Good Morning, Moon
I took a picture of the moon just before 6:30a. Not a single sip of coffee yet; barely awake, but awake enough. The image said so much about healing. A nature-inspired reminder. The quietness of a heart, mind, and soul, able to see, listen and hear. Wisdom being revealed as I looked out my window. Walking…
The Promise of Spring
Ask me my favorite season, my answer will always be autumn. The crisp air allows me to be outside without needing to be fully covered head to toe in order to stay warm and cozy or not nearly as covered head to toe so that I may stay cool and comfortable. The amazing aromas of…

New months can oftentimes trigger emotions or even quickly change our thinking as they remind us of what lies ahead in the next 30 or 31 days. Those little squares with numbers, inside a bigger square and sometimes decorated very creatively, can have a lot of power. August for many, is the back to school…
Kitchen Kindness
Breakfast. I am not a morning person, and the kitchen is not my favorite room in the house, but when I plate a meal I’ve made for my family, there is a sense of love and gratitude that comes over me. Love. My heart becomes attached to what I’m doing, to what I’m making, to…
5 Ways to Treat You Well
First, let’s take a deep breath…or two or ten. Giving permission to ourselves to take time for ourselves is one of the hardest things we do. I want to also add, having more time on our hands doesn’t make it any easier to take time for ourselves. Most of us fill extra time with doing…
