Dream Big!!!

Imagine if someone said, your dreams can come true today...you just have to ask. Everything you desire and dream can manifest itself into a reality. Well...let that person be me telling you now, that your dreams can come true! So.....DREAM BIG!!!

Be specific. Know what it is you want to bring into your life and achieve. Ask for what you need in great detail. Do not be afraid to ask for exactly what you want. Also...have goals! Start small or start with the biggest one of all! Just start NOW!

Say your dreams out loud. Say them to yourself and tell those around you. Not only will saying the words begin to manifest these dreams, but once you have shared this dream out loud to another human being, it will be real and you will feel accountable. In addition, phrases like "I can't" and "No" need to be erased from your vocabulary! Negative self-talk will only hinder any progress you make and become obstacles on your path. Instead say, "I can" and "Yes" and tell yourself you deserve it! Because you do...

I'm saying this now because I am doing this right at this very moment. I have a dream...a very big dream. I am going to bring love and yoga to those around me...especially those in need...those that may still be asleep. I am going to change the world and make a difference. I was once sleepwalking through life unaware of who I was and numb to my surroundings. In my darkest hour I was given a gift...a divine intervention of sorts...and awakened into this glorious life I have. Every single day I am grateful for this gift. I know in my heart I am finally on my right path. Once I had opened my heart up to the universe and let go of my demons, judgements, and expectations, every single thing in my life changed. My path in this life was illuminated before me. I said "yoga" and it happened. I said,  "I want to teach yoga" and I'm starting to right now. I now am going to share that yoga and love with others. I am going to heal those in need. I feel I was meant for something great on this earth...in this life...and I am not waiting for tomorrow to make it happen. This is why I say...DREAM BIG! and start TODAY!!!!!

Peace, love and every blessing in the world to you all...

New Beginnings Start TODAY!!!

Every year around this time...of closing one year and welcoming a new one...I'm always overwhelmed with talk of resolutions, change, and hopes for the year about to give birth. This concept of "New Year's Resolutions" is everywhere. It appears in movies, tv talk shows and advertisements. In a way, we are lead to believe that we need to wait until this very special day of January 1st to change things about ourselves that we don't like. January 1st a day of promise...a day we can become better people and finally keep those promises we repeatedly make to ourselves. My question is this....WHY WAIT????

A new year is a beautiful symbol that time is moving on without us and YES! we need to get a move on with our lives. Every single day we wake up with breath in our bodies and the ability to get out of bed healthily is a gift! It is such a miracle to be alive and be given this time here on earth. This here...this life...everyday when we wake up is IT!  We are living the miracle of life every single day. Why waste another moment? Why wait for something that can happen today? 


If we are truly honest with ourselves, the time we don't think we have is actually there...we just choose to overlook it. Is it laziness? Is it complacency? I don't know what it is because I believe everyone has a different story and a different reason. But, I do know this. Everyday we wait to start living is a day we are not present on this earth, in our bodies, in our lives.

Make the resolution TODAY to start living in the moment. Look down at your feet! Because that is where your mind and thoughts should be....HERE! where you are!!! Promise to love and nurture this temple that encases your spirit. Love yourself and your body. It is a gift and needs to be fueled with care and attention. Feed yourself pure and healthy goodies. Your body will thank you!


Take a yoga class and get in touch with your body and learn what it feels like to flow and stretch...get to know every inch of yourself...run around the block and feel open, crisp air fill your lungs with life and your heart with exuberance...dance without inhibition...your body will thank you and your heart will be full of light.


Sing!! I mean really, really sing! Sing from your gut...alone or with others. It is good to hear your own voice. Even if it's slightly off-tune ;) 


Own who you are...mistakes, tragedies, baggage and all. You are the only YOU here and NO ONE on this planet is like you. Forgive yourself and others for the past because it will only keep you from being present today. Resentments are poison to the soul and we need to nourish and enrich our souls.  


Don't expect from others what you cannot expect from yourself. Embrace and accept what is...and what isn't. Cry when you are sad...cry when you are happy. Tears of joy are so beautifully honest!


Set goals for yourself (professional and personal). Because the joy of reaching a goal is a deliciousness that should be savored by all. Never say never...cuz...ya never know! Be true to yourself. We all have a little voice that speaks to us or a nagging little feeling that creeps up once in a while...it's intuition...listen to it and honor it! 


Feel gratitude! We have so many things to be grateful for. Make a gratitude list...start with "A" and end at "Z". It will surprise you! Let the people in your life know what they mean to you. Tell them how grateful you are for them and why. We don't tell each other how we feel as often as we should. 


BREATHE!!! I find I'm constantly holding my breath and I don't know why. It feels sooooo good! Taking a few deep breaths really does make it all better. And finally...love. Love with your whole spirit and body. Love is the greatest of gifts and is to be treasured. 


Start change in your life today! Live life today! LOVE LOVE LOVE today!!!


Happy new year...HAPPY NEW DAY!!!!
