Home is not a place
Winter is a time to turn inward. I appreciate the stillness of a snowy day. The quiet as the snow lands on the earth is comforting. A blanket under which we hear our own thoughts more clearly. December reminds me that a new year is approaching. I clean out my desk, my closets, and the…

What’s in a name?
When I’m in New York City, I never, or I should say, rarely, encounter questioning about my name or credential’s. We are a melting pot. People generally don’t make assumptions based on your name, they take the time to get to know you. When I’m traveling outside of the city, to different states, I encounter…

Narratives
Lately I have noticed a trend where people are so strongly attached to their narrative(s) that they project them onto others. They try to make their version of reality universal. Everyone’s truth, path and experinces are different and unique. Real connection and bonds come from listening and not projecting. When people project stories or narratives…

Inyeon
Inyeon, a Korean Buddhist philosophy, is described as the invisible thread binding us across lifetimes. There are people who we meet that feel instantly comfortable and familiar. There is a recognition that they are connected to us without our knowing them for very long. Karmic forces connect us to those we have unfinished business with.…

Two Feathers
There has been a lot of movement of energy around me. The other day I asked my husband if he was feeling it too. He acknowledged it. Doors opening and closing with the wind. The unseen breath of life, natures messenger seeking attentio . Reminding us that it is best not to resist its flow.…

Words
The words we speak hold great power. They can help others in difficult times or bring them down through harsh judgements. Through all of our experiences the energy of our words and those of others will impact us. Words have great energy, they are powerful. Imagine if we only choose words that help and heal.…

Doors Open
Sometimes our journeys on one specific path come to a screeching halt. We may not have planned it. We may not have thought about it, but universal forces have conspired. They have decided for us. All of a sudden we think about possibilities. When we get too comfortable, perhaps it’s not a good thing. Things…
