An oil lamp can’t light a room if it is out of oil.
You can’t be a light in this world if you are “out of oil”.
Keep your lamp filled!Especially if you are caring for dependents, old or young, it is critical to watch your own health - keep your lamp filled! A major key in maintaining a well-rounded lifestyle is protecting your physical health. Essential oils can be incorporated into that in many different ways.
Read MoreHere are some tips and tricks I've learned along the way:
Have some basic tools on hand: a cutting board, a sharp knife, some glass bakeware, cookie sheets, some good pots and pans, some strainers, a veggie steamer that sits in a pot, A GARLIC PRESS!!, a splatter screen for when you put things in hot oil - this will save you lots of clean up, ohhh and a veggie chopper - allows you to chop onions without crying and may or may not help you take out the days anger on an onion (I have to laugh - we lived with a family when we were first married, in their mother-in-law suite… they always knew when I was chopping onions!) Having the tools you will need makes it much less stressful and daunting.
I had no clue about Wabi-sabi until I googled “imperfect nature” in a quest to illustrate to my daughter that things can be beautiful even if they aren’t perfect. In my searching, I discovered Wabi-sabi, a Japanese worldview based on the concept that emphasizes finding beauty in imperfection.
Picture this. My daughter and I were sitting at the table and I had given her a matching letters activity. Her job was to find the matching letter, I would put down some glue, and she would stick on the matching letter. Several times after sticking the matching letter on the page, she started crying and exclaiming, “No, it’s not perfect, I want it to be perfect”.

Read MoreYou aren’t crazy! Many of us are feeling a little crazy right now. Listen as a great friend and counselor explains why you might be feeling “off” emotionally and physically! Is it triggering past loss? betrayal? grief? trauma?
“ Almost all trauma occurs under a certain set of circumstances. Victims are unable to escape. The circumstances or perpetrator invoke(s) fear in the victim. There is a power struggle that the victim loses – against another person, system, or nature. At some level, a betrayal occurs (I’ll have to explain that one in another blog!).

Read MoreDo you know this scenario?!? If you are a parent I’m sure you do! The battle of the wills!
I have had the pleasure of giving births to three very strong willed children. They express their desires and ‘non-negotiables” very differently but nonetheless, I have been in this situation MANY, MANY times!
I have also been the little girl. Daily! I have a very strong will. I set expectations about the day or the outcome and I am VERY frustrated when I don’t “get my way”.

Read MoreSo often, we live lives of numbing.
I recently sat (kid free) with my dear girl friend and the topic of the future landed in our laps. She and I are both at a point in life where our full time job includes raising littles. I wasn’t going to let this opportunity pass us by. I simply asked her, “What do you dream about doing? What feels life giving to you?”.
She paused.
A long pause.
“I don’t know, I can’t remember the last time I thought about it,” she said.

Read MoreHow many times has your little one asked you to slow down?
My poor kids. I am a power walker. It’s just how I grocery shop and walk to the car. I forgot when they were small that their little legs couldn’t keep up. Bless their little hearts. How they endured me, I’ll never know.
Grief is an enemy and a friend. That is why when you have experienced extreme grief you feel connected to others who have as well. You feel part of the same “club”.
This “grief club” knows that grief is like a torturous villain that surprises you with his presence. When you least expect it fills your heart with so much pain you feel like you could die.
This “grief club” knows that grief is like riding a roller coaster in the dark. You don’t know when you’re going to go up and then plummet down without warning.
