Today I finally fulfilled a very big dream of mine, which was to make YouTube videos! I, like practically everyone in our generation, love YouTube and have grown up on it. I've laughed, learned, and awakened in a lot of ways thanks to the video sharing platform. So for a long time I imagined myself making and sharing my own videos with others, being creative and connecting with people through internet community, but like a lot of us I held myself back. I over complicated it for myself. ---No longer! Here it is. Till next time, LL

I may not know you, but I love you.  That shouldn't be hard to believe. You're awesome! :) And since I love you so much, I want to give you a couple pieces of advice to make your life better. So here are 5 tips to make your life better from which you can pick and choose, as you like: 1. Watch a sunset or a sunrise in the next 24 hours. The colors will blow your head off. Seriously, I think the border between day and night is possibly the most magical times of the day. Magic happens. Everyday. One of the reasons I recommend this is because of mindfulness. Ever heard of it? This meditation technique is everywhere nowadays. It means to be fully present and conscious in this now moment. Not wrapped up in worry, not ruminating over the argument you had with your best friend, not on autopilot. Just here and now. Noticing, without judging anything as good or bad. But to learn this valuable tool of mindfulness can be a bitch, especially when you are trying to be mindf...

Affirmations are a wonderful way to reinforce beliefs you'd like to implant into yourself, but just reading them like a bored teenager dullly reads a history lesson out loud in class will not do much for your vibration or your subconscious. The technique of repeating phrases over and over again becomes incredibly more impactful if you try your best to FEEL the emotions behind the phrase. Imagine yourself as a method actor, and your task is to read your line as if you really believed this about yourself. Feel it. The following is a series of affirmations meant to encourage feelings of power and transcendence. Let's see how you do. Speak each phrase out loud and as you do, put in as much effort as possible to feel what you are saying, draw on memories from your past to do so. Repeat the phrase a few times if desired. Here we go. "I am an eternal and abundant creator. I am vast in my spirit and soul reach, I reach all over the universe. I liste...

Today when I dropped my daughter India off at kindergarten, before we got out of the car me sat for a moment to hear the end of a fun song. We were singing and dancing and just feeling wonderful. When I turned off the radio she said in her cute little 4 year old voice “That was beautiful, mom” and my heart felt utter gratitude for such a lovely moment. Later in the day, while working on my writing I decided to take a look at the old notes saved on my computer and came across this one, written on November 15 th , 2016, just a little less than a year ago: “I’m fascinated by that state of gratitude and appreciation for something you don’t have yet. I imagine myself driving around in my car blasting the radio and singing at the top of my lungs Katy Perry and Justin Bieber songs. The thing I will like the most is to pick up India at kindergarten and have her feel nice and warm and cuddly in my car. I want her to feel super good when I drop her off every morning, feel really loved a...

Wether or not you believe the position of the planets has any affect on your personality or not, if you were born between the dates May 21st to June 19th you've probably been told once or twice that people think you're crazy. You're not alone! Us geminis are an extremely unique breed (at least we think we are) and can sometimes find it hard to act like "normal" people. So here are 5 tips to being a Gemini without getting institutionalized ;) 1. Talk it out! Gemini is an air sign which means we're all about mental energy and communication, thoughts, ideas and concepts. So one of the worst things you could do is keep it all bottled up and not talk about what going on in your head. Geminis love talking and it helps them to work through their problems. 2. Take a break, would you! Geminis are known for their high energy and enthusiastic personalities, but you can't be ON all the time. If you try to be a super hero and do everything all the t...
