Eleven Life Lessons (or 2009, the Year that Kicked My Butt)
As I’ve said in the previous entry, every new cycle is an opportunity to look back and celebrate how far we’ve come. I don’t like the idea of beating ourselves up because we didn’t accomplish certain things (although I am guilty of doing that with some frequency). ...
2010…Begin Again
Christmas is done, and I have this urge to take down all of the decorations and put the tree out for recycling. I am interested in how many people I have heard express the same sentiment. I am ready to move forward with my life! 2009 has been a banner year for hard...

Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate, or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems painful can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for...
GET OFF THE HOLIDAY “CRAZY BUS”
I wrote this back in 2006, when I was fiercely examining how to reclaim the holidays as my own delightful invention, rather than something belonging to someone else that I was trying on. Many of us seem to blindly follow the crowd, as if in some sort of trance, when...
Please read…”Adults’ Responsibility in the Prevention of Child Sexual Abuse”
It seems to be in the media everywhere right now! Between Mackenzie Phillips, Oprah Winfrey, five men in one family arrested, and the movie "Precious", it seems the collective mind is attempting to bring up the heinous topic of sexual abuse. I hear many saying how...
