Align with your merriment, dear ones. Life invites us into the business of merrymaking, no matter who we are and no matter how challenging our circumstances may be. Therefore, go ahead and fill your life with positive people. The kind who are kind. Who encourage you to be your best self. Go ahead and deliberately fill […]

Opposites
Tuesday, June 1st, 2021
We can all get caught in the trappings of feeling that we aren’t enough. Not pretty enough, strong enough, smart enough, successful enough. This can become a never-ending dizzy circle. The word “enough” implies there is some place of arrival, perfection, completion. Being who we are, on the other hand, can usher in light, hope, […]
Alignment
Friday, April 9th, 2021
I’ve been listening to some of my therapy clients talk about the importance of their internal lives being in alignment with their external actions and relationships.

True Belonging
Tuesday, October 20th, 2020
I will no longer pay a price to belong. True belonging is free. Have you ever found yourself in a group of people and fakely laughing at a joke that hurts people, or engaging in false intimacy with people through gossiping? Or perhaps saying or doing things out of simply wanting to belong? We all […]
Willy Wonka & a Rainbow
Friday, September 11th, 2020
I got my dress all wrinkly from playing, and that way of living makes this Gudrun Sjoden ensemble even more delicious than it already wonderfully is! What else would one do with a purple Willy Wonka jacket and a rainbow? And if you haven’t yet received my free guided meditation for you called “Worthy Eyes,” […]
