Do you believe that life is meant to get better and better as time goes on?

Take a moment to think about it. If you don't think your life is meant to evolving and expanding, what do you believe?

It's easy to fall into patterns of struggle, “just getting by,” or trying to maintain the status quo.

I am so drawn to images of gateways (for obvious reasons!) but I'm also drawn to pictures of bridges and doorways.

They hold the common theme of being thresholds, places where we move from one place—or one state of consciousness—to the next.

And that word next is important, because it repres...

This week marks the one-year anniversary of our weekly Guardian Words!

I want to thank you for tuning into the supportive energy of these words with me, and I also want to give a warm welcome to newcomers to our Guardian Gateway community.

To celebrate this milestone, starting this week we will pa...

This week our Guardian Word is Shed: the act of releasing what you’ve outgrown (the way a snake sheds its skin). 

A snake skin is shed because it doesn’t fit anymore, but unlike our snake friends, we tend to want to hold on to thoughts, beliefs, behaviors, and relationships long after we’ve become ...

One of my favorite things in my office is a tray that says, “She believed she could so she did.”

I’ve placed it standing up on a shelf so I can benefit from its message every day.

When I look at it, I’m reminded of the things I’m so happy to have accomplished. And it also makes me think about th...

It’s easy to feel scattered as we deal with everything we have to do in a day. But we always have the power to choose our own focus.

Take a deep breath, let it out, and say the word “Focus” ten times, counting on your fingers each time:

Focus

Lately I’ve been really uplifted by the idea of release.

I love the feeling I get when I shift into a mindset of releasing the physical possessions that aren’t bringing true value to my life, and it’s a mindset that can be applied to every area of our lives.

Repeat it with me now and see what c...

Chapter 11 of my new book The Guardian Gateway is devoted to helping you open to receive, and this week we're engaging with the energy of Receiving.

As I say in the book, I'm willing to bet that you actually give much more than you receive. 

There can be lots of reasons for this: a hidden feeling ...

When I was born, my family already consisted of a mom, a dad, and two sisters (one 6 years old, and one eight). 

Our closet was full of matching little dresses that my Grandma had bought for my sisters—two of each style. Those dresses were symbolic of the fact that there was a complete family in ex...
