Last week I drove up to visit my Dad in a tiny town in the Northeastern part of California, the part of California that everyone forgets about.   A part of California that wants to secede from the state actually, along with parts of southern Oregon and northern Nevada – to become ‘The State of […]

Small Town American, Where I Grew Up

I’m bringing back the good old blog post with an update, since I’ve been extra quiet online this year.  I’ve been savoring my newfound freedom in self-employment, doing some much needed rest and reveling in deep personal joy like I haven’t felt in many years.  If you follow me on IG you know I turned […]

The ‘F’ Word

How Mindfulness helped me burn it all down. Last week I walked off my last day at my 9-5, working as a licensed therapist in a government agency doing public service.  After 15 years working as a LCSW mental health therapist & social worker I am stepping back, and it feels like closing a huge […]

I just quit my job.

My Mission: Part 1 Today I’m breaking down my true mission, because even though I talk all this mindfulness stuff – the truth is – it’s actually just a foot in the door.  It’s a sneaky wedge to get me closer to my actual supportive purpose – more women living in their fullness, more women […]

‘Stop Feeling Sorry For Yourself And Go To Bed’

How to bring it home. Mindfulness is easy on vacation.  Nothing to do but wander from moment to moment, soaking in and savoring the sights, smells, sounds and tastes of the world around you.   You’ve probably heard the quote, ‘Build a life you don’t need a vacation from.’  To be honest I get the point […]

Mindfulness Is Easy On Vacation

How much time do you think you spend in life working towards some goal?  Whether it’s working towards education, career related goals, relationship goals, personal development or fitness goals, much of our focus especially in modern society seems to be about achievement. I’m not here to bash on achievement, because I think the human spirit […]
