That was kinda intense?! WDYT?

Giving myself a little bit of a WHOA message from the last email I wrote - so are you awake! HA! No really, Reader, we are approaching this last cycle of the year - and what I realized after I send that out was first I had to compost / dissolve some other thoughts / habits / ideas I had of what my year HAD ALREADY been like. Reflecting on the past 9-10 months of my life and what went well, what needs tending to or what needs support. I am moving in my body and feel strong, so that’s good and...

Hey Reader, I am not announcing this to get your nervous system all unregulated (joke 😂) but I am wanting to let us see this cycle ahead as a time for growth~love~prosperity~abundance~and overall RADNESS. (yup, sure that's a word 😳!) Let's take a collective inhale through the nose and deep into the belly and exhale out through the nose, longer than the inhale and connect to that higher self / source connection / ancient intelligence / inner wisdom... Ask yourself: What's important now? What...

I wanted to apologize to you, Reader, for my goof up on my last email! I usually get the personalization correct, but I did goof and it did not say your name. So first off you are a person, not just a thing, and I so appreciate you being here! And thanks to everyone who let me know 🤦🏻♀️! Will keep working my proofreading skills! **** I have started to post some mobility videos (short 2-5 min) on helping you move better in your body! ♡ Rotator cuff mobility with your choice of soft tissue ball...

I was reflecting on how I often request people to listen to me (lots of times / day 👊🏽mom life ) and how I am trying very hard to listen listen listen and not talk over or talk more or interrupt... And so for all my requests for others to listen to me...are we really able to understand that the true listening happens within, by LISTENING TO OURSELVES! We are our first teacher, our first guide, there is this one spark that lives inside each of us and it is UNIQUE. I recently went on a...

A Welsh Sunrise

Ancient intelligence vs. Artificial intelligence AND Spiritual downloads vs Digital downloads... Who wins in your life, Reader? I am freshly home from a solo trip to Wales for a hiking adventure and a spiritual pilgrimage to Malta to the oldest standing temple in the world, dedicated to the earth Mother. Now before you get worried about me writing about woo-woo - I want us all to take a collective breath and check in with that initial question I posed. Who is winning in your life - who is...

Chalk heart drawn on cracked pavement

I don't know if you knew this...but I was a flight attendant flying for United Airlines on September 11, 2001. I was based in Boston. When you are new to flying, you get sent everywhere and don't have a set place you fly. You just get told the night before or morning or where you were lucky enough to fly to. Being in Boston, we had these transcontinental flights that flew direct to Los Angeles. I was dating my husband, Dave, at the time, and I would call and BEG them to put me on that flight...

Ever felt like you know what you want to do, but you get stuck in taking that next step on the path ahead? I sometimes need clarity, or to walk through a fear door, or to just make the choice. When I am feeling this way or thinking these ways, do a few different things. I go outside - usually with movement or water - preferably both! I move breathe and clear the obstacles from the physical ~ mental-emotional ~ and soul pathways that feel sticky! I take a breath and listen in and connect to my...

What is so uniquely wonderful about you? How do you bring people together or demonstrate kindness? How do you use your unique gifts in service to your family and your community? Reader, take a moment and explore your answers to one or all of these questions. Smile to yourself as you give yourself a hug or some gratitude for those gifts that are uniquely yours!!! Bonus: please consider what you want to cultivate more of or how you can put those gifts out into the world (if you aren’t already...

W.I.N. = What's important now Reader, I want to say that this is a game changer for me. In the first few moments of me starting my day - usually at the end of a 5+ minute meditation / mindfulness session - I ask myself this question, "What's important now?" This quiet space of time allows my intuition and my inner higher self have some important things to say before all the other entities (kids, partner, dog, phone messages, to do list...) have a vote! Sometimes it's a priority for my health...

After I had a great mother-daughter chat with my mama - thanks mom! 😘- I reflected on how forgiving ourselves is super important when giving ourselves compassion. Dr. Daniel Siegel (an author and pioneer in interpersonal neurobiology and attachment science) has a key quote on forgiveness: "Forgiveness is giving up all hope for a better past.” This quote emphasizes that forgiveness isn't about accepting past actions, but rather about letting go of the illusion that the past can be changed....
