My 3 year old came up to me out of the blue and said, “I love you,” and gave me a big hug. I had a great session with a client and felt like I made a difference. My partner grabbed the drying towel, and dried and put away the dishes I was washing without […]
It was the day before Halloween. I needed to make a potluck dish for my 3 year old’s preschool party. I also needed to make sure he ate something substantial before the party because he has to eat gluten and dairy free, and I knew there wouldn’t be many options for him there. I had […]
About once a year I like to write a manifesto to help guide me throughout the year. It’s not January yet but It feels like a new world, doesn’t it? My mom texted my sisters and me yesterday to say there was another shooting. All I could think was, “Seriously? Another one? I have to […]
Yesterday was one of those mornings. The kind of morning where everything was off. My 3 year old was a wreck. I was trying to start off my Monday with yoga and meditation before doing some work (didn’t happen). My partner and I got mad at each other because we were both stressed out by the […]
Have you noticed that there’s been a falling away of things we no longer need? I have spent the past year actively decluttering my home, business, and life, and now I find that the universe seems to be doing the decluttering for me. And yet it is not just a falling away of things that […]

Following a gluten & dairy free diet, meditating, and using hypnotherapy and past life regressions are all an integral part of my life now. But there are also some smaller but simple steps that, when practiced regularly, […]
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve sat down in meditation with the plea, “Just tell me what the next step is! I don’t know where to go from here!” Sometimes I get an answer. More often I get an answer I don’t want, like: Meditate more. Practice compassion. Relax. Learn to receive. Our […]
I was hiking with a friend recently and telling her about the virtual workshop I’m planning, a spiritual workshop for women, to talk about race, politics, and other things that are divisive in our country right now. (You can still register if you’d like to join or listen to the recording. It’s free and will […]
My son just turned three and we got him a balance bike. He loves his new bike and has spent hours riding it already. He is normally very mistake-phobic. He does not like messing up, and will go out of his way to avoid doing things if he can’t do them perfectly (wonder where he […]
