As we make our way through May and our month focuses on growth, I wanted to share a story of growing pains. I was living in an apartment for many years following my divorce and liked the simplicity. I knew I ultimately wanted to buy a house but found a lovely apartment building that I really...

We’re still deep in the month of May, and this week, I’m celebrating my birthday. I always see that as a time to reflect on my life and what’s happened in the last year. One of the most significant events of last year was a Holotropic Breathwork retreat in Kansas City that I attended with...

Happy Spring! I hope you are seeing the signs wherever you live of nature awakening to a new cycle of growth. This month we dive into our theme of GROW. As I have been thinking about growth, the phrase “grow or die” keeps coming to mind. The quote most often applies to business. If your...

Wow, and here we are in March already! I can’t remember the exact quote for lambs and lions, but I am seeing the subtle signs of spring. I recently led a retreat in the Boulder area and became fully aware that spring is many months away for them. It’s one of the magnificent...
