Realizing a Dream – Creating a Safe Place to Challenge Ourselves and Live Brave
What does it feel like when a Dream Comes True? Last Sunday as I lay in Shivasana in the barn at Willow Pond Lodge on Whidbey Island looking out at the blue sky and cherry blossomed treetops, I was overcome with a wash of gratitude so deep it made my toes tingle. It...
They Say Curiosity Killed the Cat-
Forget that old adage- Curiosity is actually key to developing a healthier and happier life all the way around! A recent Gallup poll surveyed more than 130,000 people from over 100 nations, a sampling which statistically represents 96% of the world's population! (Now...
A Fresh Start
Out with the old and in with the new - I love my January rituals of purging and cleansing and clearing out what doesn’t serve me any more. Out goes the eggnog, the peppermint bark the chocolate santas; packed away are the fragrant green boughs and jingle bells and...
Welcoming the New Year With Intention
I began 2016 as I began 2015 - with a yoga practice. Last New Years was my inaugural foray into this ancient art. My theme for last year was self-care so I joined a group of healthy-looking souls and did my best to keep up with the stretches and reaches, the...

If only I could…
We all have one ... that dream, that idea that we can’t seem to quite find a way to imagine into being, that trip that we want to take but never seem to find the money to do so. There is that city we’d like to move to- or business we want to start but can’t figure out...
How to Live a Life Of Courage In Spite of Feeling Afraid
I am fascinated by courage- I always have been- I’m not talking about the firefighter/soldier/007 type of courage it takes to go into battle- although those people fascinate me as well- I’m talking about the everyday type of courage that it takes to live a rich and meaningful, purpose -driven life.
I am grateful for this process
As I created my “list of gratitudes” this past Thanksgiving I was reminded of how grateful I am for the gift of this work and the amazing people I have the privilege of walking alongside. I wanted to share a unique experience I had this fall with all of you. It was...
