Sometimes I get a little lost in all the feelings of life. Old pains, exhaustion, worry about the state of the world, and longing every so often sweep me away. Like a tiny kayak swept out into a stormy sea, I feel tossed about and barely able to stay afloat in these moments. Yet somehow I

Yesterday I posted a graphic on my Facebook page…. “I desire to dance, and romance, and find love… perchance.” There was a comment suggesting, “First you have to find love in yourself.” Hmmm… this is a topic of discussion I could really dive into. First off- I think of myself as a person with a

Today is the first morning of my week back with my kiddos and the last week before school starts. As I usually do on these summer week days, I spent the early morning hours multi-tasking. I was watching stock charts, making the occasional stock trade, cooking bacon and bagels, reading game instructions for Netherlee, and

Yesterday I spoke about the importance of acknowledging where our attention has been so we can direct it towards the things that we’d like to be cultivating in our lives.

Recently my Mom was going through old pictures from my childhood and forwarding me her favorites. It didn’t take long for me to recognize a common theme throughout… I used to spend A LOT of time dressing up my pets in doll clothing!! There were pictures of cats in dresses, dogs in bunny ears, and

What do you give your power away to?? I’m gonna be honest here. I’m guilty of sometimes willingly giving my power away to something or someone else. There are often things that I know would nourish and support me if I took action…. yet I choose something far less supportive in a moment of exhaustion

I was watching a video recently which spoke about “incompletes.” It mentioned that anytime we have something we’ve been meaning to do, but haven’t yet, that this unfinished to-do list item pulls on our energy. For instance, the pile of dirty laundry on the chair in my bedroom pulls on my energy just a little

This morning, a beautiful orange lily bloomed outside my front door. As I admired the first of many blooms soon to come, I marveled at the way life channels us into certain places at certain times. Lilies have been rather sacred to me throughout my healing journey over the past couple years. So of course,

Read MoreI don’t know what I don’t know yet. Recently, I was road tripping with my daughter and she wanted to listen to the Frozen soundtracks over and over again.

Or just not knowing?) and thus learns slower and pushes limits slower. The second child see the first and feels less limited so
