Some 20/20 for 2020: Every time we take action we are giving, so it’s kind of important to be aware of what we’re doing. Begin a practice of mindful giving in 2020.

Thoughts on change...

This has been a tough year. I am grateful for you...

As a holistic counselor and coach, exploring love is paramount. So often when a client comes in we spend a lot of time talking about what love is not and the havoc it wreaks, so when I came across this quote from Ann Landers I found it to be very refreshing. I hope you do too!

If you are intrigued there is likely a message in this story for you because with intuition the logic comes later...

My Valentine’s Day Blog is dedicated to my mom. A handful of you know that she left this world last summer at the age of 91. The Words of Remembrance I wrote in her honor were prompted by some cool stuff that happened the day following her passing and wound up being a conversation about love, gratitude and relationships. What better subjects for the holiday that celebrates love!
