Denese's non-judgmental ear made it easy for me to be honest about my feelings. She gave me the space and tools to find the answers I was looking for with suggested books, internet articles, websites, dietary changes, and encouragement to follow my passion which is writing. Most importantly Denese helped me realize that some things are unanswerable. That the joy of life lives in the possibilities and the less time we spend trying to pin them down, the more time we have to enjoy the moments. What I loved ...

If it sounds pretty, it’s not practice other a-ha’s from my music teachers. I’ve shared this book, “Daily Rituals, how artists work,”. With my music teachers,. As a thank you for all they do. Summer school is out, woohoo! An artist has to shape their day in such a way that keeps resistance at bay. Outsiders might think it is natural and comes easy. If i have learned anything it is that,. This is soooo not true. It takes daily dedication to hone a craft,. And uber diligence to stay on track. I don’t quest...

Bossypants on a bra, beauty and more. I’m trying to keep my summertime reading light. Light, meaning semi-un-educational-or-. I walked right on by t his section.

One of the things i love about Ashtanga yoga is that every practice begins with a prayer. Actually, a chant, in sanskrit. One that, if you walked in without knowing what was going on, might make you wonder what this is all about…. It’s about gratitude. that’s it. Not a bad way to start every. single. day. When i practice yoga, i say this chant to myself…. When i start my day, i say a prayer, inspired by that chant, in my own words, with a little help from The Four Agreements. And Marianne Williamson 😉.

All I ever wanted to be was a waitress. This week’s #LetsBlogOff. Asks, “What did you want to be when you grew up? They might as well have asked, “What’s the purpose of your life? 8221;- that’s how seriously I’ve pondered this question throughout my life. Maybe it’s because I didn’t have children, but my work has always been my world. I care deeply about how I spend my days. When my work isn’t right, I’m not right. The older I get, the more important it becomes. I’m especially thankful for my online rela...

A plant-powered pizza party: cauliflower pizza crust, kale salad, avo choco mousse, coconut milk whipped cream. Pizza is my world. The only thing that prompted giving cauliflower pizza crust a go was Robert and I were doing a Whole30. 30 days w/o grains, dairy, sugar, alcohol, etc, etc) and I happened to be hosting a movie night/pizza party right in the middle. Google delivered all kinds of options. I chose this one. Many out there had lots of mozzarella, even bacon (yikes) in it. Totally unnecessary.

I had a wave of panic…. Words to Live By. I had a wave of panic a few years ago, when i was in a yoga workshop and the question was asked, where in your life is there potential disaster? The first thing that came to mind was not making an effort to get to know my dad as the cool dude that he is. I go to dad when i’m serious. surprisingly, he’s never phased. (hhhmmm. maybe mom has prepped him…? He picks me up at my door. he pays. he is thoughtful. a gentleman. Dad is a really cool dude. Happy birthday, dad.
