Happy New Year!

As 2025 comes to a close, this quiet space between “what was” and “what’s next” invites reflection. Not the harsh kind. The honest kind. The kind that asks: What am I still carrying that no longer serves me? Letting go doesn’t mean forgetting, denying, or dismissing what mattered. It means loosening your grip on what weighs […]

Sometimes the Gravy Just Shatters

Managing Expectations: A Holiday Survival Skill Many years ago, it may have been my very first holiday after being married, I was preparing a meal and was determined to get everything right. You see Paul’s parents were coming over for dinner, (a rare occasion), and I wanted to really wanted to impress them. I had roasted […]

When someone doesn’t share my perspective

Perspective Is Everything—Especially During the Holidays This week, as we’ve been choosing paint colors and design features for our new rec room, I’ve been reminded again just how different our perspectives can be. What feels like a warm blue to me looks cold and unappealing to Paul. How can I get him to see it the way […]

Self-Care in the Middle of the Mess

Riding the Rollercoaster of Transformation This time of year always seems to bring transitions, but this season feels especially full. Downstairs, our basement is being renovated. Yup. Men are coming in and out, machines whirring, bangs echoing up the stairs. The cats are definitely irritated. Well, at least Jack is. Maeve is either playing or […]

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving, Friends! Life is so short, isn’t it? This week I attended my Uncle John’s funeral—87 years of a life well-lived. It was both a sad goodbye and a beautiful celebration. He leaves behind 10 grandchildren, 2 great-grandchildren, and my Aunt Beth, three wonderful daughters—my cousins—along with a whole constellation of nieces and nephews […]

The wisdom beneath your thoughts

Take time to be quiet. Hypnotherapy class has already taught me so much. I’m halfway through the course and have about 20 hours of practice time under my belt. We need to have 14 for the entire course and I’ve already surpassed that because I love it so much. I’ve been practicing on fellow students […]

Do you find it hard to trust?

Do you trust easily or is it hard for you? I don’t know about you but I get so angry at all the scams constantly bombarding us these days, but I’ve gotten pretty good at spotting them and intuitively knowing who I cannot trust. Now, scams are one thing, yet trusting people in your life […]

Facing Fear — The Real Kind This past weekend, I took 2 of my grandchildren, Nightingale and Adalie, to my mom’s senior community at Elim Park for a costume parade and trick-or-treating. We had a lot of fun. The halls were filled with the residents’ great-grandchildren and the staff’s kids, in costume with their candy […]

Choosing balance not perfection

Finding Balance in the Busy Season Fall is in full swing, and wow — has it been a whirlwind. Between the trainings I’m preparing and delivering (five classes in the next four weeks!), the hypnotherapy course I’m taking, and the home projects piling up — new windows, bathroom and kitchen renovations, and estimates for finishing […]
