Once, A Tree Slapped Me
Hello beautiful soul! When I was in third grade, I established a friendship with the pine tree in my front yard.We would communicate almost daily, as I waited outside for my carpool ride. Since I was just 7 years old, I did not think it was odd to communicate with trees. I trusted this pine with my most challenging emotions. The tree would listen graciously and offer me full acceptance and wise counsel.We communicated through the space of my open heart. A few months ago, I was standing in my...
My Life Changed Forever
Hello beautiful soul! Picture this:It's September 2023 and I'm in a Sunday afternoon matinee with my daughter.She is starting college within a few days and I am wanting to spend all my time with her.We are watching the Barbie movie. While the previews play, I glance down at my phone.There are about 40 new payment notifications that have been made since I woke up that morning.That is a lot of payments in a short period of time.I am accustomed to receiving just a few new payments in any given...
I Used to Be Too Scared to Do This
Hello beautiful soul! Last week I celebrated a huge milestone: I recorded my 100th podcast interview! Years ago, I was struggling to make my work more visible to the world. A mentor told me that doing podcast interviews was an important path towards visibility. I was pretty sure I did NOT want to be on podcasts. *What if I was asked a question I could not answer? *What if I stumbled over my words and sounded silly? *What if the interviewer and I could not find common ground? *What if my...

I Almost Retired My Channeling Table
Hello beautiful soul! The table in this photo has quite a history. It began as a purchase from Pier 1 (remember Pier 1?) when I lived in Ohio about 20 years ago. It was intended to be used as a game table but rarely saw any use. Then it moved to Florida where it found its true purpose once I discovered channeling. It served as my channeling table and I served countless clients sitting at that table. Once, it was used as a meeting place where my father told my sister and I about our...
I NEVER used to make my bed
Hello beautiful soul! I can count on one hand the number of times I made my bed in my previous home in 2025. One hand. I never saw the purpose. If I'm just going to crawl back under the covers as soon as I read the news stories of the day,what was the point of making the bed? Even if the news wasn't horrifying (when was that ever the case?), I was still going to snuggle with my dogs later that nightand since my dogs do not value a neat bed.... What was the point? My mother tried hard to...
I’m Not Who I Thought I Was
Hello beautiful soul!In April of this year, I embarked on the emotionally and physically challenging experience of moving out of the home where I've raised my children. For months, I sorted through hundreds of household items to determine which ones would join me in my new home.Countless overstuffed plastic bags went onto the front porch as charity donations. At the same time, I was also cleaning out my childhood home —An equally enormous undertaking, as it contained over 40 years of...
I Cleaned Out His Closet and Cried
Hello beautiful soul!This weekend I cleaned out my father's bedroom closet. It's been 9.5 months since he left his body. It was time for me to gather up his remaining clothes. I've made previous visits to his closet with my kids, each time encouraging them to try on his clothes and take what they liked. Each time, holding my breath and silently hoping for every last sock and t-shirt to be a perfect fit. Then, I might be able to hold onto more of my dear Dad. For 44 years my Dad used that...
Don’t Be Afraid
Hello beautiful soul!Weeks ago, I noticed a beautiful iguana inside my patio enclosure. I had no idea how she entered so I kindly asked her to find her way back out. I waited. And waited. And waited. Weeks went by and still she clung to the sides of the screen, just out of reach of my net. I grew worried.She looked rather thin.I know what you're thinking....how does one determine if an iguana is too thin? She also appeared dehydrated.Again, I know what you're thinking.... I suspected she might...
