Though your path make take you to new lows, keep moving, and find a way through. Beauty emerges despite the mud. As a Buddhist analogy teaches, our minds can achieve purity, like a water lily, when we remain unaffected by worldly problems. We can grow through pain and achieve joy, as nature does daily.

Find a place in your mind that you can visit to relax and feel calm. It can be an image of a place you’ve actually been or a place you’d like to go. Close your eyes, take 10 deep and meaningful breaths, and blow away all the stress. Breathe in calm and peace. Here is one of my new favorite images. This is located in Cancun along the beach. I can always imagine sitting here at one of these tables in the moonlight, eating good food, hearing the ocean waves and being by myself or with someone I love. I hope this little meditation helps you too.

I like this one. Simply put, “Become comfortable in discomfort.”

Hear me out

You don’t heal your nervous system by being smaller.

You heal it by becoming someone who can hold herself
in the moments that used to break her.

Your “villain era” isn’t about being reckless.

It’s about becoming unavailable for self-abandonment.
It’s the moment you: stop biting your tongue
start saying the thing
hold the boundary
disappoint people
and don’t collapse after

That’s regulation.

Not when everything is calm and easy...
but when your voice shakes, your chest tightens,
and you stay with yourself anyway.

Every time you speak up
Every time you choose yourself
Every time you survive being misunderstood…
your nervous system learns:
“I’m safe even here.”

Stop trying to heal by shrinking.
Expansion is uncomfortable.

Being the villain in someone else’s story?
Even more so.
But that’s where your capacity grows.
That’s where your power stabilizes.
That’s where you finally feel safe… in you.

Here’s what I am up to lately!

I’m still meeting with clients who are stuck in life’s challenges, and looking for a new path through challenges.

A recurring theme in my clients’ lives are stumbling blocks keeping them from experiencing joy and peace in their personal lives.

Stumbling blocks are often their own outdated habits that need to be replaced with new activities, strategies, and new thinking about themselves and what’s possible!

In alignment with my love for helping people activate their lives, I am currently serving as a middle school teacher this trimester!

I invite you to visit my LinkedIn profile, and read my latest post about what I’m learning from the children.

The beauty of coaching and teaching is that it’s not a one-way street. We’re always helping each other.

Teacher Reflection. As many of you know, my passions include being a guide, helper and thought partner for people and organizations that lift up my community. 🤩 To that end, I am currently serving as a full-time, temporary, middle school religion and reading teacher. I am also teaching 6th, 7th a...

Confusing rulings seem not based on health. Why remove requirements to label artificial dyes except petroleum based dyes? Many artificial dyes, have proven to affect immune system, hormones and more. I’m disappointed with this decision.

Food makers will now be able to claim that their products have “no artificial colors,” so long as they use dyes that are not petroleum based.

Energy drinks are hard on the body, causing stress to the liver, kidneys and colon. It may be time to find out why you are having energy drops, and replace the energy drink with real food and carefully chosen supplements for gut health.

With such an increase in colon cancer, and having lost a dear friend to it, here is a short list that may help us avoid it. Even young people will do well to read this. Sugary drinks (hello boba, energy drinks and sweetened coffees) can contribute to a less healthy colon.

All five of these habits are associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer among younger people in their 20s, 30s and 40s.
