“Listening to your heart’s desires isn’t some new concept… it’s not my idea… it’s in centuries old teachings. My friends on this site have modernized and mastered it. They’re my inspiration. My journey, has been about aligning my life and being open to receive what’s in my heart. It needs to be a daily practice for dreams, wants, and hopes to come to pass. That’s alignment. ” - Tanya Bittner
Positive Thoughts ~ Positive Outcomes
It's so true. It. Just. Is. The practice of positive thinking yields transformative results. Perspective is everything. How you view your current situation already begins to determine its outcome. More than laws of attraction... Perception is a form of...
Hold Up!
Ok so in the spirit of intercommunication (the action of engaging in two-way conversation) and interconnectedness (a oneness in all things), let's examine a few words and their definitions (thank you Google): Emotion Cultural Health Maternal Instinct Emotion: a...
You’re Dope
That's right. YOU. Whether you're the mom who needs an extra set of hands (or two, or, or) to be the best mom you can be, or the woman unapologetic for being fierce when it's called for (and you get to choose when that is because it's your perception), or the wife who...
It Always Comes Back to Chaos

When you think you’ve blown it…
It's as reactionary as pulling your hand off a hot stove. Guilt. It happens instantaneously when you think you've really blown it. Ever noticed how close the words gut and GUilT are? It's ok to be mindful in that moment and feel that pain. In fact it's healthy...
The Obligatory Happy New Year Post
2015... Do not go gentle into that good night. - Dylan Thomas And you sure didn't. 2015 was mostly a sea of dreams. But last week? Well, let's just say 2015 and the universe were clearly at odds and they kept us on our toes to the end! Reflecting on the whole, 2015...
People are Inherently Good
I believe that's true. Perception is reality and everyone can have a different perception or interpretation of situations, conversations, someone's personality/behavior, intentions, circumstances, shapes and even colors. How you perceive things or people may be...
3 Tips for Divorced Holiday Blues
Divorce sucks. There I said it (again). Even if it's what you wanted, even if it's the best decision you've ever made, and e v e n if you belted out a joyous, fist pumping, "Hell ya!" when it was finally over... the whole process leading into that moment of...
