Filled With Music

Spend Time With Yourself

When was the last time you spent time with yourself?                                               And yes, I’m being serious. In a pre-podcast interview with someone earlier today, one of the reasons I love to get out in nature is because it reconnects me to my...

Rising From The Ashes

These ashes reminded me that as a phoenix rises from the ashes, so too have I risen from ashes. Do you ever look at things around you and realize that things HAD to burn in order for you to uplevel/ grow/ advance? I have been reflecting a lot on what it means to rise...

A Day In My Life

I saw something like this and thought it would be fun to put together a graphical representation of “a day in my life.” This in no way constitutes ALLLLL of the things in a day, however, it’s a pretty good representation of most things. I like to...

Beautiful Reminders

In case you need a beautiful reminder for yourself today… say them with me: * I am loved and valued * I am truly unique * I am capable of hard things * I am exactly where I need to be * I have not failed, I have made progress * I have permission to shine Repeat...

Be Open To The Lesson
