The air is crisp today. As I sit here sipping my coffee with a blanket over my legs, I enjoy the refreshing breeze blowing through the house. Just a few days ago it was blistering hot, humid, and miserable. It seems that as soon as September hit, Mother Nature turned…
It’s surreal to me that this year is half over already. Time moves so much faster these days than it used to. I mean science has proven that to be true, but the way it feels like life is slipping past me blows my mind. How am I already 51? …
I had to share what happened today. Perspective is an amazing thing. Simply by tuning the camera lens to a different focus you get an entirely different view. I had something happen today that did just that. It completely flipped my perspective and cannon blasted me smack into the middle…
To me, May feels yellow. Maybe it’s because the sun is finally starting to shine. Maybe it’s the flowers. Maybe the joy of warmer weather invokes a happy yellow energy for me. Whatever the reason, I say let’s follow the yellow energy and focus on the solar plexus chakra this…
I think we can all use a dose of heart energy right now, can’t we? There have been a lot of energy shifts and astrological changes lately that have brought huge shifts. End to years-long cycles. The ending of contracts. The removing of people and relationships from our lives. It…
February is supposed to be the month of romance and of love. And I hope it is for the rest of you. For me, it’s looking like the month of healing and shadow work. Today I was listening to my daughter Courtney cry and vent about the news this week…
2024. The last year went by in a blur for me. It’s hard to believe January is here already. Normally January brings with it a fresh energy of new beginnings, decluttering, and ambition. A desire to go, to create, to do. This January is different though. Mostly because I’m newly…
October is my favorite month of the year. It always has been. Energetically it feels so good to me. I mean when I was younger I didn’t know to articulate it that way, but now I do. It feels good. It’s cozy and beautiful. Energetically it feels full of warm…
https://youtu.be/frM3_Kq8-wwI’ve been seeing pictures of friends and family visiting the sunflower fields near my home. This happens every September. Apple picking, clear blue skies, and sunflowers…these are symbols of September to me. They are also reminders that summer is winding down and this always lands with bittersweetness (is that a…
Summer is winding down. I mean technically it’s been summer, but it hasn’t felt like it much. It’s been either cold or rainy much of the time. I’ve had little time to enjoy the season with baby-related goings on. That’s a good problem to have though because it means we…
I don’t know about you, but where I’m from summer brings to mind hot, humid, sticky days where all you want to do is lounge around by the pool, the lake, the ocean (or whatever body of water you have), or on the couch in front of a fan. Summer…
It’s golden hour. I’m swaying to the sound of “Into the Mystic” by Van Morrison wafting through the warm summer air just like the smell of the flowers on my patio. My biggest stressor of the evening is that the birds won’t stop tearing up my flower bed and I’m…
Can you believe it is already May? It blows my mind how fast time flies these days. If only the Ohio weather would behave like it’s May, things would be awesome. It’s been rainy and cold here, but I know that soon the sun will be shining, flowers blooming, and…
When thinking about April and what I would write in this blog, I had planned to make it about the excitement and vibrancy of Spring. About the beauty that surrounds us and the life you can literally smell in the air. About fresh starts and exciting new beginnings. And while…
March is the time of year when we get our first hints of spring. Winter isn’t over, but there is hope for a change in seasons on the horizons. As I write this, I’m listening to birds chirping. Yesterday when I opened my front door, I could smell the green…
With Valentine’s Day cards and candlelit dinners, February is, of course, known as the month of love. So, this will be our topic this month. We will be focusing on all things love. More specifically, the heart chakra. I would venture to say that most humans on the planet have…
January always brings with it a sense of all possibilities. Fresh starts, renewed focus, another chance to do even better. This January also brings with it my fiftieth birthday, which blows my mind if I’m being honest. I’m not opposed to aging. Aging is an honor. And I am so…
Procrastinating as usual. I’m supposed to be writing this blog post but I’m struggling to calm my mind enough to tap into my heart. Instead of writing, I decide it’s the perfect time to wrap all the Christmas gifts and put them under the tree. Then go outside and pull…
Focusing on shadow this month has been hit or miss for me. I’ve spent a lot of time in denial. In a state of “Shadow? What shadow?” In other moments, there’s an undefined gloaming. A soft melancholy that whispers so softly in my ear I can’t quite make out the…
2010 2021 1989 1991 2018 2009 2002 1989 2004 1993 2011 Driving through the night with music blaring, my heart is overflowing. What a great day. These types of days are rare, and I always forget how amazing they feel. How free I feel. How blessed I am. Today I…
November is our very first month! I'm churning with conflicting emotions about it, if I'm being honest. It can be scary to begin something new and to step out in faith. It also comes at a difficult time because I've suffered some loss lately and I'm feeling quiet, introspective, and…
