​Grow.
.
Grow into more of who you are.
.
Instead of grass, grow a garden in your front yard.
.
Sow it with bright, multi-textured wildflowers of all different shapes and hues.
.
And as they grow, watch your heart grow too.
.
Grow your appreciation of self love.
.
And appreciate your beauty with each passing year.
.
Grow your capacity to listen, live and learn.
.
Grow deeply into your relationships.
.
Even those that challenge you, for they need love too.
.
Grow peppermint, dill and lavender in your grandmother’s tea cups and place them in your windowsill.
.
Grow into your looks.
.
Bless that nose you always thought was too crooked or too big.
.
When you look in the mirror, recognize the sameness from your ancestors as they look back at you too.
.
Grow past the walls you’ve put up around your heart.
.
They’re good at keeping things out but they stop so much more from coming in.
.
Grow a garden inside of your heart.
.
Tend it with ever-loving care.
.
And tend it well.
.
And always.

Transitions

Transitions.
.
There’s no doubt about it.
.
Transitions are tough.
.
I’m talking about the gap between where you are and where you want to be.
.
Whether it’s finding a new job, trying to lose weight or jumping back into the dating pool, getting there is going to be uncomfortable.
.
It’s our natural instinct to want everything to happen right away.
.
To choose Amazon Prime as our 'go-to' as we traverse through life.
.
❤️ We want our first job out of school to be a reflection of our highest value and worth.
.
❤️ We want one week of eating healthy to suddenly melt away the quarantine lbs.
.
❤️ We want the first person we fall in love with to be our forever mate.
.
The truth is…

✨ It takes time to find the right job.
.
✨ It takes time to get healthy.
.
✨ It takes time to find Mr. Right.
.
Just know that transition is hard but with discomfort comes the comfort of knowing that if you stick to your path, things will work out.
.
Simply take small steps everyday and eventually you’ll arrive.

Sense.

Notice what you notice around you.

When you walk into a room, sense what’s ‘really’ going on.
.
Sense when something feels off.
.
Listen to his voice on the phone.
.
Notice when he tells you everything is ‘okay’ but you know that it’s not.
.
Look past the spoken word.
.
Actions speak louder.
.
Sense what’s going on with your co-worker.
.
Sense that she needs a smile, perhaps a shoulder to lean on.
.
Be that friend.
.
When you meet someone for the first time, sense the intensity between you.
.
Don’t fear it.
.
​Breathe into it.
.
And know that it's okay.
.
Sense that your senses are becoming more attuned to everything and everyone around you.
.
When people say,”Don’t be SO sensitive.”
.
Smile.
.
They’ve just picked up that you've just out-sensed them.

ritual & recipe: "EXOTIC" FOOT SOAK

0 Comments

Read Now
 
Picture
One of my favorite ways to revive my energy is a foot bath and turning them a ritual can be a highly therapeutic experience.
.
Foot baths are easy to put together and don’t require a bathtub.
.
One of the benefits of releasing toxins through your feet is that it rids your body of excess energy you might have picked up from others.
.
As an empath, it’s vital to release what is not yours so that you don’t become overwhelmed.
.
When your body is clear of toxins it is able to receive what it needs much easier.
.
I thought I’d share one of my favorite sacred foot soak recipes with you.
.
Please let me if you try them and if they make a difference.
.
I generally soak my feet once a week but there are no hard and fast rules.
.
If I’ve experienced an anxiety-ridden day, I soak.
.
If my day has been highly emotional due to the intimate details of client conversations, I soak.
.
If I’m feeling off, I soak.
.
If you feel like you need to soak, trust your inner guidance.
.
You’ll need to stay hydrated before, during and after your sacred soak so have a glass of purified water nearby.
.
I love adding a ½ teaspoon of rose water to my water - a little goes a long way so don’t over do it. (Rose water can be purchased online or at your favorite Persian store)
.
To add ambiance, I put on some mood music, light my favorite candle and meditate holding a crystal or two.
.
I also enjoy floating fresh, rose petals on top of the water.
.
If I’m feeling up to it, I also add some rose tea bags to the water. 
.
Again, let your intuition be your guide. 

“Exotic” Scented Sacred Foot Soak
Mix the following ingredients together in a glass bowl then place 1-3 tablespoons inside a fabric bag. Tie the bag then drop it into the warm foot bath water.
  • 2 tbsp. carrier oil such as olive, grape seed or coconut oil
  • 2 drops each of Black Pepper, Rose and Jasmine essential oils 
  • 2 cups of Black or Red Hawai’ian salt
  • 1/4 cup dried flowers, such as rose, chamomile and lavender. (You can also find dried flowers and herbs at the Persian store)
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight glass container for up to 2 weeks.
  • ​Clean and disinfect your tub immediately after use then wipe it down and let it air dry. 

*Optional: (store these items separately from the herbal foot soak)
  • 1 cup of fresh rose petals. (They can be stored fresh inside the refrigerator up to one week, then air dried for later use)
  • 1 cup of cows or goat milk

If you end up falling in love with foot baths like I did, consider investing in high-end spa towels to dry your feet and a *copper foot bath. Not only are they aesthetically beautiful but they’ll make you feel as if you’re soaking your feet at a high-end luxury spa.

*I receive a small commission, cost free to you, if you purchase through this link. Thank you for supporting my blog.

Scent

Scent.
.
It’s intangible yet potent.
.
It has the power to attract or repel.
.
The skunk comes to mind when I think of both.

It’s highly misunderstood yet it has a powerful presence.
.
It commands a healthy respect from those who encounter it.
.
It does not move when predators appear because it knows that its power is in the potency of just being present.
.
A skunks scent is highly recognizable.
.
Some are attracted to it and use it as an aphrodisiac.
.
Just like the skunk, people respond to the fragrances you employ.
.
Some will complain.
.
Others will swoon.
.
Some will say it evokes memories of long ago.
.
Your scent helps people remember you.
.
How they notice, respond and remember you is up to you.
.
Scent.
.
It’s your signature.
.
It can command or repel.
.
Wear it well.

Love Begins  in the home

0 Comments

Love begins in the home.
.
What you surround yourself with is a direct reflection of the love you are attracting and if you are in a partnership, maintaining.
.
Its energy either attracts or repels.
.
If you are interested in enhancing your current relationship or attracting a new one, then your home is the first place to start.
.
The physical contents of your home are important contributors to our sense of peace and comfort.
.
They form the foundation for achieving the same conditions on a ‘spatial’ level meaning what we surround ourselves with affects us physically, spiritually, mentally, emotionally and energetically.
.
By enhancing your home’s beauty it can help you to improve similar aspects of your life and improve that which you are less than happy with.
.
Having what you love around you makes you feel joyful, beautiful, happy, safe, sexy, comfortable and free.
.
Once you figure what that means to you, flood your space with it.
.
Fill your living and working environment with things that you absolutely love.
.
Let it translate into the colors, materials, art, fabric, objects and books that make your soul sing.
.
Don’t leave anything unfinished.
.
Turn every square inch into your favorite space so that everything you see brings you joy.
.
If you’re not sure what I mean by this try this experiment...
.
Imagine bringing a potential Mr. or Mrs. Right into your CURRENT home.
.
How does it make you feel? (Be honest)
.
Notice what comes up for you.
.
Are you proud or embarrassed of the way your home looks after viewing it through another person’s eyes?
.
If the latter, the world you live in is the vibe you give off.
.
Release what no longer brings you joy and surround yourself with love.
.
Love begins in the home.
.
Plan with sensitivity so that you can create the state of mind to attract who and what you desire.

Waiting To Exhale

0 Comments

Read Now
 
​This morning I stumbled upon the soundtrack, “Waiting to Exhale.”
.
It was a good reminder to pause...
.
To give thanks for what keeps me going day after day.
.
Besides my family, it’s my clients and the pleasure of watching them grow.
.
Every single client I work with has something BIG on the line when they decide to release something that’s no longer working for them.
.
For the past 20 years I’ve had the honor and privilege to watch them...
.
❤️ Grow through the tears and heartache of unrequited love.
.
❤️ Learn how to ‘love’ again after years of physical & emotional abuse.
.
❤️ Create loving relationships with themselves knowing that love begets love.
.
❤️ Love themselves no matter how they've shown up for themselves and others in the past.
.
❤️ Release toxic relationships in order to find true love.
.
❤️ Find forgiveness for themselves and for others who have hurt them in the past.
.
❤️ Do the hard work -- the kind that necessitates being vulnerable.
.
❤️ Put one foot in front of the other and walk their talk.
.
❤️ Find love in the age of COVID-19.
.
❤️ Find the courage to change behaviors that are keeping them stuck, unhappy and alone.
.
Knowing that when I exhale I am able to make their transitions easier and if I don’t, I know how much is at stake.
.
That’s what keeps me going... and pausing to exhale.
