Perhaps you need to hear this today
I listened over-and-over to the most peaceful and entracing song yesterday and it's touched me deeply. Perhaps it will move you too. The lyrics to A Song for a Pure Heart are very simply… I am light I am love No matter what is going on around you… Be at peace. And rise… Rise into love Rise into light Rise into knowing who you are. Listen a couple of times and feel your tension melt away. Enjoy! ❤️

Want to believe in yourself and your dream?
Do you want to believe in yourself and your dream? Then stop being so damn hard on yourself! A client of mine — let's call her Sara — is extraordinarily accomplished by any standard. And yet, she's deeply self-critical. She doubts herself, feels unworthy, and doesn't see herself the way everyone else does. I see this again and again with my clients. And honestly, it was me too before I did the work. It takes work to decide you're worthy. To decide you know enough and are enou

Craving more peace AND possibilities in your life?
Are you craving more peace and possibilities this year? You can. By embracing THE AND. Embracing THE AND is both a beautiful insight AND can be a deeply challenging practice. It asks us to honor the wholeness of life—to acknowledge that two seemingly opposing truths can exist at the very same time. We explored this concept in my EVOLVE! Program last week and everyone acknowledged that this polarity exists in their lives and it can be a source of anxiety and stuckness. I too a

Stop Trying to Change Yourself this Year!
What would be different if you choose to love yourself – versus change yourself – this year?? Seriously,… you're not broken. You don't need fixing. And you don't need to create a new you this year. Instead, you need to finally and fully be grateful for all that you are. All of YOU. All the parts of you that make up the perfectly imperfect person that you are. Loving, knowing, honoring and accepting yourself is your path to more peace and happiness. Your job is to let go of th

Be the One Who Reaches Out
I get it — life is busy. Some days it feels like you're doing all you can just to keep your head above water. Work, family, responsibilities, the never-ending to-do list… it's a lot. And because of that, it's so easy to let time slip by without connecting with the people who matter most. AND — let this served as a loving nudge… There is truly nothing more important than your relationships with the people you hold most dear. These are the people that bring joy to your life,

What would happen if you took the mask off?
We all wear masks. Some we slip on so often we forget they’re even there. The “I’m fine” mask. The “I’ve got it all together” mask. The “nothing bothers me” mask. Each one designed to protect us, to fit in, to keep life smooth and safe. They’re not bad — they once served a purpose— but over time, those masks start to feel heavy...and exhausting! They keep you from being seen for who you really are. And when you hide behind the mask, people get to know the person you present,

Ode to My Body
To say this is an “ode” may be an overstatement as poetic ability is not something I possess… yet. With that said, I’ve decided it’s time I show this body of mine some gratitude. Perhaps you’ll want to write a letter to your body too. Here goes: Dear body, I’ve been meaning to write you for a while now. To slow down long enough to say what I so often forget to: thank you. You and I have been together for 60 years now — six decades of adventures, laughter, love, challenges,

Being a "good little monkey" will change your life
Remember Curious George — that mischievous little monkey with a knack for finding himself in the middle of chaos? As a kid, I laughed at his antics. As a parent, I was a kid again revisiting his escapades. And now, as a woman fully steeped in midlife, I realize there just might be some lessons we can all learn from him. Curious George’s world is all about wonder. He doesn’t hesitate to explore, to ask “what if?”, or to follow his heart — even when it lands him in a mess. A

You Are EVOLVING
You are not the same person you were yesterday. And you are definitely not the same person you were 20 years ago. It's so easy to feel like you're not growing and making progress unless years have passed and/or there's a big win to reflect on what you've learned and who you needed to be to do that thing. That's missing the mark.
