Be Your Own Inner Champion
I don’t fancy myself as a football lover—no hater here…mostly neutral. But I was so amazed by what Tom Brdy and the New England Patriots pulled off in Superbowl LI that I may have to start watching NFL more often. Truth: I watched the game to see the half-time show as I am a crazy […]
Want Something? Write It Down or Better Yet: Do a Vision Board
You know the routine: you long for an outcome you want in your life, you have great ideas, but somehow, you can’t organize all the thoughts much less create the outcome. These ideas are the beginning of a vision, which is the act or power of anticipating that which will or may come to be. […]
The Importance of Your Vagus Nerve and the Profound (if odd) Way I Tone Mine
As a teacher (not to mention human being), I am always looking for ways (hacks, if you will) to optimize my emotional and energetic state. For years, one of the more demonstrative ways I have done this is to chant Om (I actually chant it the old school way as AUM because I enjoy making […]
Math of the Heart, Space for the Head + the Anti-Anxiety Song
As a full-time energy optimizer, I am always on the lookout for ways to expend my energy—and help my clients expend theirs–in the best way possible. In the realm of mental energy expenditure, the antithesis to this is of course the dreaded Anxiety and its evil twin, Worry. Having them every once in awhile or […]
Relationships: Go Clean
The benefits of clean relationship practices are a lot like those of clean eating: a sense of well-being and knowledge that your are on the right path. Speaking of eating, my brain loves to think in recipes so here’s mine for clean: Clean = Being Clear + Being Responsible + Being a Leader Being Clear: […]

Kindness 101: It Starts with Yourself
When was the last time you did something really kind for yourself? Whether it’s a bath, or a nap, or just saying nice things to yourself instead running through your to do list or criticizing your features? I love this definition of kindness. It really is a virtue. Kindness comes from your heart and the heart is […]
Meditation as Relationship Pillar
One of my first jobs out of college was writing technical documentation for an IBM contractor. While the job wasn’t my dream, I learned buckets about writing and I met some people whom I still remember to this day. And while they were all such rich characters, none of them compared to… Dee and Candi. […]
Stuck in the Busy-ness of Partnership or Marriage? Do This.
I’m always looking for ways to deepen my love and connection with my partner (who is also my husband) mostly because is has great value to me, but also so I can bring the practical value of a working relationship to my clients. If you are like me, you may have noticed that regardless of […]
Meditation and Moms
Imagine it’s a reasonable waking hour in your bedroom. The same bedroom that is cocooned in a spa-like ambience: clean, with the peaceful aroma of lavender floating out of the diffuser like gossamer being spun. You arise from the perfect-number-of-hours slumber refreshed and ready for you day. You touch your still-sleeping prince charming gently on […]
