Consciously Engaged
It's easy to get swept away in an often-turbulent sea of to-do’s, thoughts, and reactions; not being present or truly experiencing life’s moments. We get caught up in trying to control external circumstances, with "I’ll feel ok if…” or “I’ll be happy when…” thinking. This creates feelings of anxiety, unease, overwhelm and unhappiness.
While the external world is unpredictable and largely out of our control, we have the ability to positively shift and shape our thoughts and our inner experience. However, doing this requires awareness, practice, and a commitment to personal growth, and that isn’t always easy! As author Michael Singer bluntly puts it, “Your mental garbage will run (and ruin) your life” unless you consciously work on it.
We have the precious gift of one lifetime. Are you are fully living it? Are you noticing and appreciating the moments, and tapping into the deeper presence, inner peace, and joy that are always available to you?
That’s what CE’s membership is here to support. Not perfection, not being "tapped in" all the time, but consciously engaging so that we can truly experience presence, inner peace, and joy more consistently.

About Me & the Inspiration for CE
I’ve had a lifelong passion for learning new ways to consciously connect with my heart and deepen my growth and experience in the world. I've sought out the wisdom of great thinkers and teachers (there is so much lived- experience and wisdom available to us!), attended workshops and talks, and read a library’s worth of books on spirituality and personal growth. Along the way, I’ve gathered plenty of notes and insights, many of which are incorporated into the wisdom, reminders and tools shared through Consciously Engaged.
I know all too well how easy it is to get caught up in compulsive thoughts, anxiety, and the busyness of life. I also know how wonderful and freeing it feels to connect within, to manage my thoughts, gain clarity, and feel more in the driver’s seat of my life. While all of these experiences will ebb and flow, the latter can become where we live from more often with steady commitment and awareness. This is what inspired me to create CE’s "Life Tools", "Shared Wisdom" and monthly “Engagements” as a combined experience to help stay consciously engaged in life's journey. My hope is that as a CE member, you’ll feel lighter, happier, and more present and intentional in your life.
Thank you for joining me here on this journey toward greater presence, joy, and inner peace. These aren’t unattainable ideals reserved for gurus on mountaintops; they’re real experiences we can cultivate when we consciously engage in our lives!
