The cusp of a new year is my favorite time to reflect on what I've learned. 2020 gave me a needed shift in perspective that taught me that timelines aren't everything- if it doesn't happen right now, it doesn't mean it won't. It taught me to focus on what I CAN do, and not what I can't. It made people more transparent than ever which wasn't always pleasant, but is actually a really good thing. And most of all, to be reminded that what is truly important is to just be grateful for the fact that we made it out alive and are allowed to continue through this radical shift our world is in, however long it lasts. 

I'm not hoping for anything in 2021- I've learned to release expectations and realize there is a lot that is not within our control, but I can say with 100% certainty that I will continue to make the best of whatever it brings. 

I'm sincerely grateful for another year to inspire, love, create, and heal with each and every one of you through Bridge To Balance. May the new year bless you with thriving health, an open mind, and a peaceful heart- Happy New Year!!

What are the words you use the most? What are the words you say to yourself? Are they loving? Are they kind and supportive? 

The affirmations I’m sharing with my Mala clients through email and Zoom for our Mala Meditations are some of the ones I created during my own self-healing journey. It’s important to remember that as you’re saying the words, whether out loud or in your head, that you FEEL what you’re saying- that’s what gives it intention. Words and the intention behind them are very powerful, and when done in repetition, the impact is magnified. This is why repeating affirmations can make positive cognitive shifts.
The deepest healing occurs in a state of relaxation which is another reason why meditation is so beneficial.
Mala Meditation combines powerful affirmations with repetition and relaxation, and is the perfect combination for healing!

“Christmas... It’s not the giving. It’s not the getting. It’s the loving.” ~ Garfield

I picked up that great quote from an old Christmas special my kids and I watched last night, and this treasured ornament is from one of my thoughtful clients. I hope everyone felt loved today.

The holidays can be a joyous time, and it can simultaneously be a difficult time for many. This year especially brings changes and challenges that we are all struggling to adjust to. 

I’ve experienced loss in many different ways throughout my life, but the past few years (especially the past few months), I have experienced more drastic changes and losses in relationships than ever, and I know I’m not alone. It makes it more evident just how precious a kind word or gesture is.
If you’re wondering what you can do for someone, just be nice. Say kind things. Show them love. That’s all. A little bit goes a very long way.

I’m filled with Christmas spirit this year because I have so much to be grateful for, including the fact that my children and I are safe, healthy, and we know how to make our own happy. We are so thankful for the friends and family who’ve continued to show us love without any conditions.
My Christmas wish is that everyone at a minimum feels LOVED. Love is simply the very best gift you can give and receive!

Merry Christmas, and love and blessings to all from our little family to yours!

It’s that time of year... 

It takes some effort to appreciate the present for what it is instead of longing for what was or what never got to be. 

There are many gifts in the present.
