Summertime Sadness We have entered autumn, and unlike many, I am sad about it. Yes, the cooler temperatures are nice. Yes, I am a member of the Pumpkin Spice Latte fandom, and I have already had quite a few of them. Yes, I enjoy the season’s offerings of football, Halloween, and DĂa de los Muertos. But, […]
Making Space Have you ever found yourself invited to a place or event and when you got there, there was nowhere to sit? No one saved you a spot?! It’s a little unsettling, but you can roll with it. But then, maybe you don’t really know anyone. Maybe there were some crossed wires in the communication […]
Quicksand & Amnesia A long time ago, back when we mostly only watched weekly television shows, there were overused plot points and stereotypical storylines that sort of glued themselves into our psyches. One was quicksand. The other was amnesia. I swear, we were set up to believe that a quicksand emergency could happen just about anywhere. […]
Magical Advice? ***Before I delve into today’s meditation, I just want to let you all know that I do get to read the comments you send in response to these newsletters. And for all of those lovely comments you’ve written, I want to send a warm, squishy hug in response. Thank you so much for the […]
Filling The Well  I once had a professor who I unabashedly had a crush on. It was in grad school. I was kind of older, he was kind of younger (and very single, as was I). He had this magnetism about him. I had no intentions of breaching any ethical boundaries while I was taking his […]
I Confess One of the secrets of being at peace within yourself and with other people in your life is to be an active participant in communication. That’s not a surprise, right? It’s almost a clichĂ© at this point that nearly every relationship could benefit from better communication. It is important to communicate basic things like […]
Undoing the Hurt I’m sure you’ve likely heard the adage that goes, “hurt people hurt people.” It gets thrown around when unthinkable violence happens in the midst of everyday life, when abuse is uncovered, or maybe when therapy has led us to some realizations about ways we may have been hurt (or caused hurt) in our […]
Vacation State of Mind They say the Universe only gives you as much as you can handle. But I think maybe I’ve been a little too willing to “handle” things I don’t want and didn’t ask for. Someone’s got to do the handling of things, though. Is it me? Ummm…maybe? Sometimes? But there comes a time […]
Escaping the Comfort Zone Have you ever found yourself stuck? In your comfort zone? In your job? In your mindset? In your body? It’s not too hard to do. Comfortable things are…well, comfortable. If everything feels like fuzzy slippers and birthday cake, why on earth would you want to change it? Throw in some macaroni & […]
Dream Chaser If you have been waiting for a sign, let me share one with you.  This week, the full moon was a super moon and has lit up the night in my backyard quite remarkably. It’s bright enough to navigate a midnight stroll in my non-streetlight-having neighborhood without a flashlight. I have a friend who complained […]
Hurricane Season It’s been like living in a lightning storm lately. The rumbles in the distance sound foreboding, dark clouds gathering. Then CRACK! A strike hits too close and it feels dangerous. Adrenalin rushes, surges, subsides…followed by nagging worry. It’s not very mindful to get caught up in cycles of worry, but it’s hard not to […]
