My driving is getting much better. Whew. I began to realize if a tour bus can get through these cow paths, so can I. For some crazy reason that calmed me down and I’m not fearful on the road. However, this newfound bravado has my travel partner Renee clutching her door handle. LOL.
Read MoreOne week in Ireland and my word is expansion—waist (the food is so good!), driving skills (yikes to these narrow roads and opposite side driving), and energy (stone circles, faerie glens, and ancient forests).
Read MoreI’m writing to you on Friday, Aug 25th with less than three short days before I board a plane for Ireland. I’m excited and a bit terrified. I’ve never been gone from home for so long to a country I don’t know but feel inexplicably drawn to.
Read MoreOn Thursday my amazing dentist confirmed that my teeth are in jeopardy due to bone loss and gum decline. Two of them are lose. The treatment plan is to pull them, bone grafts, and implants. Ugh.
Read MoreI’m reading a fascinating book titled The Power of Trees: How Ancient Forests Can Save Us If We Let Them; English version published 2023. The author is Peter Wohllenben.
Read MoreToday, my beautiful wise friend, I’m going to invite you to do something radically different than anything I’ve talked to you about so far. Today I want to try to feel your emotions as vibrations in your body without giving them any kind of label.
Read MoreI believe you’ve had enough suffering and are looking for real answers and tools that support your unique purpose. I believe it’s possible to feel confident and whole, and have a life built on love and trust in yourself.
Read MoreI’ve noticed something lately about myself I hadn’t considered before. There are times I process the emotions for loved ones when clearly that is not helpful for either of us.
Read MoreI’m not much of a camper. Roughing it in a tent is not for me. I prefer running water, electricity, and a mosquito-free comfy bed. But there is one type of camp I like a lot—Clear Camp.
Read MoreWhen my granddaughter was four, I found her on a chair looking in the bathroom mirror at her reflection and repeatedly saying I love you. I love you. I love you. She was absolutely glowing with gleeful delight as her pudgy toddler fingers pointed at her image for emphasis. I’ll never forget it.
Read MoreI think I’ve mentioned a few times that I like to journal when feeling stuck, challenged with a problem, or having big emotions. Why? Because I always get my answers even when I don’t want them, or more accurately, when I don’t want the truth of them. I’ve found heart-felt truth often leads to a change in my perception and usually asks for a change in my behavior and actions.
Read MoreOne of my favorite quotes is from author Mervyn Peake: The world awaits you. I love this sentiment so much that I have it as a magnet on my refrigerator. It serves as a daily reminder to take account of how I’m living my life and am I doing what my heart asks.
Read MoreI recently had a session with a master healer in Arizona. He would never claim to be a master or a healer, but a person who is deeply and consciously connected to the Source of All healing. He calls this source God, but is not hung up on a name.
Read MoreWe’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.
