Be Your Own Witness
What if the peace you’re searching for isn’t out there—but in your ability to witness yourself? That idea has stayed with me ever since I first heard a quote that struck a deep chord: “If you are moved by the praise of others, you will also be moved by their criticism.” That one hit hard.…
The Heart of MyFriendMeghan
At the foundation of everything I share is the belief that Intentional Living changes everything. Whether I’m offering spiritual insight, practical wisdom, or reflections on reclaiming your sense of self, the core invitation is the same: to show up more fully, more freely, and more you. Here are the three pillars that guide my content:…
Forgiveness as a Powerful Tool for Freedom
Forgiveness is often seen as a gift we give to others, but in reality, it is a profound act of self-liberation. It is not simply about letting go of anger or resentment—it is about severing the energetic ties that bind us to the past, particularly to those who have wronged us. When we hold onto…
Energy as Currency: Spend It Like It Matters
When I was younger, I had what felt like endless energy—like a bank account that never ran dry. I gave freely, poured into others, juggled commitments, and rarely thought twice about the cost. It wasn’t until I hit burnout that I realized just how valuable that energy truly was. Suddenly, it was like I had…
Viewing Challenges as Catalysts for Growth
When Life Pushes You Forward I recently found myself reflecting on a moment from years ago—one that, at the time, felt like a failure but ultimately became one of the most pivotal shifts in my life. I had just started a new job after more than 15 years in corporate, academic, and nonprofit spaces, only…
Scale Is Perspective: The Power of Perception in Manifesting
The size or value we assign to something is often subjective—and sometimes entirely arbitrary. What feels monumental to one person may seem trivial to another. Value Is Arbitrary Consider the story of Payless ShoeSource, which launched a fake high-end boutique to prove a powerful point. By dressing up their affordable shoes in a luxury façade,…
Consciousness: The Projector of Reality
Have you ever noticed how the same event can feel completely different depending on your mood or mindset? A challenge on a stressful day might feel overwhelming, but on a good day, the same situation can seem like a manageable opportunity. This isn’t a coincidence—it’s a reflection of how our internal state shapes our external…
Choosing Perspective Polarity: Interpreting the Past, Expecting the Future
Life often feels like a balancing act between what’s already happened and what’s yet to come. We carry the weight of past experiences, constantly interpreting their meaning, while also looking ahead, setting expectations for the future. How we navigate these moments—how we process the past and prepare for what’s next—defines the direction of our lives.…
Orbs: Messages in the Light
Humans have long sought meaning in the world around them, often seeing symbolism in objects, patterns, or phenomena that catch their attention. From ancient cultures interpreting the stars to modern individuals finding inspiration in feathers, crystals, or even unexpected moments, the world is alive with possibilities for connection and insight. One intriguing symbol that continues…
Giving Yourself Permission to Dream
Embracing Limitless Possibility There’s a sacred power in allowing yourself to dream—a quiet invitation to step beyond the confines of what you believe is possible and into a world where imagination can soar. Yet, too often, we clip our own wings, tethering ourselves to limiting beliefs, rigid assumptions, or fear of the unknown. When we…
