• Sacred Sundays

  

  No doubt due to my Catholic upbringing, I hold Sundays as sacred even though I no longer subscribe to an organized religious dogma.

• When People Show You Who They Are, Believe Them

  

  When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time. People know themselves much better than you do. That’s why it’s important to stop expecting them to be something other than who they are. – Maya Angelou. This short little quote helped me understand the ‘how’ of relationships. I kept expecting people to be true to their words, because I…

• The Importance of Emotional Estate Planning

  True or False? “I’m not sick. I have plenty of time to do my emotional estate planning.” False. While it is never too late to start emotional estate planning, it is also never too early. Emotional estate planning should not be reserved for those suffering a terminal or chronic illness who are nearing death. Just…

• We Aren't Immortal

  “So I find myself speechless, an animal unheard of…my father is now on comfort care, unexpected to live past the weekend. Who prepares you for such a calamity of events? Who prepares you for a hostile mother, wickedness and comfortable in her environment. I’m not prepared, is anyone?” This is an actual facebook post of…

• When Death Comes – An End of Life Doula Perspective

  Early on Life taught me that it had a set of bookends named Birth and Death. I was not afforded the luxury of death denial. I understood clearly that death was always part of the deal. This perspective impacted my life in a deep soulful way. A way that made me seem odd in the…

• Life After The Dark

  It is slowly all at once, Life after the Dark. Like the sun, rising on an overcast day, is imperceptible until you suddenly realize it has indeed cleared the horizon and your world once again illuminated…even if through a dull ceiling of clouds.

• The Woman In The Red Shoes

  A woman stated that when she sees a pretty woman, she compares herself and finds herself lacking. Her thoughts then spiral down from there. I know she is not the only one. I remember being like this. And in fact, while I no longer do this regarding looks, I was catching myself doing this with…
