The End of a Decade. (How does that feel?)

The End of a Decade. (How does that feel?)

As the year winds down, why do we always think about the entire year?  This is the first time I can remember people talking about the last 10 years as much as they have been recently. I almost feel like all the other years are jealous of this year.  2020.  It even feels different to write it out, right?  I mean it will take us all of January to get used to that anyway.

Personally speaking, it’s…

Protecting Your Inner Fire: Empaths Need This

Protecting Your Inner Fire: Empaths Need This

If you are reading this, you feel strongly that something might be out of balance for you this month.  You already have identified with the traits of an empath. << Read more there if you are not sure what that means. There are days you are tired of being tired.  Tired of things not working out like you planned, and tired of feeling drained by others around you.  You have remarkable perception…

Where is the Mid-Life Crisis Guidebook?

Where is the Mid-Life Crisis Guidebook?

The other night I was staring at the clock.  11p.m. (that is an early bedtime to be honest).  Midnight (the cool ideas start coming in and I have to either write them, or sleep).  Then the minutes slowly clicked by for what seemed like an eternity.  I started saying things to myself like, “If I fall asleep now, I can get like 4 hours of sleep”, and later I thought about giving up and going to…

How to Practice the Lost Art of Being Present

“Mom!!  Can so and so have a ride, and such and such.  And can I go over to this person’s house later?  But first I need some new cleats…okay?  Oh and 40 snacks.  Like right now to take into band.  And I forgot to tell you we have to have people over to finish tie-dying these shirts.  And then can you take Person X back home because they don’t have a ride?” Ohmmmm.  That was just one of my teens…

From Panic to Peace...Your Guide to Meditation.

From Panic to Peace…Your Guide to Meditation.

As the yoga class begins, I hit play on the Native American flute music and it wraps around my soul like a healing balm.  I literally shiver and feel myself becoming more still.  More “clicked” in to this present moment.  I breathe deeply and scan the energies.  What do we need today? There are so many threads to smooth down at the beginning of a yoga class.  So we always begin with a centering…

5 Lessons I Learned from International Speaking

5 Lessons I Learned from International Speaking

Wow!!  I did it.  I can now add International Speaker to a resume that I keep inside of myself.  Let me back up.  For those of you who have been following me for a while, you know I left my teaching career and through a series of steps started my own brand and business.  I never had a list of things to do before x age or anything like that.  I always thought that I would retire one day after a…

Tiny continuous improvements.

How can I find more time in my life? Today, your task is to start new habits.  When you come from a place of pain, whether it’s fibromyalgia or other illnesses, as soon as you wake up, do not think about how hard the day is going to be.  Do not think of your to-do list.  Do not think of the tasks ahead which are so difficult to get through you dread them.  No.  Take a dry-erase pen, and write…
