The Fridge Fiasco: A Cool Story of Intuition and Repair
Hi Reader,
I’m heading to Santa Fe for a writers’ conference next week. If you have any must-see places, please drop me a note. I’m looking forward to being with other writers and immersing myself in the craft of writing. The prep for being away made for a busy week, you know what I mean, the extra laundry, packing, and making sure all the moving parts are covered.
One extra task on my to-do was a fridge on the fritz. After a Zoom call the other night, I came downstairs to a freezer with…
The Energy of Purpose: Making Time for What Matters
Hi Reader,
I’ve been stirring the pot in my business. Looking at what I want more of, less of, and what comes next. It’s fun, scary, and exciting. I love to create and I have a few new projects on the horizon that will blend creativity, energy medicine, and self-discovery… so much fun. I hope you have something that’s sparking your interest too.
I wanted to talk about purpose this week. I hesitate to use this word as it has become almost cliche. Many times, it’s used in reference to…
Energy Healing: What Does All The Jargon Mean?
It’s the prime time of summer, and if you believe what you see on social media, everyone is outside, living their best life without a care in the world. My life, while I love it, is more up/down/sideways than a steady stream of blissed-out perfection. My guess is...
Reflecting on the Journey: Mid-Year Check-In and Adjustments
We’re having our first heat wave of the summer this weekend, luckily, the fog here on the coast helps keep the temperature down. I did have a delightful moment last night sitting with a glass of wine and a Jodi Picoult (Wish You Were Here) book. A perfect close to the...
Breathwork and Books : Nourishing Your Mind and Soul
Hi Reader,
I hope your week is going well. It’s Labor Day weekend here in the States, the unofficial step into Autumn.
As we shift gears into a new season I thought I would share a breathing technique and 3 books I read this month (I love to read but I do also listen to books on audible so will note when that is the case). I hope you carve out a little space for yourself this weekend to relax.
The breath and the state of the mind are intricately linked. You can control your mind by…
Summertime Slow: The Power of Doing Less in Order to Revitalize Your Mind, Body, and Soul
One of my goals this year was to do less. I wanted to weave in more white space(basically unscheduled free time- blank spots in my day planner) so I could follow creativity and curiosity and discover myself more fully. It feels easier in the summer months with the...
Two Essential Tools For Easier Decision Making
I’m meeting a friend who's visiting from the East Coast at the Japanese Tea Gardens in San Francisco. I love wandering through taking in all of the beautiful plants and flowers.....and I get to hug Sarah, who I've not seen in over a year 😍 I hope you have something...
From Simple Moments to Abundant Living: The Magic of Gratitude
Hi Reader,
I was in the backyard one morning earlier this week when I noticed several ripe cherry tomatoes. This delighted me to no end. When I lived in Connecticut I had a large garden and grew a plethora of vegetables, my favorite is tomatoes.
Since moving to California I can grow beautiful flowers, berries, and citrus but not tomatoes. I still plant them every year, hope springs eternal in this gal’s heart. This year, for reasons beyond my comprehension, I have tomatoes. YUM!
Later that…
Embracing Life’s Cycles: The Energy of The Fallow Cycles
Hi Reader,
It’s late August the kids are heading back to school. I can’t get used to school starting before Labor Day (I know I’m dating myself😂). This time of year always has a feeling of new beginnings, in many ways more so than January first. I’ve been looking at what I want more of, less of, or none of and it drew me down this path of cycles.
Life, much like the seasons, unfolds in a rhythmic dance of growth, rest, and renewal. Just as the earth experiences its changing seasons, we too…
Superstitions: The Curious Influence of 13, Ladders, and Crossed Fingers
Hi Reader,
Today is the perfect day to publish this piece, as it is the 13th. 🍀🤞I was having dinner with my friend Alicia a few weeks ago. Directly behind our table was a floor-to-ceiling glass wine refrigerator. There was a rolling library ladder used to access the upper shelves. Beyond the refrigerator was a short hallway that led to the restrooms. Partway through dinner, a waiter rolled the ladder to the front of the case to get a bottle of wine and left it there.
I watched as several…
From Scarcity to Abundance: Changing the Narrative of ‘Not Enough
It's been a busy week, and with that some time pressure. The feeling of "not enough" whether it be time, money, space, or connection often comes with a mental spiral that leads you deeper into the “not enough.” As we craft a story around our problem and continue to...
Embracing Your Creative Spirit – Why it’s Important
Hi Reader,
The days are long, the flowers are blooming, and the beaches are crowded. Summertime is in full swing and seems to be flying by. I’m in Connecticut for my oldest daughter’s birthday and my granddaughter’s birthday.
I love catching up and soaking up some time with them. One of the things that always makes me smile is the creative projects I do with my granddaughter. Last year I taught her how to sew. This year we have a stuffed pumpkin project.
Creativity is expressed in so many…
