Life is a Treasure

Welcome to Episode 51!  In this episode, I am sharing about how SISTERS are a GIFT to be TREASURED.  It doesn't need to be blood, related sister.  It could be a friend who is a soul or spiritual sister.  Or perhaps a step-sister or sister-in-law (love). 

The relationship is the most important aspect.  I am sharing stories from my own life in honor of my sister, Stephanie's birthday on October 4.  Our journey will most likely have similarities to yours.  I also offer tips to build healthier relationships with "sisters" in your life! 

I hope that this episode will inspire and encourage you to cherish and TREASURE these special women in your LIFE!  Please reach out and connect with me.  I'd love to hear from YOU.  https://lifeisatreasure.com

Until next week....

Peace, Love, and Joy,

WOW!! I can not believe that this is the 50th episode!!  Thank you all who have been here since the beginning, January 2020.  This is definitely an amazing milestone for me and I wanted to take some time to acknowledge it and celebrate (the little wins). 

In this episode, I share my pre-launch journey including panic/anxiety experience in 2019 that forced me to postpone the launch of this show.  I also share how that journey equipped me for today.  Life is a journey and it's up to us to seek the joy from it. 

One way for us to find the JOY in the JOurneY is to always offer ourselves compassion, as we do for others.  Self-compassion is a crucial key to our healing, development, and growth.  You can listen to the episode about Self-Compassion here:  https://www.buzzsprout.com/358646/2592604-self-compassion-is-healing

Remember LIFE is a JOurneY and JOY is the TREASURE!!

Love, Peace, and JOY,

Life brings us all pain.  Sometimes, physical and other times emotional.  Pain is painful and we can find ourselves running from it to avoid feeling the emotions that come with it.  However, the feelings are still deep down inside until we deal and heal.  Then we are able to let go of the negative consequences and move on with our life to create more peace, love, and joy.  In this episode, I go into more detail and also share some of my personal experiences with pain in my own life.  I also offer tips and suggestions to help you move from pain to purpose in your life.
