When I was a little girl, I said a prayer. I asked earnestly to never forget what it feels like to be a kid. I don’t know exactly what my thought process was at the time. (I was quite young.) But there was something I saw in the grown-ups around me that I KNEW I… Continue reading The Prayer

Faith, Intention, and Focus
Maybe you’ve heard it before, or a million times… “What you focus on expands.” So whatever you put your attention on the most, you will get more of that. What does that really mean to you? I went through some dark times last year around this time. I experienced deep depression, and I couldn’t find… Continue reading Faith, Intention, and Focus
Reflections On Mothering A Daughter ~ A Mothers Day Post
The following is a poem I wrote on Mothers Day. I feel it needs explanation due to the feedback I received after sharing it on social media. It is NOT my current experience of life or my relationship with my daughter. It IS however from my own life learnings, and things I have observed over… Continue reading Reflections On Mothering A Daughter ~ A Mothers Day Post
The Quiet Place Between Here And There
How is it that I go from feeling immense gratitude and love, and the sense that all is well and perfect in my life… to writhing on my floor sobbing with no interest in going on at all? If you’ve got an answer, or a SOLUTION, I’d love to hear it! Cuz that is how… Continue reading The Quiet Place Between Here And There
The Day After
Well there you have it. History is made. Perhaps not in the way many people believed it would be. But made nonetheless. I chose not to share my thoughts and feelings about this years presidential race. There was no candidate that my conscience would allow me to support. Since that was my truth, it didn’t… Continue reading The Day After
Lessons From The Heart: Could Today Be My Last?
It’s happened before. But this time…this time was different. This time I truly faced my mortality. The reality that my body, this flesh shell that I live inside, is fleeting, disposable, perishable and is subject to weakness. When the body seems to “fail” us, we realize that the power we think we have over life… Continue reading Lessons From The Heart: Could Today Be My Last?
Lunch: Just Food? Or An Act of Profound Self Love?
I had the most wonderful lunch! I took myself to my favorite Thai restaurant. I ordered things from the menu that I’d never tried before. (I have certain go-to dishes ordinarily) I enjoyed soup and even dessert. I sipped jasmine tea and finished the whole pot. It’s like it was my birthday or some other… Continue reading Lunch: Just Food? Or An Act of Profound Self Love?
Crying: How It Sucks and Why I Highly Recommend It
I’ve stopped wearing mascara on my lower lashes. It’s become a necessity since I started crying. All. The. Time. Seriously though, there are days when I have put on makeup and DURING application, tears would come. I would clean up my face and continue to apply makeup only to walk out of the bathroom and… Continue reading Crying: How It Sucks and Why I Highly Recommend It

(In a good way…) What I want to share with you about my experience is this: OPEN TO THE EXPERIENCE… Continue reading OPEN
Your Child Is ALREADY Good
I was walking to my car the other day and passed by a mother with her child of 2-3 years. They were sitting at a table finishing up what appeared to be their lunch. When I was a few yards away, the child quietly asked the mother for something, to go somewhere. The mother’s reply:… Continue reading Your Child Is ALREADY Good
