“Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.”–Dale Carnegie If there is a feeling I know intimately, it’s fear. As a child, I was afraid of the dark and slept with my closet light […]

Don’t You Want to Experience Summer Love?
I went to the library this week and was a bit surprised at the plethora of school aged children perusing books. Then I remembered that this is the first week of Summer Vacation for local school kids and they were joining in the Summer Reading Program. This year’s theme is: “Read, Explore, Create” and there […]

Granting Permission to Create a Life You Love
Though it’s been years since I’ve gone back to school (or prepped for a kiddo to go back to school), the Back to School tradition I grew up with remains rooted within me, and I still see September as a magical month full of growth and change. When I was young, Back to School was […]

From the time I was a little girl I felt the innate magical quality of solstices and equinoxes. In my mind, the mythical Mother Nature turned a special dial to officially change the season. I still feel that magical pull on those days. As I’ve aged, I’ve learned that my childhood view of magic has […]
Ditching Drama as a Lifestyle Choice
Do you know those people? The folks who seem like something is always happening to them? Flat tires, broken hearts, ecstatic love affairs (that then crash and burn into tragic moments)? It’s an endless parade of always being busy, always running out the door, always having things be better (or worse) than they are for […]
When Fear Triggers Your Response
Each of us has an instinctive reaction to perceived danger. Physiologists call this the flight-fight-or-freeze response. When we are in a situation that feels like a threat to our safety, security or life, the primal part of our brains (amygdala aka “lizard brain”) kicks in and triggers our hormones and body into the appropriate response.

5 Steps to Hopping Off the Merry-Go-Round
Since I know that confession is (often) good for the soul, here goes: I haven’t been writing much lately. Yes, I’m still writing a weekly piece for this space. Yes, I’m still sending a weekly love note to those on my list. But I’ve been telling myself I don’t have time to really dive into […]
