Thank You

Plaque

Be still and know. Psalm 46:10 I had been in business for 28 years, 7 at this particular location, when I felt it was time to close my doors. Though I had a full week of clients and loved each and every one so very much, I “felt” some big change coming… I would sayContinue reading “Plaque”

BAM

Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen. Brene Brown Yesterday, a client had to reschedule. Already at the office, I meandered out front to talk with a co-worker and friend, Jeff. It’s always such good, deep conversation between us and brings me such joy.

On Friends

Leaning In

Day Nine… and I find myself leaning in to Love like never before… who knew that “leaning in” would look like this, though? Quiet. Still. Curious. Compassionate. Courageous. Scared. Brave. Bold. Unsure. Patient. Just finished an hour on the stationary bike. So thankful to have a piece of cardio equipment that fits inside the house.Continue reading “Leaning In”

What will you be doing? What sightsContinue reading “Floating Up To The Strap”

Consumed

Words. Poetry. Lyrics. Such power to move me. When I write and when I read, I am changed. I can feel the energies pouring into me, coming up from within, and splashing out. There is nothing better.
