We tend to be creatures of habit, and no where does that show up more than in our thinking. Waking up to a rainy Tuesday wasn’t bad after a previous late night. With coffee and meditation, I felt energized enough to hit the elliptical and shower, and even inspired to do some afternoon […]
Don’t you love the words, “let go”? They bring to mind that old commercial in the 80’s of the Nestle Tea plunge, where the guy falls backward into a pool of water with eyes closed and a big grin on his face. Totally trusting, totally carefree. And isn’t it interesting that we could all live […]
When I first had the inspiration to start a tutoring business, and later, a spiritual coaching business, I had no idea where to begin. As I learned more, I became overwhelmed by all the hoops I’d need to jump through in order to make this thing happen. After which, I’d run for the nearest […]
It was one of the most difficult times in my life, relocating to South Carolina, feeling estranged from my husband, and working 14-hour days in a new school. Every day was a practice in faith. Small gifts of unexpected joy came from a cup of coffee, laughter with my students, and having a Unity […]

Who doesn’t love to be in love? When we are in love, we feel special, appreciated, and invincible. These feelings can last a few weeks, a few months, or even a year. Usually, not much more beyond that because at some point, your partner is going to trigger the places in you where […]
Her mind had been ruminating over some big questions lately, regarding a new home and career. The future loomed large, but instead of researching answers, she found herself spending a few hours googling beach retreats. Guilt ridden, she said, “Maybe I’m just trying to run away from my problems and my family. Everyone is getting […]
It doesn’t take much. I have my plans for the day, and then something unexpected comes up and all my little “plans” go out the window. This used to throw me into a tailspin, depending on how big the change. And nothing hit harder than when it came to my pocketbook. A client would cancel […]
