We’ve all had dreams at some point in our lives. We may have buried them deep, given up on them, or forgotten about them. But dreams that are part of our Soul’s Song tend to travel with us and never fully die. Even if these dreams or wishes only resurface in a random thought that we brush aside, they have a tendency to bubble up whether we want them to or not. These dreams want to find a way.

Often a big clue to your Soul’s Song is to look at the “wishe...

Living in the past is quicksand. Whether you view the past as beautiful and better than the present or horrible and laced with pain, you’re caught in quicksand. The past is an especially dangerous quicksand that no one else can help you escape. The more you idealize or demonize the people and events of the past, the deeper you’ll sink and the more miserable you’ll become.

Anyone who comes along to ask forgiveness for their role in your past is extending a hand to help you from your quagmire. ...

I work with a lot of Christian business owners. Of all the mistakes I see them make, the number one mistake is not taking action when inspiration strikes. Many people take what the Spirit inspires them to do and write it on a to-do list for later. Maybe they’ll do it tomorrow, next week or sometime next month.

This is a mistake. You have natural jet fuel packaged in with your spiritual downloads. Harness it! Don’t waste it! Don’t let it dissipate. The video below explains how to harness that ...

One summer a friend stayed with us for a couple months. While she was here, she made a list of 80 things she learned from her time in our home. One of the things was that it is okay to celebrate what you did well. It’s easy to get busy with projects and day-to-day tasks and not take the time to really celebrate what’s going right in our lives. When we don’t take the time to celebrate, we can easily get in an emotional rut and may even start feeling depressed.

I’m a big believer in rejoicing i...

My friend Lisa Rae Preston (a personality theory expert) used to tell me that our childhood holds the keys to our life purpose and our mission – or what I would call your “Soul’s Song.” What interested you back then? What hobbies did you pursue? They are clues – even if they are only symbolic clues — of what you’re here to be and do on the planet. Recently, I gained some incredible insight into my purpose and message by reflecting on a song from my childhood and a memory that has stuck with me s...

Do you struggle with starting and completing projects? Do you want to be healthier, happier and more fit in both your mind and body? If so, you’ll want to hear what my client LoriKay Coleman has to say. LoriKay had been feeling the nudge to create a Weight Loss, Health and Happiness Class. But she felt immobilized. All the steps necessary overwhelmed her. Do you ever get overwhelmed with all the mind-chatter that sets in when you think about a goal or dream? If so, you’ll relate to LoriKay’s sto...

In my 30+ years of working with small businesses owners, I’ve noticed that what holds most of them back is themselves. They flounder for years, not taking concerted, productive action because they keep getting in their own way. One of the biggest culprits is old limiting stories about who they are and what’s possible (or not possible) for them. But, primarily they don’t take effective action because they lack vision. They don’t know who they are or where they are going. They focus too much on th...

Do you have a dream you’re going for? Have you given it your best effort to write it down, envision it happening, and taken inspired action?

Since you set out for your dream, have you encountered any setbacks? challenges? problems? Does it feel like you take more steps backwards than forward?

Here’s something few people in the self-help world will tell you, but I know it from personal experience…

The bigger the goal/dream, the more likely you will have to CHANGE to become the person cap...

Do you have big dreams or goals but feel more like a rat on a wheel? Are you self-sabotaging or getting in your own way? If so, read on…

It’s very common to set goals and end up sabotaging them. The subconscious mind (that part of you that holds your core beliefs and is like your operating system controlling your breathing, heart beat, automatic responses, and how you react when your safety feels threatened) does not like change. It does not like it one little bit.

Change … even good chang...

Have you ever faced a big challenge that ripped at the foundational security of your life? In 2001, my then-husband and I were in a financial situation that not only threatened our financial peace but also our marriage. I was doing everything I could to find a solution. Then, I met a woman who taught me how to think and how to understand God’s universal laws of thought, abundance, and how to bounce back from setbacks.

Leslie Householder took me under her wing and taught me concepts that immed...
