About Last Night…
About last night… Provocative, right? That was the subject line of a recent email I sent… to a client… the morning after a session. No sex organs were involved in our work, which centered around love, spirituality AND sexuality. In my decades working in the corporate world, and even in my 5 years as a…
Safe and Sound
“Security is mostly a superstition. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.” Helen Keller This is one of my favorite quotes of all time. As soon as I heard it, I knew that this would be exactly how I want to…
Teachers in All Forms
The mother, yelling at her children, is my teacher. The couple, out to dinner, who hardly look at each other, are my teachers. My ex-husband, in unexpected acts of kindness, is my teacher. My daughter, mirroring my impatience and laziness, is my teacher. The traffic jam, on a day I’ve tried to fit in too…
Desire
Desire: a sense of longing for a person or object or hoping for an outcome I met one of my heroes recently. Surrounded by thousands of people, Danielle LaPorte and I held hands, locked eyes and shared a moment. She is all about desire these days, and for the recent past. She wrote a…

In the early morning, I sit on my heart-shaped stool, outside my front door, and admire the beautiful trees and bushes around my new home.

Moving On Up…
I moved. Did you hear? I’ve been whining about it on any platform I had access to. For as long as I can remember, moving has been a source of irrational stress and anxiety for me. I know, it’s on the list of the top 10 traumas, but I always thought it couldn’t quite compare…

Traveling and Living
I love to travel. When I was younger, it was about escaping my life. Trading in the mundane for the adventurous, the drab for the beautiful, the ordinary for the exciting. For the past several years, travel has been my life. Which means I don’t get to leave anything behind, I just get to add…
Information, Inspiration and the Power of Stories
When I began my career as a holistic health counselor, over 8 years ago, it was all about answers. It was about knowing everything I possibly could about individualized nutrition, behavioral science and general wellness. The same thing applied in my world of being a yoga teacher – I became a voracious student of alignment,…
