Advent Calendar Blog 2022 – The Power of Affirmations
I let go of what no longer serves me. This is an affirmation that I repeat to myself daily, as a reminder that I do not wish to hold on to grudges, resentment and the need to be right.

Advent Calendar Blog 2022 – Having Coherence with the Universe
There are a few people in my life with whom I have synchronicity.

Advent Calendar Blog 2022 – What is your gift to give away?
Could you name your five greatest talents, if asked? By talents, I mean a natural ability to do something, like having a green thumb, or a beautiful singing voice.

Advent Calendar Blog 2022 – To be or not to be….

Advent Calendar Blog 2022 – Doing Your Best

Advent Calendar Blog -2022 – Leading the Changes in Your Life
We’ve often been given the metaphor of making our way down a road or path as a comparison to going though life.
