Longest Living Sleeping Chihuahua

Nini sleeping in the car during rush hour traffic to work with me. While Megabyte (what a name!) might be the longest-living Chihuahua officially on record, I think my beloved Nini could definitely beat that record.  Nini is my spiritual animal, and the longest, most loyal, dedicated relationship I have had in my life, second to the one with my parents.  I attribute her longevity not just to the usual…

Moonlight with Me Under the Stars

I love how blue the sky is! Let's celebrate the sexy Full Moon tonight! It will be very striking in the sky since today was a gorgeous day! Another name for it is the pink moon and the first Full Moon of Spring. But is it actually pink?  Unfortunately, it is not, but the name does derive from the color of pink flowers called wild ground phlox.  In celebration of that pink-hued fauna,…

Can Wearing White Raise Your Vibrations?

Photo by Maria Perez Leiva, crochet top from our Italian Collection I have been a strong believer that the colors you wear and surround yourself with can have a profound impact on your energy level and mental well being.  In fact, I believe that colors can transform your life and help you attract what you want, as well as keeping away what you don't want. As for me, since the beginning of…

Traveling in Style

Hiking in the town of Cabrera, DR. The cutie in the back wants my hat! (Photo: Colleen Wolak) Greetings, it has been awhile, and I am back from a much needed Goddess sabbatical. If you live where I live - or have traveled to many major cities - I will bet that you have come across people who you instantly know are tourists, especially the North Americans (*smiles*).  I really never understood the concept…

Journal Writing is My Medicine

I apologize if my recent post seemed dark, moody, and somewhat emotional. I am in a much better place now. So with the Full Moon in September finishing up, I want to open you up to another powerful way to connect with your higher self: journal writing. It is a holistic approach to traditional therapy, and it really helps you to practice your communication skills, open up your Throat Chakra, and manage depression.…

Let Him Lead The Dance!

Letting my swing dance partner Dakota lead. Photo: Saigon Stars Band member, Huynh Minh-Hai. How do you spend your Friday nights?  I often spend mine dancing for sure!  Dancing not only makes me feel confident and sexy, it also makes my mind and body feel alive and my root chakra balanced.  As you know, when this chakra is healthy, we feel confident in who we are, stable in life, and powerful in spirit.  Well, at least…

How I Keep My Inner Goddess Healthy This Summer

Fruits and veggies from West End Farmers Market every Sunday start the week off right. I often get asked if I am ever tired and, if not, what is the secret? Well, it's really not that complicated. I live every day with gratitude and joy. In addition to that, my body is my temple and I keep it healthy most of the time with whole foods and exercise.  My life overall…

How Balanced is Your Root Chakra?

The heart knows. You may be hearing the word "chakra" more and more these days as people are more open to holistic ways of improving health and well being, but the concept of chakras goes back for centuries.  The root chakra, associated with the color red, is known as the first chakra or "Muladhara."  According to multiple sources, Mula means “root” and Adhara means “support” or “base.”  The element of this chakra is earth, and it…
