I’d love to write one of my real-life stories here that unravel into a deeper meaning, tying in with the personal growth workshops and life coaching I do. You know . . . the comical or rocky stories from my life embedded with deeper learning that I hope is relatable to my readers. …
This morning I woke to a beautiful start, which is rare for an early anything with me because, in the mornings, I prefer silence and coffee. For some reason, still in bed, my little black and white cat attacking my toes with all the might in her paws and savagery of her teeth, I…
This past Monday, after the sun dipped behind the horizon and night began to fall, I celebrated the New Moon. Each month, I set aside an hour or two for personal reflection and take time to be present with my intentions for the coming weeks. This time, I invited a few of my more…
Transition – I talk about this a lot and I wish there was a sexier word for it. Shift. Uncovering. Revealing. Passage. In flux. Magic. Renewal. A dizzying spin – this is what transition really means.

I haven’t spoken enough about the chocolate. Anyone following my Instagram or who has read past blogs will recognize my affinity for the full moon and new moon rituals. I treat these celestial time markers as an opportunity to check in with my own personal goals. Am I doing life right? Are all…
Last Thursday marked the 3rd anniversary of my stepfather’s unexpected passing. Leading up to the day, I knew I’d be drinking whiskey. It’s one of the ways I used to spend time with him if mom had gone to bed early, but the fire pit was still aflame, the whiskey was still flowing, and…
This invitation is for all of you: You adventure-seekers, wanderers, soul journeyers, explorers, and holiday-makers out there. The pandemic left us with an emotional void that we all know travel can fill. What can travel give us that we now need more than ever? To feel good. To feel free. To feel replenished. To…
