By Peggy Lindsey Our souls know we are free and always will be. However, when we were young, we were taught that we were subject to the influences of others . . . their opinions, ideas, and judgments. We ignored our own inner feelings in the attempt to satisfy others and avoid punishment. But many are now reconnecting with their inner guidance, trusting more their own feelings, and giving themselves permission to exercise

By Peggy Lindsey Our childhood years contained many lessons of DOs and DO NOTs, forming our minds and hearts of what was acceptable, what was possible, and even what would make us worthy of love. Conformity was taught at the very beginning. Rarely were children encouraged to acknowledge their own uniqueness . . . to be a sovereign individual within a family or community. And now, many years later, we are

By Peggy Lindsey Each morning, we are given the gift of life . . . another 24 hours, a clean slate, and an opportunity for a new beginning. Every moment given to us is a chance to learn, grow, discover, and become the next best version of ourselves. Yet it is always a choice.  Growth begins in the space within.

By Peggy Lindsey Love is powerful. This month, we often celebrate the romantic aspect of love with the popular gifts of flowers and chocolates. Perhaps even an engagement ring! But love is so much more, isn’t it?  People confuse love with an emotion, especially those euphoric feelings when one falls in love with that special someone. But love is found in every relationship.

And we are invited to walk in a brand-new direction.  But with any great journey, we must decide what we

By Peggy Lindsey Winter speaks to all life as the season begins each December. Squirrels are well stocked for the cold months ahead, bears are snuggled in for a long winter’s nap, and trees drift off into their deep slumber.

By Peggy LindseyThe winds of change are blowing, affecting everyone now. Yet, we somehow feel the need to run the other way. Can the storm be outrun? No, but many oppose it!  Why do we resist change? Most humans have a fear of the unknown. Uncertainty is uncomfortable, so we relish what is safe and predictable. Change, when imposed upon us, can sometimes mean we’ve lost control over our lives,

By Peggy Lindsey Is it true that humans hate anguish and discomfort so much that we would do anything to avoid being in pain? We might think so! After all, none of us wakes up one morning and decides to be miserable. However, subconsciously, many do.  The number one cause of ongoing suffering is attachment. People are attached to situations, desires, possessions, and even old stories! They cling to dualistic views

By Peggy Lindsey Life’s routine is often mundane as we go through the motions. At times these activities no longer feel good to us . . . we can become disinterested, or even anxious and resentful of them.
