How to Cultivate Optimism

“The only journey is the one within.” 

— Rainer Maria Rilke

Greetings to all my precious people!!

In 1997, fresh from a Stephen Covey workshop on personal mission statements, I created an acronym to guide how I wanted to show up in the world: C.O.A.C.H. Back then, it stood for Cultivating Optimism, Awareness, Creativity, and Hope—a personal compass for living with intention.

I had no idea that a simple acronym would evolve into something far more profound.  continue reading »

Curiosity: The Art of Sacred Wonder

Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart 

and try to love the questions themselves…
~~ Rainer Maria Rilke

Greetings to all my precious people!!

Jupiter, the planet known as the “Great Benefic,” is widely regarded as a planet of expansion, abundance, and wisdom. When it returns to Cancer, the Water Sign, on June 9, and stays until June 2026, it reminds us of its “benefic” offerings: a path toward spiritual growth, enlightenment, and a supported quest for knowledge. The last time Jupiter graced Cancer was between June 2013—July 2014, so let us take a moment to reflect upon what happened during that time in our lives. There will be a nugget of inspiration, insight, and possibility waiting to be acknowledged.  continue reading »

Greetings to all my precious people!!

Major transition and recalibration is the highlight of this week and beyond, as Saturn enters the fire sign Aries on May 24, for the first time in nearly three decades. Saturn represents the archetype of The Wise Old One in Jungian psychology, embodying the aspects of maturity, stability and grounded realism, and it reminds us that time stands still for no one. Between now and 2028, be on the lookout for the reality checks we didn’t choose but surely need. The resistance we manifest, the magical thinking we utilize, the beliefs we were handed down and cling to without question. Saturn is responsible for throwing up obstacles so that we might face them, gain resilience and continue to grow and evolve into a new life stage.  continue reading »
