Love the One You’re With

Love the one you’re with and that would be you. Bryon Katie, author I’m about to overflow with insights and revelations. If I didn’t have so many deadlines this week, I’d grab my journal and pens, head for the nearest cave with a…

Letting Go

As I write the theme for this post in the subject line above, I can feel half my body applauding loudly and the other half saying, “Really?!” Sitting at my desk at work right now surrounded by tax forms, to-do lists, contracts to review…

I Love My Body

I celebrated my 45th birthday over this past weekend. But I didn’t feel social (unusual for me). I just felt a strong pull to nest, rest and reflect—read more—so much so that I cancelled my long-anticipated workshop with Shiva Rea and…

Ritual

My baby sister, now 30, was only 16 when my father died and 19 when my mother died. Being 14 years her senior, our relationship is a blend of sister/mother/mentor. But that’s changing. She is having a baby, and I’m over the moon! Yesterday…

Right Here, Right Now

Following a rich, connective one-day self-renewal retreat I facilitated on Friday, I attended and volunteered at GenAustin’s statewide We Are Girls Conference at the Ann Richards School for Girls all day Saturday. It was an emotionally intense…

Feeling the Mystery

I just returned from a weekend yoga retreat at the rustic, quiet Margaret Austin Retreat Center, two hours east of Austin. The weekend was led by two beautiful, gifted Vinyasa yoga teachers from Yoga Yoga (my yoga “home”). They did a wonderful…

Pause

I was recently visiting with a friend and reminded her I’d be gone this coming weekend to attend a women’s retreat. I could see her pause for a while, before she replied (we had just been discussing how challenging it can be on a family…

Meet Me on the Mountain Top!

Early last week, after our son went to school, my husband and I took an early morning walk together. This doesn’t happen often. Like most families, the mornings are usually very full. But we feel certain my husband will be working again…
