The Intricacies of Webwork: My Journey in Energy Healing
Have you ever wondered how energy healing can transcend physical boundaries? I often receive questions about my unique approach to energy healing, which I predominantly conduct at a distance. I began healing work with in-person sessions. Now, I find myself deeply immersed in the world of distant healing, a practice I lovingly refer to as “Webwork.” (and yes, people sometimes think I am referring to websites or the worldwide web….I’m not that tech savy 😉) Understanding Webwork: A…
Puzzle Pieces and Life Phases: Finding Your Season
I started a new jigsaw puzzle this week. It’s never just a puzzle for me. I work on a puzzle when I need to distract my mind so I can sort through things on a more intuitive level without my mind taking over.
We’ve all had an abundance of stress and chaos in the last few months, well, actually years.
I’ve been thinking about the seasons in life, both big and small.
I’m currently in a fallow period, and I must admit it isn’t my favorite. The resting, letting things settle, and…
Saying no to what drains me and yes to joy: My process for intentional change
I spent the last couple of days putting away decorations and transferring birthdays and events to new calendars. I’m old school like that, I still use a paper planner and calendars on the wall. Something about the visual combined with the tactile.
This last week of the year is a limbo space. It’s a little slower, a little gaze toward the next year and a little peaking back at the one we’re leaving behind. The rush of the holidays is done, and there’s a stirring to see where to…
Taming the Time Monster: A New Approach
I’m writing from my friend’s home in Santa Barbara. She had a milestone birthday this week. Her wish was to gather her dearest friends for connection and celebration, a heartfelt and beautiful honoring of relationships.
It’s December, the last month of the year. It is a month filled with holiday gatherings with family and friends and many extra things on the to-do list.
I’m finding myself feeling time-starved. There are more “to do’s” than hours in the day. Things are just taking…
A Quick Break from the Hustle: A Sweet Note of Gratitude
For those of you in the States, I hope you had a warm and nourishing Thanksgiving. We had a lovely meal with dear friends and, on Friday, started decorating for Christmas. I love all the pretty decorations, especially the tree. 🎄
No matter where you are in the world, I hope that you take a moment today to connect with all the things that fill you up and make you smile.
Here is a short gratitude poem and a heartfelt thank you for being a blessing in my life.
Grateful Am I

Perfectly Imperfect: Embrace the Real Joy of the Holidays
As the holidays roll around, the idea of perfection pops up. The picture-perfect holiday, whatever that image is in your head, is rarely achievable. Often it just causes us worry and stress. What if we just embraced a…
Conscious Choices, Powerful Outcomes: The Intention Effect
Hi Reader,
I spent a couple of days in Carmel celebrating my birthday with my friend Tawnya last weekend. Lots of talking, laughing, and sipping wine in the hot tub.
We saw a flock of turkeys popping up like they had springs in their feet to reach their long necks into the olive tree. They were knocking the olives to the ground so they could eat them.
The scene was so funny we stopped and watched for a while, completely enchanted.
Coming home on Tuesday meant a long list of things that…
Conversations With a Healer: Unlocking the Power of Narrative Healing
Hi Reader,
I hope all is well in your world. Here is the expanded version of the Narrative Inquiry process. At the bottom is a numbered list of the steps.
Let me know if you have questions and if you try it 🦷🪥
The technique is fairly straightforward. Take the problem or issue and tell the story of it, write it out, or speak it into a notes app for transcription in fifteen minutes or less. The time limit is important, it keeps you focused on the topic and doesn’t let your mind interfere too…
Healing Through Narrative Inquiry
Hi Reader,
I was enjoying a cup of tea and the latest episode of The Amazing Race on Sunday night when a smooth something rolled across my tongue. I spit it into my hand and identified my right rear crown. After a valiant effort to reseat it, I gave up. My dentist couldn’t see me until Tuesday….soooo much time to fret.
I’m very anxious about dental work. It has gotten significantly worse after a lengthy and painful tooth extraction several years ago. As I waited for my appointment, I took the…
ICYMI: The Healing Power of Sound: Beyond the New-Age Stereotype
Hi Reader, Last week had a few speed bumps, a health issue with one of my kids(on the mend now) and some tech wonkiness that frustrated the heck out of me. By Tuesday evening I was feeling cranky and constricted. After I pulled out the fennel and garlic to chop for dinner I turned on some music and before I knew it I was dancing around the kitchen, belting out (severely off-key), Kenny Chesney’s Summertime. I noticed how quickly it shifted my mood. The combination of movement and sound made…
