Thank you! I feel beyond blessed to work with so many lovely, creative, hardworking and tenacious people year round. I know the holidays can be especially challenging, and I am forever humbled by the strength I see in my clients, my family and my dear friends. All of you have a place in my heart. …
It occurred to me the other day, that life is a series of losses. Nothing is permanent and the things that we most value or esteem, will slip through our grasp time and again. Our looks, people we love, activities we enjoy, finances (which we can win and lose throughout our lives), our sharp minds,…
I believe it was Dr. Robert Schuller who said, “Tough times never last, but tough people do!” Every week as a child my Grandma would watch Robert Schuller on the TV, coming live from his Chrystal Cathedral in Southern California for his “Hour of Power.” Even at the tender age of 13, I recall…
My first exposure to death was when my 59 year old grandfather unexpectedly passed when I was 5. I still recall looking at his cold body lying in the coffin at the wake. I remember that same week, sitting on the kitchen floor crying while my mom worked in the kitchen; it finally occurred to…
We take things for granted that we do every day. The simple act of brushing our teeth, putting our pants on, making a morning meal, jumping in the car to grab some groceries, raking leaves and cleaning the yard or putting together a meal for our family, are all things we do without considering that…

As a high school teacher of 25 years, I learned soon into my career to plan for everything! I left nothing to chance and even anticipated what questions the students would ask. Often, a hand would shoot up and I would give the answer before I called on the student. Yes, part of this did have…
While chatting at a retreat with total strangers recently, the woman next to me said, “ You’re a medium? But why would anyone want to talk to dead people?” I am used to getting a lot of questions when I tell people what I do, but that one threw me for a loop. In MY…
Life is constantly shifting from one year to the next, with everything in constant flux. I recall reading a book once that likened life to a kaleidoscope; how each small piece changes bit by bit, until finally, the entire view is totally different. Think of where your life was 5 years ago, 10 years ago,…
