Staring at the popcorn ceiling for five days as allowed me to spend a great deal of time contemplating so many things in my life. The obvious, current moment ‘thing’ is the pain and the implication of an injury to not only my business life, but my life in general. The daily dog walk that [...]

Finding me

My latest spiritual deepening comes from The Book of Awakening, written by Mark Nepo. It is a rich and wonderfully insightful daily reading that both grounds and opens me. Yesterday Nepo wrote about finding ourselves within the aspects of nature. He offered an idea of learning from nature–how the stone cracks to let light in, [...]
Freedom through the breath

The body does not know the next breath. It is not able to go back to the breath a minute go, much less five years ago. The body can only be in this breath. Imagine if we could take that lesson into our thoughts, words, experiences, and actions. We would no longer hold onto the [...]

Spending my 40th birthday celebrating the goddess that is me, in Sedona, with a dear friend surrounded by the mystical and magical rocks of the area. I woke up yesterday morning 40… In my celebration, I reflected and shared the journey within that allowed the journey outward. The spiraling of the labyrinth that brought me [...]

I see myself off my center point. Call it an accumulation of chaos or perhaps more honestly, it is the long and deep seeded beliefs of old. Off center meaning I am no longer diligent with my self-love, my self-work and my self-care. The excuses are many yet the truth is unspoken and held deep [...]

Over the last year I have lost and I have gained. I am struggling to make sense of the possible connection, or simply just find peace with the changes.

Namaste… I honor the place in you in which the entire Universe dwells. I honor the place in you which is of love, of truth, of light, and of peace. When you are in that place in you, and I am in that place in me, we are one. Love speaks gently. Love encourages and [...]

I had a dream last night that stayed with me for hours throughout the morning. It was dream where I woke to tears. The more I thought about the dream, the more I cried. The dream symbolized to me the recent months of upheaval in my life. It symbolized the lack of connection I have [...]
