This is one day of many that will pass before my eyes when I’m leaving, like lights in water, flickers of fire that burn while I’m saying goodbye This is the day when my daughter swam around the edge of the pool and demanded “Give me space Mom, you swim the other edge” and I […]
The Numb Adults are Losing: A tale of what is possible
In the last few months, I have conversed with two different young people (both mid-twenties) who told me they do not have computers, barely text, and don’t have smart phones.

She’s the Master of Presence
I’m focused on the practice of presence. The practice of my own soul-presence in my body resonating out and watching how the mind interrupts this juicy experience with stories and memories of fear. I have every good reason to run fear through my nervous system (based on what I have lived through) but now I don’t need […]

Love or Fear, choosing again…
I wake up, like most people I know, churning in worry, have-to’s, supposed to’s, and what- is-wrong questions. Then, on a good day, I turn inward and choose again to open. I choose love. I choose to let go of trying to control and open to the unknown. I fall. I fall off the cliff […]
Dance Party with Mama and T, slow it down…
Hey ya’ll, this is a slow motion capture of a dance party with me and my 3 year old. You can see how in sync we are and the joy that we step into when we move our bodies to music. What a joy!
Living with an Enlightened Being
For me, my daughter points the way. All day long, she points me in the direction of opening. She shows me how to do it. She thrives at a level way beyond my usual, daily suffering. She reaches towards me with her big, fearless heart and says “Go this way” and when I follow her, […]
