  • time segmenting.

    If you live by a school schedule, this may be a nice post to support a segment of time to focus on a few simple habits that can move you toward your personal desired outcomes.

  • you don’t know?

    This past Friday we had a wellness afternoon at the school I work at.  One of the offerings was a 45 minute yoga class. Minutes prior to the start of the class, I was apologizing to the facilitator (a coworker and friend) as I had left the room messy. They had already transformed the room […]

  • a healing journey.

    I believe in healing.  Have you ever been asked what Superpower you would want to have? Once in a first grade classroom I shared that I would want the superpower of healing. And I remember feeling the student next to me nod, as if to say, ‘yeah…me too’.  The book Nine Perfect Strangers by Liane […]

  • winter doldrums.

    I began writing yesterday morning. I was hopeful to publish because I love the first day of a new month. Below is yesterday, followed by a continued reflection from today. It’s March 1. 21ish days left of the Winter season. Because of the yoga teacher training I participated in from August-November 2024, I added to […]

  • is gossip good?

    And just like that it is bonus Saturday morning… I love three day weekends and getting a Saturday do-over.

  • to know thyself

    In this blog post I share Andre Duqum’s year end podcast with journal prompts. It’s exceptional as is Andre. “As for me, in 2025 I’d like to allow what has sprouted over the course of this past year to continue its growth. I desire to be a patient daughter of the sacred soil of my own precious life experience.”

  • a better way. week twenty eight

    If you read the previous post something more. week twenty eight, I included the first section of a marketing interview I am in the process of completing. It has been a ‘trip down memory lane’ as I am considering the questions asked and the most thoughtful, relevant, and (helpful?) responses. Today I will share part […]

  • a better way. week twenty five

    In the fall of 2005, I began a two year graduate program in Social Work at the University of Denver. I knew from the first day it was time to learn, time to absorb new information.  I have a similar feeling currently. Summer 2024. 52 years old. Time to learn. Time to absorb new information.  […]

  • something more. week twenty four

    This blog is on summer mode. I began today’s post yesterday (Thursday) morning. Side note: if you are following the book club posts, there is no week twenty three for something more. Here is Friday morning (real time): I feel light and spacious… I feel light and spacious in my body… At this time in […]
