I was sick as a dog. I mean I couldn’t even get out of bed, running a fever, all sorts of creative body things happening that I won’t get into. You get it, I was sick. Midday on this hellacious day my phone rings and I ignore it. A few seconds later it rings again. I ignored it (seriously,
Finding peace in the spaces in between spaces
The conversation was bold and deep and transparent. Five professionals, all different in how we work but similar in that we work to help create ways for ourselves and others to shift into a new age, with new ways in life, business, leadership and community. As I feel like I have been navigating change and the unknown for a few
Signs of Spirit
I walked into her adorable boutique, gave a quick hug and kiss of greeting and as she turned around something clinked against the floor. We both stopped and looked down to see the tales side of dime staring up at us. We looked at each other, eyes twinkling and burst into laughter. Once again, her dad made his presence known,
Prayer
Prayer Life. It’s been a bit much in some ways as of late. I find myself fighting for control, something, anything I can do to MAKE things better. I stop for a breath of awareness and recognize the literal pain of pretending there is anything at all that I can do, is causing me. I know what my Spirit
Spring wedding
I was in the midst of my spring post sapping season ritual of going out to the trees with a blend of sacred herbs, mixed with my absolute favorite herb in the world, coffee. A little sprinkle for each tree that gifted us this season, along with the woods in general as I believe it is with great support that
A change in seasons
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)
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,
Chasing what I want, while I walk past it
I was recently in Duluth, staying at a client’s home, which is a pure gift to me. While there she passed on a book for me to read, a series of essays by Brian Doyle called “One Long River of Song.” It is life-changingly beautiful; profound, poetic, deep and so thought provoking. His words make me want to stop…just stop
Clearing out the goo
He took my hand and he led me to the edge of a swamp. As we approached, I saw the beauty of the lush and green of the cattails on one end, and in the center a small pool of blue faded into the muck, and the marl of a pretty typical swamp. When we got to the edge
New ways to see the world
New ways to see the world I walked up to the Convenience store in the airport and had to scan my credit card just to walk in… that’s weird. All I wanted was a bottle of water for the flight. I picked up my items and approached the person standing by the reader where I entered. “Just walk out,”
