Little Altars....all around...

Altars are sacred but can be placed all over the home. You can have altars in little nooks and crannies as reminders of your daily practice, focus, meditation. Here is one of my favorite little altars in my home. I hope it inspires you to create your own with personal blessings, prayers and intentions! If you say a mantra over and over again each morning it will soon soak into your spirit and you will live it... write out your prayers, mantras, dreams and hopes and don't forget to envision greatness because after all, greatness is what you are destined for!

Sing it Etta... in memory of...

When you hear the song "At Last" often times you are at a wedding watching the first dance between a bride and groom. While I appreciate young love, and the countless number of times I have heard Etta James voice singing "my love has come along..." over the diner radio, it is not the song I will remember her for. When I was in high school and I purchased my first Etta James cd, I remember hearing "Sunday Kind of Love" and that was the song that stopped me in my tracks. When I hear her belt out, "I want a Sunday kind of love..." at the end of the song, I cannot help but soak up the true essence of the late artist who will be remembered for her vocal honesty and her searching heart.
