In our current home, the land and the oak groves spoke to me. I knew the house had potential. While the land had been neglected, it felt such a privilege to be the new steward and offer it some much needed and deserved love and attention. After an eighteen month remodel, our small ranch outside of Austin finally feels like home. This iconic tree keeps my feet on the ground while simultaneously inspiring me to look within and connect to a higher force.

Today is a full moon.
Spring Equinox, Full Moon and a Lunar Eclipse— what does this beautiful spring time hold?
As many of you know I love to follow the moon cycles. In my daily journal I record where the moon is in it’s monthly rotation. When I follow the cycles I can be more aware of a new Moon (begin again), waxing Moon (building energies), full Moon (surf the wave) or waning Moon (revision energies) and also to be more compassionate with myself and others during high intensity lunar periods, such as a full Moon or eclipses.

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.

I believe everyone has a story to tell.
Have you ever felt inspired to write your memoir, perhaps captured ( or to be) in your journal or diary’s reflections? Is there something you feel compelled to share— stories to leave with your family as a legacy or for a reader to benefit from your experience?
There are lots of reasons to want to write a book. For me, it was an outpouring. To transcribe my life’s experiences. To write about the stress as my role as an NICU nurse and then as a mother of a sick child.

Home, is where you are most fully yourself— the place you belong.

As long as I can remember people refer to me ( and I consider myself) a home body. I love to be at home.

We’ve been watching the Olympic Winter Games. For me, they seem to bring the world a little closer. To see different country’s topography, customs— and how the incredible true grit of the athletes brings them to the top of their game and represent their countries.
As well as the sports I find the personal stories equally inspirational, like the USA Olympic cross country skier, Jessie Diggins who inspired many as she shared her struggles of a teenage eating disorder.

I went to Golden, Colorado last weekend. To recall the feeling as we drove up from Santa Fe is like trying to create the definition of autumn— a magical mix of crisp cool mountain air, brilliant golden fields of aspens nestled against a backdrop of deep purple mountains with ethereal white peaks. For me, the scenery created a soulful vibe that fall always brings. To take time and step out of my day-to-day coupled with the excitement of learning a new technique (from the comfort of an old friend) was a tonic to soothe my soul.

I can feel the change. The last few weeks of this sweet summer are shifting. Wearing a sweater in the morning and lighting a fire to warm the chilly evenings, signals the whispers of autumn are approaching.
This summer I tended to my soul. For the first time in a long time, I took a pause.
I set an intention to create a summer dedicated to do exactly what I felt like doing. An experiment. What could happen? These past summer days, I mostly longed to fill my time outdoors— by myself, or with family and friends.
