We’re about ready to move into the hottest part of the year in our midwestern neck of the woods, and you won’t hear any complaints from me. I like the warm weather and abundant fresh food sources. What I don’t like is muscle cramps, fatigue, and unquenchable thirst.
Read MoreA week ago, I heard a consistent, pitiful, break-your-heart mewing from the wilds of our flower garden/lilac bushes. The closer I got, the louder the mewing. I spied a lonely 4-week-old gray-stripped kitten in a thicket who was too frightened to come out no matter how I coaxed.
Read MoreI’ve recently been diagnosed with Lyme Disease…again. Ugh. I’ve had it for at least 15 years, maybe longer. This time both legs took turns swelling to the point where I couldn’t see my ankles. Don’t worry though, I found a wonderful doctor and an amazing natural healer to help me. I feel like this time I’ll kick these persistent bacteria out of my blood for good!
Read MoreIt’s spring! Yay! I love spring. But do you know what I don’t love? Weeding. I don’t. Why? Because it’s never finished. I was pulling weeds from my flower beds feeling like mission accomplished, and a day later there are more. Sometimes even the same day there are more!
Read MoreHow would you feel if you invited a friend to lunch and they canceled on you at the last minute? You’re already seated at the restaurant waiting, sipping water looking forward to this time with them. In fact, they had seemed excited about getting together with you too, but then you get the call—sorry, I can’t make it.
Read MoreAs I was sitting on the patio enjoying a bit of sunshine over the weekend, two dragonflies zipped beneath my chair, raced around the table, and flitted off to wherever their magnificent wings carried them.
Read MoreI talk a lot about the importance of paying close attention to your thoughts and feelings, because they are the blueprints for creating your reality. Today, I’m going to get a little sciencey and try to explain why this is true.
Read MoreThe most important questions you can ever ask yourself are: What example am I being at this moment? And is this the example I want to be? If so, congratulations. If not, congratulations for noticing. Now you have the option to pick a different way of being… or not. No wrong answers.
Read More“What you do with your mind and emotion will eventually build a cocoon around you which is not a protection. It’s a coffin.” –Sadhguru. Last week I talked about a powerful takeaway I learned from Brene Brown in a televised event I watched. Basically, whatever thoughts we’re having is a story we’re telling ourselves. If there’s a strong emotion attached to the thoughts, then we’re telling ourselves a story with strong feeling.
Read MoreWhile I’ve been off work recovering from some minor knee surgery, I’ve had the opportunity to do a little television watching (read that as—so bored I don’t know what to do with myself 😉). Two shows stick out: Chris Rock Outrage and Brené Brown’s The Call to Courage. On the surface, neither of these people or shows seem to be anywhere in the same category, yet in some ways they were touching on similar themes.
Read MoreMy first grandchild, Jonathon, was born today, April 5. He is 16 years old and I couldn’t be prouder of the person he is now and always has been. He’s got a wide range of interests, likes to work and learn, loves the outdoors, and is willing to try new things. He’s a good student and athlete, and just an all-around good person.
Read MoreAs many of you know, I live on a nice little farm on top of a big Plum City hill. While it is picturesque and peaceful, it is also hard to find and nearly impossible to get to during the winter months. This year I’ve had to reschedule many sessions because the gravel roads I live on have turned into cavernous mud pits deep enough to swallow an army tank.
Read MoreI’ve noticed many of my clients, friends, and family are dealing with some type of inflammatory issue from gut problems, asthma, joint pain/arthritis, allergies, skin rashes, sinus infection, thyroid issues, migraines, and so much more.
Read MoreWhen you’re excited about something it feels like you’re soaring with energy. When you’re sad or depressed you might have no energy at all and find it difficult to motivate yourself. If you feel anxious, it’s often hard to stop worrying or thinking about a problem. Emotions change your energy vibration.
Read MoreYou are Love. I am Love. Together we are exploring what that means to us individually and as a collective. We are the meaning givers. Humanity is in the process of expanding its understanding of itself through Love. What that means for me is doing the opposite of what I used to do. Here are a few examples:
Read MoreAs a human being you will be triggered. I will be triggered. Many times, the trigger manifests as conflict.
Read MoreCreative energy works in the same way for everyone in the form of thoughts and feelings. We all think and feel and every bit of those thoughts and feelings are creative. How do I know? Name any material object, place, job, or relationship that wasn’t first an idea—a thought/feeling.
Read MoreIs there someone (or a circumstance) in your life that triggers you? Maybe you can’t stand being around a person and directly blame them for how you feel. Mostly, in your opinion, they are wrong in their stance, don’t treat you right, and you’d be better off without having to deal with them.
Read MoreThere are lots of options to help you heal these days, and one of them is sound therapy. Sound healing therapy uses music or tones to improve emotional, mental, psychological, spiritual, and physical health.
Read MoreFor some reason this winter seems the length of two, so much so that I still have my Christmas tree up enjoying the bright twinkling lights. In fact, I see quite a few people still have trees lit in their windows. Good for us! 😊
