Early last week, on the drive home from school, my younger son shared that he’d learned about eating disorders in Health class that day. “It’s so stupid Mom. Why do we even have to learn that stuff? I don’t get why people do those kinds of things,” he said indignantly. He continued on, speaking of

What exactly is responsibility? I grew up as the oldest of 5 children being told, “You have to be the responsible one. You should know better. You must set the example.” I’ve been contemplating this word, responsibility, for the past few months. What am I really responsible for? Who or what am I responsible to?

Solstice literally translates as “Sun stand still.” The darkness of Winter Solstice, currently on December 21, marks the entry or birth window to the womb space that receives the Spirit Seed of our being. Our Soul must be prepared to receive, tend and nurture this seed for growth in the new year. Each year, a
Doctors, gurus, teachers, politicians, bosses, friends, colleagues, movie stars, parents…. We listen to all of these and more, taking in what we think we “should” do or believe, rather than exploring what lives in our own personal beliefs or longing. We tie ourselves in knots trying to please these people, making sure we’re “acceptable” based

If there’s one thing I’ve learned on my journey through life, it’s that wisdom and truth will reveal themselves, but it’s our choice as to whether or not that wisdom becomes embodied.

I recently had a conversation with someone that was rather intense and difficult. This is a person who’s been in my life for many years, and who’s always been dear to me. I’ve learned so much over the years of our connection. Relationships are how we’re initiated in the world today, particularly if we’re willing
A question came up recently in a group I participate in about how to stay on task when feeling drained, and keep emotions separate from the work we need to do. The first thing that came to me when I read the question was, “I am not what I’m experiencing.” When I remember this, then
