Today is a Good Day…To Have a Good Day
Claiming today as a good day is a practice. This morning I was sitting out on my fire escape sipping tea staring out at my beautiful flowers as I listened to the birds sing their songs. Ok, let me be more honest with you…..my mind was a bit more consumed with a situation that…

Three years ago I, like many, was seeking shelter within the storm. My mind was cluttered with anxious thoughts and my body vibrating on a daily basis with stress, anger, frustration, loss, etc. You name the emotion, I had it. Part way through 2020, it felt high time to find an outlet. I thought…” I…

Summer begins to fade into Fall here in New England and the leaves are already beginning to turn. Life continues to churn on. Summer fresh salads turn to slow cooked stews.

It goes without saying that Covid living has been anything but easy. The above rose poking through the fence was a delightful sighting on one of my walks and a great place to begin our talk today. I recently ordered the meditation retreat Welcoming the Unwelcome with American Buddhist meditation teacher, Pema Chodron through Omega…
Read MoreBeauty in the Breakdown
Last night during a session with a client we laughed as I stated There’s beauty in the breakdown. Yes, I know….that is not something I made up. It’s a song by Frou Frou “Let Go” This is how my mind works…..or the way the Universe sends me downloads to help relay the teachings to my…
Read MoreFinding Ground Within
The past several months have felt like a lifetime. I have desperately wanted to share some bits of wisdom but none of it was coming clear. As an extrovert who gains energy from being around people, the rug was pulled out from underneath me with the onset of the Corona virus. It felt like a…
