“The fastest way to break the cycle of perfectionism and become a fearless mother is to give up the idea of doing it perfectly – indeed to embrace uncertainty and imperfection.” Arianna Huffington Quote from the book Mom’s the Word: The Wit, Wisdom and Wonder of Motherhood, by Allen Klein It can be hard to [...]
This time of year one of our favorite topics of discussion isn’t of love or gratitude, compassion or meaning – it’s about the madness – the stress surrounding the season. We talk about how busy we are how much we have to do and how can we never get it all done. And, our lives [...]
Spiritual rehab is about being plugged in to our True Essence for guidance, wisdom and peace and that’s essential if we are going to align with mind/body/spirit and become whole. But, how do we do this? Consistent spiritual practice is one way we can learn the tools we need to slow down our busy lives [...]
I’ve spent much of my life going after goals. Striving, creating daily to-do lists. That’s how I’ve achieved most of my life’s accomplishments—a Ph.D., a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, a teaching job, a number of published books, even my daughter. I wanted a healthy child, like pretty much everyone else seems to have. [...]

It’s about being with the energy of the Universe and letting it come through you, instead of trying my other technique which requires you to micro-manage the entire Universe. That is [...]
