On Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving here in the states, I posted the following graphic and message on my Instagram account: This morning I opened my inbox to a flurry of emails offering “50% off” sales. It’s Black Friday, the day when consumerism is raised to the level of a national holiday. To me, it’s a […]

Death and loss have a way of inspiring growth and healing if you commit to the process and I’m very grateful to have done so. I normally […]

“Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” Carl Jung I love the wisdom of Carl Jung and dream work has played an influential role in helping me to understand myself so I can live a more conscious and awake life.

Do you have the guts?
This morning, while out for a walk, I listened to a Tim Ferriss podcast interview with Caroline Paul, author of Gutsy Girl: Escapades for Your Life of Epic Adventure.

Finding the good in goodbye
Today is an exemplary fall day. The skies are bright blue with a few pale, wispy clouds. The temperature is a cool and comfortable 60 degrees. There’s a lazy wind bending tree branches this way and that. And the sun is casting long shadows over the pots on the deck filled with the remaining flowers […]
