Not a big fan of the commercialization around “Valentine’s Day”? One thing we can’t deny… “Love is in the air” and is a good enough reason to celebrate.
Here is an idea on how to spend a delicious Valentine’s Day, without overspending and avoiding the crowds. For quite some time now, my husband and I made the decision to celebrate Valentine’s Day in a creative way, which means–no over priced flowers or dinners. One of my most memorable Valentine’s, is the one we spent watching a movie, with candle lights, and eating artichokes in bed {it was awesome}. Read More…
Our bodies produce
the bodies of our children.
Our noisy minds produce
the fears of our children.
But the Tao produces
the spirit of our children.
Still the body.
Quite the mind.
Discover the spirit.
Tap into your inner wisdom by quieting your mind. Consciously find a space during the day to shift your attention to your inner body. Sit still under the sun, on your bed, or in your favorite place at home. Stay present, don’t think, feel the moment. Acknowledge the temperature, the colors of the room, the smells, the noise, the texture of the air, the taste of your mouth. When a thought enters your mind, acknowledge it by sending it away and bringing you attention back to all your senses. In silence journal about your feelings.
By drawing your attention once a day to what really matters in life–You. It will empower you to give the best of you to your love ones.

Do you know what emotions are driving your reactions? What makes you angry, sad, earnest, flat, inferior, preoccupied, excited..etc.? Sometimes we are clueless about our emotions and we go around life in automatic pilot. Almost everyday we bump into someone, that asks the routinely question of “How are you?” and we answer the typical way “Fine, thanks”. Did you ever wonder what the answer will be like, if you answer that same question from a different place, from a deeper understanding of yourself and your emotions. Perhaps your answer will be “I am ecstatic”. Read More…
A hero's journey
We all have had that feeling of…”I don’t think I can do this” or “I know is a great idea, but maybe is stupid and unreal after all”…blah, blah, blah, our fearfulness mind takes over.
Most of the people that read my blog are ready to jump and go for an objective that transcends a personal need. They want to make a difference, they want to change the world, they want to change more than just their life. Vertiginous feeling, I know. But I have to admit is one of the greatest feelings to have.

Read What One Of My Latest Clients Has To Say…
“If we can ask the questions, the answer lives somewhere inside of us…”
I love the world and the way it connects us to the right people, place and things when we need it. Andrea showed up in my life at a time when it was either break-down or break-through.
Her light ignited mine and well, she’s changed my life for which I’ll be eternally gratefully.
Emanating peace, love and power, Andrea uses all three to courageously goad what is already inside of us. Her passion and intuitive ability make this a ‘natural’ process unlike any other. She doesn’t have the answers. She knows that we do.
It’s not an easy or comfortable road. She invites you to join her on a discovery to unravel what you’ve worked so hard to create. Breaking down walls that block and paralyze, conquering those limiting self-beliefs…
When you can truly get ‘naked’ with yourself, you’ll realize that it’s been YOU, standing in the way all along.
She’s confident, raw and brutally honest. If you want someone to tell you what “you want to hear”, then she’s not for you…but if you want to take a really hard look at yourself, Andrea provides the mirror that will let you see the world as you see it…
And often times, all we need is a new lens.

Not enough money to follow your passions in life? I have good news for you, money is not what’s holding you back, what’s holding you back is YOU. We all have heard stories of very successful people that without any money, were able to build their dream life–without enough money of their own. Pay attention, I said not having enough money of their own. I am not saying money is not necessary, of course it is. Money is power. It gives you the freedom to do what your truly want. Money is abundant in the world around us, money is everywhere, in every person you meet, in every corner of the world, money is one of the most powerful energies that surround us here on earth.

My cousin Paula shared this with me. She is an amazing woman full of inner strength, best way to describe her “Love glue holding together a beautiful family of 6″.

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE
Enough money within her control to move out and rent a place of her own,
even if she never wants to or needs to….
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE
Something perfect to wear if the employer or date of her dreams wants to see
her in an hour….
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE
A youth she’s content to leave behind….
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE
A past juicy enough that she’s looking forward to retelling it in her old
age….
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE
A set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra….
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE
One friend who always makes her laugh and one who lets her cry…. Read More…
Go back and think of a moment in your life you were too worried or too apprehensive to make the next move. Did you know that in that precise moment you made a Subconscious or Superconscious choice to either act by love or fear. The Subconscious Mind contains memories of all the times in which you reacted from a survival instinct. Our Subconscious Mind also harbors our darker side, since is the home of negative emotions. Our saboteurs voice lives here, reminding us of the times we failed, the times we were not good enough, the times we got hurt. It has been trained to ask one of its favorites questions. Who do you think you are? Read More…
