Our natural world mirrors the cycles of our own growth and development. Fall is a time of year when the external world reminds us that it’s OK for us to shed the things that are unnecessary moving forward. It gives us permission to look within and discover what...
I had just gotten our daughter settled for the night when I told my husband I needed his help wrapping my head around a visual concept. He resisted. Although much insight comes to me in the dark quiet hours, to my dismay, late night conversations about deep topics do...
I have big news. BIG news! For years – 5 years actually – I have been working on something that only a very few number of people knew about. I kept it close to my heart because it needed protecting. I squeezed it into nap times, late nights, and early...
When was the last time you gave yourself a moment of peace and quiet? Time to unplug from the demands around you to spend some quiet time with yourself. Time to simply ‘be’ and to remember who you are and what you’d like for yourself. If...
When I was 17 years old, I was diagnosed with a heart condition that would require lifelong medication. Unless I moved slow and deliberate enough, whenever I stood up I would get dizzy and pass out. So I settled into a life less than the one I had planned for. The...
Oh my gosh is it frustrating when you watch someone getting in their own way and there’s nothing you can do about it! You can almost anticipate the outcome when you see the writing on the wall and know where it will lead. Yet they are blind to it. It’s...
Life isn’t always a bowl full of cherries. And that bed of roses? Forget it. Sometimes life has a way of getting all sorts of crazy and all you can do is take a step back and say, “How in the world did I get here?” When I am moving through any...
Sometimes opportunities plop in front of you in the most perfect timing, don’t you think? Sometimes those opportunities are even better than you could have imagined. They have the ability to light a fire on your inner desires or make them burn even brighter...
Doesn’t it feel good to be at the beginning of a brand new year? I know for me it feels so full of possibilities… like there is so much waiting to be discovered and experienced. It feels full of light and energy… and hope. For me and my family, 2016...
It’s the eve of a full circle moment for me today. Two years ago I stepped out into the unknown and took a deeper stand for myself and my dreams than I ever had before. I resisted. I cried. I resisted some more. Then I decided I wanted more. I said YES to the...
“Are you ready yet?” I asked. “No” she replied with a grimace crinkling her face. “You’ll probably surprise yourself how well you do. Do you want to just try and see how it goes?” I knew the answer before she said it as she looked away. “No thank you.” In that...
Time is an interesting thing. When we’re young it seems to move at a snail’s pace. The minutes feel like hours and an eternity can fit into the space of a day. Just ask any child to wait 15 minutes; it’s like fingernails on a chalkboard to them. They can’t sit still...
I’m currently nurturing a project that has me filled with joy and possibilities. Somehow time seems to slip through the hourglass faster when I’m working on it. It’s one of those projects that has been lingering in the back of my mind for awhile now, years actually,...
Have you ever gotten to the point when you feel like you’ve worked so hard and yet you have nothing to show for it? When you hunkered down, got busy, and felt like you were making progress… but then you looked around and saw the same old thing and nothing...
“When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” — Dr. Wayne Dyer Now that fall is inching it’s way closer to us, it’s easier to reflect upon the past few months of summer. Summer is typically a time of outward expression and...
One of the things I’ve noticed over the last 15 years is that the people who are the most successful in life are the ones who breathe. Funny joke, right?… Of course you need to be alive and breathing to be successful! But I’m talking about taking...
Do you find it easy to make decisions or have you found yourself waffling over choices more often than you’d like to admit? Have you ever been afraid to make a decision or to take a stand? Have you ever been afraid about what others will think, so you...
This past week has been significant for me personally. I was joyfully embracing and honoring more completely the ‘thing’ I thought was most important for me… the thing that has brought me much passion and joy. I was so proud of myself for finally getting...
It’s happened to you more times than you’d like to acknowledge. Yet it’s taboo to speak about so you are left to deal with it on your own, in secret, and without support. Or if you are actually brave enough to talk about it, often it will be minimized,...
We have been given one of the most amazing gifts in the world. The ability to choose what to think, what to feel, how to behave, and ultimately the freedom to become the people we wish to become. The power of our mind makes this happen. Ralph...
