The world that we're living in can be confusing, scary, and frustrating. It's hard to be at peace with what's happening. We can imagine how we want the world to be, how we want our families to be, and how we want ourselves to be, right? Yet it can be very difficult to live in a way that's consistent with our beliefs.
Our work is to show up with open hearts, making peace with the dark and scary parts of our selves as well as with those parts in our families, community, culture, and world. This is how we create heaven on earth. I started practicing mindfulness because I couldn't feel peaceful with life as it was. There was an uncomfortable gap between how I wanted to be as a mom, wife, and human being and how I actually was. I hated to lose my temper but couldn't seem to stop doing it. I hated to be critical of other people and myself, but it just kept happening. I came to mindfulness hoping to change myself. Of course, I learned that change begins with awareness, curiosity, and acceptance. I needed to slow down and pay attention, notice my thoughts and feelings, learn to be friends with myself, and develop inner and outer discipline. Now, I gratefully teach what I have been learning over the past 25 years. I offer you a synthesis of the mindfulness teachings, emotional healing, human development, and spiritual practices that I have found so transformative. In mindfulness and parenting classes, individual and family support, programs and talks, and my blog and other writings, I offer support that's both practical and soulful. Curious?
