Yesterday my son Spencer who has Intellectual Disabilities was outside most of the morning helping me shovel. He always volunteers to help without hesitation and I’m incredibly grateful.

How often do you wake up in the morning (or in the middle of the night) with that little voice inside your head screaming at you about your fears, failures and shortcomings? The loop can be endless: “If only you had kept your mouth shut you wouldn’t have lost that friendship.” “Your kids are never […]

Women are incredible at taking care of everyone’s needs. Sick kid, needy friend, busy spouse and aging parents – we’re there to heal, listen and support. But in the midst of caring for everyone, our own needs go unmet. Sometimes we’re aware of our feelings of sadness and frustration that our desires are unfulfilled but […]

I had a friend say to me this morning “I’m finding myself fearful of things that haven’t even happened yet.” Yes, for even the most optimistic people, 2020 is doing a number on us.

I’m an avid reader. I usually have several books I’m reading at the same time. One is always my easy night reading, some fiction that doesn’t require me to think. In the morning it’s usually a non-fiction about self-improvement, spirituality or business. I find myself searching right now for a book that will help me […]
