Intergenerational trauma is real and what is happening in the Ukraine is damaging, on so many levels. But this is not the venue to clear up perceptions about what is real or not, nor to speculate what might be unfolding with this war. What I will say is that the last two years have been a lot… for most of us. Now knowing the strength of spirit that my Ukrainian heritage has to stand up for freedom and democracy, has… Read More

It is a first world choice to vaccinate or not, but we’ll all… Read More
A SUSTAINABLE SUMMER

A connection of pure awareness that I seek to find with you here. I liken it to the feeling of chanting OM at the end of a really good yoga class!

PERU JOURNEY

Although time hasn’t slowed for me yet, there is promise of it sometime over the next couple of years. Focused on learning Spanish and spending… Read More

The perception of La Nina is that it will bring more of the white stuff, and that is very exciting for some! But for others, it may be more comforting to know that 3 of the last 5 La Nina winters have been warmer than predicted. Regardless what the weather brings, choose to embrace the holiday season and slow down in… Read More
