Shifting Preconceived Notions About Autism and Suicide October 24, 2014 • 0 Comments Last week, I attended two functions, which means I left the house. I used to be more of the going-out type, but have become, without really noticing, a bit of a hermit.

The Importance of Wayfinding After Losing a Loved One October 17, 2014 • 0 Comments I have mentioned I am working on a book and as I get deeper into the process of editing and writing, and more writing then editing, I continue to be intrigued by how much one can learn about themselves when putting pen to paper.

3 Essential Tools for Healing: Writing, Meditation and Conversation October 3, 2014 • 2 Comments I was recently asked about the things that were most helpful to my healing process so far. I thought I would share my top three choices, in no particular order: Writing, meditation and actively learning to engage in honest, and often difficult, conversations. Breath Work and tapping would also be on the list. Writing has been essential to my entire…
Rebounder Benefits: Rebounding for a Molecular Lightness of Being September 29, 2014 • 2 Comments This is my Rebounder. Don’t laugh, but I think it has mystical properties, or at least the repetitive bouncing motion seems too. I’m not a shaman, just a gal trying to navigate her way through a rather difficult life experience, seeking a variety of ways to heal my soul.
Healing Lessons from NBC’s The Voice September 26, 2014 • 0 Comments I’m not much of a television watcher, but my son and I did get taken in by the swirling media vortex of The Voice last Spring.
