They say that water retains the memories. Ah, so what do mine remember? They remember a belly large like a whale’s and a dark line that ran down from rib to pubic bones. They remember the sensation of a babe shifting inside. They remember as the waters inside discovered the waters outside, and how they reached for each other in recognition, my little one turning somersaults in delight. They remember the fear I felt when I stepped … [Read more...]
I have been thinking a lot about my journey lately. Where have I come from and where the heck am I going? I have been thinking about all the tools I have learned in the self development arena in the last 15 years and how I’m still on that path. Still learning about and uncovering some more of myself; unburying those treasures I kept hidden in the dark forest of my mental filing cabinets. As it usually happens when I’m taking a shower; what … [Read more...]

One of the greatest honors for me was the opportunity to contribute a chapter in an anthology of stories, focusing on the strength of the human spirit, called "Living Proof, Celebrating the Gifts that Come Wrapped in Sandpaper."

I believe that 95% of conflict stems simply from miscommunication and misunderstanding. As a result, I don't get my emotional feathers ruffled too often anymore. Rather, I have learned to PAUSE before responding when there is a problem, disappointment or conflict. Let me be clear, thought, that his "aha" in my own life took time. In the name of being "in my truth," I used to think I had to express myself quickly -- and often -- and I did so … [Read more...]
A woman walks into the room and a group of men flock to her like a magnet. “What is it about her?” you ask. Maybe it’s because she’s beautiful, maybe it is because she has a hot body, or maybe it’s because she has shiny hair. That “it” factor, however, is way simpler than you may think. The “it” factor has to do with one key ingredient to make any man melt and that is…. confidence. Confidence! It’s how a woman … [Read more...]
Have you ever had an argument with your spouse, and you literally do not know how you are going to recover from it? I remember having one of those with my now darling husband when we were dating. I went to bed, with him in the other room, thinking "I have no idea how to get out of this. I can't find anything to apolgize for on this one!" I prayed that he would be able to reflect and figure this out for both of us this time. Thankfully, … [Read more...]
In order to attract the man of your dreams, it helps to dress in a way that honors your beautiful figure. But you should wear only clothes that make the best of your unique shape. Before you hop on whatever trend they're pushing in Hollywood, ask yourself if the look works for you and your gorgeous body. The key is to emphasize what you do have and to detract from what you don't. Buy only the clothes that you know you'll put on over and over … [Read more...]
I’d like to go into the first letter of this acronym a little more deeply. The C stands for care or commitment. I’d like to talk more about what it means to Care in relationship. Care is a two way exchange in any relationship whether it is business or personal. One of the most fundamental aspects of being in relationship with another is that we want to know that the other cares about us. Care however, starts with the SELF. I … [Read more...]
