COVID 19 has meant different things to me at different parts of the year. It March, it meant Anxiety and Fear because the U.S. was given little to no information about the virus and how to navigate it. In April, it meant adjusting to a full house, since my sister and niece moved back in,…

I am Thankful for: Recent Memories
“What was the last meal you had at a restaurant?” My sister asked sometime last week during dinner. It took me a awhile to answer her question because I could not rember. Everything changed so quickly, yet the days feel so long and drawn out. The days blend together making each day feel like Sunday….
Moment of Thanks
It’s Thursday!? Social distancing is an interesting experience. The days blend together and sometimes feel like an entire week has passed. I remember when I lived in Los Angeles, there were times when I spent an entire Saturday or Sunday at home. It was always a nice treat for me to rest, be and catch…
I am Thankful for: Hope
Hello! I just stumbled upon a video that touched my heart. The video was created by the Chino Hills High School choir. They had a performance this week that was canceled. However, the students did the next best thing, they came together digitally to sing for a larger audience. The song they sang could not…
I am Thankful for: Ordinary Moments
This time of my life feels like true Technicolor. Dorothy left Kansas and stepped into colorful, vibrant OZ. That is the best description I have that describes how rich, flavorful and vibrant this season is for me. I have not appreciated this season in the way I appreciate it now. OZ was a dream for…
I am Thankful for: My Return
It’s past midnight on Wednesday night, yet I am wide awake. I just wrapped a six-week, eye-opening course about the Hero’s Journey. This class was one of the best classes I have taken in my history of education, workshops, conferences and spiritual classes. As a mindfulness blogger I am committed to speaking my truth and…
I’m Thankful For: My Thanksgiving Blessing
This year has been full. I have had a lot of insights, realizations, deeper understandings and perspective shifts. All that I have studied and worked toward, for the past five years, is coming together. For the first time, I am able to see how I have grown as a speaker and facilitator and as an…
I’m Thankful for: Place and Time
I woke up Wednesday morning feeling the most rested I’ve felt in two weeks. In recent weeks I would wake up in the middle of the night or twice in a night then go back to sleep. Or I would sleep through the night, but wake up early (between the hours of 4am – 6am)…
I’m Thankful for: Seeing Beyond My Limitations
This morning, I woke up just like every other day. However, today is not like every other day because yesterday I wrapped the last movie of my career. I wanted to go out and celebrate this milestone, instead I went home exhausted and in need of rest. I have a cold. It is typical for…
I’m Thankful for: Courage
Somewhere within in me is a fear to speak at this time. A lot of wounds have been open this year at a very large public scale in both our country and the world. Many of us may be treading lightly to avoid inviting conflict and/or inflicting pain on ourselves and others. You may feel…
