Keep your head up, love! Spring is here.  Surround yourself with positive people, beautiful surroundings, and things that make your heart sing. Allow yourself to fully enjoy each moment. Try to remember when you were a kid and how life seemed so simple and care free. Go to your "happy" spot and bathe in it. Go ahead....close your eyes and feel that sunshine on your face, the grass between your toes, and the dirt underneath your nails. I used to love laying on my back in the grass. My friends and I would lay for hours with our eyes closed "staring" at the sun. We called it "frying eggs". We had a blast being ourselves. Our imaginations ran wild and we provided the best free entertainment for each other.
If your having a tough time right now and can't put your finger on what's going on OR you have way too many things going on that is causing you to be stressed, thwarted, and unhappy...Try this!
Write a gratitude list. Think about what is working well in your life. What are your blessings and strengths? Who are the people in your life that you are grateful for? What things in your life bring you joy and comfort. Write it down! Then read it every morning with your coffee/tea or before your go to sleep at night. OR BOTH. Know that you are loved unconditionally.
Sending you love today! I hope you have a great day rain or shine!
May 8th Reiki Level II!!

Spring has arrived! This past weekend was Redbud Weekend in Berkeley Springs and the trees were in full bloom. There is still a chill in the air, but the sun is shining and the grass is growing! I know I say this every spring, but get OUTSIDE! I have enjoyed my evening song sung by the peepers, the multiple encounters with creatures big and small (mice (yikes!), an Egyptian snake (that's what I called it), an opossum(eeek!), hawks, and even a hoot owl), and endured the first Thunderstorm of the season while sitting on my screened in porch. What an amazing light show it was! I am redesigning my gardens, painting random things inside and outside with a plethora of colors I found in the basement, and getting ready to purge all of the cabinets and closets. I don't know about you, but this winter was long and cold! I have enjoyed the daily shot of vitamin C, while out playing in the posies. So, get OUTSIDE already! I have posted a date for Reiki Level II! May 8th!

Last weeks class was awesome! Thanks ladies for trusting me to teach you this ancient healing technique. During Reiki II, I introduce pendulums, scanning chakras, and talk about intuition being heightened after receiving the attunement.
We talked a lot about the Chakras. The week before the class, I was feeling a bit thwarted. I decided to pull my pendulum out and scan my chakras to see where I needed Reiki. It worked like a charm and I spent 1 hour on taking care of myself and getting those chakras spinning.
Taking care of ourselves can be tough. Especially when you can't put your finger on what is bothering you. By using a pendulum, you can find out what chakra has a block and what you need to work on to unblock it. If you have taken a Reiki Class, you have the tools (your hands) to get the healing process started and get your chakras clear. Haven't taken a class? I have Reiki I Class coming up! February 20th!! It's a perfect month to give yourself this gift! Reiki can help you heal. You can heal yourself by learning this ancient healing technique!!

Happy Autumn! The clocks have fallen back and the leaves have been sent down to the ground from the crazy wind we have had. I send my thoughts and prayers to the victims of Sandy. My lil town was lucky and I am so thankful. I did see the community come together once again. People were there for each other. It just gives me that warm and fuzzy feeling just thinking about it. Thank you to all who shared there homes, showers, generators, refrigerators, etc. etc. with there fellow neighbors and friends.
     It is time to slow down and take a breath! I don't know about you, but this past summer was a busy one. I am ready for cold evenings inside under a blanket, good books, and funny movies to take my mind off everyday stressors. The holidays are right around the corner...eeeek! Sorry for the reminder! My Thanksgiving will be so special this year! For the first time since I have been in Berkeley Springs (10 years) my family is coming to spend turkey day with me! I am so excited to show my sisters this awesome town! I am so blessed and so thankful for family and friends!
Tomorrow is my first Reiki Class in a year! Looking forward to sharing this incredible gift with my students! So excited to be able to spend a whole day just talking about Reiki and the benefits! Man, I am so blessed! I definitely love what I do and do what I Love!
