Whatever it is that you’re dreaming about- - dream bigger.
Don’t waste time thinking about how it’s going to happen or if it’s possible or how you will get there- - just start by dreaming. \
Start by allowing yourself to imagine something beyond what you have previously imagined. Start with the seed of a rose and imagine planting an entire garden…
Read MoreThe records opened with the words this month: “which road will you choose?”.
And I saw an image instantly that came with that; it was very playful! I saw a family that was in a minivan or a camper, and they were on a road trip, in the woods, going to a destination.
I heard - if a little kid was sitting in the back - “are we there yet? We’ve been going so long!”. So, there was a sense that some of us might be feeling that right now in our individual journeys…
Read MoreApril came in with strong winds, a quick breeze, and a tired heart.
I always say that March is a changeful month, and so it was.
Now here we are with a bit of springtime weather this Easter weekend as I reflect on the passage of time since we moved into the year 2021 and presently find ourselves stepping into the 2nd quarter of the year…
Read MoreI have a tradition that I do around Memorial Day each year. It began in 2016. Memorial weekend was a total gift that year. I’d just lost Brent that January, and after a long, cold, grief filled winter, the warm sunshine and blue skies that graced the last bit of May were medicine for my heart.

I was going through a deep process of transformation at the time…
Read MoreIt’s been a quiet season of heart these last few months.
The timing of the pandemic became a catalyst to a season of introspection and reevaluation, and I’ve used my time at home to try and appreciate the simple pleasures in life, search the wisdom in my heart and make space for new truths to reveal themselves.
I’ve been sorting through a lot this last season trying to see my bigger picture and continue to find answers for the questions in my heart…
Read MoreWe have several families of baby chicks on the property right now.
The eight, who I now call the adolescents, appeared about 7 or 8 weeks back. Right around the time when the world was stopping and everybody went indoors. We’ve been feeding them and watching them grow since from tiny little balls of baby fluff to gangling, rather awkward looking teens.
The little yellow family appeared about 4 weeks ago…
Read MoreMarch has come with a bit of a cool front and there’s a slippery, silvery island breeze washing over me, as I sit down to write these words.
I’m quietly excited: this week marks the first edition of Your Heart Magic- something I’ve wanted to get going for a while yet couldn’t quite see my way to and through.
Read MoreI declared yesterday a soul-care day.
It’s been a while since I’ve done an extreme day of self-love, and the other day, as I was writing a list of “soul-care activities” for a course, it occurred to me that I should take my own advice and put it into practice.
