Wide Open Heart Project

One thing we can count on is time passing.

I write this as I sit overlooking eastern Nevada, ready to land in Las Vegas. 7:00 am will turn into 3:00 pm which leads to 9 pm and again, and again. This is the complex yet simple understanding of an hourglass. The sand always falls. Then begins again.

As with the passage of time, we live through passing moments of the heart. Almost unaware, sitting unaffected until it’s activated by a spark or ignition switch of feelings or triggers. Flipped on by someone or something. The inner workings a mystery to me, still.

A few questions come to mind…
🫶🏼How much time has passed since your last heart activation?
🫶🏼Was it a joyful event or a sad interaction?
🫶🏼Was it silence?
🫶🏼A separation?
🫶🏼Could it have been a memory?
🫶🏼Was it a date on the calendar marking a celebration or something entirely different?

If we are tuned in enough to our own bodies, we can feel the rise of our heart’s vibration. We can also feel it when the heart stops and redirects itself. It might be protecting itself or it could be reacting instinctively to a certain frequency. I know (unfortunately all too well) that I can feel other people’s feelings and energies. I’ve worked on how to manage these “vibrations” as I’ve moved through my own timeline. I can now use tools that I have learned through my energy practice that enable me to move through and transmute the energies of others more quickly. I now recognize what is mine and what is “theirs.” It’s only taken me 50+ years to figure this out 😉

Save the date: On September 26, 2026 the Harvest Full Moon is rising.

The Harvest Moon gets its name from its timing: it is the Full Moon closest to the Autumn Equinox, and historically, its bright evening light gave farmers more time to gather their crops. That symbolism feels especially beautiful now. This moon arrives at the beginning of a new season asking you to look at what your own life has grown this year. What survived? What became stronger? What finally came together after months of effort you weren’t sure would lead anywhere?

Let this Full Moon be about recognizing what you have before immediately reaching for what comes next. Give thanks for the people who stayed, the parts of yourself you got back, the doors that opened, and even the things that taught you when it was time to walk away. You are entering a new season with more information about what deserves your energy. Harvest what is good. Release what has run its course. Carry forward only what you want to keep growing. 🌕🍂

💚Hearts in the Parks💚 September 2026

I realized something important during last week’s retreat experience hosted on the Central Coast of California.

It’s brave to talk about love 🤍

All kinds of love touch our lives and our hearts. And no matter who you are or what life has brought you, the love you create ripples out into the lives of those around you.

It’s brave to stand for something so universally important that speaking about healing and honoring the heart doesn’t just sound nice and land politely, but it’s a critical stance to take as the world around us can at times feel so disconnected and scary.

It’s brave to say yes to travel over 2000 miles, with people you don’t know, to learn about the heart and the magic it holds 💥💥💥💥

It’s brave to be open to learning how to empower yourself, to be accountable for how you show up in the world, and for trusting in the process.

Love is beautiful and essential. Love in every form can be challenging and difficult. Love is and will always be the forever foundation of the Wide Open Heart Project.

Last week, we received many messages from earth angels along the way; all positive reminders about enjoying life, living heart-centered and thriving while “being” in the moment. “Life is good, life is so good” we heard from a beautiful woman at the lodge. She squeezed my hand as she said those words. Thank you, dear one, for reminding us that it is 😘

This retreat reinforced my vision of the Wide Open Heart Project’s mission and the decision to do more for others and to create more curated experiences for women who want to live heart-centered healthier lives.

Thank you to Tiffany, Kristi, Jennifer, Kim and Gigi for committing to your own hearts for 4 full immersive days in the Central Coast of California. We covered a lot of ground, from land to sea, from earth to sky. From the surface to the depths of love itself. And a special thank you to Monica, my co-heart-guide for assisting in making this retreat not only educational but fun!

Onward, brave and wide open hearts 💥💚

2027, where will you take us?

💚Preparing for the Wide Open Heart Experience💚

As I prepare for next week, I keep thinking about the word retreat. Somehow, it doesn’t quite feel big enough.

Yes, we are stepping away from our everyday lives for a few days. We are traveling to a beautiful place. We will hike, gather around tables, sit in circles, journal, laugh, breathe deeply, and spend time beside the ocean and redwood trees. But what I am preparing for feels less like a retreat and more like an experience.

A Wide Open Heart Experience.

Over these past weeks, I’ve found myself thinking less about schedules and itineraries and more about how I want these days to feel for the women who are traveling over 2000 miles to be with us 💚

Spacious.
Unhurried.
Meaningful.
Joyful.
Connected.
Alive.

As is often the case when we make plans that involve the natural world, Mother Nature has reminded me who is really in charge. I have been watching the Timber Fire in Big Sur closely, holding concern for the land, praying for the wildlife, the firefighters and everyone who has been affected. I am deeply grateful that, at this point, the fire will not impact our adventure.

But it has also been another lesson for me around surrender and allowing what “is” to “be.”

I can make the plans. I can create the itinerary. I can organize the details and imagine how each day might unfold. And then I have to loosen my grip and remember that I am bringing this experience into a landscape that has its own rhythms, its own wisdom and its own plans.

Mother Nature is in control. And I am surrendering to that.

Perhaps that is part of the Wide Open Heart experience, too.
