Hello lovelies! Goodness this last six months has been incredibly busy. I seriously don't know how I had time to teach full time before I retired. Of course, I've added three jobs since then, all of them MY businesses. And I am entirely responsible for all three. That along with raising two special… Continue reading Sparkle & Shine Calendar is Here!

The Lies That Bind Us
You were created for a purpose and are amazing, creative, valuable, and productive. YOU were born to shine!! Do you believe that? Or do you struggle to believe that you were born to shine because instead you believe lies about yourself? Perhaps lies like you are stupid, unlovable, you will never amount to anything,… Continue reading The Lies That Bind Us
I Hope You Blew It!
I hope you have messed up really big. At least once in your life. Better yet, a whole bunch of messes. Mistakes. Wrong choices. Foot-in-your-mouth embarrassment and falling down onstage kinds of messing up. And please don’t think I’m mean, but I really hope that life has given you lemons. And disappointments. And some really… Continue reading I Hope You Blew It!
Self-Care Is Love
We put everyone and everything else first, at the expense of our health and spirit. Society has programmed us that way. Stop listening to the lies. You are enough already. MORE than enough. You do not have to earn your way or work to deserve love (I learned this way too late in life)… Continue reading Self-Care Is Love
What’s In A Word?
The year is flying by and we are well into 2016. At this point, if we made New Year’s resolutions, about eighty percent of us will have abandoned them. That used to be me but I don’t set resolutions any more. I’ve adopted a different approach to help me focus on reaching important life… Continue reading What’s In A Word?

First You Must Trust Yourself
First you must trust yourself...if you can't, you may put too much weight on what others think or say. Everything you need is inside you. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. You are enough. You are capable. You are fabulous. Your own mind and heart know. Truly. Just take the time to see and… Continue reading First You Must Trust Yourself
Why NOT Me?
You should never feel as if you are insignificant and undeserving. Dream that dream. Set those goals before you. Because, why shouldn't you reach them? You, as much as anyone you admire, deserve the chance to do what your heart desires. Yep, sometimes it takes a long time. And it's really, really tough. But that… Continue reading Why NOT Me?
We Can’t Give More Than What We Are
Without giving ourselves compassion, we can't be compassionate. When we judge ourselves harshly, we can't be accepting. If we feel that our lives lack, we can’t give generously. When we feel that we are not enough, we can't lift up and applaud others. When we take ourselves too seriously, we can’t enjoy life. If we don’t love… Continue reading We Can’t Give More Than What We Are
You Are Significant and You Matter!
There are times that we feel very unimportant. We ALL have experienced that feeling. But I am here to verify that you DO matter... to the people whose lives you touch every day, to our world because of your light shining in it, to our earth and the everyday choices you make to care for… Continue reading You Are Significant and You Matter!
