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 […]
The difficult times we’ve lived through are not there to represent how hard life can be, but to show us the truth of our strength and our ability to know, “I’ll be okay.” Memories still surface of my own two by four experience on this path 14 years ago. My marriage was falling apart and […]
I’d often thought, why couldn’t I have been satisfied with being a third-grade teacher? Why did I have to go upsetting the apple cart and venture down this road of entrepreneurship as a coach and healer? Life would have been a lot easier had I just stayed in Pennsylvania. But would it? When I […]

It makes us squirm and worry over what we’re not doing or should be doing or are doing wrong. Oh, […]
Back in 2005, I was teaching my first year at low income school in South Carolina. Every day felt like one more step into my own prison. I had loved teaching in Pennsylvania for the last 12 years, but here, there was too much stress, too much demand, and too little time. I was […]
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 […]
