It is completely possible to feel good. Think of a time when you are at your best—plenty of energy, clarity, and just plain happy? To feel this way is your natural state. Give your power to what and who empowers you. Choose your family. Choose your experience. Choose your rituals.

As we are all spending more time at home these days, let’s dedicate some energy into our dwellings and create a little cherished space.

And, if this is true, where does the soul live?

My intention and focus for these articles is to help parents build their emotional and physical capacity, whether that’s how to keep calm amidst chaos or tap into the pillars of great health. To learn how to nurture your connection first, which then radiates out to the entire family. To raise families who care — about themselves, about each other, and about the world around them.

Let’s get started. My first offering is all about how to create sacred space.

It was lots of fun doing this interview for one of my favorite magazines, Houston Family Magazine. I am excited to be launching my first article for a new monthly column in November. Stay tuned.
