I just came in from the woods. It is cold (relative to humidity which is making it feel colder), rainy and a breezy, not the most comfortable of days weather wise. My reason for being in the woods (yes, we all know I do NOT really NEED a reason to be in the woods, but today I actually have one)
Leading with your body
It is a full moon lunar eclipse day… accompanied by 10 inches of fresh, not seen this winter until today, snow. While many are complaining about “this should be rain by this time of the year,” or “Ugh, I hate snow,” I am blissfully sitting in a coffee shop in Walker, post massage, while my hubby gets a massage… I
God winks – aka, Where in the world is my kid
It’s been a long few weeks with no communication from my son, the Navy kid. I’ve been fine, I know he’s fine, it’s fine. Until today, I was texting with his wife and she came back with a “Btw, I haven’t had communication from Christian since February —th.” “Me either,” I replied…and then my anxious mind went to work. By
Reciprocity
It is the most wonderful time of the year! For many of you, you may be wondering how I completely missed Christmas, but I am not talking about Christmas. I am talking about maple sapping season!! Every year we go to the woods, drill, hammer, taps, hose and buckets in hand, waiting to see what we will get from Santa…ah,
The gift of this man
I wish you all could take a look around my house…well, maybe not, it looks like a crazy person lives here. Along with boxes of journals, and me on my computer writing, I see the table I brought up and placed directly in front of our living room window, now covered with seed packets and seed pods as I have
It’s all in the journey
He came to me with this crazy dream, and began to tell me all about it. Recollections of him standing on his head and his deceased mother being there, but not being able to hear her and all sorts of other things. I asked his spirit what this was about, and heard her laughter as a response. “He’s trying way
Telling of Two Things
“I literally told her like 10 percent of what is happening with me, and guess what she says.” My client is talking about a conversation she had with her Mother in regards to a recent well-being retreat involving lovely processes such as deep yoga, clean eating, healing sessions, etc. that she is loving herself through. There is an old counseling
The option of suffering
It has been said that in life, pain is guaranteed, suffering is optional. Yup. Let’s talk about this. A few weeks ago I was working with a client of mine and she was talking about her soon to be ex-spouse. For years their relationship had been toxic; abuse on every level, talking down to her in public creating incredible humiliation,
The sometimes not so gentle tap of potential…
Anyone else feeling just a little… rammy lately? I mean that itch for something new, different, the dream of scrapping it all and walking out of the mundane into a brand new life, just for the fun of doing something so crazy different??? Ok, maybe it’s just me. Except I know it’s not as I see and hear it all
Living the song of your Spirit
As our Minnesota winter has been very spring-like it is actually hard to believe I still have to wait so long for garden season. Each year my unofficial first sign of spring is the Acme tomato catalog showing up in my mailbox. Last week, it happened. As I opened the mailbox the intense orange of the paper almost jumped into
