When I was pregnant, I was told the very fact that I cared so much about what kind of parent I’d become meant that I’d be a good parent. What takes a potential good parent and steers them to the wrong side of the road? Their own lack of self-compassion and emotional intelligence or awareness….
As I am fast approaching another birthday, I want to stand and acknowledge how this year of being 57 and honoring myself has changed me. This year had me taking back my power with a sense of entitlement and ferociousness my younger self may recognize but has forgotten. I was busily building back the self-love…
Back from our first summer vacation and happily can say that I felt vacated a few times while away. Car travel is somewhat exhausting. Our three kitties were very needy upon our return. Felt very relieved that we’d finally gotten a good rain while away but alas, there were some dead plants. Recent disappointments feel…
The heat of the semi-South has descended upon us. Having to catch up with everything means fits and spurts of everything and that’s just how I can handle the outdoors. Out then in. Out then in. I think that’s how I handle life too. I talk myself into hopes and dreams. I go get it…

I have a staunch belief that when you show up as your Authentic Self, the Universe takes care of the rest. You need to intentionally head for your best care and the people, places, and things that make you the happiest. But it seems that we can easily fall under the spell of disbelief in…
I was into my 50’s before I finally acknowledged that I was highly anxious. My hormonal shifts were messing with my brain chemistry making it worse. Every day was harder to get through without seeing problems I had to solve everywhere. I was solid for a while until weight gain had me switching meds and…
Yesterday, I made some efforts and worked on my work and ended the day on a proud note. Easily written but know how this action has been hung up in my head, and in my life, by the inaction resulting from saying the very same thing to myself over and over and over again. You…
I was walking through the house doing some catch up chores like spot cleaning rugs and cleaning cupboard doors and suddenly I blurted out, “I want my life back”. Because for the last almost two months, my time and efforts have been usurped by the chaos of my mother’s crumbling life. I tried in vain…
