Welcome to my Blog!
I have a lifelong love of writing and learning. Blogging is a fantastic vehicle for me to share what I discover with you. I really enjoy the process of research – I consider it to be an informational “scavenger hunt”. Hence, I am committed to bringing to my readers the best information on subjects with which I am deeply connected. I’m not shy about my opinion, but I am careful to tell my readers whether I’m speaking about my preferences, my experiences, or research-driven information.
So whether you're interested in Space Clearing and feng shui or you're checking out my Liturgical Fabric Art or my musical compositions, make yourself at home and enjoy!

Consequently, the results have been nothing short of extraordinary, and my life’s work of helping people to achieve their goals through wellness and positive thinking is taking…

Have you ever felt torn between the need to speak your truth and the fear of what will happen if you do? I think of all of the metaphors that exist to describe what it feels like to hold back words that want to come out: holding or biting my tongue biting back the words…

I spend a great deal of time thinking about two things: wellness and our thought processes. I also spend a lot of mental energy on what it takes to be Happy and Healthy. Actually, these subjects are really two sides of the same coin and are inseparable. We literally become what we think, and it…

The morning was absolutely lovely. I enjoyed my breakfast and tea with my partner, our two cats, and bird, and was looking forward to seeing my clients and doing the bodywork I love. Before my first client of the day arrived, I was doing some last minute vacuuming. I heard a snapping sound coming from…
Read MoreI know – the last thing any of us needs is someone else blathering on and on about exercise and how important it is. We all know the health benefits of exercise. We all know that it is key to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. Blah blah blah… I am a complete slug at…
Read MoreThere’s that moment when a well-meaning friend or family member comes up behind you and says, “Your tag is showing.” They tuck it back into your shirt, and you go on with your day, confident that our label is where it is supposed to be – on the inside. We all walk around with a…
