Step Into Expansion with Wonderment and Awe!

It has been an amazing two weeks for many reasons! First, I was able to enjoy a glorious, sun-drenched trip to Maui with my family after a very long winter filled with projects, hockey rinks and deadlines. Our hiatus was filled with the intoxicating beauty of turquoise water, the wonderment of coral reefs and awe of the majestic sea turtles. It gave our family a chance to play together as we surfed, snorkeled and watched the dance of tiki torches as the setting sun flickered hues of gold, pink and purple. Along with the family foray of fun, a seed that was planted months ago at Home in Harmony came to bloom.

There continues to be growth and expansion at Home in Harmony Headquarters as we move beyond our comfort zone embracing new experiences and stepping into a sense of infinite possibility & potentiality. New friendships have been created and connections across the globe have begun. This, in part, was due to the successful launch of the Home in Harmony Master Class! We had thousands of participants join the Home in Harmony Master Class to listen to over 20 of the world’s leading experts speak on topics related to home, health and happiness! The wide variety of topics allowed everyone to find something of interest. The goal was to help you find answers to topics you were interested in learning more about and hopefully encourage you to tune in to something that you were unaware of or had peaked your sense of curiosity. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive and my hope is that you were able to listen and enjoy some of these conversations.

If you didn’t have a chance to join in the fun, there is still a few days before these conversations go into a vault on May 2^nd. Click here to get access to the Home in Harmony Master Class expert interviews. If you did join the discussion, we would love to hear your feedback! Leave us a post on Facebook , or give us a Tweet . We would also love to hear if you have a particular topic or expert you would like us to include for the next season of the Home in Harmony Master Class.

As mentioned previously, this has been an amazing two weeks for many reasons; each reason involving expansion and growth. What I continue to learn as I move along my journey is that when we welcome life, and all it has to offer, with a beginner’s mindset we open ourselves to being awed and delighted. It is when we close ourselves off to a rigid “know-it-all” stance or worse, one of disbelief, doors are closed and opportunities missed. I have seen both sides of this coin and am discovering that looking at life through the lens of the wonderment and appreciation creates expansion and infinite possibility.

I remember as I first embarked on my exploration of self-discovery, I walked into a New England School of Feng Shui class thinking it was going to be related to Feng Shui, homes and clutter. To my surprise, this class taught by Denise Linn (a Feng Shui guru), touched on Feng Shui but was primarily focused on past life regression. I was skeptical and apprehensive as we began our first morning meditation, but I consciously made the decision to go with the flow and embrace the experience, even if it wasn’t what I had anticipated. I figured, it was a weekend of learning something new with interesting and insightful people, why not make the best of it?

I allowed my mind to open to the teachings and absorbed like a sponge each insight and new experience.

My worldview was forever changed.

This allowed me to take a step closer to my ultimate calling. If I had shutdown, closed myself off and walked out the door, (which I did contemplate) the door would have closed behind me. I am sure that somehow, someway, another door or window would have opened. It is my belief that we are always being led towards our passion and purpose. But, we either make things easy by staying in a beginner’s mindset of wonderment and awe that allows incredible experiences to flow gracefully into our lives or we shut ourselves down to the possibility of ultimate potentiality.

As a mother of teenagers, I sometimes experience the you-know-nothing/I-know-everything conversations. I have learned (or at least continue to learn) that these conversations are fruitless. When a teenager decides to shutdown the opportunity to gain insight from the wisdom of an adult they close a door that could have helped them maneuver the complex world of ‘teenhood’ from someone who has navigated the path in the past. I am certain that other doors or windows will open for them to learn in other ways but they close off a path already trodden. I have recently found myself in different situations asking myself if I am opening myself to the wonderment and awe that a beginner or perhaps a toddler would see. One who is delighted by the colors, textures and sounds of the world. Or, am I shifting into a teenage (and sometimes adult) attitude that shuts a door because of a mindset that thinks there is no more to learn or that I already have the answers? I am finding the beginner’s mindset to be rich with color, texture and vibrant blessings that expand and grow with infinite potentiality.

As I embarked on creating the Home in Harmony Master Class I was blessed for two reasons. First, it made me step into the attitude of “What is possible?” Second, I had the privilege of interviewing some amazing luminaries who expanded my awareness and understanding of the world, bringing awe and wonderment to my life.

I love when I am stretched beyond my current knowing and shift to a greater consciousness. It is my belief that this is part of our path and evolution and it propels us forward to a place of greater happiness and harmony. Can you step into a beginner’s mindset and look at your world with wonderment and awe?

May your days be filled with expansion and growth that comes from a place of wonderment and awe!

Is Indecision Ruining Your Life?

Do you have trouble making decisions? This can show up in a variety of ways and impact different areas of your life. It can affect everything from the feel of your home to your success and happiness. Sitting in a state of indecision puts the brakes on and halts your progress towards harmonious and graceful living. By now you have probably heard of the Home in Harmony Master Class Summer Series and hopefully have listened to some of the teachings from Master’s of home, health and happiness. It is easy to listen to wisdom. It is taking action and stepping out of the daily routine that can challenge you and I. Let’s look at how the mindset of indecision can effect your home, health and happiness.

Indecision, for those that are stuck in this way of being, can show up in different ways. The most visible way is in the form of clutter. Have you ever had something in your hand and you were unsure where to put it because it didn’t have a designated space. You put it down thinking you would deal with it later, but instead it becomes buried beneath the next thing that you hold in your hand and put in the pile. This is how piles and clutter begin. When you are unclear in your mind of where a physical object should go (and you don’t figure it out right away) it becomes clutter. Creating designated spaces for each and everything that enters and stays in your home helps you to be efficient and clear. It takes away the energy-zapping dilemma of where to put something that leads to the spiral of a cluttered space that drains your energy. In our home we have a saying (although with teenagers it can be challenging to enforce) “Everything has a place and put it in it’s space”. Indecision can be the root cause of clutter, which is an outward representation of a mindset around the ability to make clear and effective decisions.

Moving from indecision to an action-oriented state of being can free you from limitation. When you are in “the flow” of life things move with ease and grace. You stop this flow when you become stuck in the questioning mindset of indecision. This is sometimes referred to as analysis paralysis. You can be so concerned with making the perfect decision, that by the time you have made up your mind, the opportunity has passed by. You will hear people who are living their passion and purpose mention that they followed their gut instinct or a higher inspiration to attain the life of their dreams. They didn’t over analyze, they just jumped in and hoped for the best. They look back at their life and know the moment the decision was made that helped them create the life of their dreams.

These are just two of the many ways that indecision can creep into your life and hold you back from designing your inspired now. The following two simple solutions will help you move from stuck, cluttered, overwhelmed and confused to clear, organized, inspired and focused.

• First, begin to notice where indecision shows up in your life. Is it in piles of clutter around your home or is it trying to decide which friend to connect with over the weekend. Becoming aware of your habits is the first step that will help you move with grace and ease in your life.

• Second, begin to take action… even in small ways. Taking action will help shift the behavioral habit of indecision to a mindset of clear and concise action. Decide where to put the pile of papers, schedule dinners for the next 3 weekends and practice making decisions quickly. Shift out of the fear of failure or fear of making the wrong decision to an understanding that it is better to have tried and failed than to sit in indecision.

We have a saying in our home from one of the hockey greats, “You miss one hundred percent of the shots you don’t take.”

What are you going to clearly and boldly shoot for in your life?

The Color of Home and Happiness

This month we have been focusing on how to best design health, home, and happiness in your life. One area that can have a major impact on all three is the use of color in a space. You have probably heard me explain how color impacts us psychologically and physiologically. The next step is learning how to choose colors that will have the most positive impact on you. In this weeks article we will take a look at 3 simple steps to help you choose a great color for your space! If you want additional solutions to health, home, and happiness get your FREE ALL ACCESS PASS to the Home in Harmony Master Class Summer Series which begins August 15th!

Recently many clients have asked me for help with color. It seems that with the burst of sunlight there has been a new found enthusiasm for color. People innately understand that the feel of their home can radically be changed by the color on the walls. During the summer season people often opt for cheerful colors that will uplift the spirit. The question most have is how to pick the perfect color. Let’s take a look…

Create your happy place by going to your happy place. That is, think about the spaces and places in your life that have made or currently make your heart sing and your spirit soar. Maybe it was a blissful trip to Bermuda where you loved the pink painted houses and your fond memories make you giggle. Or, perhaps it was the orange leather chair in the ski chalet you would visit as a child that brings a warm glow to your soul. Remember those times, places and spaces and incorporate those colors in your current space to make it feel great!

Before you begin to decorate a room it is important to determine its function. Color plays a key role in setting the mood or tone. So make sure the color is in alignment with your objective for the space.

I often have people ask me to choose colors over the phone or online. This can be challenging without having a sense of the lighting. I always ask to see pictures of the space so that I understand how the room is lit. A little trick is to use cooler colors in rooms without natural light from windows and use warmer tones in brighter spaces.

Color plays an important role in creating home, health and happiness. These three tips can help you choose the color that best supports you.

Additionally, I have lined up over 20 of the world’s leading experts to help you create an amazing home, vibrant health and ultimate happiness!

Secrets to Health, Home, & Happiness

I hope the first day of April has you feeling energized with a spring in your step! It is exhilarating to hear birds chirping, see the buds starting to push their way towards the sky and feel the chill begin to thaw as the sun warms the earth. It is a time of new beginnings, rebirth and renewal! Do you feel the energy? I am excited to share that we have caught spring fever at Home in Harmony Headquarters! A seed was planted in the Fall and the fruit of this labor of love is about to be revealed! I hope you will join me in discovering vibrant energy, clarity and inspiration! So let’s look at the keys of health, home, and happiness to help you create the life of your dreams!

Let me explain…

In the October I began to think about ways to share the secrets of health, home, and happiness in a bigger way. I was also curious to understand what some of the biggest gurus in the industries of home, body, mind and passion & purpose had to say about creating inspired and vibrant living. What were their secrets? Did they know something that would be worth sharing? What if we could tap into their knowledge and experience? I realized I could combine these two things; my enthusiasm to share home, health & happiness in a big way with the secrets of leading experts! That was when the inspiration for the Home in Harmony Master Class was created!

Initially I thought to myself, how am I going to do this? How will I pull it off? How could I bring content to you that is worthy of your time? Well, the creative side of my brain began to spin and do cartwheels! The concept of the Home in Harmony Master Class began to take form and as is true of inspired ideas began to take on a life of it’s own…

For the past six months I have been collaborating with prominent authorities in home, body, mind and spirit. I have interviewed these gurus to learn their secrets of health, home, and happiness! When this idea initially came to me I knew I wanted to bring you only the best! So, I connected with HGTV superstars and BRAVO celebrities to chat about everything Home. I discussed optimum health & vibrant bodies with authorities that have been featured on Dr. Oz, CNN and in Health & Fitness. I listened to the core elements of finding calm in the midst of daily chaos from best selling authors featured on Oprah. I shared amazing conversations with individuals who inspire millions around the globe to find their passion & purpose. Now, I can’t wait to share these incredible luminaries with you!

The only thing that could be better than learning the secrets to health, home, and happiness from leading experts is to have this rare opportunity be FREE and have access to it within your own home at your convenience!
