Good morning Love, Today I give you permission to follow your bliss. Choose the good feelings, and follow them wherever they take you. For me, on this rainy Los Angeles day, it starts with a satin slip. Silky on my skin. A favorite t-shirt. Old. Loose. Holey. A cozy cashmere sweater (a $10 thrift store… Continue reading Monday Love
Today I was going to explore more on the topic of boundaries, but as life would have it (always life has its way with me) my fifteen-year-old son has given me a beautiful growth opportunity this week…and I am in it! Usually I like to wait until I am on the other side of… Continue reading Plant Strange Seeds: Parenting Mindfully, The Teens You Adore.
Good Morning my lovely one, Who is here today? Close your eyes, take in a few deep whole body breaths. Check in with yourself. For me it’s the quiet, introverted one. She gets grumpy at idea of needing to perform… and sometimes just walking out the front door equals needing to perform (to be something… Continue reading Monday Love
Good Morning Beauty, I hear you. You just want to sleep a little longer. It’s like that sometimes. Nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with you. What if you were to start your day with nothing to fix. No veiled layer of judgement telling you how you should be. More rested, less grumpy, less achy,… Continue reading Monday Love
Sixteen seconds of pleasure. That’s what I’m practicing for the next month. First thing when I wake up. No, not that kind of pleasure. Though it could be. Today was day two, and something amazing happened already. And yes, it’s parenting-related. Stay with me for a moment. Mindfulness does not ask that you never… Continue reading Tuning Out and Plugging In. Mindfully. — connecting with our kids, part 2 —

You’re doing a great job. I see you, I know you’re doing the best you can. I love… Continue reading Monday Love
So what am I here to say about this business of parenting and the practice of mindfulness? Of being a single, divorced mama of two teenage boys? I’m confused, all the time. I never know what’s the right thing to do or say. I feel torn watching them drift further and further into their own… Continue reading Creating connections with our kids: mindfulness and parenting
Let’s raise our vibrations and bring love to the world, dancing our asses off. Together. Starting this Monday with gratitude. For this breath, this life, this beautiful, breathtaking, blissful adventure. Please join me in celebrating! Dance. Wiggle. Sigh. Step. Sway. Move your body any which way and see what happens next. Just notice, without judgement.… Continue reading Dance Party
Have you ever wondered what that saying means: It’s not what you do, but how you do it? What does this actually look like in everyday life, for example when you are really pissed off about something? Or how about this one? I learned it in therapy: It’s not what you do, but who… Continue reading It’s Not What, But How
Hello my beautiful grumpy pants, heart of the rebellion, woman of my dreams, Thank you for showing up today. For showing me who I am, my truth. Thank you for reminding me that I can’t do it wrong (seriously, you can’t. Do it wrong.) And for launching me the direction of love. No matter what.… Continue reading Monday Love
