I Choose Love … Again

Serving Up Self-Compassion

Mindfulness
Yesterday I felt like I was swimming through mud. I was feeling judgmental and self-critical and everywhere I turned, all I could see were barriers and road blocks. During my morning meditation (the one thing that usually always cleans my…

Self-Compassion

Self-Care
Last week I had a day where I felt like I was swimming through steel cut oatmeal (as my west Texas therapist friend Donna likes to say). I was judgmental and finding fault with every person, group, situation, scenario I was bumping up against. And…

Waves

I Choose Love

Self-Care
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

I Love My Body

Self-Care
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…

What Would Your Wise Self Say?

Life Balance
I am the oldest of seven children and at the ripe old age of 44, the matriarch of our family. (My parents died suddenly in their fifties, all our grandparents have passed and we have no living aunts or uncles.) Out of the six of us who are…
