Today I want you to know that all of your efforts make a difference. I want you to understand and feel deep in your bones that everything you put your energy toward carries your love in a way that heals. It’s all worth it. It’s all witnessed. It’s all seen. It is seen by the…

A message from love: Never underestimate your heart. If you could see yourself through its eyes, you would never doubt yourself. It is not always easy to have a big heart. You were born for this challenge. You already have the capacity you need to give and receive love. You always have enough when it…
Read More83
My dad took this photo of my mom and me about 42 years ago. Today my mom turns 83 and soon I turn 46. What a blessing it is to have been given all these moments to become who we are today and experience all the human things that life offers. Nothing is promised and…
Read MoreSpring Equinox
A simple, sincere celebration. Today I only had a moment to honor the Spring Equinox. I spotted the first purple hyacinth I’ve seen this year blooming wild in the grass. I felt humbled by her beauty and freshness. I couldn’t look away for the longest time because of how fleeting Spring wild flowers can be.…

I’m thinking about my friend and client, Rivka Wendy Faith. She’s gone. Ending her life was her final decision. I honor her and I will miss her. She was always so warm and kind to me when I saw her. She’d come over to my house to work on her website and bring me tea,…
