I’m sitting in the back yard on my cabana. My husband left for a five-day men’s retreat in Vancouver and I was looking for some time alone. So, this is perfect and I get to do what I want when I want! I do miss our morning cuddles and pillow talk about how we slept and sharing our dreams. I also think about what it would be like to be single again. I’m sure I would like parts of it;…..
“We are never prepared for what we expect.” ~ James A. Michener My friend Mary and I embarked on a 2-day road trip adventure through Utah and Colorado before attending The Children of the Light Conference. I had skied in Utah and Colorado when I was in my 30’s and 40’s, but I never saw how beautifully green it is. I fell in love with the mountains all over again! Of course, we had to stop in at a dispensary…..
I had so much fun at a Spiritual Retreat in wine country in the beautiful city of Temecula. There was so much laughter, hugs and love to go around. There is something very powerful about women coming together to share experience, strength and hope with one another through story telling. I was inspired by the courage and strength I witnessed throughout the weekend. The topic for our Saturday meeting was Acceptance. One of my favorite sayings is “God, Grant me the…..
Last weekend was very special! I decided to combine a Women’s Retreat and Romantic Getaway with my husband in Temecula. Thursday night we were off to our quaint, private, Airbnb Casita! We found a wonderful restaurant in Old Town called 1909. Since we weren’t very hungry, we shared a shrimp appetizer and a delicious entrée. We walked a short distance and knew we wanted to come back in the morning to check this cute little town out. A warm 100-degree spa was…..
As I look upon this Mother’s Day, I reflect about being a mother and the joys and challenges that brings. I have been blessed with two wonderful sons who are now in their 40’s. Sometimes it’s hard to believe I have boys that age since I don’t feel a day over 30 – in my mind that is – my body is often another story! In spite of how unawakened I was in my earlier years, somehow I was able to…..
I had the great privilege of attending the Sat Nam Fest West that was held in Malibu Canyon in April. I loved the setting of being surrounded by abundant beautiful trees, which was a far cry from the dry, dusty desert of Joshua Tree where the Sat Nam Fest was held previously. I felt like I was being held in the womb of the Mother. My husband Gary was able to join me at the fest this year. It…..
When I was 14-years-old, I had a dream that my maternal grandmother died. When I woke up, I headed to our kitchen and found my mother in tears. She told me her mother died last night. I shared my dream and tried to comfort Mom. One year later, I had another dream that my maternal grandfather was getting married. I told my mother about the dream and she scoffed at it until the next week when she found out her…..
I had an amazing 10-day trip to Kono, Hawaii with 12 of us from different states all convening to share this special time at Banyan Tree Sanctuary. My good friend, Shawn Gallaway, was our trip facilitator and Jan Salerno was our dolphin guide. I enjoyed connecting with the awesome people who attended this Dolphin Tune retreat. Our morning started out with a moving chakra meditation followed by a hearty vegetarian breakfast. We all shared our stories as we got to…..
My sister, Andrea, flew home 3 days ago after a week long visit and I miss her already. We got along so well and there was good energy throughout the entire week. She arrived late Thursday night so we just chilled in the living room until it was time to go to bed. My husband and I had an appointment the next morning so that gave Andrea time to rest and have the house to herself with our 2 cats……
Today I am so much better than I was 2 weeks ago! It’s been a long journey to healing and I’m glad I finally arrived with the help of 4 healing angels – my chiropractor, acupuncturist, massage therapist and cranio-sacral practitioner. My sister, Andrea, was scheduled to visit me for 5 days starting February 16. Two days before her visit, I received a strong message from the universe that we needed to reschedule. I woke up that morning feeling…..
