Rejection – A Way of Getting Closer to What You Want I’ve heard no, been turned down, and rejected in some way or another in more times than I could even begin to count. Some days those no’s penetrate deep into my core.  Other days they roll off of my back and I never give [...]

Pulling Threads

I am in this strange space today, with thoughts running through my head, yet I can’t seem to find a thread that is connected to something large enough to write about.  It is as if I am looking at an old sewing basket, where spools of neglected threads have mingled and twisted into knots, creating [...]

Feeding Our Senses

Last month I had you do an exercise in color, feasting your eyes on the colors of spring, both indoors and outside. I hope you were able to see the beauty that is always around us when we pay attention. A kitchen is another place where we can feed our senses.  So often, we just eat [...]

Forgiveness and Gratitude

On Saturday, I got a call from a panicked Mothers of Preschoolers  president, who had a speaker cancel and was looking for a quick replacement.  I said yes of course and got to present to the women on “Your body is a temple”  I love any opportunity to speak to women about self care.  Although [...]
