• Happy first day of Spring! The energy of blooming trees and warmer weather can be invigorating, calling us into action. It is time to plant seeds, both literally and intentionally.

  • Despite the busy drive of the holiday season, this winter dark is a time for rest and reflection. While humans hustle about, nature and her creatures curl up and let go of unnecessary work.

Over the 9 years that I have held sacred space with my clients, I have [...]

  • Over the weekend, my family went to a Harvest Breakfast at our very cool little church. We sat around tables in a loving community, ate delicious food, sang songs and did a fun gratitude exercise. Based on a Jewish tradition, we made a list of 100 things we feel grateful for in our lives. Each table made [...]
