I hope you all had a great weekend and Happy Fathers Day to all the fathers here. Last weekend I went to visit my brother and his daughter (my niece) who live in Costa Rica. I don’t get to see her that often so when I do, the visit is all about her. During the…

Happy Monday! The transition to summer is here and whenever my schedule shifts I find myself feeling a bit more reactive in my responses. It was that awareness that inspired me to share this quote with students last week. “Between the stimulus and the response there is a space. And in that space is our…

I hope you all had a great week. Last week I did something my kids didn’t like. Considering they are 16 and 20 that definitely happens quite a bit; I can’t do that many things right :). In response to their disapproval I said “I am a work in progress”. The power of mindfulness is…

I hope you are all enjoying the long weekend. Last week I had conversations with two different people who had experienced deep loss of a close family member in the previous weeks. For one it was a complete shock which brought with it a complex set of emotions mixed with the grief, and for the…

Feb 1st-3rd 2025 at Isla Bella…

I hope you all had a great week. It was a busy one for me. Sometimes when things are hectic and we lose the ability to pause we can find ourselves reacting rather than mindfully acting. When I notice this happening within myself I repeat my mantra; the words I try to live by most…

Happy Monday! Thank you so much for the support I received last week after sharing a couple of my new endeavors. It truly means so much. Through this process, I have been very aware of my own internal stories; the beliefs we have about ourselves that may or may not be true. It are those…

Happy Monday! I apologize for the especially long newsletter today. This past week I shared a reading by Mark Nepo that talks about the value of trusting ourselves and not giving up when we are trying new things or stepping out of our comfort zone.  It inspired me because I truly needed that reminder. I…
