Listen more here… As I talked about yesterday, we are all on our own journey of self-discovery.

RELATIONSHIP APATHY
Sharing a bit of myself with you, my passion, on this first Monday in May… Relationships are our life blood. Intimacy is progress but can be intimidating. Embrace the intensity of emotion but never forget that you are not the only one in the room.
MORNING LOVE: SUNSHINE
I hope you enjoy my post this morning. I did it at sunrise. My favorite time of day. Even if I don’t get a chance to witness it, the early morning, early riser in me recognizes and appreciates that it is a new opportunity to create. A new opportunity for the capacity that is withinContinue reading “MORNING LOVE: SUNSHINE”
MONDAY LOVE: PASSION & PURPOSE
People seem to have a love/hate relationship with stress. I think in some ways, being stressed means they are more important, have more responsibilities, and that the person who is not anxious or worried has it easy or is just sailing through life. I hardly believe that it is only people with great responsibility andContinue reading “MONDAY LOVE: PASSION & PURPOSE”
I want to wish all my friend a special holiday weekend. As someone with an ultra curious mind, I read up about the similarities between Easter and Passover. While they are different in many ways, fundamentally they are ground in a deep and rich history and yet, at the same time focus on renewal andContinue reading
TUESDAY LOVE: ITS ABOUT ME
Our energies are often focused on communication with others and listening, that we forget the most important person: ourselves. Sending a little Tuesday love your way via audio…or you can read on… Why do we sometimes let the ugliest parts of ourselves – , selfishness, insecurities take center stage through judgement and criticism of others?Continue reading “TUESDAY LOVE: ITS ABOUT ME”
Amor Fati
My best friend told me I should read the book, “The Obstacle is the Way.” I chose the audio version and LOVED it. The life I live is chock full of adversity and obstacles but over the past couple of years, I have chosen to think differently about it. Stress doesn’t have to be stressful.Continue reading “Amor Fati”
LOVE’S TRICKY PARTNER
Love every day. Find a reason, be the reason. The vulnerability in love- pain, pleasure, joy, sorrow is a malleable emotion needing its artist to discover and bring out its beauty. Be ready to celebrate. Do not be fooled, love is not a fickle emotion, that is merely its facade. It is lust that isContinue reading “LOVE’S TRICKY PARTNER”

SINGLE’S GUIDE TO VALENTINE’S DAY
I’m a veteran at navigating Valentine’s day – I haven’t had a “valentine” in over 15 years. Don’t pity me. Being alone and being lonely, are separate states of mind. I understand that holidays are a time for special recognition. A reminder, in our busy lives to appreciate those relationships that matter most, in whateverContinue reading “SINGLE’S GUIDE TO VALENTINE’S DAY”

PUTTING THE “GENTLE” BACK IN MEN
This blog post was originally written in 2010 from an old Typepad blog I had. It has since been adapted. If there is one animal that should be on the “extinction list” it is, the gentleman. I’ve lived in NYC for 16 years now and have been been a girlfriend, a friend with benefits, aContinue reading “PUTTING THE “GENTLE” BACK IN MEN”
A TUESDAY CHAT
I am always talking about personal growth. There is no secret to it. Perspective is the key. It creates mindset, confidence in decision-making and behavior. It also fosters compassion. There is no goal, rather a fluidity of awareness that allows us to navigate situations and relationships with skill and more importantly, dexterity.
LETTER OF LOVE
I do love you. Remember these words. Know them and feel them even when you are not sure. Though, you should always be sure at just how pure and true it is. The good, the bad and all of the times in between, moments of love drip slowly into it all. Love on its own.Continue reading “LETTER OF LOVE”

They were discussing his career in the military, and transition into civilian life, once he retired. Dakota mentioned a conversation with General Mattis, in which the General said, ” Don’t let this experience ofContinue reading “POST TRAUMATIC GROWTH”
