Today marks a completion for me.....from what I have read is a 9 year cycle for us all....how that resonates for you is what is true.....it began in 2016......and for me that is the year I had my daughter.....and maybe for that first year of that, my marriage was in a good spot....we really enjoyed her, and her arrival sparked life in our challenged marriage....having been mom and dad to our sweet and special boy before her she came on the scene......and then in 2017, more 20

I see so many people in awe of the change and the things 2025 brought to their doorsteps....maybe reeling some. Looking back and thinking, wow, how did I survive that.....or wow, I am SO different than I was last January 1st, and for me that one resonates so so deeply......this year has brought transformational change, the kind that excavates your soul, and asks you to dig deeper......and I have done that.....digging in.....and swimming in the depths of myself to bring about

To "Exit stage left" means to leave a situation quickly, quietly, or embarrassingly, often making way for others" And this week.......... amid the holiday loveliness.... has also found me deep diving into apparently some healing that I was being called to do....see that is the cool thing now, when something surfaces for me, I trust it, and I know it is for me to look at it and move through it....Somebody else posted about their deep dive in the past etc and ooof....right??? A

Perhaps for the first time in my life, the last couple of years has had me pondering the power found in the LAST time.....we never know when something we love to do has met its completion.....the last time finding its way into our story.....the last time we have dinner with our grandparents.....the last time we hold our baby......the last time we speak to somebody we once loved.....the last time we hug somebody......the last time we celebrate something a certain way.....the l

There have been many lessons that will be carried into 2026 with me.....the lessons, not the baggage;-).....and one of them is that my intuition is SO strong now.....I have carried it with me all of my life, but now I feel it so fully......I had mentioned going on that date....and feeling as if, despite our having a lovely time, we may be mismatched in some ways....but we had also become friends on FB, and I thought we may build a friendship and we had talked about that....an

I set out this holiday season to crank the magic up some, my girl perhaps bidding farewell to Santa this year, even though she doesn't know it yet:( Although she wants to believe deeply, so perhaps next year will find her wanting to live Santa in our home:) however Santa will always be alive in our home, for my son.....he will always believe and therefore lend us his Christmas magic;-).......but based on some signs, I felt that perhaps Santa wouldn't reside in the same way h

I fell asleep last night, rookie mistake......I don't know what I was thinking....my gal wanted to sleep with her mama and I was so tired.....this cold has gotten so much better, but it definitely has zapped my energy amid the holiday bustle.....and I closed me eyes.....and well....we know what happened, out cold lol:) Luckily my daughter woke up talking in her sleep and hot.....and she woke me up, and then quickly fell back to sleep, so I could do my Santa stuff....and since

Christmas Eve is my favorite.....maybe more than Christmas Day.....magic filling the air....the feeling palpable....and I often think about all the traditions I walked through in my lifetime....and that undeniable piece, where we do not know when it is the last time....the last time we share a tradition with a group of people....and mostly that makes me think of my grandparents.....trying to remember when the last time they came to my parent's house for Christmas Eve was, and

My story houses another woman......the one my ex husband ended up leaving for....and 5 years later there are so many takeaways from living that experience.....I do not hold her responsible or give her credit for the things she forced me to learn and see, or the growth that has found me as a result of all I went through.....but she most definitely was a catalyst of change in my life......initially sparking my primal fight for MY family......for MY husband....and igniting that

On January 7th of 2026, it will mark the 5 year anniversary of my being a resident in my new life.....and as I have said there is so much of it I have really enjoyed.......new adventures...new paths....a fresh new perspective in every part of my life.....renewed health....spirit......peace......joy.....love.......all of it.......like a magic carpet ride I never asked to ride:)......but as 5 years approaches, there is some grief......grief in the acceptance of living the last

So I have written so often about the power that resides in our minds.....but last night I proved that even more deeply.....I have been ducking and dodging some germs at my school....yikes....they have been everywhere for weeks....and I was relieved to see the end in sight, and meet Christmas break Friday....but then some crud caught up to me yesterday.....ugh right?? Christmas right around the corner, lots to do.....all of it.....so I began to up all my natural remedies....my

There is a situation in my life that for all intents and purposes looks like I should explore it more.....but it feels like a clear no for me in my gut, and I have acted on that no some, but I have this place in me, where my intuition speaks......correctly....and clearly...often, and then I talk myself out of it lol:) And I guess why I am writing it about it this time, is because I am planning on following the no this time..... for the first time....not pushing past my intuit

I have been privileged to call many children MY children.....or my kids, as we like to call them at school:)......obviously my own kids are my absolute heart.....and being blessed with them, and the feeling it gives me, is hard to articulate....in every way.....when I think of all I have walked through the last 5 years, and all of it......none of it makes any sense without them in my story.....we have the most fun together....and when the three of us are together there is an

I have started to view the world in terms of doors:)....and entering into them if they are mine, and missing them if they are not.....and the feeling I get when I know they are not, or the door misses.....never arrives.....THAT feeling is the one. The one that beckons to me now....and I was talking to my daughter about it yesterday.....she tried out for a play....and she really hopes she gets the part....and I do too! However I told her that her inclination to try was her doo

Today I am tackling a sensitive topic......one that we don't talk about enough.....and one that gets minimized, however I believe it is just as harmful as physical abuse, in nearly every way.....I am grateful to have never experienced physical abuse in my life.....that is a blessing never lost on me, considering some of the places I have been......however I have experienced verbal and emotional abuse......and it leaves its mark.....and it is what I have been overcoming in rec

If you have read for awhile, you will know that 2025 was a year where I had to face and really what feels, waged my final battle with self worth.....having learned SO completely...that I needed to remove myself from a situation, one where my heart was all up in it, to save my self worth, and my self, and truly learn to stand in my power for the first time in that way....and it was painful....and challenging....but on the other side magic:)....and here is a huge aha that came

The timing of life is divine.....no doubt for me......and I believe so deeply now, that it has become the rhythm of my life.....I have no worries in a real sense anymore....free to let go and trust and watch the divine work its magic.....knowing with such certainty that the way is unfolding every single day....not being able to be missed, even if I tried:) My faith leading the way....with trust in tow.....and this weekend was another example.....I had hoped to do breakfast wi

I am humbled often by the blessings that find my life so often.....raining down, and it is what helps my faith keep growing stronger and stronger and trusting the journey so fully.....defaulting to the belief that everything is working out for me, and well.....it is:) And in addition to the hot water heater acting up this week, and it being really nothing.....and other crazy challenges, I had to get my car inspected yesterday....and I was bracing myself....but keeping the fai

There is a whale that lives inside of me......I believe he lives in all of us....and I have written about him before....using the whale as an analogy......he carries my grief and pain.......and we coexist.......I often finding him swimming peacefully inside of me.....both of us knowing that grief cannot be extinguished, not fully anyway....it needs to be something we make peace with.....over and over again, and I see him sometimes.....metaphorically speaking of course;-).....

One of my passions in coaching is to try and TEACH somebody what I have learned the hard way lol:) Using my understanding of teaching, to believe that nearly anything can be taught.....but it isn't so easy, or straightforward when it comes to a life lesson generated wisdom and lessons.....but still I believe it can be done....it is what is wrapped up in our belief systems that unlocks the rest.....and if we can shift the landscape of our mind....like really shift it.....neuro
