October 27, 2015 It’s a gloomy, rainy day today. I could feel myself standing on an imaginary line of where I wanted my day to go. If I stepped to one side of the line I would choose to have a gloomy day, if I chose the other side I could make my day […]

September 22, 2015 It was a Thursday night, and we just finished putting the kids to bed. I ran to Trader Joe’s for a couple of things I needed the next day. It had been an exceptionally long day and I was so looking forward to drinking a cup of tea in front of The […]
I started working with a meditation coach about 2 years ago. The main reason I decided to take on this practice was that I was desperate to become a better mother. I was overwhelmed ALL the time, I was frustrated and angry a lot, and I was depressed and anxious. Interestingly, I had no idea […]
School has started again and with that comes a sigh of relief and a sigh of sadness that summer is over. Unfortunately, it always seems that a few weeks into the school year some kind of cold or bug starts making it’s way around the community. So, I’m sharing all of the preventative measures that […]
