How I ended up moving to Santa Fe is a question I have been asked numerous times and I have no hard and fast answer.
The truth is…I do not know.
Read MoreWhen the book, THE POWER OF NOW by ECKART TOLLE emerged I just had to get it. As I was already on my spiritual awakening path, I felt the message was going to set me up another notch on my journey.
Read MoreThis year has been so tough. I feel like I am coming to the end of a year long marathon running from one coast to the other, barefoot, and as I see the finish line in the distance it just keeps getting farther away like in a bad dream.
Read MoreWhen things change, it is an opportunity to understand the amount of control we have over them. Like in our recent election, there is nothing more we can do now to be in honor of our mind/body/soul but to accept the change and hopefully morph.
Read MoreGood day! Yes, I have had a few of them this past week! Gee, it’s been great being away from the computer except for a few minutes to go over my emails with a light touch.
I got to spend the weekend in Los Olivos at my friends’ new house which is on 20 acres all blending with the surrounding hills and valleys and old oak trees. And I am still smiling inside.
Read MoreThe other day I was looking down at my cell in order to take a picture and as I clicked ‘camera’ it was on selfie-mode. The words OMyG poured regrettably out of my mouth when I saw staring back at me my “No makeup-morning hair-bad reflective lighting on my face” moment. I couldn’t push the button fast enough to turn the picture around!
Read MoreOctober is breast cancer awareness month and although I recently wrote about my own journey, I want to share some more in detail.
So, as I said previously in 2000 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I know…scary. Whenever you hear news out of left field the fear knocks you on your ass!
20 years ago it was kind of at the beginning of the real focus on this nasty disease.
Read MoreToday I threw away a few things that I haven’t really wanted, needed, desired for a long time. They were all in wicker baskets on the top shelf of my pantry so out of sight, out of mind but I still knew they were there always taunting me to make my move.
As I stood at the pantry door looking up I felt that icky feeling that usually accompanies procrastination.
Read MoreIn the Bible God said to Solomon, “Because this was in your heart and you have not asked for riches, wealth or honor nor the life of you enemies, neither yet have asked long life but have asked wisdom and knowledge for yourself then you may judge my people over whom I have made you king.”
Read MoreWhat would have happened if Dorothy had crumpled under the spell of the wicked witch and actually surrendered to her?
Read MoreIn the 17th Century, the proverb “hear no evil, speak no evil and see no evil” was popularized as a pictorial Shinto maxim, carved in a famous Shinto shrine in Japan. The three wise monkeys illustrated the idea of protecting one’s self from unsavory or challenging behavior, thought or language.
I wonder why we don’t see more of these monkey images around today?
Read MoreAs long back as I can remember I never had a specific goal in mind as to what I wanted to “be” when I grew up. However, it didn’t stop me from constantly searching for something/anything that spoke to me. In other words I had no real passion that was gnawing to get out but there was still an itch to scratch.
Read MoreI'm a fixer.
My challenge has always been being that person who has leaned-in to help fix people even when they didn't ask for my help resulting in my advice falling on deft ears. I would then walk around in angst, sharing with everyone who would listen how that person wasn’t heeding to my BRILLIANT guidance!

If you are still watching the news waiting for them to say something different…
Read MoreThe weather here in Los Angeles could not be cooperating better allowing us who live to go on walks to hoof it any time of the day. Just like in the fable Goldilocks and The Three Bears when dealing with the idea of perfection I think at this time we are just looking for the ; “Not too hot, not too cold but just right”
Read MoreMy astrological sign is Cancer and we are homebodies. Our homes are our sanctuary and deliberately upsetting the apple cart is not high on our list. Yet and still I just knew when I listened deep inside and being aware of the signs that I keep getting from the Universe, I had no choice but to start dipping my toe into a new adventure.
Read MoreThe other day while having a conversation with a new client she was expressing a litany of reasons why she hadn’t pursued her passion. She is an exceptionally talented pottery maker and her work is stellar. And although everyone has tried to talk her into making this into a lucrative business she was consistently critical of even the tiniest of imperfections in her pieces.
Read MoreThe worlds energy is changing in a way that is bringing up more questions as to where we are going and who are we becoming, not just as a nation but as individuals. And our spirituality is showing up front and center and is finally being acknowledged not as the turban-wearing psychic with the crystal ball.
Read MoreCall it wishful thinking but I was expecting to hear her talk about how her patients were getting excited about opening up the isolation stages and what they were planning to do with this new world and time in our life. Instead what she shared with me was more about how many were feeling desperate…
Read MoreIt was pretty eerie for this 20-year-old who grew up in a predominately white neighborhood, attending a white school with only one Black student who was in the special education class, to be out of her element.
