Do you have any pet peeves that you want to get off your chest before the new year---you know, wipe the slate clean (so you can start fresh on New Year's Day)? Because I do. And let me begin: Dear Life Coaches: I may be on your mailing list but chances are I am not a prospect for what you are . . .
At a retreat in the mountains I was talking to an older man over dinner. I say, "older" but really, he could've been closer to my age than any of yours. Probably. Anyway, we were commenting on how the retreat center had been attractively built into the mountain requiring many flights of stairs and . . .
If you're looking for just the right holiday gift, look no further than our one-of-a-kind, absolutely beautiful candles with crystals and florals. Or with holiday bling. But act fast---our candle-making shop goes vacation during most of December-- but we are taking orders through Sunday, Dec. 1 . . .
The Thanksgiving holiday is a perfect time to offer this prayer of our love and kindness for all beings. It's so beautiful you might want to consider it for grace at today's dinner. May all beings everywhere be safe, be happy, warm and free from fear. May we all have good health and enough to . . .
Who am I? Who are you? And what do you do? How do you answer those questions? When I'm asked what I do it's hard to sum it up into a pithy response. I'm a hypnotherapist, past life regressionist, artisan candle-maker and I offer products for healing and grief. It's a mouthful. When I'm asked what . . .

We live in such uncivilized times, don't we? I'm beginning to really despise the way social media have become a bully pulpit for uncivilized discourse. The politics of today are really shameful. Not that politics has ever been clean, but today so much is acceptable that would have been called out at . . .
I've got some fall reading potpourri for you--posts on a variety of topics written by my favorite Boomer bloggers! Laurie Stone of Musings, Rants, & Scribbles knew Salem, Massachusetts might be spooky, but this was ridiculous. She and her mom had originally booked into the town's inn for a . . .
Many of us are looking for the light in these dark times. Does that describe you? It certainly describes me. Because I am seriously distressed with what I see from some of my fellow citizens. I know I'm not alone. Sometimes it is more than I can bear. Kids in cages, separated from their parents, . . .
If only getting woke were as simple as walking through a door. "Get woke" means becoming aware of social injustices --and it applies especially to those of us born with unrecognized privilege. Getting woke is the process of recognizing our privilege and understanding that others may not have the . . .
