It can be very easy to feel stuck in a rut when you’re grieving. Making a change, no matter how big or small, can help us to break free of a rut and help us to start feeling a little bit happier in our life.

Some of my best memories are from these special Hookey days when we intentionally put the cares of the day aside just to be together. Please take the time to purposely plan to make as many special memories with your loved ones you still have here.

Setting intentions can help us focus our energy and align our actions with our desires. Remember the Universe always has our back, so ask and you shall receive.

Doing a spring cleaning can be very cathartic. We need to let go of the old, in order to make room for the new.

Let love lead the way, always in all ways. This is a quote my son in spirit wrote with me this morning. We need to remember to love one another and to always lead with love.

The path may be right in front of us, yet twists and turns might steer us off course. Believe in your inner knowing to steer you back on the path your soul desires.

Right now much of the area around me is frozen solid. Getting frozen in place can happen to us while we are grieving as well.

What we experience and go through in life can sometimes be referred to as “baggage”. We have the power to make the choice to not carry any emotional baggage around that is not serving us well.

Certain dates on the calendar seem more difficult than others. New Years has always hit me the hardest and seems to be the most painful one to pass through. Grief does not end when the calendar changes.

Waking up on Christmas morning when you have a special someone in Spirit isn’t always all merry and bright. So, if you are not feeling so merry this morning, know you are not alone.

When is enough, enough? If you are doubting yourself and where you are at in life, tell yourself that just by being you, being here now, is all you need to be. You are enough.

Gratitude is a very big motivator for raising vibrations and promoting overall well being, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Rather than focus on what’s missing in your life, try shifting to the practice of gratitude for what you do have that brings you peace.

You can say these words to the Divine, to yourself, or even to another as a simple way to clear away anything that your heart desires with love. What a beautiful gift to your soul!

Just remember, we are always connected to our loved ones through our love. There really is no other way to change that connection.

We spend so much of our lives waiting. What if everything outside this physical world happens instantaneously and we don’t have to wait to manifest anything?

Perseverance is the ability to keep moving forward, even through opposition or difficulty. Through perseverance and determination, I know I can rely on Spirit to make their presence known.

Amor fati is a Latin phrase meaning “love of one’s fate”. Amor fati frees you by saying, “there is no other way things could have gone because they happened exactly as they should”.

You are not of the mind, you are of the soul. You truly are a soul in a human body, not a human body with a soul.

Happy Birthday Jacob! You were celebrating your fifth birthday in this picture. That is how I choose to remember you today!

What if we could allow ourselves to take a vacation from our grief? Remember your loved one in Spirit wants you to enjoy a little break from the pain, and that’s ok!
