Celebrating the ordinary
I just celebrated my birthday and as I was blowing out my candles I immediately thought about my wife’s birthday and then our upcoming twenty-five year anniversary celebration of being in business and…..
I almost out loud said STOP. Life is not just going from planning one thing to planning the next. What about all the breaths in between?
And I took a breath. I reminded myself of all the reasons, seasons, and times that we are not celebrating and decided right then to celebrate the moment for no particular reason at all. How...
moreWhere do you find your freedom?
Recently I shared a story on my adventure going south for the winter as it has been a dream of mine. This year I got to watch that dream unfold in real time as I packed up my car, drove down to Virginia, and headed on the Amtrak rail south to Florida.
This was a true law of attraction for me. Each year I have been extending my trip a little longer and a little longer and each year I have even been calling myself a Florida snowbird. This season I have been thinking why? Why do I find freedom there? Why do I find freedom in traveling? It prompted me to ask you,...

Well, today, my wife and I packed up our belongings, loaded up the car, drove to Virginia and we are about to board the southbound Amtrak train to Florida without a return ticket.
As I am sitting here in the passenger check-in area watching all the cars being loaded onto the...

moreDoes CBD Help With Anxiety, Stress, and Sleep?
Anyone who has dealt with fear, anxiety, stress, or insomnia knows just how difficult it can be to treat these common conditions, especially if you want to avoid going the pharmaceutical route. In the past few years, cannabidiol (CBD) has been widely hailed as a solution. So here’s what we have found out during our research.
Consumer Concerns:
Most people share the most significant reason they haven’t tried CBD yet is that they weren’t sure what to look out for and they were insecure about what brand to trust.
The top questions our clients are asking us...
moreNormal vs Common
What is normal? A standard; usual, typical, or expected.
What is common? Occurring, found, or done often; prevalent.
Ok, so why do you care that these two words have different meanings? Here is a story that will shed some light on the topic of why understanding the difference between what is actually normal vs what is common in our society, our behaviors, and how we feel.
Have you ever heard that common sense is not so common? After being a massage therapist for over 2 decades, I found out that knots in my client's shoulders, neck, and back are extremely common. At the...

Dealing with the ups and downs of past trauma.
Flying up, grounding down.
As I write this, I am on a flight from New York to Michigan. I thought it to be a little ironic to write about grounding down into your root chakra when I’m flying through the air at 30,000 feet above the ground.
May is mental health awareness month and is right on the heels of June which deals with PTSD. PTSD stands for “Post Traumatic Stress Disorder” which usually stems from past experiences of trauma that lives on in future experiences usually caused by “triggers”.
One major trigger I...

At certain points during your life, you might find yourself taking inventory of where you are. You might find yourself facing a difficult decision or at a crossroads, a place where you are asking deeper questions. Questions like “I thought I would have been further along in my life by now, what’s next or even why me, why can’t I seem to change my life’s circumstances?”
When you start evaluating your life, it’s ok to ask these questions to yourself- that can actually be a good thing. No really, it’s ok not to be totally fulfilled in life or 100% clear on where you are going. Even...

Stress is our fear reaction to life and to the constant change that consistently unfolds all around us. You may have heard people say the only constant in life is changes. Change is inevitable and it does not mean that Stress has to rule over all of our lives, shrinking us into a less than existence filled with fear at every turn.
