“The best things in life aren’t things at all.

“The best things in life aren’t things at all. You can’t see them with your eyes or touch them with your hands but you can feel them with your heart.” - CatherineGraceO 💜

𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗽𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝘽𝙚𝙮𝙤𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙋𝙝𝙮𝙨𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡

As an energy worker, I was drawn to the world of the unseen long ago.🙌

Mystics call it the world between worlds.🦋

Rumi would call it the space between right and wrong - the Field.🕊

I’m not into “woo.” After 30 plus years of studying with some of the top mystics, shamans and spiritual teachers, I’ve learned a great deal about energy - about how life really works - and about how to transform a life from the inside out.💜

What I learned saved my life. What I’ve learned can transform yours.🕊

Our greatest power lies in the unseen. Our cells are impacted by our thoughts. We have the power to change ourselves at the cellular level by our thinking - by elevating our thoughts, thus elevating our vibration.

Love heals.💜

There is nothing more powerful than love - beginning with Self Love - beginning with YOU! 💜

Love can’t be seen but it sure can be felt.💜

Love transforms lives.💜

Self Love saves lives. I know. It saved mine.💜

Cheers Beauties! Here’s to healing and transformation from the inside out. 💜

And, so much love to my dear friend - a designer with one gigantic 💜 that can be felt in every dress she designs from a space of love 💜 @mikahfashion. You can find this gorgeous maxi @mikahfashion. ☮️

“Don’t pay attention to your age. Pay attentio

“Don’t pay attention to your age. Pay attention to your energy.” - CatherineGraceO 🔥

𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗮𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹.

At 60, despite all kinds of obstacles including a life threatening illness, there isn’t much I can’t do now that my 25 year old self could do.👧

Age is energy. The greatest secret to aging healthfully is in elevating our energy. 🦋

𝗘𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗲𝘁. 𝗕𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗳 𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴.🔥

Don’t buy into limiting beliefs around aging. The greatest impediment we face when it comes to aging well is within our own minds.🦋

𝗕𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 & 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹. 🦋

What else elevates my energy? 🕊

Kickass workout wear by @terez! When we look beautiful, we feel beautiful. Terez has some of the most inspiring designs in activewear on the planet🦋. @terez is ideal for the Modern Midlife woman who is unstoppable.🔥

You can find this fabulous 𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗞𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗶𝗱𝗼𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗲𝘁 🎈 over @terez along with more delicious designs including butterflies🦋, paper cranes 🕊& so much more. 🕊

Cheers Beauties! Here’s to elevating your energy & elevating Midlife! 🦋

“What I think of you is none of your business.” - CatherineGraceO 🔥

𝗣𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗘 𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗣, 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗 & 𝗦𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗘 - 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲'𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂!🚨

I had the pleasure of being with @drcarolparkerwalsh today as a guest on her Midlife Rebel podcast. We were talking about how to deal with the “haters” in our lives - people who project negativity onto us, particularly when they feel threatened by our successes in life.

Psych 101 teaches us about projections - negative projections result from the pain that’s inside of the person projecting their wounds onto us. Negative projections must stay where they belong - with the sender. Negative projections never have anything to do with us. They’re not our business. Our business is awareness. Our business is understanding. Our business lies in protecting our energy from negativity while having compassion for the one who’s triggered.

We are solely the trigger of those projections, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲. It’s vital to understand the difference. We can only trigger a wound to open in someone else but we are not responsible for the wound. In fact, triggering the “pain body” of another is a gift, if we take the time to look in the mirror at ourselves to heal the pain within rather than projecting our issues onto another.

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱. 𝗕𝘆 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗲𝘀.

Unless we are enlightened beings, we all do it. This isn’t something to feel shame or blame about but it is something to educate ourselves about, so that we can heal the wounds inside of us.

Negative projections serve us if we allow them to. When sent to us from another, they can lead us to compassion and understanding. They have absolutely nothing to do with us - but they do show us the pain that exists in another.

Cheers Beauties. Here’s to healing our internal wounds and to changing the world by furthering our understanding of ourselves and others.❤️

Cheers to the weekend, Beauties☀️

It’s Moxie & Me this weekend.🐶

It’s a working weekend - with the beach in the background - fortunately, I do love creating.❤️

Oh, and I love my sisters, and their gorgeous designs. Another Kintsugi favorite by @mikahfashion - healing with gold or silver in this case, always in style.🦋

Did you scoop us some @mikahfashion designs in the HALF OFF SALE? Oh, my heart ❤️ goes pitter patter over Miri’s glorious creations that are clearly Moxie approved.🐶 Right, Mox?🐶

Happy weekend, loves ❤️

“The choices we make can have devastating conseq

“The choices we make can have devastating consequences on others. Being conscious means being conscientious of the impact of our decisions upon others.” - CatherineGraceO 🙌

🚨𝗔𝗻 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗠𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲!🚨

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗮𝗶𝗱, "𝗬𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗮 𝘀𝗺𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗿? 𝗜 𝘀𝗮𝗶𝗱, 𝗻𝗼 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘀𝗺𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗼𝘁? 𝗔𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻, 𝗜 𝘀𝗮𝗶𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿. 𝗡𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿. 𝗛𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗶𝗱,𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 "𝗦𝗺𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗿'𝘀 𝗟𝘂𝗻𝗴𝘀."🔥

I’ve been more quiet lately. With long visits to the ER, doctor’s offices, specialists and pulmonologists. Lots of time spent on nebulizers and, unfortunately but necessarily on heavy meds like steroids, which I detest but are an evil necessity helping me to breathe.🔥

One year ago, I was diagnosed with COPD - Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder. My father was a smoker - a 4 pack a day smoker.🔥

Secondhand Smoke is deadly. Emphysema took my father’s life long ago.🔥

Passed onto me was a set of “Smokers Lungs” that began at an early age. Pneumonia, asthma, chronic bronchitis - the result of living in a smoke filled & stressful environment for decades.🔥

As a young child, I missed school for 3 months - a pneumonia the doctors found difficult to treat - leaving me with water on the lung along with adhesions on my lungs, oftentimes leaving me struggling to breathe.

Yes, I know I look like the picture of health. That’s the deceiving part of social media and of making judgments based upon how we look.🚨

Health is a huge priority for me. I’ve faced obstacles before I was told I couldn’t possibly survive.🚨

Well, I did survive - many many life threatening illnesses and obstacles. When doctors gave up on me, I found a way to heal - from the inside out.🚨

Fortunately, I understand the power of Belief - the inner power we have to heal any obstacle in our path. I also understand the connection to our lungs and to grief. Grief can suffocate us if we allow it. Not me.

I’ll be back in the hospital Monday for more tests and a long road ahead of me. 🚨

Thank you to my Fierce sisters for standing beside me. You truly are the wind beneath my wings.🦋

“Age is so much more than a number.” - Catheri

“Age is so much more than a number.” - CatherineGraceO 🔥

𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗶𝘀𝗺 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 "𝗶𝘀𝗺" 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗮𝗹𝗹.

𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 "𝗶𝘀𝗺" 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗲𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗲.🔥

When I began this journey on social media almost 7 years ago, I was one of the first to tackle Ageism head on - not in a negative, divisive way, but rather to shine a beautiful light on the positive aspects of getting older.

𝗪𝗲 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝘁 𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘂𝘀. 𝗪𝗲 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁, 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗱, 𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝗴𝗲.🔥

Getting older is far more about the beauty of our smile lines than our wrinkles.🔥

The last decade (#10yearchallenge) has tossed a hell of a lot of obstacles & challenges my way to overcome.🔥

The result being an inner strength and beauty I’m just beginning to understand.🔥

That’s the wisdom of the ages - the beauty of the ages - the beauty within that begins to show without.❤️

I can’t wait to see what the next decade brings - nothing a Fierce woman can’t handle.

Bring it on, baby.

Here’s to Aging Positively & to Betty White who showed us that age is so much more than a number - and that to age is a beautiful thing.

A huge thank you to @lesleypedraza for this gorgeous image & for magnificently capturing the beauty that lies within.

My ❤️ is grateful to the beautiful @jessdoesmymakeup for my glamorous makeup 💄 & for being one of the greatest cheerleaders for women at Midlife and Beyond.
