FOMMC (not FOMO)
9 days ago • 1 min readHi there, Reader! The open road calls! This summer, I've hit the highway in my van to my old home: Indiana, where I grew up, where I raised my kids, and where they still reside. I taught Introduction to Sound Healing: A Hands-On Experience in Kansas City, MO, on the 6th. My next workshop is July 11-13: Sound Healing with Crystal Singing Bowl in Bloomington, IN. Before I left, I had to make a huge decision. Big Yawns! I had been planning since February when I got my van to bring my kitties on...

16 days ago • 2 min readHi there, Reader! Our past experiences shape how we live our lives unless we consciously decide to change our trajectory. ~ Molly Adkins That's a big statement. I have experienced it over and over again. At age 58, I am STILL hearing the voices of my mother and my music teachers in my head that created a shy, insecure child and young adult. My mother did her best, but she was stressed out due to her own unresolved childhood trauma, which in turn created inner emotional conflict for me. She...

23 days ago • 2 min readHi there, Reader! I am the baby of family, the 3rd of 3 kids, born five years after the middle child. My two older siblings say they remember a time when our parents were happy. But I do not. I remember a lot of arguing and silent treatments and sideward angry glances. When I was 16, the marriage ended in divorce in 1982. Two months later, my dad passed of a heart attack at age 55. My mom passed in 2018 and had high risk diabetes. As a sound healing practitioner looking in at my parent's...

about 1 month ago • 1 min readHi there, Reader! Are visited by animals in real life or in your dreams? When I first moved to Colorado, I noticed an incredible number of magpie where I was living in the mountains. I learned that the spirit animal meaning of magpie is one of strong connection to the spiritual realm and are often considered messengers or protectors. At the time, this felt right. I was going through huge transition in my life by moving intrastate and starting a brand new business. I was also struggling with...
READ POSTleaning into silence
about 1 month ago • 2 min readHi there, Reader! For the past five days, I was on the road, teaching sound healing workshops and facilitating both group and indvidual sound healing sessions. Reflecting over these five days, I keep coming back to the necessity of allowing ourselves Time to Rejunvenate in Silence. Each day, I was holding space for others to be vulnerable as they touched and played various sound healing instruments for the first time; as they began or continued along their self healing journey. Each day was...

2 months ago • 2 min readHi there, Reader! I am triggered by the word Nuture. The thing is that when I first started working on my business, I had a spiritual/business coach. He was amazing in helping me work with my injured inner child and helping me release fears. And, he would use the word nurture all. the. time. His business model was to reach out to people on social media, nurture them by giving tons of value regarding their 'problem' in FB messenger, then get them on a call to talk about my new life coaching...

2 months ago • 2 min readHi there, Reader! About 4 years ago, my life was turned upside down and sideways. The stirring of the pot actually started 6 years ago. But the Big Bang was in 2021 when I was put in the position to have to sell my house. Reason being that I took leave from my teaching job and the 1-year replacement job suddenly fell through. Still the end of covid, I couldn't find another temporary job, and instead of waiting until I defaulted on my mortage, I decided to sell my house. (I still morn that...
