Thich Nhat Hanh, the Vietnamese Zen Buddhist spiritual leader, has been quoted as saying, “No mud, no lotus.” Given all this “mud”, I am expecting a lot of lotuses! This video shares three tips that… Read More
HOPE is trusting that tomorrow can be better. Hope is believing that this too shall pass! But first we got to get clear on a couple of things. What do we want to change and why? (INTENTION) What circumstances allow IT to persist as it is now? (ATTENTION) What can we do to create that… Read More
As Spring starts to peek out of the earth in the form of green shoots of crocus and daffodil, new leaves bud on deciduous trees and dandelions pop out of nowhere, optimism is renewed by the familiar cycle of change! Mars, the god of war, is the name sake of March. At one time, March… Read More
I LOVE what I do. OK, I don’t love “everything” I do, but knowing that everything I do allows me to do what I love makes it ALL worth while! Today, however I am going to do a little less of what I do and practice a little more of just being… I was blessed… Read More

As is typical in January, it takes a few weeks to settle into the New Year. I notice it most when I write the date… I wrote a few checks this week, which in itself is atypical in this electronic age, right!?! Are you noticing shifts? I love to “catch” signs of change and shift,… Read More
I like simplicity. I like balance. I like truth. The mantra, “Breathe. Move. Rest.” provides a simple, balanced attempt to organize life around and within truth. It’s a mantra that helps cultivate balance in my daily life. However, life has taught me that preferring these conditions is not enough to make them reality. In fact,… Read More
Happy New Year!!! Are you a resolution setter? A Vision Board builder? A dreamer, a planner, or a fly-by-the seat-of-your-pants-er?
