§ We came to this world to LIVE OUT LOUD.
How I Got My Groove Back
You know how sometimes everything seems to be going ok but you have this nagging feeling that something is off? Or you just aren’t happy?I’ve had that nagging feeling for the past couple of years and I knew what it was…
Turn Anxiety into Inner Peace
Have you ever felt completely anxious and angry because of a relationship problem (or anything else)? Want to learn how to come back to center and feel peace and love in your heart? I have been having major problems with a relationship that has been an important part of my life for the past year or two.
Mindfulness Heaven
When was the last time you gave yourself a week, a day, or even a couple of hours to simply be? I just spent a glorious week at a Family Mindfulness Retreat with two of my daughters at Plum Village, the monastery founded by Vietnamese Buddhist Zen monk Thich Nat Hahn in the Bordeaux region of France.
Miracles Do Happen
Dreams do come true and miracles do happen. I spent many years hoping my husband would join me in my passion for personal growth. Then a gave up. I just surrendered to things being as they are and decided to focus on my own happiness.
Grace and Ease
These days my #1 goal is cultivating inner peace. Nothing else is nearly as important. I’ve gotten to the point of my life where I realize that it’s not what’s going on but how I react to what’s going on that makes all the difference in the world.
Do Your Spiritual Beliefs Sustain You?
My spiritual beliefs saved me when all I could do was lay in the dark depressed and watch a candle burn. They gave me sustenance in moments of greatest fear. And they gave me the inspiration and faith to keep going, to heal my childhood traumas, and to create the life of my dreams.
Are You Living Your Passion and Purpose?
I write this in route from Paris to Riga, Latvia (where we will just hang out for a few days to get to know a new part of the world) to Tallinn, Estonia to Plum Village for a weeklong family mindfulness retreat in Bordeaux.
Dream Trip to Paris
I’m in Paris for a mother-daughter trip with my oldest who turns sixteen soon. I promised her this trip for her 16th birthday as we sat around eating an after-school snack eight years ago and sixteen still seemed so far away.
Are You a Good Enough Mom?
Do you ever feel like no matter how much you do, you are not a good enough mom? Or don’t do enough as a mom?
