There's something about seeing things grow, about seeing them sprout up from seemingly nowhere at all. Read these quotes about planting seeds, because it's always the season to sow a little good karma. To love better. To be in charge of your own life. To be part of all the beauty you'd like to see grow.

Whether you want to get sober, stay sober, or take a sabbatical from substances for a while, I hope these positive affirmations for sobriety inspire you to love your decision, and life, even more. This is a reminder that feelings are transient and thoughts are malleable. It’s YOU who's powerful.

Judith Espinosa wrote The Awakening to help others who've endured great loss, illness, and heartbreak of any kind. People like you and me, who'd rather lay claim to this new life than live the rest of our days being victims of our circumstances. I’m happy and grateful to be able to share her poem here in full, with you.

Your word for 2020 is an umbrella word for how you want to feel most of the time and what you want to experience. It’s a touchstone for when to say, “Hell yes!” and when to say, “No, thank you.” Since my word for 2020 is MAGIC, I'm sharing my Manifesto for Magic with you. In case you want more magic in your life, too.

Whatever's flipped your life upside down this year, now you're here. You've been planted somewhere new; actually, something new has been planted in you. A seed. And you decide how you nurture it, water it, weed it, let it root & bloom. You get to decide, here & now, how it unfurls & how you grow with it, through it.

Use these winter affirmations to help you better appreciate the season you're in. They're for your emotions... the ones that are hard to love. The ones that, when you sit with them and let them breathe and be, will teach you to see the beauty in almost anything. May this be a season of rooting, if not blooming.

Here's a chocolate meditation for sweet, sweet stress relief. It's the perfect sensory meditation for the cold, busy holiday season (if you love chocolate, anyway). But if you don't like or can't eat chocolate, just try this meditation with something you do love.

All the feelings: that’s kind of what happens when you’re going through hard times, or healing in the aftermath. Especially when it's the holiday season, a time of celebration, and you're hurting. And you know what? You’re allowed to feel everything. You’re human, not made of stone.

Try this meditation to relieve holiday stress. The idea is to let go of everything... just for one, sweet moment. And by everything I mean people, to-do lists, parties, responsibilities, expectations, anything and everything that comes with the holiday season. All you need is a couple of minutes.

This isn’t necessarily for the holiday, Thanksgiving, but now is as good a time as any to give thanks. Thanks for being alive, thanks for being together -- even if we’re only together in spirit. This prayer for thanksgiving is short and sweet. Read it at the table or just keep the words close to your heart.
