“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”-Anais Nin Spring has finally sprung. Mother Nature is giving birth. Old life is being reborn. Seeds that have laid dormant for a season now fight to find their way to the surface […]

Today I Celebrate
Today is March 1. This is the month I celebrate reaching that huge milestone in a woman’s life. You know that number we are supposed to fear. The number that means it’s only down hill from here. The number that means our beauty is fading and our value is diminishing. Screw that. 40 or XL. […]

Fear: Part II
“Do something everyday that scares you.” Okay so I can’t remember where I read this but I didn’t come up with this idea.

September I’m taking a trip that I had planned on taking thirteen years ago. Before marriage, two children and two careers I dreamed of exploring the west. I know not exotic or international but at the time I wasn’t thinking as big as time has now allowed me to dream. I just knew I thought […]
RESET
This is not a dark post but a happy post – What? I have wanted to break free of my life for so long but those chains are often hard to break. Micheal Miridad calls this a Spiritual Transformation of the Soul in You’re Not Going Crazy, Just Waking Up. I had to cross over […]
Let My Little Light Shine
“And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” ― Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of “A Course in Miracles” I started Dancing in a Hurricane almost […]
