Parting words from one of my wisest friends as I left for Bali, "open your heart, lead with it, be in your heart, this is what you need". I've been "in my head" so long, I could hardly contemplate what it means to open my heart. I'm kind, isn't that enough? I mean, I try… Continue reading Cracking wide open
We have been in Bali 6 nights. And these are the things I'm grateful for: My kids are sleeping through the night for the first time in their lives. (and my daughter is 8). They are sleeping straight thru. This has never happened to us. Ever. We have befriended 3 local families. Their love… Continue reading Grateful, in Bali
Friends! This is amazing. I have finally finally had time to properly place my nose in the most amaze-balls book and it's blowing my mind. So of course, I'm ready to share! I've been looking forward to its release for months, and then life happened and it's been sitting on my Kindle waiting for my… Continue reading Healing without hurting
I use Facebook much differently than many people. The cool thing about FB is that it is smart and figures out what you look at, and brings more of that. I used to pay attention to the drama of people I knew decades ago, or the endless pictures of kids (which I still do) but… Continue reading 5 items to add to your Facebook Feed
We haven't had cable TV in about a year. It just was an excessive expense with the accident, and the chaos so we cut cable and occasionally rent a redbox or find a movie or documentary at the library. Which means, we don't watch the news. Yes, that's right folks. WE DO NOT WATCH THE… Continue reading The art of creating fear
aH homeschooling. Wowzers. Talk about brining your "A" game every day. Being your best, your brightest, your most tuned in. Let's face it, in the corporate world there are days you can skate (particularly higher up the ladder). If you're not feeling well, or hungover, or fighting some personal demon you can close your door… Continue reading Yoga and Superheroes
One year ago today, I was in a car accident. For the last 365 days my husband has tirelessly supported us in so many ways. He has physically held me up during the never ending dizzy spells, held my hand during a hundred appointments, and paced waiting rooms during a dozen procedures. He managed all… Continue reading Perspective and Gratitude, a year later…
Confession - I'm not always all bright and shiny. SHOCKER I know. I try to only post positive, but there is a reality that exists. You know, real life? I love Brene Brown. Do you know Brene Brown? The Queen of Vulnerability. She does this amazing TED talk on the Power of Vulnerability... have you seen… Continue reading Vulnerability, Perspective, and Metta
Today, has been a particularly hard day. I don't think we've had more than 4 hours of sleep a night since the Super Moon started messing with us. Our kids are so sensitive to the moon. Any big moon is sure to send us out of control for a day or two, but this one… Continue reading Falling in Love with Abundance
Sooooooo, I'm nearly at the 11 month mark since the car accident. 11 months. I've spent the 36th year of my life on bedrest, and in hospitals, and in indescribable pain. Wow, what a journey. I've learned some valuable lessons, OK that's the understatement of the century. Each day is hard. It's hard to wake… Continue reading Be the light, find the magic
