I woke up this morning with a quiet heart, who grew heavy when I saw the headlines and reports of more rioting and violence in the United states of America.

The household was quiet—for once I managed to sneak out of the bedroom without waking the cat or the dog (both who can be quite high needs first thing in the morning), made myself a cup of coffee, and sat down on my meditation pillows as I contemplated life and watched night’s ink sky begin to streak with dawn’s silver and gray.

I lit candle. Burned a little juniper. Put my hand on my heart, opened myself to spirit…

Parachute: Trusting Our Leaps of Faith

It’s been a quiet season of heart these last few months.

The timing of the pandemic became a catalyst to a season of introspection and reevaluation, and I’ve used my time at home to try and appreciate the simple pleasures in life, search the wisdom in my heart and make space for new truths to reveal themselves.

I’ve been sorting through a lot this last season trying to see my bigger picture and continue to find answers for the questions in my heart…

One Step at a Time: Navigating the Unknown

We have several families of baby chicks on the property right now.

The eight, who I now call the adolescents, appeared about 7 or 8 weeks back. Right around the time when the world was stopping and everybody went indoors. We’ve been feeding them and watching them grow since from tiny little balls of baby fluff to gangling, rather awkward looking teens.

The little yellow family appeared about 4 weeks ago…

Happiness Is The Act of Being Whole

Back in January I chose 'Happiness' as the theme I wanted to learn about and grow in 2020.

Each year I choose a word or phrase whose essence and energy I'd like to better know and understand. Then as the year goes on, I begin to see what the word has to teach me, which always shows up in unexpected ways— sometimes rewriting my definition and understanding of the word entirely.

For example, I once chose “Peaceful Heart” with the intent that my life be drama free and heart healing after a previous year fraught with transition and heartache…

Sacred Circles: Journeys in Ceremony

It’s been a week for sacred circles. Last weekend,

I married two friends in a lovely, simple, quiet ceremony by the lake. They’ve somehow found a fit after a lot of miss-fits, and it brought my heart joy to be a tiny part of assisting their union.

Later that night, I did intuitive readings for an equally lovely group of friends who invited me into their circle for the evening and allowed me to take part in their wonderful warm, loving energy (and one totally awesome cheese and charcuterie grazing table)…

A Life of Appreciation is A Life Well Lived

It is a beautiful spring day outside. Butterflies abound. Flower are opening up. A slight breeze is helping lift the heat, which suddenly returned to the island last weekend.

We’ve fallen into a quarantine routine in my household, which is much harder on my husband (who does not like to be contained) than it is on me. I already work from home, and other than my deep need to go be out in nature, I can be quite introverted and hibernate-y when I’m in writer’s mode.

The Light of The Akashic Records

It’s not so much that I found the Akashic Records, it’s more that they found me.

Back in 2014, I heard by word of mouth about a woman who did Akashic Records readings. I didn’t know much about them, but I was open to dialoguing with spirit in new ways, and when my friend told me how powerful and helpful her reading was, I decided to reach out and see about doing one myself.

A week later I found myself sitting in a dark, quiet room at a yoga studio as the woman across from me told me about how we can access our unique soul wisdom, stored at an energetic level, through our Akashic Records.

Staying Centered in Uncertain Times

Lately it feels like things are changing on a moment by moment basis. The pandemic has tossed life upside down, and we are all navigating into unknown terrain.

I’ve been so many shades and tones these past few weeks. One moment feeling positive and can-do, the next grappling with financial anxieties and long-term implications.

As a transformational teacher, I’ve struggled to find my voice and how best to show up and offer support. As an empath, I’ve struggled to maintain my energetic boundaries and separate out my feelings from the collectives. As a grief teacher, I’m realizing the magnitude of loss, and it’s triggered a complex web of grief tied in with losing my brother.

8 Keys to Authentic Living

Last month I had the honor of being onstage in Anchorage, Alaska, giving the talk, “Transform Your Heart. Transform Your World: 8 keys to unlocking the true self.”

Being a spiritual being on a human journey is hard, and I love developing vocabulary and ideas, that illuminate my own understanding and also help support others on their path. Transform Your Heart is part of that mission and purpose, and I hope to soon give the the talk on Kauai as well.
