The Place Between Retreat and Real Life

Life doesn’t often move in neat, predictable chapters. Sometimes it feels more like stepping from one season into another without much warning — caregiver, speaker, leader, daughter, teacher — all within a matter of days. I actually love my life this way. It’s an adventure. And sometimes it’s exhausting if I haven’t filled my cup. […]

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 […]

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 […]

My Silent Retreat Experience

Meditation is the Way On the way up to the retreat center 2 weeks ago, I turned off my radio for the last half hour of the journey. I felt jumpy. All the noises of the car and the outside world that I don’t normally hear were jarring and strange. Maybe it was my nerves too. I […]

Be the silence

Embark on an Inner Journey I took a leap of faith in myself. I decided to take a spot in a Silent Retreat for a week. I’m leaving mid-afternoon today, heading up to the Insight Meditation Society Retreat Center in Barre, MA. There will be no talking. No cell phones. No books or reading. No writing or […]

Never give up

Managing stress in challenging times “Wisdom is understanding that you don’t have to hold your happiness for ransom until some future time when all your problems are solved. When your “to-do list” is finally empty. When your desires are fulfilled and your health is perfect. When all the news is good. Whatever your goals in […]

Honesty with self and others

Let’s uncover the truth A very large, dead branch fell from a tree a few weeks back and crashed down onto the front side panel of my car. It created dents in several places and cracked my windshield. I called in an insurance claim and brought it to an auto body place near me. I […]

How to develop a habit

Are your habits building you up or cutting you down? I remember when I first engaged in the idea of giving up my very destructive habit of drinking. I was frantically scared but it was affecting me badly. I was sick all the time and I couldn’t cope with life without it yet I […]
