It was such a great conversation I just have to share. I have been working with this client who, like all of my clients, is absolutely amazing. Yes, I am biased and I have no problem with that. This person started on this leg of their personal journey and has implemented daily self-care, practices, and strategies that have lifted their
Why Would You Ever Want to Leave? Women Following Their Greatness
“People keep telling me “It’s a really good job, You make good money, why would you ever want to leave that?” She said it, and my stomach turned. This was the second time in two days I had some wonderful brilliant woman tell me how people were shaming her for wanting more from her career than the status quo. In
Boundaries Not Limits – a Story of Unconditional Love
“I don’t know what’s up with him lately,” she said. “He always has lots of stress at work, but he’s never acted the way he has this last week. We had a fight like we have never had before.” She went on, “sure we have times that we disagree and little tiffs about things” she added, “but we’ve never yelled
Clearing by the River
On a Misty gray Saturday morning, I found myself in my typical place of solace, on a dirt trail strolling through the woods, near water. Surrounded by cedar, dried and falling from its tree, as it does at this time of the year, the trees lead us in knowing how to let go, to release, and to purge. At a
Scars of Life – the Tears of a Tree
My husband was actually the one to notice. I never even paid attention as I was tying our laundry string around a beautiful little cedar tree. “Did you notice somebody carved their initials on that tree?” Like I said, I hadn’t even seen it. When he said it, I stepped back, and I noticed initials truly carved into the side
Mindfulness- a Portage Reminder
I worked for years, trying to rebuild after my shoulder injury that I thought for sure would make it impossible for me to ever get a Canoe over the top of my head, and off, again.

Time to Lighten the Load
“I hate September,” she said “As long as I can remember I have hated September. I hated it when my kids went back to school in the fall and it was time to get back into a routine. I love them being at home with me, and I always hated it when they left from grade school through college I
All in the Balance
Ever notice how much easier it is to give than to receive? And no, I am not just speaking to the women here. From the time we are born many of us are conditioned to believe that giving is the best answer to anything and everything. I don’t want to diminish the tremendous impact giving has on us and our
Tumbleweed
We entered into the group space and Spirit was clear in its vision, “it is a time of releasing” and showed me a vision of a tumbleweed bouncing along a dusty gravel road, circa the old west. They continued to explain that we are wearing off our old, unserving, outdated of all things; beliefs, values, feelings, thoughts, etc., and from
