Our minds are pretty awesome – no doubt – our mind organizes our thoughts, helps us to prioritize, keeps us safe and regulates many of our bodily functions so that we don’t have to. Awesome. Thank you mind! However, if we are interested in truth, alignment and expansion, the heart is our champion.

It was one of those times when life stares you right in the face– one of those decisions that would drastically change your story. A small, simple choice would inevitably shift the direction of it all.

Our thoughts become our reality, therefore it is important to recognize which thoughts we're feeding. We must make a conscious effort to feed the ones that fuel our fire.
