“War and peace begin in the hearts of individuals. Strangely enough, even though all beings would like to live in peace, our method of obtaining peace over generations seems not to be very effective: we seek peace and happiness by going to war.” –Pema Chodron I’m going home for Christmas, always a great opportunity… Continue reading When you just don’t know what to do: A mindful approach to right action
I would rather be thinking about all the whos in whoville and hanging twinkle lights…but I’m not. I’m worried about dying. Maybe because my kids have been with their dad since Thanksgiving and I have more brain space than usual. I have no one to hang twinkle lights for. A perfectly juicy, rich, smelly… Continue reading Death and Twinkle Lights: the gift of mindfulness and starting where you are
Good morning love, What part of you is here today ? Take a deep breath in and ask. Who is here? No need to search too hard. The first answer will do. For me it’s a part that feels soft and vulnerable. Like a young child, wondering if anyone likes me. A part that wants… Continue reading Monday Love
That’s my theme song this week. A love song. From me, to me. I fucked up. I hate when that happens. Really really hate it. Thinking about my theme song and what it means when I screw up. I was doing the best I could when I booked flights during winter break based on past… Continue reading Have a Little Faith in Me
Hey love, If you just spent an hour in bed surfing for inspiration, not wanting to get out from under the covers yet, and you missed the window for your morning meditation, this is for you. And me.

Happy Friday from beautiful and chilly Monterey, CA. Going to keep it short and sweet today. There’s a rugged coastline with jaw-dropping views calling my name. Staying with my theme Go Outside, Now. Or today, “Shut up and Dance with Me.” Embodying my mindfulness practice. Embodying my emotions. Embodying my deep feminine nature, means literally… Continue reading Shut Up and Dance With Me
Good morning beauty, Today I invite into the open all of the small, young, scared parts of me. Any old hurts or dodgy beliefs that are blocking me from my highest self. I welcome you with open arms. I see you and I hear you. I am here to hold you. Heal you. Love you.… Continue reading Monday Love
Hi. How’s it going? I labored for nearly 5 hours on my post today before deciding to scrap it (for now anyway). It was a hot mess. A lovely reflection of my insides right now. I was close to being “finished” but when I read it my heart was pounding and my body was bursting… Continue reading Go Outside, Now
Goodmorning beauty, Let me just say, in case you have forgotten, you are an irresistible force of nature. A time turning, magical manifestor of sweetness. A hardworking, bad ass Mama. A sassy, sexy, swanky lady of majestic vision. You have heart and soul and wisdom spilling from your supple, snaking curves. And I… Continue reading Monday Love
I thought, that with all my years of writing love letters—for me, for my book—for this blog, that this process had been fully explored, but OMG! Writing this is kicking my ass. Maybe because there is so much my body and my heart are trying to process right now. Maybe because there is so much… Continue reading Embracing the Critic
