How Some Ancient Wisdom on Feelings is Helping Me Now

This might sound crazy but I only recently discovered, as a forty-something woman, that it’s better to recognize, pay attention to, and acknowledge the feelings within you, rather than hide from them or try to outrun them.

In My Fortieth Year: Life, Love and Lessons

As my birthday approached, I heard messages such as “it’s not so bad,” “it’s just a number,” and “it’ll be okay.” Perhaps because I’m stubborn, but I decided that I didn’t want 40 to be just okay. I wanted 40 to be reverent, I wanted 40 to be inspiring, I wanted 40 to be a game-changer. Continue reading “In My Fortieth Year: Life, Love and Lessons”

What if you were being forced into alignmentOr enlightenmentWhat if the Earth said, Ok, that’s enoughAnd whatContinue reading “20/20”
