    • The Power of Opposites (Part 2)

      The Power of Opposites (Part 2)

      In my earlier post about opposites, we explored that the energy of opposites, and knowing opposites, is where some of the juicy life we want occurs. I want to take that a step further and talk about the growth that happens between opposites as it applies to our…
    • Live in the Moment

      Live in the Moment

      It may seem like a worn out thought, living in the moment, but there’s something wise and profound about that idea. The hours I’ve spent living for a moment instead of in the moment are too numerous to count. I wonder how much I could have accomplished if…
    • The Power Of Opposites

      The Power Of Opposites

      Let’s explore the power of opposites. Chaos and calm, noise and peace, anger and joy, hungry and full, sad and happy, …peace and opportunity. Sure, we all strive for happiness, joy, peace, wealth, and grace in our lives. We all want more of that, right? How do you…
    • Where’s Mom and Dad When I Want Them?

      Where’s Mom and Dad When I Want Them?

      Where’s Mom and Dad when I want them? And why can’t they give me what I’m looking for? When I was in the throes of trauma recovery, I had an image in my mind about the support I was looking for from my parents. (Note: I was a…

      Mood Swings

      Mood swings and trauma recovery are a real thing. Sometimes the world seems as right as rain. Then there are those times when our internal world struggles to make a smile come out. Kind, supportive thoughts seem elusive. This is a natural momentum. Emotions feel like they are…
    • Family Dynamics

      Family Dynamics

      Family dynamics get interesting under any condition. When trauma happens, either within a family or to someone in the family, things can change how a family relates to itself. I’m sharing these thoughts from my perspective and the impact being raped had on my family. I can’t possibly…

    • Trust Talk

      Trust Talk

      Let’s talk about relationship dynamics when it’s hard to trust. This applies to friends and family for sure, but I’m drawing this point more narrowly to spouse or partner relationships. You find your ‘one.’ You tie the knot. In the beginning, it feels like you have every reason…
    • The Sweet Spot

      The Sweet Spot

      Watch out for the sweet spot! Maybe yours is finding the perfect place on the head of a golf club to smack that little white ball into the playing field. Or maybe you’re having a conversation and the perfect timing happens for you to say something. Oh, then…
    • Coming Out of the Woodwork

      Coming Out of the Woodwork

      Now that my memoir, Invisible Wounds: An Inside Story, is published, amazing connections are coming out of the woodwork. It’s scary to write a story about the most horrific thing that happened to me. Some people I know are aware of this story, and others are not. I…

      Memoir Excerpt 2

      That memoir of mine is getting close to being finished. It’s looking like the middle of May is going to be the sweet spot! I’ll keep you posted! In the meantime, how about another brief excerpt? This excerpt is from a chapter on vulnerability. (She recognized her vulnerability…

      Just a Person Navigating this World

      I’m just a person navigating this world. I post a lot of information about emotions, about ways of thinking, and I’m even dabbling in some insights about intentional living. What are my credentials (you might ask)? Some people believe that thoughts and ideas need a paper credential to…
