What comes first, the feeling or the action?
Hey happy Tuesday! I am sitting in the airport, waiting for my flight home from the SHiNE Dance Fitness retreat. It was so much fun to dance with more than 50 other ladies who love it as much as I do! We just got notice that our flight is delayed, so I opened up my...
Mini-mobile VOICE Retreats
A few weeks ago, I held my first mini-mobile VOICE Retreat, and it was a lovely success. It was a wonder-filled weekend with lovely ladies--finding alllll the fountains--especially the ones within ourselves. I will be doing more mini-mobile VOICE Retreats every other...
The Affirmation Filter
My thoughts today are all about affirmations. We have been working on a car for my son who will turn 16 in December. He just bought a used BMW that had a few oil leaks and was in need of repair. As always, I like to find metaphors in life--that oil leak...

I Need A Massage!
I recently returned from two really amazing and really exhausting trips almost back to back … and I had committed to yet another two almost immediately after that. I typically love to travel, but I could feel myself being drained. I had bags under my eyes (which is...
Is The Grass Really Greener?
The other day, while I was in the checkout line at Walmart, I met a family from Germany. I always get super excited when I meet people from Europe because … Well...I LOVE Europe! I always say I should be French or Spanish or Indian or Canadian or… I love them...
Growing Pains
I don't know what it is about Huntington Beach, but something about it is super grounding for me. There's obviously a pretty view, but it's more than that. Maybe it’s because my family has come here every year since my husband and I have been married. Regardless...
