Welcome to My Blog

“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

Why Should I Listen To You?

This is such a great question. It's one I ask regularly when I'm seeking advice, knowledge, healing, compassion. I choose to listen to God, my husband, my parents (even though they're gone, their voices are always in my head), my soul sisters, soul brothers, fellow...

Realities of Blended-Family Life

The past few days have been a bit of a three-ring-circus!  You might think I'm complaining... I'm not.  It's just true and analogous to the... let's say,  colorful weekend we've had :). From dizzying reconnections with family long over due, to the pandemonium that is...

Get On With It ~ 2015

That thing you keep pushing off for the right place, time, or circumstance... get on with it already! It's nagging at you for a reason. I'm not talking about the things you don't even think about unless your memory is jogged somehow... Like taxes.  Pause. You...

You Can Be Authentic and Have Two Personas…

Say what? Yes it's true. For example, you can have your work persona, and your bedroom persona. You could also have 10 personas or 20... doesn't matter. You define you :). Either way, obviously they're very different versions of you.  Living authentically doesn't mean...

Sometimes You’re in a Holding Pattern

And that's ok... You feel it - viscerally... the universe telling you it's not safe to land and establish roots just yet, and it's not ok to fly away either.  So, just hang. Inspired by such an "energizing" meet up with my brilliant, radiant friend...

Find a Little Peace 

Monday's can be manic. Try and find a little you time to slow things down and reawaken. Feed your body and your soul. I found a little Peace here at one of our favorite joints. More to come, Tanya B.

Love is the Center of All I Do
