Beach Retreat
Had a great time at the Portlandia Beach Retreat. Fourteen women shared a beautiful house on the beach in Lincoln City. Took walks on the beach, played board games, ate fabulous food, sat in the wonderful sunshine. It was an amazing weekend. I am grateful to be part...
A Love Story
Laurence and I visited my family back east. My Mom is in a care facility and my Dad is still living at home. My Mom was pretty good while we were there. She has moments of not remembering, or remembering very strange experiences due to her dementia. My Dad is lonely...

Do you know what you want? I gave a workshop recently and watched the participants struggle trying to identify what it is they want. Most of the time women don’t know or they have a hard time articulating their desires. Do I dare ask? What if I don’t get it? Do I...
The Go-Giver
This is a great little book with a powerful message. A very clever way to talk about universal principles. I found it to be a great message for anyone on their spiritual journey. The authors not only give the principle but demonstrate how to put it into action. Great...
