If you’re like me, you find peace and satisfaction in cultivating your own garden. There’s something special about watching the fruits of your labor grow. You might also be familiar with the frustration of keeping weeds and bugs from harming your plants…
That’s why so many companies, from landscaping companies to consumer packaged goods companies, turn to weed-killer products for help. You are probably spending time in public spaces that use them, eating foods that have been sprayed with them, or drinking water that is contaminated with them…
Today, I want to raise awareness about glyphosate, a popular herbicide found in weed-killing products. Glyphosate is sprayed over a massive amount of crops such as corn, soy, and wheat. These plants are genetically engineered to be unaffected by the application of glyphosate, while the wild weeds around it die away.
We’ll explore the impact glyphosate can have on the human body and the environment,...

If this is the first time you are learning about...
Imagine coming to a major crossroads in your life. You are unsure which path to take. I’m here to tell you, the answer is to let love lead.
Love is the greatest mystery you’ll ever explore. Connect with love and you’ll be happier, healthier, and more in alignment with your soul’s purpose. You’ll begin to notice the love all around you instead of remaining numb to it. It is the knowing that we are not separate from one another and the universal power that brings out and multiplies the best in life. It is true oneness.
In this blog post, you’ll learn how to stop, look, and listen – much like you would do before entering a crossroad! These three steps will help you open your heart and reinforce a default of love until it comes as easy as breathing. Focus on the love in your life and you hold the power to change the world!
Fear is an agitated energy source. When you allow your thoughts...
"So many of us are leading limited lives not because we have to but because we think we have to." ~ Bruce H. Lipton, PhD (The Biology of Belief)
In Chapter 5 of my book, Wholistic Wisdom, which Dr. Lipton endorsed, I speak about the power of belief.
Many studies on the placebo effect have shown that there’s little difference between patient groups that actually received medication or treatment and groups that only believed they did.
Belief is powerful enough to change even our physical health. But belief can go both ways.
As much as we can believe ourselves into a state of healing, love, and peace, our limiting beliefs can also keep us stuck on the negative side of the spectrum.
When we stay in a low-vibrational thought loop, our brain stresses, our body suffers, and our ability to improve our experience diminishes.
But what if we inherited certain limiting beliefs without even being conscious of them?
As Alejandro and I have discovered through analyzing people’s...
