No action or story is an island.......nobody's.......and the lives we live are impacting all of the lives around us every day......whether we want them to be or not, or maybe think they are or not.....and it is all starting to make such sense to me, and clarity is arriving at a deeper level for me about so much.....I had my daughter when I was 40......and right before she turned 5 her dad left, and the first two years of her life were lovely.....her dad and I adored her from

I remember writing about this awhile back, and today finds me feeling a shift about it all......but still marveling......we make our way in this life, and travel with people that resonate in our story, and then we travel with them for exactly as long as is needed to get to the next point......and sometimes people stay in our peripheral forever:) I love when that happens.....I have friends..... still........ that have remained for decades of my life.....and they are treasures.

I am hoping today's blog reaches somebody that needs to hear it.....so aging is a part of life, no doubt.....but FEELING old......that is optional......the way we feel in our body reflects the decisions we make.....and I can only write this blog because I have lived in both places.....during middle age......at the end of my marriage, I felt so beaten down that the aging process was accelerating.....and I was stepping fully into the "old lady" suit.....thinking this is what it

I have been a deep dive lately into really thinking on my journey, and where I am right now.....and just feeling absolutely blown away by all of the pieces that fell into the last almost 50 years, that led me right here.......particularly the last 5 or so......like so many subtle and not subtle shifts, that carried this new story into existence for me.....my ex leaving on that fateful night in early January of 2021, and the word fateful just hit a little different this mornin

Yesterday was such an exciting day.......The equinox.......Creating balance.......literally in our natural world, and in my case it touched down in a part of my own story that allowed for the final pieces to fall into place for my workshops! Creating balance between my teacher and coach self.........Feeling as if the powers that be have rolled out the red carpet for me, and FEELING so completely, the divinity and alignment, and movement as I made the intuitive moves I was gi

My 50th birthday is coming in hot........I have mentioned that I will be 50 in May.....and I wasn't sure how I wanted to celebrate........my parents asking me if I wanted a party.....not sure if a surprise would be something I wanted......and we batted some ideas around and options.....one of them being at a place in our area, and having it be expensive per head etc......and it is a good amount of people.....and that just seemed, like a waste.....and totally not like me......

I sometimes share my "woo woo" side in this blog lol:) I have written many times about my spirituality breaking open.......vast and wide in this chapter.....so clearly meant to be part of the tale of my life.....traditional love of God and Jesus being such a part of that......but so much more has shown up......and has felt just as divinely placed.......leaving a knowing within me that there is SO much we do not know......and that the Universe is a vast and magical place......

I was a cheerleader in high school......and in a league when I was younger, and it hit me the other day that the irony of that is not lost on me......it was sort of one of those realizations that evokes a little smirk, my realizing that cheering for others in some way or another, has been a thing all of my life.....literally in all of its forms.....and I loved cheerleading then and now.....but I have realized too, along that same understanding, that the people we expect to su

We do a WIN period in school......and it stands for "What I Need".....and yesterday I had to leave work a half a day......was having some stomach issues, had them in the morning but had tried to go to work.....and I woke up this morning still not feeling well enough to go to work.....and I had to call off....and if you are a teacher you can relate to how challenging that is....so many moving pieces.....and I struggle with it.....I very rarely take a day for me.....they normal

I had a spiritual experience yesterday....actually this entire weekend has been spiritually charged if you will;-) Saturday I was in full creation mode.....and then I took my kids to church yesterday.....with the realization that in the content I had created, the idea of light is a theme in so much of it.......a predominant theme in the components......and in church yesterday light was mentioned at least 20 times......feeling very much like a sign to me, and then my hymn play

I had written awhile back about getting a lightning bolt, and in my opinion a divinely placed moment, this last betrayal showing me another level of empowerment, and self respect.....and through some events, it occurred to me to ponder what would happen IF young girls could step into their power BEFORE they gave it away......preventing young girls, which is my goal for my own daughter too:), from having to walk in the paths that their mothers have......couple all of that with

Since I began this journey I have created some analogies to attempt to explain the senseless things I have encountered, and make better sense of them, to the best of my ability.......and one of them that makes sense so completely to me, is that I have placed all the grief I have accumulated in this life, inside of a "whale" that lives within me......and the whale swims peacefully within me most of the time......coexisting with me, and holding all that pain and grief for me, s

So I think as we get older, getting to do things that are our "firsts" is kind of a fun thing......maybe becoming more important than ever, and experiencing the world in a new way......and we all get into our comfort zones in our older age, and being intentional about trying new things, or having new experiences is everything I think:) And I have long loved getting a massage.....a simple but yet such a profound pleasure......and my Taurus is drawn to beautiful things, luxurio

This came up three times in the last couple of days, and it seemed like something to take notice of......I had some conversations about the end of relationships in people's lives.....through talking to a client and some friends......and I am learning that MOST relationships are finite......having an expiration date......even though when we are in it, it doesn't seem that way......and if you are open and honest, and inclined to do so, you share with your friends, and your peop

There is an epidemic of people hurting other people, lying, deceiving, betraying and then painting the person they did all that to, as their "crazy" ex.......and I see it so often in the lives that I walk in......and in the women I coach, and I have seen and felt it in my own life.....being villainized in the aftermath of the heinous stuff that happened to me......and for me it holds no bearing, or weight, not anymore.....when people do things that are really horrid, they are

I had written about the fact that I REALLY wanted to head out west for my big birthday this year.....this summer with my kiddos.......but it is a big thing to pull off, and I am not totally certain it will work this year, and may be better suited for spring break next year.......but having said that I am still remaining open to the way appearing:) However I may get out west anyway this summer, or more than once! ;-)Having it come calling again......my friend, one I have had f

My 50th birthday will be here soon:).......the beginning of May.....and I often marvel at what that birthday would have FELT like had my life continued the way it had been going......I was aging at a rapid rate, and feeling every bit of it......EVERY bit of it......and the aging process is a curious one.....it continues on for sure;-) but there is SO much we can do to change the experience of it.....truly.....and this morning that feels powerful......and I most definitely shu

Today is International Women's Day today.....and it is hitting a little harder today as I think of so much.....Gosh the world is spinning in all that can happen if you are female, horrifying doesn't even begin to touch it.....and the challenges are endless....exploitation and beyond.......but beyond all of that, and there is so much.......this chapter, more than any of the other chapters, has shown me the power that lies in women......just the fierce and massive power.......t

I have been even more keenly aware of perspective lately.....and it feels at times that it is a double edged dance between thinking we can say something that shifts a perspective, or just letting it be......and maybe I am even more aware of that because I am in the business, quite literally, of working to do that often, either through teaching or coaching......that is my job......to impart understanding either in a literal sense, or in a personal development sense.....and our

The walk I have been walking has absolutely been a walk of faith......among the rest.......but faith being the cornerstone of it all.....the thing I turn to often to endure......and sometimes I marvel these days at the strength that is found in that faith......rarely wavering......a muscle I have worked tirelessly these last 5 years, finding myself often just LEANING IN.......when a challenge arrives I just lean into the things I cannot see, KNOWING that they are RIGHT there.
