Crossroads

Being angry is like holding a piece of burning coal in your hand and hoping the other person feels pain.

It’s aContinue reading “Crossroads”

Thank Dog!

Our perfect companions never have fewer than four feet.

Choosing Peace

Somehow, you are both the best and the worst thing that has ever happened to me. We’re going for lunch today, meeting at a halfway point. She asked, I concurred. When I checked in with my body – used mindful breathwork, sat quietly, located where I feel energies when I think of her and ponderContinue reading “Choosing Peace”

Mom & Grace & Me

To forgive is not to excuse what the other person did. It’s to prevent their behavior from destroying your heart.

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. Energetically, when we’re together, it’s like BAM. AlwaysContinue reading “BAM”
