Volume XX Issue# 2 Hi Reader, The first full week of 2025 was a busy one. It had me thinking about foundations and strength. When life gets chaotic, leaning into your foundation helps. If it's strong, it can help calm the chaos. Chakra work is a core practice for me. Generally, it doesn't take much time and can easily be woven into a daily routine. The spotlight is on the root chakra this month. Checking in on and strengthening your energetic foundation is a worthwhile effort. The Root of It...

Volume XX Issue# 1 Hi Reader, Happy 2025! I started the year with a bug that had me on the couch for a few days and a lingering cough. Very unusual for me, I'm usually pretty healthy and get a bit cranky when I'm under the weather. I'm happy to say I'm feeling better and decidedly less cranky. At the start of a new year, many of us take a look at what we want to change or create. It's a good time to check on boundaries and the ability to align with your values and desires. In my work with...

Volume XIX Issue# 42 Hi Reader, It's been getting chilly here, prepping me for my trip to France/Germany/Austria/Hungary in a few weeks to visit the Christmas Markets. I had to buy a winter coat for the trip ❄️. With the days shorter and nights longer I find myself a little more reflective. I definitely lean more toward optimism- I usually believe the universe has my back (and it does mostly😎 ). I was working on some of my research and thought it was a good time to look at mindset. Your...

Volume XIX Issue# 41 Hi Reader, I’m someone who really values my peace. I work at it - meditation, breathwork, energy clearing, time in nature and I love me a good book. My peace has been shaky the last couple of weeks so much divisiveness and a stress-filled election have been challenging. We’re also entering the holiday season, and with the turkey, family gatherings, and gift-giving, there is inevitably some stress. When I started exploring holistic health, Jon Kabat Zinn was pioneering his...

Volume XIX Issue# 40 Hi Reader, Halloween is this week. My neighborhood is a fan favorite for trick-or-treating. We get hundreds of kids. It’s so much fun seeing all ages get dressed up and having fun. When we first moved here a neighbor warned me to have lots of candy. I expressed my delight (my previous neighborhood had zero trick-or-treaters) she chuckled and said “Oh you’ll get your fill here.” That first year I ran out of candy in an hour and had to shut off my porch light. Kids still...

The Energy of You Volume XIX Issue# 26 Hi Reader, I was watching the documentary Simone Biles Rising this week {I am not into sports, but I LOVE the Olympics}. I have such admiration for her ability to trust her own wisdom and having the courage to do what was right for her. She talks about how difficult that was and how crushed she was to have to walk away from the competition. The ability to lean in and discern your own truth is not always easy. I highly value it, and in my practice, I work...

The Energy of You Volume XIX Issue# 25 Hi Reader, A few years ago, I was having dinner with a friend. We were talking about our healing practices. Allison is a flower essence practitioner and animal communicator. I lowered my voice just above a whisper to ask her, “Can you see auras?” She leaned in, lowering her voice as well “No.” Relief flooded my body. I wasn't the only one. We started laughing. It’s an inside joke now when we have a particularly powerful session or some self-doubt creeps...

The Energy of You Volume XIX Issue# 24 Hi Reader, We’re having our first heat wave of the summer this week, luckily the fog here on the coast helps keep the temperature down a bit. I did have a delightful moment last night sitting with a glass of wine, on the swing my daughter built me and a Ruth Reichl book (Save Me The Plums:My Gourmet Memoir). A lovely close to the first half of the year. Hard to believe we’re halfway through the year. This time of year brings out some introspection for...

As an introvert, I need to balance my social activities with my alone time. Part of my downtime this week was spent with Marcellus, the octopus in Remarkably Brilliant Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt. It was a well-written book with a beautiful story of...
