It wasn’t so long ago that I openly, and with much vulnerability, spoke about my desire to have women friends. Authentic and rich women in my life. Women to laugh with, to share with and to celebrate with. The seeds were scattered and now the beautiful bounty of flowers in the form of friendships has [...]

December 12 – Body Integration This year, when did you feel the most integrated with your body? Did you have a moment where there wasn’t mind and body, but simply a cohesive YOU, alive and present? The day was cool. The hike was hard, the uphill never ended. My breath was labored and my legs [...]

Finding acceptance is most difficult when someone you love is fighting for their life. Recognizing the impermanence of form, her physical form that I know as her, the form that may soon lose its battle with cancer. How does one find acceptance and peace?

I was reminded today of the beauty that resides within a true friendship. A woman who I know demonstrates the most admirable qualities of human existence; Authenticity, Acceptance, Truth, Love, Joy, Inner Peace, Wisdom, Faith and Forgiveness. This woman I call my friend.

I love when the work day experience takes a turn for the best. The ‘ah-ha’ moment when clarity and compassion combine. Hearts are softened and minds are opened. When the reality that many of these students have never experienced a friendship shifts. Shifts to compassion and empathy. When as a team we all come together to remember that [...]
