Ripe

I just returned from Big Bend National Park Sunday night with my husband and son. I sat out under a million stars, galaxies and a moon so bright it hurt my eyes. I experienced deafening quiet. I walked across deserts and over boulders until…

Waves

This past weekend, my family headed to the Texas coast for a 48 hour date with Mother Nature. We have not taken a vacation since my husband was laid off last summer from his software job (he’s on a short-term contract gig right now) and…

I Choose Love

Twelve years ago, right before I got married, I vividly remember living in an apartment in central Austin with my husband-to-be and reading Return to Love by Marianne Williamson. The book’s messages changed my life. The core theme that I…

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…

Letter to Luca

From the time I was a little, I always felt babies were special (being the oldest of seven children, I got lots of practice welcoming newborns into the world). I always believed they were much more than blobs growing into themselves (check…

Imagine A World Where ……

A few days before Thanksgiving, I attended a yoga class. As I lay on my back relaxing before the teacher began, I could hear the light, easy, excited chatter in the room. You could feel the anticipation: a holiday break was coming! Why were…

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…
