Stress is our favorite antagonist. We like to blame it for cancer and chronic illness. We complain that it tears apart our marriages and our friendships, undermines our productivity, and quite literally keeps us awake at night. We stress about how much stress we are under. But, when we get clear on all this, we [...]
A few days ago I had the opportunity to talk with George Noory on Coast to Coast AM. What a fantastic experience. George is gracious and smart and the listeners bowled me over with their wisdom, curiosity and courage. This week, we’ll continue the conversation that we started there, here, with posts on intuition and [...]
About a year ago, I mixed things up around her. In a big way. Well, sort of. I mean it felt like a big way. I moved my computer mouse from the right side of my desk, where it could be easily reached by my dominant right hand, to the left side of my desk. [...]
Last week I was watching my kids compete over who could make their ice cream cone last the longest. As adults we would usually find ourselves gobbling down that ice cream as fast as possible between work, school, gym, carpools, and countless errands. Well grownups, we are missing out.

I just finished a book project – or at least the really hard part. My daughter is at a friend’s house. My husband at work and for the first time in nearly five months I’m alone at home without a deadline looming. I’m trying to regroup and get centered again I’m letting things settle. My [...]
If you find it super hard to sit in the silence and meditate, don’t give up just mix it up and try practicing mantra meditation. What is Mantra Meditation? A mantra is a phrase or word or sound that you repeat aloud or to yourself throughout the duration of the meditation session. It can also [...]
It takes more than a change of location to access the benefits that come with a vacation like better sleep, (even when you return), a healthier heart, better immune function, lower stress, and more joy.
