I’ve joined a new community recently, the Center for Spiritual Living Denver. I’ve also started singing with their small choir that leads the group singing throughout service. Having attended a couple of rehearsals, I’m struck by how different it feels to be the “newbie” in the group of close-nit musicians. It is refreshing, weird, and […]
I was introduced to house music in the summer before my senior of college. The event was a Sunday daytime party on the water in San Francisco. Prior to that day, I thought electronic music was harsh, lacking heart. I grew up singing folk, classical, and show tunes with my family and in choirs. I […]
We had our first session of a new Transformation Group this Monday. Twelve of us met in my living room and started building a safe, supportive group in which to share our intentions, challenges, and victories over the next six months. It was a wonderful time, and I was moved by the vulnerability and […]
Disclaimer: I have only been married for one year, and in partnership for six. I’m not a “relationship expert”, but am passionate about loving and learning through all relationships.

Self-awareness
You can learn a lot from an emotional breakdown. A new friend posted this […]
When I was a young girl, and was really upset, I would get on my back on the floor (or New York City streets) and throw a tantrum. I imagine I looked somewhat like a crab, arms and legs kicking and writhing in the air. I also made a sound effect when I would cry […]
Do you have someone in your life who is constantly complaining that they are not supported enough, and that, more precisely, you do not support them enough? Well I do. I spent years trying to do the “right things” so that they would know that I loved them and supported them enough. I thought sometimes […]
During my drive to the office today, I found myself thinking about something I wanted to do, and then the very next thought, which really came out so quickly it was more like an overlapping thought which didn’t let the other one even breathe before it spurted out, was that I wasn’t good enough to […]
