What might you need to shift in your life in order to manifest a Soulful holiday season? A dear friend was sharing with me how good she felt after finding the courage to say no to going to a concert with friends, even though she had already purchased the tickets. As the evening got closer…
DetailsWill is away at college, not yet home for the holidays. Jami was singing at a memorial service, so I was home alone tending to the “short girl – tall tree light situation”. I love decorating the tree, grateful for the spacious afternoon to do so. What I didn’t expect was the flood of emotions…
DetailsI’ve been contemplating this upcoming holiday season and I wanted to offer a few thoughts and ideas each week in Dec. about creating a rich and Soulful Holiday Season. I’m so passionate about creating a Soulful holiday season because so often I see that the very time of year that is meant to be…
DetailsI’m so aware that as we celebrate Thanksgiving in the states and the holiday season begins around the globe, just how challenging being with family can sometimes be. So much history, possible past trauma and abuse, different personalities at different levels of growth all coming together with so much unspoken between us. I acknowledge…
DetailsWill is off at college, Jami is in Michigan helping his sister move their mom into her house and I have been alone in my home for the first time since before the pandemic. Interestingly, much of the quiet space has been filled with thoughts about our relationships. How I can bring the best of…
DetailsI’ve been writing about RELATIONSHIPS these past few weeks. There’s nothing I want more for you than intimacy and deep connection in all of your relationships. Besides “cleaning my own side of the street” and “appreciation, appreciation and more appreciation” that I wrote about in last week’s newsletter, here is another practice that has…
DetailsI can’t even believe Jami and I have been married for 20 years, together for 24! Whether you’re married, parenting, “adult-ing”, “career-ing”, “friend-ing”, we’re all involved in long term relationships to differing degrees. What makes a relationship work well? What makes a relationship THRIVE? These questions fascinate me and I’m continually looking for answers within…
DetailsRelationships! We’re all in them … with our SELF, our significant other, our children, family, in-laws, career … with our body, money, and purpose! But what’s the QUALITY of your relationships? Do you long for your relationships to have: better boundaries less conflict fewer power struggles more CONNECTION? Do you desire: deeper intimacy more authenticity…
DetailsYour past can IMPRISON you or EMPOWER you! I’m becoming so aware of the ways that I’ve allowed my past to IMPRISON me, especially where ABUNDANCE is concerned. Since I met Jami, he’s always said, “Babe, you have the Midas Touch” and every time he’d say it, in my mind, I’d silently say back to…
DetailsBefore Will left for college, we were having a family dinner and Jami and I were acknowledging him and letting him know that we see how ready for his next chapter he is. To our surprise, he asked Jami and me about OUR process of letting him go! He shared that he realizes that he…
DetailsIt’s hard to believe that we dropped Will off at college – gulp! I think the thing that jumped out at me the most, as we moved him in, was the sign “WELCOME HOME”. All I could think of was that I so hope Will feels “AT HOME” within himself. We all want that for…
DetailsI love the Olympics! The DEDICATION of the athletes, the desire to be the best they can be and the sheer LOVE of their respective sports is so inspiring to me. My Olympic event is SPIRITUALITY, because our Spiritual Life feeds every area of our life. There’s a saying, “We are spiritual beings having a…
