I promise not to convert this blog to weekly kitten stories, photos, and videos, but since it’s Labor Day weekend here in the states and I’m enjoying the last bits of summer, I thought I’d share a photo and video of our new furry kids. The ginger cat is the sweetest little boy we’ve named […]
Today’s a big day for our family. Nearly three years after losing our beloved cat, Poupon, Michael and I have rescued two kittens from our local no-kill shelter, Merrimack River Feline Rescue Society. I’m excited and a little nervous, but ready to add the joy and love that animals offer back into our lives again. […]
This week I’m taking a vacation from the blog and thought I’d share a Facebook Live event I did in late March to help you deal with the anxiety and stress of a changing world. During the session I offered: ~*~ A way to instantly calm your body to help reduce stress and anxiety. ~*~ […]
There’s nothing like a mandate to stay in one place to help us see how neurotic the mind can be. These days, as I spend most of my time at home, I’ve made it a practice to carefully watch my thoughts. The goal is to stay in present-moment time as much as possible because it’s […]

This week, I wanted to share my enthusiasm for learning by telling […]
Last night I went to bed feeling anxious for the world. This morning, I woke remembering who I am. I sat up, opened my journal to the last page, and read a note I wrote to myself a few months ago. Please feel free to steal this. Sweetheart, When you feel hopeless, frightened, or like […]
As the pandemic picks up steam in some parts of the country and we continue with restrictions, it seems we’re being invited to make a relationship with uncertainty whether we want to or not. As a result, I’ve made the decision to cancel our October retreat and have reserved new dates for next year – […]
