Have a favorite time of the day?

So hey! Reader! I was in the bedtime snuggle / book reading moment with my 9 y.o and we were reading a fave book of mine, “The Three Questions” by Jon This IS by far one of my most favorite times of the day. I love the reading and the snuggling and the connecting, especially important when there has been a disconnect or something to repair from the day. Which - sigh - there usually is. The book had me thinking of the three questions which are originally from Leo Tolstoy. When is the best time...

This has been a special week, Reader. My little one turned the big 9 years old! And David and I celebrated our 20th anniversary!!! Yes, our anniversary is on “April Fools Day.” 😆 (It was yes a bit of a joke for my mother in law but also we were headed to Bhutan for our honeymoon and we needed to leave on a certain date…) For our anniversary date, David and I ran with our Australian shepherd, Laika on the trails near our house. While Laika is off leash, since she is a herding dog, she...

I just realized this myself, Reader, and I was like WHOA!!!! As a mom with kids in school, now is my time to REFLECT on all that's happened (that I made happen!) since September. And ask myself: Have I moved closer to those guiding stars (my goals)? Is there some other thing / way of being / call to adventure that is unfinished or needs more forward progress? 🔥 Because in 11 weeks, when Jr. Lifeguard carpools start, schedules are regularly irregular, and I get to enjoy more time with my boys,...

Hi hi Reader! The equinox is upon us. The 1/2 way point between the winter solstice and the summer solstice. It’s OUR opportunity to listen into our light and our dark —- what’s churning, what’s composting, what’s being planted. Do yourself a favor and RECLAIM sacred solitude to DIVE IN and find out what’s important to you… what behaviors you are ready to let go of ~ what are you calling in ~ Take that breath. Take the walk. Have the difficult conversation. Put your phone down and APPRECIATE...

And ps spring equinox is in a week!!!

Hi hi Reader! Have I told you how much I love math? I have always loved math and if I wasn’t in my healer / yogi / coach / mom lifeline right now 😆, I would’ve been a finance major and done something with that! ➡️or a choreographer ➡️ or a pediatric cardiac surgeon! Now, I use my math skills to enjoy working with the Quickbooks for our businesses. My dancing skills are being channeled into weekly hula practice. The dreams of being a pediatric cardiac surgeon went into my work with kids and...

March 17th, 2026: So Cal Wellness Summit!

Hi hi, Reader! It’s March! My birthday month woop woop!! 🎉 And at my beautiful age of 49! I keep coming back to what is working in my life and that is my: AM Bookend (😉you could also call is Morning Rituals / Morning self care / AM Protocol) You want to make time for your own beautiful sacred nugget of time in the morning. It’s a complete “choose your own adventure” practice. (And I name it a practice because it grows and evolves as you figure out what works for you.) The morning time...

Heads up, Reader, I’m going to talk about some science today. 😆 But first, have you ever noticed that when you get interested in something (like a type of car or a show or style or really anything) you START TO SEE IT EVERYWHERE. You see that car more often on the street, you see the advertisements for shows you like, you see people wearing that type of style of ___ you like…. The Reticular Activating System (RAS) is the beautiful part of your brain that notices, filters, and highlights this...

Before you start this email - reconnect to yourself—> the breath, visualize the breath from the crown of your head to your root and feet and then take the exhale and follow from feet to crown. Release any physical holding or tightness. Scan your physical, mental-emotional, and spirit bodies for any messages. Then finish this sentence: I embody play as ________… We all embody play differently. Myself, I embody play as movement. You need play intentionally in your life to promote overall...

So, Reader remember when I said I was getting a space!!! It’s real. It’s happening in real time. Then I got amped, did some promo things and I had momentum! Then life happened ( I got sick, a child got sick, lost some sleep, nutritionally I was wonky) and I completely got de- railed. Has this ever happened to you?!!!! One moment you are SO crushing it / in the flow and then you get “ka-blammo’ed”. (This is a straight up kids graphic novel term 😆). Frustrating. Two things that I do when this...

Wow, Reader, January has been fun and now you're on to February. Though there is some definite "hallmark greeting card love" going on, this is ALWAYS an opportunity to: LIVE IN LOVE. What does that mean to you, to LIVE IN LOVE? For me, its realizing that the love begins inside rather than outside. More specifically, loving all the parts of myself - the growth and the evolving parts - as well as the stuck and hard to look at parts. Being willing to open to the inner listening to reveal,...
