I’ve always loved to write. And told myself someday I would write a book.

This is a start. Thank you for reading!

 

Elysia

Elysia I said my good-byes to Elysia, the woman who got me started and taught me reflexology, on March 5th. That was the day I attended a workshop with her to learn how to use the wooden dowel during a reflexology session. This was to be her last workshop before she...

Seven Years

Hi Mom, Me again. Another year has gone by without you. I wish I could say it is getting easier. It’s different, but not easier. Today, the anniversary of your passing, marks the beginning of my downward spiral so it’s always a difficult day. I get taken back to that...

Six Years.

Hi Mom,  Six years. I knew this day was coming. It always does.  So much to fill you in on. The world is still a mess, even messier than the last time I wrote to you. And I am presently struggling with some things personally. You know what they are, as I talk to you...

Have you ever been in a funk?

Like for days (or even weeks)? And you don’t know why you are feeling the way you are? Everything seems to be going along just fine, so why do you feel so low? There is always a reason.This happened to me recently. I had some energy work done and I was feeling pretty...

A Letter to My Mom

It's been four years since you left us. Four years ago I thought I would die too. From grief. Sometimes I wished that I WOULD die. So I didn’t have to feel that pain, that ache, that emptiness in my heart that just wouldn’t go away. You wouldn’t have been very happy...

Detours

Road block. Detour. Speed bump. Setback. Hiccup. We all experience them. We all react to them. How we react to them is key.Sam was supposed to graduate from boot camp this past Thursday. She called me last Saturday evening to tell me that she was being held back for 2...

Send a little love.

Rather than judge, always seek to understand. And send a little love. Sometimes we are so quick to judge. I think we are all guilty of this. All of us. Whether we want to admit it or not. I know I did that just this morning. I guess it’s easier, and quicker, than...

Forgiveness

Somehow, I have come to a place of forgiveness. Something I swore I would never be able to do. When I did, when I simply let go, a funny thing happened. I received a random message that involved two of the people that I needed to forgive. It was a message that told me...

Letting go.

I’m sitting here watching Sam, napping on the couch. It is very likely this will be the last time I see her napping like this. Tomorrow morning she heads to Portland, ME where she will spend the night and then leave for Navy boot camp on Wednesday. My heart literally...

Focus on the positive.

Let’s recap over the last week. The world as we know it fell apart within a matter of days with the Coronavirus. It started small. At first a couple of school events were postponed, the start of spring sports put off. We started hearing more and more about the virus....

One step at a time.

Getting reacquainted with my yoga mat. I first started practicing yoga when I was going through my divorce. I needed a release, something that was just for me. It was only once a week but something about it brought me peace. Eventually I found the cutest little...

Reiki & Reflexology

What to expect during your first session. You will most likely be greeted at my front door by Maggie and Emmy, our two rescue dogs. They will sniff you and once they realize you are friends, they will beg for a treat 🙂 I have a short form that you will fill out,...
