Perspective Guidance

In honor of Earth Day, I am taking an opportunity to drop into your field and chat about our personal responsibility to the Earth and how it begins with our responsibility to our Self. When we truly REMEMBER how much our bodies are capable of and we see the same in Mama Earth, then we are AWAKENING ...

“The more you know, the more you see.” ~ Aldous Huxley

We begin life in curiosity, so let us begin here: “What am I seeing in the world, how does it reflect what I know, and in essence, who I am being?” 

Perception is WHAT we see and experience through our humanness, our senses; its limitation is ...

Most of us were taught to say, “Thank you” when handed/gifted something, there were those of us that were told to send thank you cards, some of us were raised to say a blessing before meals, and most of us recognize that Thanksgiving provides an opportunity to be grateful, with our families and frie...

Letting go…What does it mean? Letting go…Why is it important?

What we experience in life is that things happen. People die, relationships end, jobs end, homes burn down, we lose things, and then we navigate these losses, and we often experience grief around them.

In life we flow from connection to disconnection and back again. What does that look like/feel like for you? What does being in connection mean to you?

As we step into Spring, I invite you to enter this magical season of renewal and birth with an awareness of how you are feeling.  Are you thriving or just surviving? By its nature, it is our planet’s innate desire to survive. Isn’t it amazing when you can feel the earth and its inhabitants reaching,...

Fall is the time for colder weather you say, well, that is eventually, at least for those of us in the Bay Area with our Indian Summer. As we begin to leave behind one of the hottest summers in California, in particular, the Bay Area with its record breaking temperatures, muggy days and thunderstorm...

What direction do I move in? This is a question that we might ask ourselves at almost every waking moment, whether consciously or unconsciously. I would like to propose that we are always making choices, in every moment. Other than our heart beating and other basic life giving automation that goes o...

A couple of weeks ago, I celebrated the 6th anniversary of my daughter’s birth which was preceded by a 54-hour labor. I am blessed and grateful for the entire experience, not only the actual birth of her body through mine but also the intensity we both experienced through the labor. Yes, it was hard...

Today has been a day of many emotions and with the events in the last 24 hours I felt a need to create my response to the status, the nature, the experience of our country in this one day post-election. Many thoughts are being shared, many feelings are being expressed and as I said in a Facebook pos...

During my life coach training we were given an assignment to come up with things that we can’t be with or in other words were hard to be with. As I looked at my life and the times that I was bothered, I came up with a few things like people being disrespectful, controlling, passive aggressive, deman...

I have an email community that I’ve been updating for years, chronicling Erika’s journey with Melanoma, the birth of our daughter, Erika’s transition and how our life continues in the next chapter.
