What It Means to Be a Mother
When you get to be a mother, every last aspect about your life changes. You are no longer a free wheeling satellite in the world. Instead you are part of a unit – a family – with or without a spouse. Your tiny plot of earth on which you stand just got doubled, and you […]

Paying it Forward Pays Off
I just was at Whole Foods buying a salad. The young woman in front of me discovered she didn’t have cash to pay for lunch. “Go on,” I heard my late daughter whisper in my ear. “Do the right thing, Mom.” She would have to run to her car, the young woman said to the […]

Getting Back to Peace
Sometimes religions talk about ‘the peace that passes all understanding.” Serenity is another word for it. Or maybe chill. To me this feels like a deep relaxation in my heart, a letting go, a longing for nothing. My jaw finally relaxes. My shoulders let go a little. I can breathe a little more deeply. And […]

Why I Drank Wine Every Night
If you are like me, this is how your evenings have often gone: Drag self into kitchen after a long day of work. Open fridge and stare hopefully. Something in here has to make me feel better. Eyes come to rest on an open bottle of Pinot Grigio. Pour the remains into glass. It’s kind […]

Opening Up to Abundance by Saying ‘No’
All of my life it’s been a challenge to believe I can really, truly have what I want. Often I have labored under the illusion that other people get to live their heart’s desire but I somehow can’t. But today I let go of a connection that wasn’t quite a right fit. It felt scary — […]

Update from a Grieving Mother (My Radical Life Reboot)
It’s been a year and a half since my daughter Teal dropped dead suddenly from an unexplainable cardiac arrest. And not only has my life radically changed, I am better for it. This is where I’ve been delivered — to a place of radical rediscovery. Of life, of love, and most directly, of myself. Most […]
