A woman fully in the strength of her being is beauty incarnate. She dances with grace. She smiles easily and playfully. She moves in quiet, intentional movement, freely. She acknowledges her challenges and lives with heart. Her life exists in peace, in vulnerability, and in balance. She learns, grows and expands within the amazing infinity …
Learning of my own arrogance is a painful experience. Allowing myself the opportunity to shift and grow from the experience is both terrifying and electrifying. I’m not even sure of where to start to share this journey because the seeds have long since been planted and bloomed. Kind of like a gardener trying to get …
Have you ever had a profound moment of clarity squeeze through in just one heart beat? The kind of instant awareness in which something gnawing at you breaks free and springs into your consciousness without warning?

As you may know, I have been going through divorce over the last year. A disconcerting process which bounces between deeply painful, wonderfully illuminating, and nearly unintelligible. Bounce is the operative word, like a ball thrown back and forth where sometimes you are the one bouncing the ball and sometimes you are the ball. I …
I can be one of those folks who, with awesome intention, makes New Year resolutions which fall by the wayside by January 20th or so. Then I spend some time beating up on myself for failure and a lack of self-discipline. I want this new year to be different. With this desire in mind, a …

There is this raw place within, In need of cauterizing to staunch the flow. A flow of pain, of words which fall flat in the emptiness created by the betrayal of trust’s fidelity. A betrayal which eagerly pushes at a claim of responsibility misplaced: What within brought this on? Simply the luck of the draw? …
Life in all its messy glory keeps presenting itself to me. I keep thinking that at some point everything that’s been furiously bubbling in my life will simmer down and thicken with deep, mind-blowing meaning. And maybe it will at some point. And then I can write some erudite treatise on the meaning of life. …
Hindsight may be 20-20 but sixty-eight days into a new life, I stop to think of words from the past.
Perfectionism is often the opposite of vulnerability. Why do I say this? Let me be blunt: I have often been accused of being a perfectionist. Notice that this is an accusation, rather than a compliment, pointing towards the general feeling that perfectionism is not an attribute that one should strive for. Often portrayed as relentlessly …
We all have stories we tell ourselves. We have an experience and we try to make sense of it.

Here’s something about me you might not know: I am protective of my people. By my people, I mean those I am connected to including my family, my friends, my clients — in short, people like you. And when one of my people is threatened, I get a little crazy. It’s this crazy that I have been dealing with the last couple of weeks.
