So NOW What Do We Do?
I want to write something amazing, healing and thoughtful. I want my words to make you feel better about everything. I want to use magical phrases that will make your mind rest, stop your thoughts from spinning and dispel your fear and anxious feelings of uncertainty. But I don’t know which words I could use to accomplish that. We are at an anxiety level that many of us have never felt before. Our brains are on high alert all of the time. What the hell do we do with all the f

Once Upon a Time
Once upon a time, in a kingdom not far from here, there lived an amazing woman. She had a fulfilling career, a supportive partner, and a loving family. Her windows sparkled with cleanliness in the sunlight and her outfits were always impeccable. She was friendly with everyone she met and was always patient with her children. It was rumored throughout the kingdom that she exercised every single day, and…this always amazed the listeners….she only ate healthy foods! She had time

Your Life, Your Choices
Stress. We feel it, we know what it is, but we often act like there “ain’t nothin’ we can do about it.” Years ago, I gave many talks and led retreats about how to reduce stress. I taught people how to breathe to become calm and present in the moment, and how to recognize what they could change and what they couldn’t change in their lives. I gave them action steps and coached the people who really wanted to make changes. I wrote books and articles. I still do. But some people

Forgiveness: That Weight Is Much Too Heavy
Forgiveness: My mantra for 2018. It’s time for me to forgive. I need to forgive other people and myself. I am going to move forward with this in the new year and free myself from carrying around all this heavy, heavy shit. I stopped eating all sweets in December. (I still cannot believe I made it through the holidays without eating cookies or candy! This has NEVER happened before.) I lost weight which is what I hoped would happen, but as I got lighter and felt I could move mo

Focus on Kindness and Understanding
Reading ahead in my book, I spotted this message. I thought about how important it is right now, today, in our world, to do this. Understanding has to start somewhere, and why not with each of us? We have seen the effects of hate. Let’s try love. December 11th Focus on Kindness and Understanding Many people are worried and distracted. You may be, too.

Song Lyrics Touch Our Hearts and Souls
There are certain song lyrics that just please the hell out of me. Listening to music I will often think now that is a great line! Wow! Song lyrics can make us smile or make our hearts ache. The power may be in the writing and the clever combination of the words or it may be that a singer touches our hearts with her voice. Often the song lyrics just hit home with what we have experienced in the past or are experiencing in our lives now. There are certain songs that take me ri
