In this week’s video post, I discuss the powerful idea about just exactly how aware infants are from the start – far more so than many people think. Understanding this point can be a vital component to a conscious parent’s approach to their children. Here is the clip from America’s Funniest Home videos…. […]
The power of hope: An inspiring story about an autistic teenager
In this week’s video blog, I follow inspiration and shoot the video on the spot, when I was feeling compelled to share this with all of you. (I hope you don’t mind my sans makeup, messy hair kinda day). 🙂 The messages of this particular story resonate so profoundly with me, and my work, […]

November is ConsciousParents.org Gratitude Month!
woodleywonderworks / Foter / CC BY As I have gotten older, Thanksgiving has surpassed Christmas as my all time favorite holiday.

A great tool for guidance
Speaking of angels, my favorite oracle deck is Doreen Virtue’s Daily Guidance from your Angels. This is a gorgeous set and I have several friends who also have deemed this their favorite of the ones they have used also. I love the sweet, positive messages, and the beautiful artwork. I seem to get very clear […]
Averting disaster (with a little help from the angels)
I was talking on the phone this morning with someone, and she was telling me about how she locked her keys in her car yesterday. It reminded me of this incredible story that happened to me many years ago, when my little one was only a year old. I was getting out of the car […]
