Contemplative Practice: Finding Balance and Energy Everyday

I firmly believe our outer self undoubtedly reflects on our inner state of being. When I feel balanced and whole, you can see it in the brightness of my eyes, the clarity of my choices, and the circumstances in life.

Autumn is always a beautiful season of reflection, and with Thanksgiving approaching, join me in focusing on gratitude and balance in life. Re-visiting the tagline on my website’s home page above feels like a good check-in, a satisfying refresher.

Keep A Wider Perspective, Peace Comes From Within You

Do you remember the days when we didn’t have a cell phone? When Ron and I were out to dinner I left the restaurant’s telephone number with the babysitter in case of an emergency. These days I carry my cell phone with me most of the day. Often distracted by the ding of a text coming through, and 99% of the time it’s not urgent.

I feel now more than ever how essential it is to step back each day and see myself, and my relationship to others from another perspective, a different view— a wider lens. 

Through a new vision to see and FEEL more peace, compassion and joy.

Affirmations Help Us Roll In New Energies

My paint mare Coco makes me feel completely grounded and present in my own body— she communicates her thoughts, feelings and emotions (to me and other horses) through her body language— it’s up to me to pay attention. To learn to “speak horse” is to learn how to tap into a deeper awareness, keen observation and intuition. All of which apply to humans too.

Join me and invite opportunities into your life that ask you to keep pulling the thread. What brings you back to a connection to your true nature? A connection to others (animal and human) and a sense of real joy. If we commit to doing this, we are in alignment with our personal truewellbeing. In this place we are able to offer the best version of ourself to others. Language of the Soul: 52 Affirmations to Guide You is offered on a current Amazon deal for $3.36.

Our Most Important Relationship ?

Relationships are how we grow; they cradle and stretch us. Through connection and division, love and hurt, compassion and separation, they invite us to return again and again to the most important relationship we’ll ever have – the one with ourself, the sacred union that’s been waiting within.

The Master of my Fate, The Captain of My Soul

When I was ten years old, my dad took a sabbatical (and brought the whole family with him) to Johannesburg, South Africa.

After all of these years I can still recall certain vivid memories of that time. Decades before apartheid, in 1971 on a professor’s salary, our family of seven lived in Joburg. We had a modest white stucco house surrounded with a small fresh green lawn, protected by big white wall wrapping around us that made me feel safe.
