So excited to share this, Reader! I committed to renting a healing space to see clients in Palos Verdes (if you are local - it's 777 Silver Spur Rd). I am sharing the space with two awesome healing women, Noelle and Colleen (a chiropractor and an acupuncurist/ healer - I put their info up on my website). But like, once I committed with my whole body YES! I also had the "TRY WAIT, SLOW DOWN, is this it!" self talk happening. Has this ever happened to you? Your intuition said go for it - then...

Exhale and SMILE, Reader! Here you are in another day to LIVE in LOVE or LIVE and LOVE. 😂Have you ever tried to astonish / delight / surprise a 12-13 yr. old boy? Well, I can tell you that being able to sing some classic METALLICA songs - helped my son and I have a JOYFUL and super fun CONNECTION! (how is Metallica his jam BTW and also 🙏to my 7/8th grade crew of boys I loved hanging out with at St. Lawrence Martyr school!) How can you bring joy into your life this week? What are you already...

I’m going to tell ya, Reader, though I don’t ”need” my phone - it was sure nice on vacation for my phone to accidentally take a snorkel! I GOT to miss calls between 29 December and 3 January. What that let me do was - check in on my inner call system. What have I learned this past year? What am I composting for behaviors / mindsets? (mine: up late reading, rushing around, negative thoughts, not listening well, reacting > creating) One of my favorite tools for checking in with my learnings and...

I have been seriously down my "up too late reading" rabbit hole. This is one of my kryptonites! I don't need to watch TV or do something on my phone, but reading my fantasy fiction novels - that gets me. So I am uncomfortably tired lately. Which I don't like because then I am also "uncomfortably emotional" for the rest of my family. I am sure that's not their favorite. How about you, Reader? What's your kryptonite - and specifically do you have anything that keeps you from getting good sleep...

Hiya and happy new moon and almost solstice!!! I feel like the world is vivid and so exciting for Christmas and the holidays. In my house of young boys, 8 and 12, its very magical and sometimes super LOUD! Whether its their joy on the trampoline or the Alvin and the Chipmunks songs (or now my older one is into some Metallica now)on Alexa at full blast… You get the picture. Life can be loud outside our mind. But inside it doesn’t need to be. When life is loud, I got to find a way to turn it...

What's up, Reader! I am noticing how "just" is a bad word in my vocabulary. Maybe you too? "I'm just.. ...starting this business, so its not exactly going well." ...playing it safe and staying at home to raise these children even though I have other dreams/hopes/goals for my life." ...stuck in my past trauma and I can't move past it." ...not ready to make the change in my career because I'm scared to." ...don't have time to exercise or focus on getting better sleep." BLAH BLAH BLAH. "Just" is...

‘Tis the season of self care, Reader! I know you think you don’t have that 75 minutes to take for yourself or that you don’t really know anything about yoga or maybe you just figure there is “so much to be done right now…” Honestly you can definitely dial in the can’t or won’t on ANYTHING this holiday season. But for this - something similar - MAKE THE TIME. MAKE IT IMPORTANT. Schedule it on your calendar to visit your favorite yoga class / body worker / healer / or my personal favorite get...

It is one of my favorite quotes (adapted) from James Clear and his book "Atomic Habits," that if you are trying to be consistent about ANY-THING in your life as in a daily practice CONSISTENTLY doing your thing is HELLA important. Yes, I said hella as a throw back to my days living in San Francisco 🫣! Think of your body / mind / soul as a cup / vessel / pot. My yoga teacher, Shiva, refers to this as a soma pot. Everyday life force/ joy ETC fills up the cup and other things drain it away....
