“Your life, all of your life, is your path to awakening. By resisting or not dealing with its challenges, you stay asleep to Reality. Pay attention to what life is trying to reveal to you. Say yes to its fierce, ruthless, and loving grace.” – Adyashanti I was first exposed to meditation about 10 years…

I had a doctor’s appointment this week for an annual exam. It was with a new doctor who I hadn’t met before. Before I met with the doctor, I went through all the standard medical information with a nurse. She made notes in my file and indicated that she would relay the information to the…

I love clothes. I have ever since I can remember. When I was about 5 or 6, I remember standing at the top of the stairs trying on outfits for my brother. I’ve always enjoyed the way clothes make me feel. They spark joy in me! Which brings me to what I want to share…

I’m part of quite a large family… two brothers, one sister, one half-sister, two step-sisters, and one step-brother.…

As you probably know, Wednesday was the first day of spring. After the blizzard we had last Wednesday, I couldn’t be more thrilled! One of the reasons that my husband and I chose to move to Colorado was to live somewhere where there were seasons. We both grew up in places where we experienced four…

It’s blizzarding (is that even a word?) outside right now. We just lost power and I’m sitting in front of our gas fireplace writing to you in my journal. Yesterday, it was 60 degrees and sunny and today… well, let’s just say that we got smacked in the face with winter again! Rain, wind, snow,…

The Joy of Simplifying

My husband and I are getting a second vehicle. It feels like a pretty big deal. We’ve shared one vehicle for the past 20 months. It was a decision we made to downsize. What could we cut out of our lives? What was unnecessary? Yes… what could we do without? After having grown accustomed to…
