It’s been a while between blogs....so where have I been? Well, I guess below the radar...flexing, stretching, hiding, contracting, expanding. Just living and experiencing life. Some days with expectations, and others just going with the flow and allowing whatever to un...

One month into 2019 and I’m wondering how many resolutions have disappeared from mind, as quickly as the calendar has flipped January over into February. (Yes, I still have a calendar hanging up on the kitchen wall - no google calendar for me yet!) We usually begin the...

We are all aware when an unexpected or traumatic transition happens, such as the beginning or ending of a relationship, starting a new job, facing a health challenge, coping with the death of a loved one; or the milestone transitions of a marriage or birth. But what ab...
