We’ve wrapped up our series on the chakras where we first received a basic introduction to our chakras and then learned how to harness our chakral energy to add more vitality to our lives and reduce stress. Finally, the last post in our chakra series outlined several more strategies for freeing up your chakral energy by releasing chakral blocks.

Even though I had originally planned for this series to only have four posts, I have found that I’m just not quite ready to say good-bye to the fascinating world of chakra energy.

Seven Fab-YOU-lous Ways to Make the Most of Your Birthday

Make the Most of Your BirthdayIt’s my birthday week and I’m so excited I can hardly stand it. Yes–another birthday means that I’m getting older, but another birthday ALSO means cake, presents, kind messages from friends and cake (wait–did I already mention that?)

I love birthdays because they give us the perfect excuse to celebrate ourselves–and let’s face it, that is something that we don’t do nearly enough of.

If you’re like most women, you probably spend 364 days a year paying attention to everyone and every thing else on the planet more than you pay attention to yourself. On your birthday however; it is only natural and in fact, encouraged to take a little time to celebrate YOU.

Fab Factor #11: Spirituality

Summer is the Perfect Time to Connect with Your Spirit

connect with your spiritWhen and how do you nurture your spirit? Do you have a specific spiritual practice that you follow on a consistent basis? Personally; I  know the value of connecting with my spirit on a regular basis and yet for some reason, I find this to be more challenging during the summer months. Between vacations, kids being out of school and a more relaxed work schedule, I find it a challenge to maintain the spiritual practices that are practically second nature to me during the rest of the year.

I was lamenting about all of this one day, to a friend of mine (who also happens to be a pastor) when he reminded me that being spiritual is about so much more than just going to church and that summertime offers an abundance of opportunities to practice my spirituality in ways that might not be so easy during other times of the year. He gave me a few quick suggestions (which I am passing along to you)  and then from his suggestions, I came up with some additional ways to experience a deeper spiritual connection during the long, hot days of summer.

If you’d like to connect with your spirit in a more meaningful and consistent manner this summer, give a few of these powerful practices a try…

31 Questions for 31 Days

July 2016

If you’ve studied any philosophy in high school or college, you’ve no doubt heard of The Socratic Method. It is a form of inquiry (named after the classical Greek philosopher, Socrates) that is based upon asking and answering questions to stimulate critical thinking and to illuminate ideas.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve always been one to ask a lot of questions. I’m sure that this sometimes annoyed my parents and exasperated my teachers, but asking questions is how I learned to satisfy my curiosity about the many interesting things in the world around me. Once I was in college however; my academic advisor taught me the value of asking questions in order to gain understanding not just of the world around me, but also of the things that were going on inside of me. Not only did this help me to finally decide upon a major–it also helped me to become more connected to my inner being and more sure of the direction that I wanted my life to take.
