I have loved this time of year since I was a child. There’s something magical about the quality of the light, the smell in the air, and the crispness of the leaves as I walk. It’s a time of harvest, and also a time of facing the dragons within. These dragons would like to keep

Something in the soul burns. You feel it, but do you listen? Our ego or lower self might seem to know all the answers and just what we are supposed to do, but it is our soul that truly knows how to live. The soul cries to us, causing a feeling of discomfort each time

You know that cartoon that shows the choice between the devil on one shoulder and the angel on the other? It’s supposed to represent the idea of temptation. It gives the impression that the devil is the tempter, while the angel is the one we’re supposed to follow. What if the angel on your shoulder

This past spring, I began hearing whispers in my ear that kept saying, “It’s time.” These whispers have been getting louder and louder as the year has gone on. One might think me a bit crazy to be “hearing voices,” and yet, I knew exactly what those voices were from the start. For as long
Last week, I promised to share more thoughts on inner radiance. I invited you to remember that you are a bridge between spirit and matter, and reminded you that as you radiate outwardly, you remain strong and stable, able to navigate whatever life offers you.

A sigh of relief. Smiles for all. A deep sense of fulfillment and joy. This was the experience I had this past week as I drove out of the parking lot of my neighborhood market. As we had pulled in to pick up a few groceries, my youngest son Jackson said, “See Mom, he’s a

“Why does it seem so hard? When will things calm down? How much more can I take? I’m getting nothing done, yet doing so much. How can this be?” These are questions that have been coming up a lot recently in conversations I’ve been having with coachees and friends alike. I’ve heard stories of illness,
I wonder if you can relate to any of these feelings? You feel fragmented, isolated, and depleted. You long for deeper meaning, and know there’s got to be a better way. You feel despair over the state of the world and wonder if you can adequately make a difference. You particularly wonder how to effectively

As I write this 19th of July, 2016, our Sun has entered the constellation of Cancer, while the moon is full in the constellation of Capricorn. Cancer is streaming in the capacities for catharsis or purification, while Capricorn offers us courage. What a beautiful combination, given the deep work and courage required for purification.

We need a revolution! What does this exclamation bring up for you? Does it bring excitement? Fear? Irritability? Dismissal? I must confess that the word revolution often brought a sense of fear and judgement for me. On the one hand, I could think of revolution as being “war-like” and judge the idea for its violence

“The world is falling apart. By the time I’m old enough to take care of myself, there might not be anything left. The stupid people that hurt the earth, hurt other people, and even tell me what I’m supposed to do with my own body…they make me so angry I can’t stand it!” These were

Last week, I wrote about the importance of flexibility. Little did I know that this was only the beginning of a week that would require not only flexibility, but deep surrender.

I spent a few hours yesterday afternoon in the urgent care center with my sons, the eldest of which broke his wrist playing basketball at school. Here, in this final week of school, ready for summer to begin, this is not at all what we expected. His plan for the day was to join his classmates after
