A Mom’s Tale: Reflections from the Heart
This past Saturday was my daughter’s first high school Homecoming dance. I don’t know if it is because of our recent experience of running from the gun, recognizing how fast time flies, and/or feeling for people like the Guttenbergs and Gabby Petito’s family (and so many families like them) who never get to see their […]

Daily Aligning with Love, Abundance, and Peace #245
I’m grateful for the growing opportunities from parenting. Talk about Divine connections, Divine timing, Divine guidance, and tapping into the Universal messages, kids will be our guiding lights into our own light and our own darkness.

Daily Aligning with Love, Abundance, and Peace #124
I’m grateful for what being a parent teaches me. Before I had kids, I was 100% invested in my career. I was in one dysfunctional relationship after another. I wasn’t ready to see the inner workings of me, I wanted to be better, but not by working from the inside-out (never worked). I made a […]

I used to live everyday in autopilot. I was caught up in the same routine, thinking the same things, doing the same things. The insanity of the situation was I expected different results.

I’m Not Stupid After All: School Testing and Self-Worth
The divergent thinker has considered the problem from all angles and made connections between the question and each of the potential answers. He has now spent four times as long on the question as the person who is tuned to think convergently, and his likelihood of choosing the “right” answer is still no better than […]

“When you know and respect your own Inner Nature, you know where you belong. You also know where you don’t belong.” -Benjamin Hoff, The Tao of Pooh p. 41 1. Life is not always a family-friendly T.V. show. I grew up in a time where all families on T.V. looked perfect. They handled problems with ease, […]

Embrace the Breakdown
When I was 17, I struggled with severe depression. I could send myself into a tailspin within seconds. It got so bad that I agreed to be admitted into a hospital to get help. I used to believe that it was only going to get worse, and that there was no hope in my future. […]
