I am just coming back from a personal retreat, a time of remembering a close childhood friend who recently passed away. During this time I honored this deep and abiding friendship that started at a pivotal time in my life. Taking extra time to consciously restore my energies, this was truely a time to celebrate life, and still honoring that grief was woven […]
As the sun goes down on this day, make space for what hurts you and others, explore what is filled with pain, battered and bruised within your life and within the world. Mourn what has been lost and torn. There are days when it is very hard to be human. When death comes, when the […]
I’ve been listening to John O’Donahue lately, the late poet mystic, seems to be calling me home. This is the slice of wisdom and wonder that met me today and so as I prepare to walk out the door to visit a sacred meditation garden, one of my favorite silent spaces, I share this quote […]

FEEL = Focused Experience with Emotional Literacy I […]
Recently I was asked to write this article and I was surprised to find it difficult, the hard stuff is always complicated. Rubbing up against grief is always about touching a deep place that may carry fragments of pain…even when healing has happened the pain can still be felt. It is illuminating to feel and face, reconnect […]
Clearing a path, seeing through and making space… There is something special about a time of claiming and making space, this year it is claiming the time to enjoy the crisp weather. Getting outside to feel the breeze. The sunsets are beautiful…and night is falling dark earlier and earlier. I find that I want extra space […]
