I have two crushes. I almost feel like a teenager again. I was a very boy-crazy teen. Well, and of course there has been my adoration of Alyssa Milano. And now, here I am, 48, with crushes on two men. Not one man I’m trying to determine whether I like. Not one potential relationship I’m… Continue reading I Have Two Crushes and I’m Not Choosing Yet
Some lessons return to us again and again. Boundaries. Self worth. How to love without losing ourselves. How to receive. Maybe growth isn’t leaving these lessons behind, but meeting them differently each time.

For me, this was my recent Breathwave session at an event called Good Medicine, facilitated by Patrick and his incredible team. In that sacred, welcoming space, I connected with myself in a way I had never thought… Continue reading Finding Wholeness in Breath
How beautiful that we're in a perpetual growth, evolution, and self-discovery state. Over the last few weeks, I've had the delight of learning things about myself that now, in hindsight, seem glaringly obvious. I am a creature of comfort. Then again, aren't we all?
