    Two of my clients this week experienced the same struggle. That dreadful feeling when you feel depleted or longing to do something for yourself and someone you care about calls or texts with, “Do you have time to talk?” What you really want to say is, “No. I just don’t.” But what you say instead […]

    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 […]

    Slowing Down to Get More Done

    Like the rabbit in the Tortoise and the Hare, our minds are always going full boar, racing ahead toward the finish line to get more done. We feel almost a sinister pleasure as we pass that car, fit in one more errand, or write one last email – as if we beat the opponent of […]

      Recently a friend and I were talking about family and the drama that often accompanies the holidays. “I’m getting better at detaching,” she said, “but it’s hard not to feel responsible with family.” It’s true. Owning Our Feelings So much we want our loved ones and ourselves to feel happy during the holidays (and […]

    This week was a difficult one. I had packed it a bit too full, to be sure, but grew excited from chance happenings, possible opportunities, and serendipitous connections. One thing seemed to be flowing into another. I was on a roll! And then I wasn’t. “What’s going on?” I wailed. “Why does it seem just […]

    Isn’t it wonderful to have an inspired idea? You get all charged and excited about what it would be like for such and such to happen. Of course, the very next thought is, “How can I make this happen?” You have plans, I have plans. It’s what we do. We set goals and take action […]

    “When you are experiencing something that doesn’t feel good or lessens your energy, it is a sign from your Higher Self that you are out of alignment with your Spirit and the love inside of you. And when you notice yourself lighting up or feeling expansive or empowered, that is a sign you are in […]

        Honestly, I know fried things aren’t all that great for you, but a recent sandwich I had at Melody’s Coastal Café in Richmond Hill, GA will live out in my memories as one of the most amazing meals I’ve ever had with its soft New Orleans roll wrapped around flaky nuggets of cod. […]

My current book, even, Peace, Power and Miracles: Eliminating Overwhelm and Increasing Happiness, is just such a book. And truly, we want to know. We want to wear smiles on our faces and feel […]

    During this holiday season, we often feel excitement for the gifts we give. We wrap up something special and anxiously drop it into curious hands, awaiting the others delight. This type of giving is wonderful, but it is only a glimmer of the real giving of which you are capable. The real “gift” you can […]
