Reclaim Your Power

“Stay true to yourself. 

Let your voice ring out and don’t let anyone fiddle with it. 

Never turn down a good idea, but never take a bad idea. 

And meditate.” 

~~  David Lynch (1946-2025)

Greetings to all my precious people!

We are on the precipice of so much change and I want to gently remind all of us that we were made for these times. On Wednesday, January 29, 2025 the Lunar New Year will begin as we celebrate the arrival of the Yin Wood Snake, which officially emerges on Monday, February 3rd. It is the beckoning call to release old patterns and evolve, and to step up in ways that utilize our unfolding awareness. The 2024 Year of the Dragon gave us plenty of opportunities to reexamine, reevaluate and reestablish our operating systems, both personally and communally. Now is the time to navigate our Path with strength, clarity and wisdom. Let us focus on strengthening and harmonizing our connections to the external environment as well as our internal healing systems. We can create a balanced, flowing approach to daily life that serves the body, mind and spirit of our own Self, as well as that of our community.  continue reading »

Release to Realign

“To let go is to release the images and emotions, the grudges and fears, the clingings and disappointments of the past that bind our spirit.”

~~ Jack Kornfield

Greetings to all my precious people!!

We are in the post glow of the Full Wolf Moon—the time when the bright illumination of the Sun’s reflection on the moon is already waning, but the night sky is still filled with light. And yet, we feel the stirrings of things we have kept in the dark, hidden away. While the monthly Full Moons signify peak moments of a rising tide, they also offer the opportunity to glimpse into the recesses of our heart, soul and psyche. We can tenderly peek into the sacred nooks where our dreams, fears and lived experiences reside. But especially now, with the placement of Cancer, Mars and the Moon, we might find a bit more congestion and clutter than we imagined.  continue reading »

Spinach & Feta Scrambled Egg Pitas Recipe

This quick and nutritious meatless meal comes together in just 15 minutes, making it perfect for busy weeknights. The recipe starts with the convenience of frozen chopped spinach, which is packed with iron, magnesium, and vitamins A, C, and K to support strong bones, boost immunity, and promote energy production. Creamy scrambled eggs provide high-quality protein, B vitamins, and choline, essential for brain health and metabolism. Crumbled feta cheese adds a tangy flavor while delivering calcium and probiotics for bone strength and gut health.

The whole-wheat pita, rich in fiber, ensures better digestion and sustained energy throughout the day. Before adding the filling, a layer of sun-dried tomato tapenade is spread onto the pita, offering a burst of bold flavor and a dose of antioxidants, including lycopene, which supports heart health and skin vitality. If tapenade isn’t available, basil pesto or sun-dried tomato pesto works just as well. Together, these ingredients create a satisfying, nutrient-dense dish that’s as delicious as it is wholesome.  continue reading »
