I honestly don’t even know what she was looking for. I walked from the living room into the kitchen, and my mom was sitting there, cook book in hand, leafing through the pages. “What are you looking for?” I asked her. “There’s a recipe in here,” and she said the name of the salad she was looking for. I sat
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,
The gift of ritual – taking my assignment seriously
Some of you may remember me sharing about a process I did at the beginning of the year where I wrote down 13 wishes, gave 12 to the Universe and then kept the one remaining as homework assigned by the Universe. It was a burn ritual and done as a “blind” process in that I didn’t know what wishes I
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.

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)
A Spirit Named Shirley
I was so shocked by the story that I had to share it so as soon as I got out of the Co-op, I texted my friend. “I have a new Spirit animal and her name is Shirley,” is how I started the text. In my mind I was imagining my friend reading this with her nose and forehead crinkled
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,
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
Ropes and wheels
Recently on a trip to San Diego to visit my son and his wife, I was sitting in the shade behind the VRBO I was staying in, doing laundry. Yes my life is a thrill a minute adventure. Lol. So this year, one of my commitments to myself is reading a book that a dear friend of mine recommended called
