October is my favorite month. The colors of the leaves, the cooler weather (sweater weather), the festivals, apple picking, pumpkin picking, my birthday, and Halloween! I mean, come on; it can't get much better than that. It's also so crazy busy for me I tend to get completely overwhelmed. I have the garlic farm harvest, the festivals I do for the garlic and the skincare business, Soul Aligned Infusions, and the birthdays and fall fun.

This year I'm making sure I don't get stressed by taking a few steps that I'll be sharing with you today, and for the podcast tomorrow I'll be sharing a meditation to calm the mind and body that you can do every day, so be sure to tune into that.

As I said, this is a very busy time for me right now and it might be for you too. It might be busier during different times of the year for you. Whatever your busy time is, I want you to use these strategies to keep the nerves calm and have some smooth sailing fun! Because pretty much all my business is fun st...

Some of the things that are important are keeping you alive even if the situation is not beneficial or supportive to your growth and happiness. So, thriving and living your life fully is not at the top of the list, survival and energy conservation is. 

To conserve energy our brain ...

Last night I had a night. One of my dogs, Max, was up all night pacing. He was upset about something? I believe it was the incoming thunderstorms. I have 2 dogs, Max & Millie. Both Golden Doodles, both adopted. Max is high maintenance, reckless, and keeps you guessing about everything type of dog and Millie is well trained, sweet, loving, and hyper as a 4yr old that just drank a large red Slurpee from 7-11.

So I did not sleep at all or you could say I was in and out of sleep and I kept having some really crazy dreams. I felt like I fell asleep and woke up a thousand times. Every time I woke up I got a message and it was the same each time. The message was, What you did to get where you are now is not going to get you where you want to go. 

Hmmm, what the heck do I need to do then? 

Well, let’s start with the fact that I’m proud of myself. I am proud because usually when I get a cryptic message from my higher self, my intuition, I don’t pay attention. Well finally, at the age of, Flo...
