Crystal Grid
Lately crystal grids have been showing up in my life. I’m familiar with the concept of crystal grids but never really worked with one. Until recently. I love crystals and have them all over the house. I know the names of most of them and the properties of about half of those from memory. Big […]

Crying Tears
Recently I was reading through the final proof of my upcoming book, Uncertain Grace, when I realized how much I had mentioned crying in the book. The whole experience was an emotional roller coaster and I often expressed not only my sadness but also my sense of overwhelm through tears. Crying is a part of […]
Cortisone
Cortisone shot. Just hearing the words can cause a visceral reaction in the body. If you’ve ever had one it hurt, if you watched someone get one it looked like it hurt.

Can you smell it? Asparagus pee that is. If you are a smeller you might be surprised to find out that not everyone is. As much as half of the population doesn’t smell asparagus pee. For the sake of full transparency, I admit that I am a smeller. The first time it happened was freaky. […]
5 Natural Ways to Beat bloating
Bloating. That oh-so uncomfortable feeling in the gut. Often it rears its ugly head after a large meal. Or a small meal. Or a snack. Or… How can you figure out what’s causing it? Perhaps you already have some wise de-bloating habits like avoiding foods you know give you gas. But that’s not completely solving […]
International Self Care Day
When he showed me the picture I let out a shriek and turned away. Maybe it was a little dramatic, but I had a different picture in my mind. You see the picture was of me. I was in the middle of a flowing creek having what felt like a Zen moment to me, but […]
