Grieving is Like Flowers

My older brother Roger died on May 1st. I’m grieving for the physical loss of my brother who was my best friend and hero for my first 7 years. I’m grieving for the loss of a loving relationship with that same brother who was abused as a child and then abused me. I’m grieving for…

Enjoying Where You’re At

I found this message written on a wall on one of my hikes recently. It reminded me of course, to enjoy where I was at. It also delighted me that people write things like this. The whole world occurs to me like a living book, with people creating on its surfaces everywhere. We are invited…

Lying Down in Wonder

Here’s my partner John and I, “trail napping” on a hike. I figured out that I would hike more often if I knew I could rest along the way. And it’s absolutely true. I have hiked farther, higher & more often than ever before. And it helps that John loves views and carries our backpack…

Jumping For JOY

I’ve now returned from vacation and am jumping for JOY- here’s my partner John, jumping;-) about how many people are watching my free Activating and Empowering Your Personal Power video series, and engaging deeply with their Inner Wise Selves and transforming their inner critics. These kinds of transformations are truly powerFULL. The video series is…

Oceans of Love

I’m in Mexico on vacation with John and our friend Edward for my birthday. I hadn’t planned on posting here today, but when I heard about what happened in Boston, I was flooded with the feelings of miracles leaping forward to help. These leaping miracles are everywhere all the time of course, and are brought…

People Amaze Me

People Amaze Me I love that our dreams never stop knocking and desires keep coming. No matter what happens in our lives, we still dream and desire and want more. When I mentor people, I have the great privilege of witnessing & facilitating their dreams & desires being made REAL. My mentoring clients amaze me…

Love Shows Up

As I watch the rain fall today in San Francisco, I’m musing about the nature of love after attending a miraculous wedding in Big Sur on Valentines Day. Watching Dan & Lana stand together in a circle of rose petals, I was struck by how much love loves to show up. It was there with…

The Look of Love

The opposite of love is not hate, the opposite of love is fear. And we cannot occupy both feelings at the same time. When I’m experiencing fear, I look for love to pull me up or out- into a new view. Sometimes I cannot see a new view in the midst of my fear thoughts…

More Miracles

Most people don’t think of finding miracles at the Department of Motor Vehicles- in fact, it seems like a challenge to find any miracles in that environment. When you wear “miracle glasses” you see them everywhere. While at the DMV recently with my friend Val, I witnessed a little boy holding his mothers hand, being…

Yes Cookie

  This is the Gingerbread person I made with my sister in law Jennifer. I drew the word yes in the skirt, so I guess it’s actually a gingerbread woman. Cookies are so cheerfull to me. They’re round (or square) and sweet and ready to play. Or they’re in the shape of a friendly looking…
