After the crazy year that was, there is the fall and winter that are yet to be. After what has been one of the most challenging periods in recent human history, I think we could all use a little breathing room and now is the perfect time to find it. As it happens, there are a multitude of reasons why this change of season is so very good for the soul, but in the interest of space and reading time, I am only going to share some of the best reasons. So now you may be thinking I’ve quite lost my mind. Aren’t the warmer months the best times for…

How to Start a Meaningful Life-Enhancing Small Business
Launching a small business gives you the opportunity to fulfill your personal and professional ambitions but choosing to run a meaningful business can transform every aspect of your life. As well as giving you an added sense of purpose, a meaningful enterprise can increase your job satisfaction and enable you to have a positive impact on the world around you. You might already be aware of some of the required necessities of running a business. If you have decided to open a healthcare practice for example, then you will know which regulations to follow and which resources to implement, such as revenue cycle management behavioral health software.

When Lightning Strikes, the Universe Pays Back & Link Up On the Edge #259
I have been struggling for weeks to get on top of blog posts and photographs, but I just can’t seem to get there. It has been a rather trying few weeks after the family health emergency that took us out of town two weeks ago. The health scare is under control but I don’t like to reveal any more details about that since it’s not my health to share. But I do want to share the story of that weekend and the chain of events that culminated from it which put me on an emotional roller coaster of a lifetime. But sometimes when lightning strikes us, the universe ends up…

Yin Yoga Affirmations for Serenity & Link Up On the Edge #257
I want to thank you all for the wonderful feedback on my posts about the yoga affirmations and chakra practices that I have been incorporating into my weekly exercise and meditation routine. I have previously shared Affirmations for Confidence and Self Esteem (Solar Plexus Chakra), Affirmations for Creativity and Sensuality (Sacral Chakra), and Affirmations for Love and Compassion (Heart Chakra). I have been sharing each of these affirmation practices in no particular order as I choose my daily yoga practices based on what needs work on that particular day. Some days I stick strictly to strengthening and/or flexibility sessions which don’t include any sort of affirmation or self reflective work.…

How to Get into the Best Shape of Your Life after 40
Society has been telling us for generations that once we hit the age of 40, it’s all downhill, including our ability to maintain healthy levels of fitness. Clearly, there are people around the globe who have thumbed their noses at this message and made it a mission to get into the best shape of their lives in their 40’s and beyond. There is no age limit on making your health and fitness a priority. When we are in our teens, 20’s, and even 30’s, we often fail to account for the aging process as we establish our diet and exercise routines during that first segment of our lives. But what…

Affirmations for Love and Compassion & Link Up On the Edge #254
I am continuing with my yoga affirmations, this time focusing on the Heart Chakra and Affirmations for Love and Compassion. I have previously shared Affirmations for Confidence and Self Esteem (the Solar Plexus Chakra) and Affirmations for Creativity and Sensuality (the Sacral Chakra). I have been following along with Yoga with Kassandra on Youtube and really focusing on her chakra and shadow work. Many of her yin yoga practices also incorporate some affirmation work as well which I may share at a later time after I finish all seven chakras. I have not been sharing these in any particular order as I turn to these practices with a focus on…

Affirmations for Creativity and Sensuality & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #231
I am super late with getting today’s post published because Sunday night I stayed up way too late engaging in some intensely physical pleasures of the carnal nature. It was well worth the sleep deprivation, but my mind and body were so exhausted yesterday that putting articulate words onto a page was nearly impossible so I didn’t even try. On Friday, I shared a post about the solar plexus chakra work I had done through yoga practice and the responses were so wonderful that I thought I would continue with the other chakras. I have been following Yoga with Kassandra and her yin yoga series for chakra alignment. Since sex…

Affirmations for Confidence and Self Esteem & Link Up On the Edge #252
A few weeks ago, I shared a post about my struggle with reconciling humility and confidence. For my entire life, I believed that one could not be both humble and confident until I had an epiphany that was triggered by this quote… “Humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less.” Rick Warren These 13 words delivered a powerful punch to my psyche with the very desirable result of helping me to find my own confidence. But finding my confidence completely was not the result of reading one simple quote. It is the result of some really hard introspective work that I have been doing this…

A Daily Reminder About Humility with Mapiful & Link Up On the Edge #250
I have been struggling recently with self confidence and humility. I have long held onto the belief that confidence and humility are in direct opposition with one another. And rather than being perceived as a proud or overly confident individual, I would much prefer to be viewed as humble. As a result of my misperception, my self confidence sunk to a level of complete and total self deprecation in an effort to become a perfect example of humility. Up until about 6 weeks ago, I held very firmly to this belief that it was impossible to have both confidence and humility at the same time. Then I received my daily…
