With this new year and new decade, I have been contemplating my contribution to the whole. It seems more important than ever to be aware and intentional with what we are putting into the world. We need a strong counter force to address the many ills of our society. This idea showed up during my […]
How interesting that impermanence is what’s facing me as we move into the new year. There is a somber and an exhilarating message to this concept that I’d like to share. It seems fitting as we consider 2020, a new and likely auspicious decade. The somber part of impermanence has to do with death and […]
This holiday can be a glorious time for family unity or it can be tough if your family is not close or unified. For years now, I’ve been hosting a holiday party for friends and a holiday dinner for friends without family nearby. It makes for a lively way to share the spirit of the […]
Do you have a mindfulness and compassion practice? It’s interesting to note that these two things have become linked in exercises and are being used to increase our ability to cope. Now is a great time to bring these skills into play. Mindfulness and compassion are practices that can be easily learned. While mindfulness is […]
During a trip to Chicago, I was particularly aware of the people who make a difference. I went to hear Dr. Ron Siegel speak on Mindfulness and Compassion, and while he is one making a difference, it was also the everyday people I encountered in travel that impressed me.

Having just taken a little out-of-town trip with a group of friends and while there, rendezvoused with a childhood girlfriend I haven’t seen in 22 years, […]
I am always surprised to learn about the old baggage people carry. The thoughts are never good. They may look great on the outside, but inside they think things like: “I’m not good enough, I’m stupid, I have to be perfect, I can’t trust anyone, I have to please everyone”. In a three-day clinical training […]
Does managing your anxiety take work? Consider the good news from neuroscience that says we can make it better. Anxiety certainly seems to be pervasive, judging on how often I see it in those I serve. One of the differences between us and other animals is we haven’t perfected ways of releasing it like they […]
It’s been a time of interesting lessons on trust. As my husband, Lee, transitions out of his long-term career into something amorphous in the music business, I have been uneasy.
