“My love for you is strong Lord it brings me to my knees It was born in the wild” - Ryan Adams It is untamed. Wild and unplanned. I wake deep in thought, recalling the mornings in the Redwoods - the air cold and damp. There was nothing around but the untouched forest. Standing there, … Continue reading Wild Things
I'm a dreamer. I always have been. I have seen a vision & picture of what I wanted for my life for a long time. I didn't write it down. And I guess I never saw this vision as a goal.

I don't know about you - but I don't feel super motivated today. Or since things started to get rougher last week. This COVID-19 situation is discouraging, right? It's having an impact on all of us - though I know some are feeling it more than others. I started telework today. But being that it's … Continue reading It’s Going to be Okay
I've missed a couple of "Wellness Wednesday" opportunities so I wanted to share a few more strategies or positive coping skills for kids - that may be useful to you as a parent - particularly if you have a child who may be struggling behaviorally or emotionally. I shared about dietary changes & kids, here. … Continue reading Positive Coping Skills for Kids
I’ve been learning the art of giving myself some grace. The process of becoming a butterfly isn’t exactly pretty. They start as this ugly, squirmy thing and then they’re wrapped up in an even uglier cocoon for anywhere from 5 days to 21 days! I’m not where I want to be - but I will … Continue reading Butterfly – Monday Motivation
I am participating in a 2020 Reading Challenge. For February - the book theme was memoir or biography. I chose Peter Mayle's My Twenty-Five Years in Provence: Reflections Then & Now. I have read other books written by Mayle, including the novel A Good Year, which became a movie starring Russell Crowe {love the … Continue reading My Twenty-Five Years in Provence: Reflections Then & Now
