“Our sorrows and wounds are healed only when we touch them with compassion. – Buddha Last week, on a day when southern California experienced a rare, heavy winter rainfall, a dear friend and colleague and I were scheduled to gather to collaborate on our co-creations for the new year when she came across a beautiful butterfly in her path that was […]
As I have written about in the past, I am not a big fan of making resolutions for the New Year. I find that such resolutions often bring with them failure, self-judgment and self-criticism, and ultimately shame when I might step away from such rigid demands on myself. Sounds more like a recipe for depression […]
“Grief never ends . . . but it changes. It’s a passage, not a place to stay. Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith . . .It is the price of love.” – Elizabeth I With the holiday season upon us, many of us might not be feeling the joy of […]
I think many people might agree with me when I say that the best holiday gift we could receive would be a way to slow down time and the aging process. Well, what if I were to tell you that researchers may have identified a way to slow down one of these – would you […]

These types of thoughts tend to encourage us to […]
I remember my first exposure to essential oils through my yoga teacher training and was fascinated by the claims made that certain aromatic scents had differing impacts on the mind and body. Now, I’m not the type of person that believes everything I hear, so I figured I would try it out for myself. What […]
“The trees are about to show us how lovely it is to let the dead things go.” — Anonymous My sense is that Mother Earth is trying to get our attention. With the floods in South Asia, earthquake in Mexico, and Hurricane Harvey and Irma, she is shouting at the top of her lungs! And I, […]
Why is it that we can be surrounded by people – even our friends and family – and yet still feel alone? Research has suggested that loneliness is more common than we might think, with 80% of children and 40% of seniors experiencing it. Loneliness results when we believe if we reveal our true self […]
