Tis the season for resolutions and intentions. I don't know about you, but my email is currently overflowing with end of year/beginning of year offers. I love that people have embraced the practice of reflection and intentional creation.

Welcome to the January Pick-A-Card reading reveal. What is a pick-a-card reading? It's where I pull three cards based on a specific question for all of you out there. You'll look at the picture with the cards facing down and choose the card number that attracts you the most.

You know the end of the year is coming soon when you start writing 2022 on things. Yikes! The end of the year always seems to come at warp speed. I think it happens sometime at the end of October. It’s Halloween and then I wake up and it’s the New Year. I always have the best intentions to make space to reflect, but sometimes that just doesn’t happen.However, this year is different. And it all started with my word of the year.

Stress. We all have it. But sometimes we don’t slow down enough to see it creeping up on us. How many times have you looked back and said, “Oh yeah, I guess there WERE red flags waving at me…”So how do you know if you’re stressed—I mean really stressed? Well, in order to avoid a full on meltdown, I’m sharing with you a little visualization I do with myself when I feel things starting to get overwhelming. The interesting things is that I often think I’m handling it ok and when I tune in, I find out I’m not.

Life is imperfect and that’s what makes it beautiful, but how do we handle these meltdown moments? Here is what I do when life interrupts my flow, i.e. I can’t meditate, don’t have time to pull cards, can’t find time to journal, etc. This usually happens when life just keeps handing me challenge after challenge and the only thing I can do is just keep my head above water.
