The Power of YOUR Life Story

Moonlight JournalingOne of the most powerful films I’ve ever seen is Freedom Writers. It continues to be one of my favorites.

It shows the power of journal writing – and telling one’s story through a voice that is unique to the storyteller. And through the pages of sharing this story, a larger sense of purpose begins to unveil.

For a taste of what the film is about, visit this link and watch the trailer: Freedom Writers

So much could change in our lives and in our world, if we just stepped into the power of our life story – learning its lessons and bettering ourselves in the process.

Celebrating the Winter Solstice

Winter Solstice

  • Would you like space to call your own this holiday season?
  • Would you like a place where you can celebrate your creativity and your intuition – and all your many gifts and contributions?
  • Would you like some support in identifying what you’d like to let go of – and what you’d like to keep – as you put closure on 2013?
  • Would you like a sacred space that could support you as you move into the New Year with grace and ease?
  • Would you like to dance with the energies of the Winter Solstice and apply the gifts of the winter season to your 2014 vision?

Connecting with Our Inner Light

New Moon ConstellationLike the moon, we all go through phases in our lives. We have ups and downs, we go forward and backward – and sometimes we seem to circle back around. We may hide behind the clouds or peek from beneath the clouds. But in the midst of what can feel like a blackout, when we are open to making a connection with our authentic self, we can get to a point where we’re able to beam with full light.

During a new moon phase, the sky is completely black, with the exception of little sparkles of light in the form of stars. It’s the point in every month when the moon takes a retreat and begins to grow again, redoubling her light and reflecting new creative energy on all worldly things.

Journal Writing and the Healing Process

Swimming with Maya

In my work as a life purpose coach and journal writing facilitator, I gently guide mothers on a path through their own life story – connecting the dots of what I call “pivotal life moments.” It’s these moments that bring a deeper, richer understanding of one’s life purpose.

Adversity is a big part of the life purpose journey. How we face the more challenging parts of lives, such as sorrow and grief, paints a bigger picture of why we’re here and what we’re meant to gain in order to better understand ourselves and the world around us.

As mothers, the relationships that we have with our kids are significant. But what happens when the relationship is suddenly cut short by tragedy? How do we make sense of it – and how to we go on?

Life Lessons in Spiritual Surrender

Erica - Radiant SurvivorToday, I have the great pleasure of being the host on Day 7 of Erica Tucci’s Virtual Blog Tour. Erica’s book Radiant Survivor: How to Shine and Thrive through Recovery from Stroke, Cancer, Abuse, Addiction and Other Life-Altering Experiences is celebrating its big Amazon launch on November 19th, 2013 at http://www.radiantsurvivor.com/book-launch/pages/pre-launch.php.

Erica Tucci had a full life as a corporate manager of a Fortune 500 company, a healing arts business owner and an author of three books. It all came to a screeching halt in June 2011 when she had a stroke that left her completely paralyzed on her right side. While spending more than two years in recovery, she gained much wisdom about what’s really important in life. She re-entered the world with a new mission: to use her story as an inspiration for others facing life challenges, which we all have, big or small. That story can be found in her brand new book, Radiant Survivor. Erica is also an official Online Ambassador for the American Stroke Association.
