All around us we see warrior symbolism.  We have a war on cancer, a war on drugs, a war on terrorism, a war on poverty.  When I was first diagnosed with the brain tumor in 2010, I immediately took on the persona of cancer ‘warrior’.  Challenges arise in our lives to propel us to grow… Read More

The snowpocalypse of 2015 has crippled my town.  For the 8th day in 3 weeks my children are home with a snow day.  I am fully aware that often, the Universe has a greater plan than I am consciously aware of.  All I can do is go with the flow. Growing up, I loved to check… Read More

Although sharing information that I am receiving through my healing journey is incredibly important to me, sometimes I feel like people think I am regimented, perfect in my diet, exercise and attitude, and upbeat all the time.  That’s just not true.  I make plenty of ‘interesting’ choices.  I am far from perfect.

It’s true.  Being diagnosed with a brain tumor was the best gift I ever received.  It was my soul’s last ditch attempt to get me to change my life.  I equate a tumor to a pearl.  A tumor is a capsule of toxicity.  The oyster, in order to protect itself from something it perceives as a… Read More

The Universe is made of energy.  We are energy.  We create the lives we have by the energy vibration we emit.  Pretty crazy, right?  Believe me, I sure do wish sometimes that I could blame some of my life circumstances on bad luck but I can’t.  I own it…all.  Understanding how energy drives our life… Read More

As I pulled the holiday decorations from my attic and basement yesterday I came to realize…I have too much stuff.  Most of us are pretty good at accumulating ‘stuff’.  Once we have it, we hold on to it.  We think ‘well, I’ll keep this in case someday down the road I need it.’  And then… Read More
