I think that creativity is an essential part of our being. It shows up in myriad ways, whether it’s fine art or kitchen art or musical art or the art in the way we are with people. Art is every where. As an artist I thought I’d share this beautiful youtube clip with you (yet again 🙂 )… It just, makes me smile.

I have been chatting a bit about finding something Radically Beautiful with my clients recently. This effort is a great way to bring you back into the moment when we find ourselves crazed from the day. I tend to find the way the light looks as my radically beautiful thing. Here a couple of pictures to illustrate some light I find pretty breathtaking. My friend Michael Alan Wells took the picture on the left. Now let’s take a deep breath in and a deep breath out… Ahhhhhh. Taking advantage of this skill can do so much for you. It not only brings you right back into presence but it goes so far as to immediately lower your blood pressure. I find seeing that which is Radically beautiful is even better than asking myself “Where are my feet right now?”. Which has been my go to, to bring myself back into the present moment. This skill helps us to see the beauty in the world instead of the thing that might be taking us out of the moment because we don’t like what’s currently happening. Once we take a beat and stop and “look up and look out” and relax into the moment we have an easier time assessing what is really going on for us. so that we can choose what we want to feel and think.
Which leads me to my next thought. I was out and about today with my sweetie and A-bomb and was looking at my phone when I stopped and looked up and looked out and realized I was missing the day. How often have you been lost in a gadget and missed out on what was really happening right in front of you? I almost missed out on a spectacular day. So put down that gadget (of course after you stop reading this post :-)) and get out of the house today!
Share your #RadicallyBeautiful thoughts with me today!

Today is December 1st and I’m absolutely “Gob Smacked” that we are so close to the end of the year…. I remember as a child adults saying that the older one becomes the faster the years will go. And at that time I thought they were all crazy but now? I’m right there with them. It’s also truly the holiday season now (even though the stores would like us to think otherwise) and as a real lover of this time of year I always watch the Big Crosby Danny Kaye movie White Christmas. Of all the absolutely quintessential Christmas music in it my favorite of all time is Count You Blessings. And since I’ve been blogging quite a bit these days about gratitude I thought I’d add this one into the mix. Enjoy!
Lots of Love!

A few years ago I did a Gratitude Experiment for a month and blogged about it…. And you know what I miss it. The intensity of it…
I’ve kept a Gratitude Journal for well over a decade now and I have always found myself to be a very Gr8ful human but I got to wondering…. What would be different if I stated my gratitude not only throughout the day but out loud so that others heard me. Well I found out a few very powerful things:
This month-long experiment was amazing! So what was an experiment, became be part of my everyday life. Here are the 5 things I am Gr8ful 4, for today!
Today I’m Gr8ful 4:
I invite you to join me! Start telling me what you are Gr8ful 4 and see what shows up in your life. Tweet it, Facebook it or simply comment here. I’d LOVE to know and share in this journey with you.
Lots of Love!

Thanksgiving is a time of year that always reminds me how grateful I am… And in the last few days there have been a few things that have happened to remind me even more of just this. Today’s blog post I’m taking a moment to ask that you tell those close to you how much they mean to you and extend this love out to others that you come in contact with today. Being in a place of love not only is good for you directly but helps others in kind. Here is a wonderful Shaker song that I simply love, love, love… Simple gifts!
Truly sending Love to you today!
And Happy Thanksgiving!
