Life is filled with beginnings and endings. Some of those are blazingly obvious like graduation, a wedding, or the end of a pregnancy. The less than obvious chapter changes are the ones that keep clients up at night as they wrestle with the question: is termination or continuation the most appropriate in this situation? This [...]
Winter Is Coming!
I know, it's finally spring!!! The birds, the sun, the fresh air, the rain showers, green grass, flower blossoms! All of the physical signs of growth, renewal, and flourishing...it's a BEAUTIFUL playground of deliciousness outside! While the season of winter--the one containing snow, ice, plummeting temperatures, and dormant plants--is behind us, we're talking about winter [...]
Worry Less, Live More
It's 2:00 AM & I snap out of a deep sleep in an instant... Heart racing, sweating, laying on the floor with my feet propped up on the side of the bed attempting to keep from fainting. At just 21 years old. Had the years of an eating disorder finally taken a toll on my [...]
Be You!
I went to coffee last week with one of my best friends. I swear we entered a time warp machine as the hours we set aside to be together passed in a flash. The laughter was abundant and boisterous, and i was so much fun! And we were 'those people'. (Insert eye roll here.) The [...]
Hansel & Gretel
What was your favorite story as a child? Snow White? Cinderella? Jack & Jill? Jack & the Bean Stalk? I was captivated by Hansel & Gretel as a kid although I don't ever remember asking for the story to be read to me. What I do remember is staring at the illustrations in the book, [...]

Or would your answer come easily and quickly because of course results come from hard work, determination, and fortitude? How about I let you in on the little-known fact there is an [...]
The Final Lesson
When I arrived to spend the last few days of my Grandma's life with her, I had one question I so terribly wanted to know. I wanted to ask her when I was with her at Thanksgiving and Christmas but either the timing or my audacity had not aligned. With time drawing near, I knew [...]
The Messenger Angel
This story rewinds life approximately 18 months to another morning of prayer and meditation, the way I begin each day. I find direction and guidance in creating an open spiritual space to receive something other than the 60,000 thoughts the brain likes to fire off every single day. But this meditation was different... there was [...]
