CHANGE HAPPENS

There will be changes in your life that may rock your foundation and your routines. Maybe you used to meditate or walk miles or lift weights for 30+ minutes for your health every day.  However, a recent situation, has you feeling distracted, less energy or le...

If we do not take breaks, or a brief walk throughout our day to reset our mind and body... will we do it once we get home or once we are done working (for those of us that work at home)? Will the 'work' or the 'stuff' calling your attention continue until you drop into your ...

Do you know anyone you would call an "energy vampire"? You know?... that constant complainer, the victim, the one that acts like "it's all about me" or always comes to you with their problems? 

"Not-Not Mine..."

How do we protect ourselves when the energy vampire is someon...

Listen to your body before it shuts you down...

• In what ways are you pushing through instead of taking care of yourself today?
• How can you prioritize healing when you need it?

As a parent, a partner, a colleague, etc... sometimes the stance of "not my problem" is appropriate. Allowing others to solve the problem themselves (and not jump into fix-it mode) can be empowering and an important growth opportunity. However when "not my problem" is used t...

It is easy for me to get caught up in all the tasks and things to do in a day or a week. My lists are long. When I focus on that long list of tasks... it is like sitting at the beach and noticing each one of the grains of sand and comparing each of them to something that I a...

I was sitting in the waiting room of my oncologist's office.  It felt so long since I had sat in this chair and yet it also felt like I had just been here.  It had been 3 months.  The closer this appointment loomed on my calendar, the more anxious I felt about it.  Every sin...

What does healing mean to you?

I have been asked this question so many times while on my breast cancer journey by others and myself.   I have had some time to ponder this.  Healing for me has been finding and nurturing meaningful connection with my whole self... the physic...

I was a little nervous.  I took a deep breath and began to dial her number.  I didn't know her - here I was calling a complete stranger to ask her about something as personal as her Breast Cancer experience. She was a friend of a friend; someone that I was told I must talk t...

Healing is... ongoing

It felt like my heart dropped into my stomach.  The voicemail message that was left instructed me to call the breast clinic back ASAP.  They said that an ultrasound was needed for further evaluation after my recent annual mammogram.  This brought back ...

"Hold up... Wait... What?" my mind whispers in the background.  A gray, dense brain "fog" covers everything like a weighted blanket to bear while I desperately search for a response to his question.  I am starting to sweat.  The pressure is expanding by the second.  I am ins...
