Several years ago I read a really great book written about how our homes are often a reflection of our subconscious, or hidden aspects of ourselves and our lives. The author of the book, House as Mirror of Self: Exploring the Deeper Meaning of Home, is Clare Cooper Marcus, an architect, NOT a feng shui […]
Got an email from a client today that pretty much sums up what I’m hearing from many people: I feel like I have been experiencing a lot of negativity lately (lots of bad luck, sickness, death, things going wrong etc.). I was wondering if you knew of any small things I can do to increase […]
It’s exciting to see a television show on NBC that embraces spiritual callings and the journey. Manifest has 3 seasons, but I didn’t notice it until recently on Netflix. I was attracted to the name, of course, having a double meaning. The premise of the show is an airline flight that went missing and reappeared […]
(excerpt from draft of my newest book on earth energy connection and healing) The COVID pandemic has provided us with many interesting dynamics. For the first time in human history, the entire planet has been put on pause. There is nowhere on the Earth that has not be impacted by this virus. We cannot run […]

Our human wellbeing is directly linked to the wellbeing of this planet. This isn’t some crazy, far-fetched idea. In fact, it’s pretty logical and I don’t believe anyone would contest it. It seems pretty reasonable, that if our planet is trashed, so we will be, too. The sad thing is that our modern culture has […]
Coming out of 2020 I have deep gratitude for the space that allowed me to sink into my soul. I was able to delve more deeply than ever into spiritual studies and practice. I deepened my lifelong studies in astrology from both a personal and global perspective. I took several courses in depth psychology, dreams, […]
I love to take a walk on a previously unknown trail in the woods. The feeling of discovery! Secret, narrow, winding paths are the best. Would you agree? And on such a walk today with my husband and Sadie (yes the cute one!) I was again reminded of the mirror and metaphor between our encounters […]
Have you ever saw or heard something that you’ve experienced thousands of times, yet it felt like the first time? They call that “shoshin” in Zen Buddhism…beginner’s mind. Shoshin refers to having an attitude of openness, eagerness, and lack of preconceptions when studying a subject, even when studying at an advanced level. I’ve been practicing […]
