Today, right now… where are you? Where are you, really? It might sound like a silly question.. I am here, in my room, looking at my computer.  Ah, yes, that is where your mind is focussed, but where is the rest of you? At a time where many people are feeling like they’ve had enough..

Dear Friends,  It’s so frustrating! Lately, I have been having amazing conversations with amazing women who clearly have great ideas, heartfelt truths and an unwavering commitment to a better world within either themselves, to their lives, their families or relationships, communities or to the world.  BUT…. their voices might never be heard.  Their ideas might

I was involved in an online conversation recently where I could see that people involved in the discussion were becoming polarized (not hard to do these day when the world seems more divided than ever).

“I’ve tried to change,  but I just can’t seem to do it.” “I’ll think I’ll always be stuck.” “I guess I’m just not cut out for this.”  These statements break my heart when I hear them.
