You are not alone! Join our monthly zoom meeting inspiring women’s clarity, courage and connection on April 18 @ 10 am PST.
“I have been looking for a women’s group and the Women’s Connection is the answer. A great variety of women and easy conversation.“
“I left the group feeling a greater sense of self and a relatable connection with women in the group.“
“I love this group!. I was surprised to find women dealing with the same challenges that I am.”
Our monthly connection group has been insightful, empowering and fun! Women love connecting with each other and receive value from sharing their experiences and life stories.
Life is full of challenges and changes. You don’t have to face them alone.
Join us for our monthly Conscious Choices Women’s Connection. We will use tools and resources from my latest book, Conscious Choices: A Women’s Guide to Clarity, Courage and Connection. Participants will receive practices to liberate limiting thinking and transform old beliefs into creative action.
Join us for laughter, inspiration and maybe even some tools to support living a joy-filled life.
Third Saturday of the month. Next meeting is Saturday, April 18, 2026 at 10 am PST .
“If you can’t do something about the situation in your life, go be a blessing to someone else.” Joyce Meyer
We spend so much time worrying about things we often can’t do anything about. We obsess about family and friends and wish they would change. We wake up stressing about things that haven’t happened yet. We worry for the state of our country, the world, for the planet, for our children.
Something powerful happens when we move from the place of needing to get something to being willing to give. The best place to start is being willing to listen. Listen to the experiences of others. Listen to their stories, their pain, their process. Listen without attachment to an outcome. Practice compassion and patience.
Then when you are ready to move outside your comfort zone, a good question to ask yourself is: “How can I be of service for the highest good today? Please guide me to think the thoughts, speak the words and take the actions that will allow me to be love, and to bring that love into service.” Then observe everything from that moment forward as a sign responding to that question.
When we give in service, we give in love. And love lifts us out of fear. In his book, The Kingdom, Paul Selig shares, “Any encounter with fear can become an opportunity to say “Thank you, no. This is not a requirement for me. This is not the dance I wish to partake in.” Any encounter with love becomes the opportunity to re-know each other, re-know any possibility in a higher way. When you are in a dance with love, you are in an encounter with God.”
You are needed during this very important time. Some are needed to be in prayer and meditation, others are needed to give hugs or to hold signs, others are needed to serve in positions of influence. Some are needed to raise a family, to care for others, or to stand up for those who cannot speak for themselves.
You are needed. Your gifts are needed. Your presence is needed. Your love and peace are needed. Ask yourself, “Where can I be a blessing today?”
“You alone are the judge of your worth and your goal is to discover infinite worth in yourself, no matter what anyone else thinks.” –Depak Chopra
After completing the eighth grade at the Catholic school I attended, I transferred to the local junior high. I had been with the same group of students since kindergarten and it was overwhelming to go to a new school. I was excited to meet a new friend there, but was so afraid she was repulsed by my mouthful of metal braces. I remember I tried to reassure her by declaring, ” I am sure you will like me better next week when my braces are off.” Ouch!
Have you noticed that those childhood insecurities seem to follow us along throughout life? That nagging voice in the back of the mind that constantly worries and stress– Am I good enough? Will I be liked? Am I okay?
Our worthiness may seem elusive if we look for validation from the outside world. Worthiness is not based on your financial portfolio, career achievement, or the car you drive. Worthiness is an inside job and a conscious connection we make knowing we are an extension of the creative energy of life itself. We are loved unconditionally just as we are.
Recognizing our worthiness lifts us into a sense of well-being. We have an inner knowing that each aspect of self— spirit, mind, body and emotions— is an intricate part of our wholeness. We experience an appreciation of this holistic nature and how it all works together for our highest good.
This sense of gratitude and appreciation expands into a powerful presence of love. Love opens us to Infinite Wisdom available to us at every moment. Wisdom is the creative spark, inspiration, and illumination that shows up just when we need it. It can appear as needed information, project support revealed or simply a connection from a friend. Wisdom is inner knowing that all is well.
Yet this can all feel elusive when we are stressed, worried and hurried in life’s busy world. It takes conscious effort to stop, listen, and allow ourselves to be nurtured and nourished.
Take time to step away from your calendar, computer and commitments. Schedule a time and place where you can renew and replenish. Hone your spiritual practice in on your sacredness. Celebrate your Oneness with the Divine. And when that nagging voice pipes up to criticize, simply reply, “STOP IT! Go Away! I choose only high vibration thoughts today.”
You are beautiful just as you are. You are worthy and powerful. You are amazing.
“We are at the “beyond reason” point of our evolution, meaning that the type and scope of the problems we are now confronting cannot be resolved by a mere gathering of “reasonable” people around a table.” Carolyn Myss
Carolyn Myss says that we cannot reason with Mother Nature, sanction our way through global warming, or “declare war on the melting ice caps in the Arctic in order to make them cease their melting.” We are at a crossroads in humanity.
Albert Einstein’s statement, “You cannot solve the problem at the level of the problem,” wakes us up to the fact that the challenges of the world are not going to be solved by people sitting around the table debating the best strategy. We are all being called to step up and contribute to the bettering of the world.
It is time to rise up and answer the call for greater healing.
But that doesn’t mean we have to quit our jobs, leave our homes and go in search of answers to world peace and global warming while neglecting our responsibilities. We can awaken to the fact that we each contribute to the change in the world as we deepen in consciousness. Every time we forgive someone, let go of an attachment, remove a mental block, or transcend an emotional conflict, we are raising the vibration and contributing to the consciousness of the planet.
We don’t need to know how things will change, we just need to be willing: Be willing to be held accountable for our own healing. Be willing to have the difficult conversations. Be willing to know there is a Power and Presence for Good working in our life and in all humanity.
Be willing to envision a world that works for everyone.
Affirmation: I am now choosing to think only those thoughts which will bring me peace and will align me to a higher consciousness.
“The highest attitude of mind, from which all else springs, is one of perfect calm and absolute trust in the Spirit.” — Ernest Holmes
As a new Science of Mind student, I would passionately pray my spiritual mind treatment. Immediately I would speculate how my prayer was going to be answered. My prayers were usually about money since I believed that there wasn’t enough to go around. I would wait for the mail to show up only to find an empty mailbox. I would check to see if any clients called with potential business, but no one called.
When I complained to my spiritual mentor, she reminded that it was none of my business where or how my good will appear. She said, “If you continue to look for it, you haven’t developed your faith.”
I discovered there are three steps to building faith: Hope, trust and gratitude. Hope is a sense of doubtful expectation. We hope something good will happen to us but underneath, doubt and fear linger. Those doubts and fears produce a type of anxiety called waiting. Waiting for things to change, waiting for circumstances to get better, etc.
As we release the doubts and fears, we begin to develop trust. We have a deeper conviction in the creative process of life and develop greater patience. The stress of waiting is replaced by patience and a sense of calmness that all is well.
Here was the important part for me: refrain from searching for the demonstration of good. Instead, it was essential to give thanks that what I desired was already received. Gratitude is the expansiveness of faith.
In today’s uncertainty, I engage this practice quite often. It is so easy to be swayed by circumstances in the world. I recognize my fears and beliefs and ask what is mine to do. Then I shift into trust, knowing I am not alone. I look around and express gratitude knowing that something greater is being revealed.
I learned a long time ago, it is none of my business how my prayer will be demonstrated. I now give thanks that it is already received. Lesson learned.
Affirmation: I give thanks that what I desire is already received.
“I am not a victim of the world I see. ” A Course in Miracles
Thank goodness for spiritual practice! I am NOT a victim of the world I see, even when the headlines say otherwise. Some days, actually most days lately, I have to call on every prayer, every practice, every resource to stay centered in Truth. The real Truth, not the nonsense being broadcast on the news.
Do not get attached to what is said on the news. Circumstances change in an instant. Here is the thing–If you and I focus on what is not working, or spend our energy being upset about what we see, it only adds to the low vibration energy that we are hearing about. From Paul Selig, “What you put in darkness calls you to that darkness. What you damn, damns you back. What you bless, blesses you.”
Stand in the truth that anything is possible. Stay in gratitude. Surround yourself with a vision for what you want to see in the world. Connect with other like-minded friends. Join a group and make some phone calls or write letters. Do things that bring you joy. Bless those around you. Make time to play.
Here are some links to prayers and resources to help keep you lifted up in a vibration of hope and love.
