Life is Full of Butter
The languid sounds of old school jazz float over the dinner table. Soft golden rays of light filter in the windows on this night that finally feels like the beginning of summer. The conversation at the table is lively as our older children, Nick and his girlfriend...
Re-vamping Trust in Life, Dammit
For a long time, I lived in a state of perpetual confusion. I oscillated between: “I can do it my self!!!!!” (Dammit!), “I can do it myself.” (A gentler version of ‘I am woman, hear me roar.’), “I can do it better than you,” (So don’t bother trying to help out.), “I...

This is Crazy

Radical Self-Love is Compost for the Soul
Most mornings these days you can find me on the floor shaking. I’ve finally surrendered to the bright morning light and the chirpy birds and the amped up- anxious-want-to-crawl-out-of-my-skin feeling. Historically, I am not a morning person so it is no small feat to...

Fierce Warrior Woman
When life rears up in your face, When the money dragon roars, And the children cry for your attention, When your friends are shaken, And your partner’s in the trenches too, When your body aches from being sick and tired, And your soul is crying for your attention, Get...
