​As I have been finishing my book for publishing this month, this quote really resonated with me. I have lived so much of my life thinking it was going to be a particular year, age, or time that life would come together. Most recently with one child in college and one entering senior year as a single mom for those decades, I began to make lists of things I wanted for myself.

Again, always practicing what I preach, I called myself out. Why wait? Who is to say that the story has to pause until all the pieces are in place? Really, the pieces are never exact or perfect.

The story is always being written.

It is important to remember to live each moment, each day as if it could be your last. Don't wait for the 'right' moment, the 'right' moment is now. Share stories, share the light, share the darkness, and share the joy.
The stories are the source of life and the core of what your journey is about when lived fully.

Live your story today.

Love is the most powerful energy in existence.

It is often misunderstood.

Love is in journey.
Love is in grief.
Love is in relationship.

I believe it is often most over looked when it comes to ourselves. Reasonably, we find it difficult to stop and get in touch with oneself on a regular basis. It takes work and it’s scary. One may just find out they aren’t living honestly as they go deeper within their own story. They will inevitably be forced to walk in a different direction.

First, you must be your own best friend, your first child, your first priority.

As they say in the airlines in the safety directions, you must put your oxygen mask on before assisting your child.
If we don’t question and follow our own journey, how can we take care of anyone else, teach anyone else or simply believe in anything else?

Start at home with your body. How well do you nurture your body, spirit and soul with food, books, passions and expressing your sincere emotions regularly? How you do handle your healing energies?

How well do you truly love yourself?

If you can't fall in love with yourself first, you can't see true love in any other aspect of life. The answers will not come quickly, they will not come easily, and they are likely to be another journey to walk. But truth be told, if you don’t start at home within yourself, you will never be able take on what the world is trying to offer you.

There are many gifts to be found in loving you. 

I dare you. Fall madly in love with yourself today!

We have TWO amazing offerings this summer and fall that complement each other in a divine presence to guide you into living authentically; come to one or come to both, each offering unique gifts for you!
When I gather women together in a safe space designed to cultivate authenticity and compassion, what follows is an honest awareness of one's journey. Magical blessings unfold in conversation and community, while it becomes a space of awakening and true self-expression.

Are you ready to own your journey and bring a new passion and enlightenment in each step forward of your personal story?

Our goal is to offer resilience, improve well-being, and allow for growth, acceptance, and a more fulfilling life experience on the journey.

I believe there is grace in presence.
I believe there is beauty in acceptance,
I believe there is personal strength in empowerment.
I believe that we are the authors of our own story.

These photos were taken over 20 years ago in San Francisco at the Pier. I set up around 100 scales all over the sidewalk to sign affirmations. You had to walk through, people thought I was crazy. The teen volunteers were amazing and by the days end we were on the news! Why? It was/IS International NO DIET DAY! Every 52min someone dies of an Eating Disorder or from dieting. I know many, sadly, but was blessed to come out on the other side. Please reconsider how you talk to your body, treat your body and MIRROR your thoughts and emotions to others about your body. Words and actions matter. Your body only ever carried you through this life, try loving it in THIS moment, not an unrealistic one defined by a number or shape. IMAGINE where these young women are today after this experience!!!

Silence is a gift.

It is that simple.

When you practice silence, a calm comes over you to bring balance, regulating your nervous system. It may be one of the most difficult acts for some people, and for others it comes naturally. But, the question is, do you practice it?

On my retreat weekends we begin and end the days in silence. I could see immediately how some are incredibly challenged by this request. Questioning and reasoning is at the forefront before they will consider the practice. I can pick out the folks who immediately turn to a whisper, while I have to point out complete silence.  There are moments of humor, there are moments of fear, but by the end of weekend, it is the most popular comment is about how it surprised them. The conversation unfolds with the gifts they had learned in the challenge and how in fact it did allow them to find balance and inner calm changing how they approached their day.

Start small. Begin your mornings instead of reaching for your phone, rather being mindful as you make your coffee or tea. Listen to the noises around you. Take in the peace in your morning surroundings before the computer gets turned on and the phone starts ringing. When evening comes, pull out a journal, read a book, or simply find a breathing meditative mantra as you lay in bed.

When you protect your inner peace, your outer calm will bring the blessings you never expected.
