Migration around the world is causing the entire world population to rethink its place here on Earth. Many are migrating for need, others for opportunity and still others just following other people’s lead.

Whatever the reasons for said migration, this migration will surely cause change and maybe even havoc, as it has done in the past. This is not the first time that the world is seeing mass migration.

When wondering what to do with your days or your weekends when you are not working, take a moment and pause to see what needs to get done before you have some downtime.

Weeknights and weekends are meant to be relaxing, but we can’t lose sight of what is important to accomplish. By accomplishing things in life, we actually have the ability to relax more during our time off.

Today is a day to be inspired to do what it is you do best.  We all have that one thing that makes us happy and when we do it, we thrive.

Well, today is a day to do that one thing, whatever that thing is for you.   As you read these words, you know exactly what it is that you need to do.

Business is happening as usual around the world since the pandemic ended, or at least business has tried to happen as usual.

As you may have noticed, there has been a shift in supply and demand and our economies have fluctuated in the process. We have all felt the side effects of the pandemic on our lives and yet we must keep moving forward.

Have you planned your yearly vacations yet? Have you sat down with your calendar and blocked your days off so that nothing can interfere with that downtime.

Have you conversed with your family members so that they do the same and so that you are all on the same page?

Uniqueness is unique to us. That’s right, each of us is unique and only we as individuals can decipher our uniqueness.

Do you have a certain way? A certain style? Do you like to live a little differently than those you know? You should. In fact, everyone should feel this way about themselves.

Joy is a wonderful word. It resonates instantly. It's felt when you walk into a room full of children playing. It's amazing.

Joy is attainable by everyone. It is and will always be one of the most desirable states of being. So, how can we maintain joy in our lives 7 days a week, 24 hours a day?

Self love is a powerful thing. It is cultivated throughout childhood and honed throughout adulthood.

Not happy with the amount of self love you are feeling? Not a problem. All you have to do is ask for help and you will be led to exactly where the problem is.

Nature has a way of healing us. It helps us ground and remain connected to what’s important in life.  Nature reduces stress and improves immune systems.  Nature is amazing. 

As we go about our busy lives, we may find that the only nature that we immerse ourselves in are local parks, the tree lined streets of our neighborhoods or the trees surrounding our kid’s busy extracurricular activities.

Food is the center of wellness. Our food is our medicine, both preventative and curative.

The food that we consume will have lifelong effects and we are well aware, now more than ever, that food is and will always be important to our wellbeing.

What is your life’s purpose? What were you meant to do here in this lifetime on Earth, and are you doing it?

These are questions we all consider from time to time and when we actually pause, we can tune into the answers.

Animals require love and attention, even those that live in the wild. They live in animal kingdoms and communities in the most beautiful places in nature. And when left alone, they thrive.

But, when their habitats are invaded or their lands taken away, they suffer tremendously. We all feel that suffering as the animal kingdoms and communities are dismantled.

Our children gather and hang out with their best friends in all kinds of places. You see them in each other’s homes, in neighborhoods and on the streets. They frequent parks and trails and restaurants and bars. Depending on the age, they may even be road tripping together and concert going.

Whatever our children gather to do, they are gathering to do it with their peers in community. They are gathering so that they can be accompanied at those ages and learn lessons, share lessons and remember lessons.

Renewable energy is all the rage. But, the impact on the environment is one that, like all energy consumption, has its ups and downs.

How do we use the Earth’s energy without depleting it? How do we give and take in equal exchange?

Patience is a virtue, or so the saying goes. But, what is patience exactly? It is the ability to calmly wait for what you are looking for in life. So, in essence, it is waiting to continue to receive that which you feel you are destined to receive.

Vacation has a way of lifting spirits. They give us the much needed break that we all deserve.

But what happens if vacation is not taken? What happens if we find ourselves too short of money, or too short of time? What happens when we don’t take a break from our daily routines and rest during a time period longer than a weekend?

As adults we may find that we don’t play enough. We may get too wrapped up in our jobs and responsibilities that the concept of play does not come to mind.

Luckily, we are always blessed with that one playful person in our life that was placed there just to remind us to play.

Water has a wonderful way of balancing us. Drinking water, wading and swimming in water, or simply sitting by water fills us with energy and wellness.

What if you don’t live by water? Not a problem. You can always visit. What if water is too far away to visit? Take a look around. There are always small watering holes in your community.

Have you ever wondered how nature works? Have you ever wondered how intrinsically connected it all is?

Well, if you have, you were meant to understand the why of it all. The why humans and animals were created and how we all connect to the nature that surrounds us.

Birds have a way of making us look up. We look up as they fly above and connect to them and the sky that they fly through.

The magical flight that they participate in is always awe inspiring. So much so that we have mimicked it in our modern lives with airplanes, hot air balloons, helicopters and anything else that can get us into the air.
