Consent is necessary in every element of a secure healthy relationship as it builds trust and safety.

The wheel of consent created by Betty Martin is an excellent guide to understand how we give and receive.

Every great story, book, movie, and plot twist asks the question: what do we do now? It's the moment when the hero takes action to save the day.

Choices change the outcome. If you don't like the path a particular choice led you, simply make another choice. It's really that easy.

Life happens! Living as a human being we are going to experience ups and down, disappointment, and unexpected events. So how does one manage these experiences?

One option is to dwell in the negative, adapting a victimized attitude that nothing goes right, feeling stuck and overwhelmed. OR, one can own their emotions, accept what is, ask for support, and take the next step to problem solve.

Spiraling into blame and shame isn't helpful. Shame says "I AM bad". Blame projects our pain amd discomfort away from us.

However, guilt (or radical responsibility) owns our actions, emotions whole separating us from the item; ie, "I DID something bad". It creates a pathway to make change an create growth.

Our body is a reflection of who we are. What do our feet say about us? According to Louise Hay, feet represent our understanding of self, life, and others.

When foot issues such as fungal infection, bunions, or cracked heels appear it may indicate that we are not grounded or trusting our own intuition.

Take time to love and care for your feet; they are carrying precious cargo.

Are you perfectly happy in this moment? What would it take to become satisfied with life exactly as it is?

A practice of gratitude often expands the perception of the resources we already have, thus creating a sense of abundance.

Remember the scene in Aladdin when he's on the magic carpet and offers his hand to Jasmine asking, "do you trust me?" What if your body is asking the same question, desiring to guide you "to a whole new world"?

Our bodies are magical, sensual beings of creation. Yet, we often disassociate from our bodies; convinced they only bring us pain and misery. That pain comes from outside of ourselves. Our bodies are truly with us our entire lives and only want the best for us. Are you willing to listen and trust that divine intuition from within?
