Are you looking for something fun to do?  Something different?

Life is a Creative Act.


You create your day every day.

Are you creating it with intention - or going through the motions...


Are you having FUN???

When was the last time you did something for yourself that was FUN ?

Something that wasn't because you had to or should but just because you wanted to? Come out and have some fun with Meg and Rita.

(And maybe learn a little something along the way.)

 

The activity for each evening in the series will include a fun, creative project, and an informative, lively interactive subject

that will help you open your life to more fun and creative possibilities.

Staying Committed to Your Path


         Life is choice! Make a choice & dance with it!
What is keeping you from the life you dream of ??
   Do you know what you want in life but find that your path just isn’t bringing you joy, happiness and a sense of fulfillment? Do you experience feeling “stuck” or apprehensive, not feeling good enough, pressure of time, fearful of taking risks … the list is endless of reasons we tell ourselves that our desired quality of life is not possible; which holds us back, keeping us in our comfort zones. What you think, believe and focus on influences your choices, decisions and actions and creates your path in life. Everything in life is choice. Are you making choices that allow you to live fully and vibrantly and bring you happiness?

   Your life is your own … no rules, no limits … you set your own course.

  • Change your thoughts & you’ll change your reality.
  • Let go of internal restraints.
  • Let your passions resonate into the light of your life & manifest your dreams.
“the future is sending you back good wishes & waiting with open arms.“ ~ Kobi Yamada
   Disengage yourself for just awhile from daily external activities, turmoil and influences and go deep within your inner self – a place where only you can go and where you’ll find inner peace and your own truths; a place where you can release, relax and create the life you’ve always dreamed of.

With renewed self awareness, make your vision a reality.
Now is the time … let go, be free & live the life you really want!
Life Coaching can help close the gap between where you are & where you want to be.

   With fresh perspectives, clarity, intent and momentum and a shift in your core beliefs, conscious mindful choices and actions will follow; setting you on a path open to the awareness of new opportunities and all that is possible. With commitment to change your life and a willing openness to suggestion and to take action, you’ll continue unencumbered on your path and maintain balance, harmony and focus ~ internally and externally. You’ll discover your true self with an open heart and mind; allowing space in your life for greater joy, vitality and fulfillment.

In this empowering and enlightening series, Rita will guide and encourage you to:
  • discover, define, clarify & affirm your vision in life and create & implement an action plan
  • learn new techniques and methods to help you move forward
  • identify and remove blocks that hold you back and impede flourishing progress
  • eliminate negative patterns

For an awakening journey & to start living your life with passion,
please join us!


Every day is a fresh beginning. Every morn is the world make new. ~ Susan Coolidge

Dealing with Difficult People


         Life is choice! Make a choice & dance with it!
Arrrgh - Is someone driving you crazy?
   Are there people in your life you find to be difficult or annoying? When in their company or even in anticipation of seeing or talking with them, do you experience negative emotion and/or physical discomfort? Maybe it’s a past relationship from which memories still have an effect on you. Whether past or present, are your experiences with these people creating sadness, frustration, anger, fear, disappointment, feelings of not being good enough? Do you feel “unheard” or apprehensive? Are you distracted by cluttered or painful thoughts? Has your home or work environment become uncomfortable?
   How do you cope with these people … by avoidance, resistance, withdrawing or “giving in”? Such situations may leave one feeling controlled, trapped or as if life is chaotic and overwhelming. If so, ultimately you may feel your own passions, dreams and goals in life have become stagnant, hopeless and hindered by limitations and emotional barriers ~ which in time transform into restrictive lifestyle habits; draining you of energy, strength & time and compromising your focus, potentials & wellbeing.

“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
   Have your choices in how you deal with difficult people taken you away from a path in life that allows you to live fully & vibrantly and that brings you happiness? Your path in life is created by choice. What you think, believe and focus on influences your choices, decisions and how you react to all that you encounter. In the moment with a difficult person, where are your thoughts; where is your focus?

Change your thoughts & you’ll change your reality.

   Disengage yourself for just awhile from daily external activities, turmoil and influences and go deep within your inner self – a place where only you can go and where you’ll find inner peace and your own truths; a place where you can reflect, release, relax and reawaken your true passions, values, aspirations and self-love. Rediscover and embrace your vision for the life you really want.
With renewed self awareness, empower yourself to make your vision a reality.

   With fresh perspectives, vitality, inner strength and confidence, mindful choices will guide your reactions to all that you encounter; allowing you to maintain balance & harmony and to flow with ease unencumbered on your dynamic, rewarding and fulfilling life journey.

Now is the time … let go, be free & live the life you really want!

In this empowering and enlightening series, Rita will guide and encourage you to:
  • have clarity and understanding of why some people “push our buttons”
  • learn new techniques and methods to detach from other’s negative energy
  • learn positive ways to react, practice discernment & create boundaries
  • learn steps to improve relationships and communication
  • release negative energy, emotional barriers and painful memories

For an awakening journey & to start living your life with passion,
please join us!



"It is man's foremost duty to awaken the understanding of the inner Self and to know his own real inner greatness. Once he knows his true worth, he can know the worth of others." ~ Swami Muktananda

"The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention…. A loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the most well-intentioned words." ~ Rachel Naomi Remen"

People go abroad to wonder at the height of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of the rivers, at the vast compasses of the ocean… and they pass by themselves without even imagining. ~ Augustine of Hippo
