are a few things that I use / do to help encourage, promote, and maintain successful time management.

Whether you're just beginning to let yourself dream again or you're smack dab in the middle of your dream pursuit, remember to be. Remember to do. Remember to go. Don't just wait for the perfect opportunity, create it. This is the way to live on purpose with your dreams.

The holidays are supposed to be a magical time.. a time for friends, family, good food, and laughter. Sadly, what generally happens these days, is we all get over scheduled, overextended financially, overfed on holiday cookies and eggnog and overtired a family and friends.
