Profound Self-Acceptance – Welcome to 2024!

I had an epiphany about my capacity to ‘be with what is’ recently. As you may recall from my October blog, Letting Go, Again, I am practicing surrender and equanimity. My narrative has been that to ‘succeed’ in living this way… I needed to NOT have big emotions, NOT have strong preferences, and NOT react. […]

Building Community: Co-Creating in the New Era

Today more than ever I am finding it necessary to intentionally be in community with positive mindful people. I cannot go through this radical shift into this emerging new era in isolation.

Empowering Courageous Conversations

I have found myself more often lately in conversations with clients, students, friends, and family who are in fear and feeling ‘controlled’ by popular (often false) narratives. I lean in. I listen more deeply. I ask challenging questions inviting them into a discussion that is based on critical thinking about facts/opinions and their own reflection. […]

Exploring Ego: How is it like my tongue?

I have encountered various points of view about the human ego, my least favorite is that it is ‘bad and wrong’. Some beliefs state the ego needs dissolving and needs to ‘die’ to be an ‘enlightened’ human being. After multiple conversations with clients about the optimal function and relationship of the ego in our multidimensional […]

Did you catch a glimpse or see pictures of the bright light appearing in the sky when Jupiter and Saturn aligned near December 21st? I have enjoyed star gazing my entire life.
