Poem of My Life

This is a poem about my life. It is very raw and real and the truest thing I know, for me. It is the story of my existence. I feel like I’ve had two lives… I’ve been two people… the person I was before my family, and the person I have become, almost instantly, after becoming a mother. The person I was before… I don’t love to think about her. I was creative and full of energy, but also full of nerves and never ever comfortable in my own skin. Often critical of others and preferring to compete with life […]

Thoughts on Health… Fibromyalgia

When you follow your bliss, doors open where you would not have thought there would be doors, and where there wouldn’t be a door for anyone else. – Joseph Campbell This one is personal. I carry all of my tension in my neck and shoulders. Painful trigger points, tension headaches, tenderness in my upper back and neck so strong that at times I can’t even wear a bathing suit or a sports bra or a ponytail, or anything pulling on my neck at all… sometimes, even a necklace is too much, has me on my knees begging for mercy. I

My Baby

This huge guy, running at me across the living room, is my little baby. Turning 7. Waaaaahhhhhh! In one weekend, he turns from a young child (6) to an older kid (7)… or at least that is how it feels to me. Oh my goodness, to top it off, he lost his second tooth as well. I love you forever and ever Miles. No matter how big your feet get. Even though we wear the same size shoe (what the heck?!?! You are 7 years old!?!? How come I have to order us both the same sized Crocs?). And even

My Favorite Thing… In the Bedroom

Blues and greens and browns… soothing to me. And if you recognize those curtains, yes… they used to be in my dining room! This week’s My Favorite Thing is the bedroom… and I’m just warnin’ ya, there are going to be a LOT of pictures! What I love most is that clump of pictures hanging right on the wall… Here is my bedroom… although I don’t get to see it like this much. Picture the bed messed up, the pull out love seat opened up into a sofa bed, tons of Legos everywhere, and lint and dog hair making an

Laughing at my face

My kids are constantly breaking down my walls for me, and I feel like a newer, lighter human being because of their joy and love. Damn we are lucky to have our kids, aren’t we? Seeing the natural overwhelming beauty that my daughter possesses blows every other preconceived notion of “beauty” out of the water for me. Barbie doll? Ridiculous. Laughable to me, even. And here is how… My daughter takes one look at the towers of catalogs and models that wait for us each day in our mailbox… people who are so beautiful that they are getting paid for

Thoughts on Health… healing always comes from YOU

I am elbow deep working on several health collages… I’ve got some good ones for you, including the Immune System (thank you Gabrielle for the recommendation!)… Fibromyalgia… Ear… Eye… Knee and Hip… but none are ready to show you just yet. So in the meantime, I had a thought on health that I was discussing with my kids yesterday. I was out and about with them, driving in the car, and somehow we were talking about antibiotics. I made the point to them that antibiotics are not what heals you… the antibiotics work to slow down the replication process of

Kindred Spirit, part 2… and last chance to enter the Give-a-way!

Last week, I introduced my friend Aleka and her extrodinary way she views health and healing. Check out her introductory blog post here. This week, she’s back to focus more specifically on how our physical symptoms of illness can lead us down the path of true, karmic healing. It is fascinating and thought provoking. She is generously giving a free hour long session to one lucky reader! To enter, just leave a comment on this post… I’ll announce the winner on Friday. You do not need to live in the area to enter… she can do the session in her
