  • Look Up: Celebrating Clouds

    Look Up: Celebrating Clouds

    Coffee in hand, cool California air, looking up, watching the sunrise, noticing the artful way the sky shifts and shapes each cloud… a special way to start my morning.  Watching the sky transform, I find myself thinking back to moments in my own life, and special moments from my youth- watching the clouds move across…

  • Honoring My Journey

    Honoring My Journey

    Sleep eludes me in these early morning hours, as my mind traces over the past two years, lessons learned, lives that I have been blessed to have been a part of, and the place by the sea that I have spent so much of my time and energy the past several years. Today marks my…

  • Play: Why You Need It

    Play: Why You Need It

    Have you ever watched a child play? Mesmerized by their toys or imaginary world, they have a focused, creative, fully involved almost peaceful way they move about.  They don’t even hear you when you call them for dinner…they are so fully involved in joy and imagination.   When was the last time you were fully…

    Deep Listening

    While I was driving down the Pacific Coast Highway on my way to work today, I was listening to an interview on my favorite Podcast show- On Being, and it dawned on me that there seemed to be this really special pause between when the interviewer spoke and the interviewee responded.   It felt like the…

    Just Notice

    Have you ever struggled from overwhelming worry, thinking about something over and over and over again, like it was almost driving you crazy (or who knows maybe it was!). I know I’ve been there. Today was an exceptionally bad “in my head” type of day. I felt like my head is literally going to explode.…

  • The Power of Healing Touch

    The Power of Healing Touch

    I am excited to share with you a powerful healing modality called Healing Touch (HT).  Healing Touch is a heart centered approach to support your own body’s natural ability to heal.  Just like Rapid Resolution Therapy’s belief that the mind has it’s own ability to heal itself, HT works much in the same theory: that…

  • What’s Your Apology Language?

    What’s Your Apology Language?

    Have you ever thought of apologizing as a spiritual practice? I do. Apologizing is an innately spiritual practice it frees you and lifts a weight off your shoulders.  Apologizing also shows caring and love for another person. If you are in Recovery, making amends is a part of the spiritual process created to make space…

  • Sympathy vs. Empathy

    Sympathy vs. Empathy

    Today in my Inner Peace group we talked about vulnerability, which ultimately led us to a discussion about sympathy versus empathy. Everyone literally cringed at the mention of the word sympathy.  We shared how we felt when people had a sympathetic response to our life’s challenges and stories.  How it made us feel terrible when…
