I LOVE Thanksgiving!

It's a time when my heart opens and I take extra time to remember the people, events and situations that I am truly grateful for - including you!

This Thanksgiving, I invite you to pause for a few quiet moments to not only think about who and what you're...

Recently, I was explaining the concept of "oneness" to a client. While she understood the idea, she asked for a practical way to deepen her experience.

I remembered a practice I once heard from Neale Donald Walsch (at least, I think it was him!). It had a profound impact on me because it was...

With war, civil conflict, natural disasters, and political unrest constantly in the headlines, it might feel like there’s little reason to be joyful in today’s world.

And yet…

We witness neighbors helping one another, volunteers stepping up to serve, and acts of incredible...

I’ve been researching "joy” in preparation for my monthly Empowered Spiritual Path workshop next week. 

Many of us think of joy like their silly, giggling school friend who’s always good for a belly laugh. 

I was looking for something else.

I wanted to...

The other day I sat down to create a free online event. I’ve done this countless times and know exactly how to navigate the platform. It’s usually fast and easy. Not this time.

I found myself retyping the same content over and over, trying to load it correctly. When I realized how...

Have you found yourself in a heated discussion over politics with a loved one?

Have you experienced:

• Tense conversations with friends or family who embrace views you can’t understand?
• Feeling you must “unfriend” loved ones on social media for sharing posts you object to?
• ...

A few weeks ago, I awoke early on a Sunday morning and smiled as I walked through the house.

Not even the cat was awake as I welcomed the silence and grabbed my journal.

I lit a candle, settled myself in my favorite spot at the kitchen counter, took a few deep breaths and wrote at the top of the...

I love a good check list.

I’d love nothing more than to give you a specific, one size fits all, checklist of how the spirituality minded “should” respond to chaotic domestic and world events.

It doesn’t work that way.

There is no one “spiritual response” that...

In honor of my daughter Stephanie's birthday this week, I'm sharing a video I did several years ago about her birth. It was a difficult time for us both. My obstetrician told me after the fact that he was afraid that neither of us would survive.

Stephanie is my first child and I became...

You've probably learned that your thinking creates your experience. I believe it.

Looking back, I realize the countless times my thoughts not only crafted my life experience but affected everything around me.

Many years ago, I learned to scuba dive in the Bahamas. On the second day with my...

For many years I wouldn't have felt free enough to dance on the beach like the folks pictured above.

Oh no...

I felt too fat, too uncoordinated, too self-conscious, too everything!

Many self-help books, therapy sessions, mystic texts, and coaching masterminds later, I feel very different. Just...

Click on the image above and watch 30 seconds of bliss thanks to my seven month old grandson, Augie!

Why do we love to hear a baby laugh?

Because it reminds us of the purity of Love. Augie's laugh is authentic, honest and spontaneous. And it reminds us that we don't need much to be happy!

Even...
