My Book Is Finished – Dreams Really Don’t Have Deadlines!
This morning I printed off my book on the topic of food sensitivities and children! It has been an interesting experience to notice the emotional roller coaster that it has placed me on. There is a huge sense of relief, of gratitude, of adventure and gleeful terror over what might be next as well as more than a few saboteur voices of doubt. This book, like the ones written by […]

Can You Be Alone With Only Yourself?
I love this video: -->http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7X7sZzSXYs How comfortable are you being alone? No distractions, no conversations, nothing to do and nowhere to go? Are you overwhelmed with thoughts of your "to do" list or are you simply antsy to get on with something - anything, to relieve those anxious feelings that are beginning to surface? One of the places of growth for me in the last year has been to learn to sit […]

Mental Illness And Food Sensitivities
Are you or someone you love struggling with the symptoms of depression? Have you ever considered that the food you are eating might be a significant part of the cause? I have spent 8 hours today immersed in the physiology of food sensitivities. I was proof reading this section for my book and filling in the gaps in the places where I felt I was lacking information or resources. I […]

Silence Is Golden
How often do you intentionally remove yourself from the noise of your busy life and sit quietly in solitude and notice what your body is drawing your attention to? Have you ever done it or are you, like most of us simply so busy much of the time that you don't even notice the chaos around you. I am headed off tomorrow for a blissful 1 week silent retreat. I […]

I Hear You. I Am Hear.
When you are expressing a challenge to a friend or family member, what do they say? Do they try and fix it, minimize it, or change the subject to themselves or do they respond as suggested by Wendy Harpham M.D. by saying, "I HEAR YOU AND I AM HERE. Today as I celebrate the 1 year anniversary of the severe flare up that I had of my autoimmune disease, I […]

How Do You Show Up In The Small Moments Of Your Life?
Mother Theresa said, "We can do no great things, just small things with great love." I love this quote as it is a reminder to be intentional about how we show up in our life day to day, minute by minute. While the significant things we do for others are always appreciated, it is most often the small, seemingly insignificant things we offer that have the biggest impact. When […]

Taming Your Worry Gremlin
I am up early this morning and aware of the "worry" on my mind. Rather than drift peacefully back to sleep which is what I would choose, I can feel myself pondering the topics ruminating in my thoughts. Did our new grandson finally poop after one full week of not going despite being breastfed? How did our young grandson and daughter in law sleep after having their flu vaccine […]

Waiting – Sometimes Easy and Sometimes Very Difficult!
Today I am in the space of waiting - waiting to welcome a precious new grandchild into the world. Patience isn't my best virtue so this "waiting" has led me on a curious exploration of this topic. As I reflect on other places of waiting in my life, I can see that sometimes the experience was easy and sometimes hopelessly difficult. In some situations I was able to do my […]
