I’ve created numerous vision boards over the years — assembling a collection of beautiful images and words representing my dreams, goals, and desires. But I realized this year that something about that process felt distant, as if I was curating a life for someone else. The p...

For as long as I can remember, the week after the holidays was my time for "catch up". Cleanup from all the holiday entertaining, gifts to put away, and an endless list of "shoulds" calling my name. Even on New Year’s Day—a day meant to symbolize a fresh start—I felt compell...

Throughout my career, I thrived on solving problems and creating detailed plans. Naturally, I carried that mindset into my personal life, holding my family to rigid schedules and structures. I thought my planning skills were a strength—until someone pointed out a hard truth:...

It is 2024 and the start of another year. Many of us set out in the new year with goals, resolutions, vision boards, and so forth - all with the intent to welcome in change and transformation.  This year I decided to pull in CHANGE differently, mostly because I am tired of t...

CHANGE HAPPENS

There will be changes in your life that may rock your foundation and your routines. Maybe you used to meditate or walk miles or lift weights for 30+ minutes for your health every day.  However, a recent situation, has you feeling distracted, less energy or le...

If we do not take breaks, or a brief walk throughout our day to reset our mind and body... will we do it once we get home or once we are done working (for those of us that work at home)? Will the 'work' or the 'stuff' calling your attention continue until you drop into your ...

Do you know anyone you would call an "energy vampire"? You know?... that constant complainer, the victim, the one that acts like "it's all about me" or always comes to you with their problems? 

"Not-Not Mine..."

How do we protect ourselves when the energy vampire is someon...

Listen to your body before it shuts you down...

• In what ways are you pushing through instead of taking care of yourself today?
• How can you prioritize healing when you need it?

Do you (or someone you know) crave a way to prioritize your personal needs or just show up m...

The sacred space of our tables:

• Tables are the places where we meet up with others - to share nourishment, conversation, ideas and support.
• Tables exist in our homes, workplaces, schools, community centers, coffee shops, and restaurants.
• We intentionally invite those to

As a parent, a partner, a colleague, etc... sometimes the stance of "not my problem" is appropriate. Allowing others to solve the problem themselves (and not jump into fix-it mode) can be empowering and an important growth opportunity. However when "not my problem" is used t...

It is easy for me to get caught up in all the tasks and things to do in a day or a week. My lists are long. When I focus on that long list of tasks... it is like sitting at the beach and noticing each one of the grains of sand and comparing each of them to something that I a...

I was sitting in the waiting room of my oncologist's office.  It felt so long since I had sat in this chair and yet it also felt like I had just been here.  It had been 3 months.  The closer this appointment loomed on my calendar, the more anxious I felt about it.  Every sin...
