Tragedy in Japan – What Can I Do?

March 20, 2011

Lately so many people have expressed their frustration at feeling helpless to assist in the disaster unfolding in Japan.  Couple that with fears of nuclear meltdowns and just the sheer magnitude of the tragedy and it can feel emotionally overwhelming.  With the news pundits constantly debating back and forth on the level of radiation risk, it is [...]

Where Did Your Joy Go?

February 1, 2011

This is a picture of my first grand-nephew, baby Max Christopher Frank Grodio, born to my niece Carolyn and husband Frank on January 31st at 6:22am. Meeting Max for the first time yesterday brought to mind a piece by columnist Martha Beck that I had just read in the January issue of O Magazine. In [...]

Moving Music

August 24, 2010

For the last few weeks I have been in the process of looking for a new place to live. Now, in the past, when it was time for me to move, the next place appeared almost immeditately. All I had to do was think about what I wanted in as much detail as possible and [...]

Are you a beautiful dreamer?

May 20, 2010

For some years now I have kept an active dream journal and been fascinated with the symbols in my dreams. I always feel as if I am part of a secret society where everything I see means something else – it’s like a treasure hunt where the treasures lie deep inside the self. Recently I [...]

Is Intend and Intention the Same Animal???

April 20, 2010

I intend a bunch of stuff – all the time, in fact. I intend to exercise every day but often don’t. I intend to eat only organic food but still succumb to that occasional Micky D’s. I intend to go to bed at the same time each night to get a really good sleep but [...]

It’s a New Moon!

April 15, 2010

Yesterday was the new moon in Aries. Aries is my birth sign and I have for a few years now followed a practice on the new moon of setting intentions for the month and writing them down. I’ve discovered that this practice allows me to focus on what I want to create in my life [...]

Multi-Tasking Mommas

February 28, 2010

I was reading a story in People Magazine about Chynna Phillips seeking treatment for overwhelming anxiety. Daughter of Michelle and John, sister to Mackenzie, member of Wilson-Phillips of the 1990s, Chynna, like so many modern superwomen, seemed to have it all under control, yet was losing the inner struggle of her daily juggling act. Expectations [...]

Thoughts on December

December 15, 2009

Something feels different about this holiday season to me. Recently I read that food banks in the area and charities that collect gifts for children in the social services system are reporting a dearth of donations compared to last year. It’s understandable. It can be hard to give when one’s own resources feel so limited. [...]

The Turkeys are Coming!

November 15, 2009

It’s that time again – that wonderful time of year when we eat more than we do the other ten months put together, kiss more relatives than we ever knew we had, and wander around malls, real and online, in that perpetual holi-daze. As always at this time of year I think back to memorable [...]
