Let’s Infect the World…with Love

Women's Empowerment
Yesterday, sitting arm to arm with my husband in the sanctuary of our church, I found myself wiping away tears every few minutes. My heart was swollen--it physically ached. At the end of the service while singing Angels We Have Heard on High,…

What Really Matters?

Women's Empowerment
Yesterday morning I found myself standing at my open front door staring out at a beautiful oak tree. Bathed in sunlight, I held a cup of lemon ginger tea in one hand and my to-do list in the other. I was waiting for a friend that I was helping…

Shifting

Women's Empowerment
Friday I got triggered. One of my team members told me they wouldn’t be available to help me this week as I prepare for several major events. I translated this into “I’m not supported in the world." And I immediately felt a strong…

We Need Each Other

Ritual

Women's Empowerment
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…

What the World Needs Now

Women's Empowerment

Support

Women's Empowerment
This past week I attended an Ashtanga yoga class with a new teacher (yep, that’s the sweaty, rhythmic style of yoga). I loved his approach. He was supportive and really encouraged students to ask questions and reach out for help. And, he…
