Preserving the Authentic Essence

I originally posted this many moons ago at www.innerbonding.com and thought I’d share it here… inspired by a conversation with a mama at the mini retreat this Saturday….this issue is timeless…. —- A few months ago, I attended an amazing dance workshop led by Vinn Marti, focused on helping us reconnect with our authentic selves [...]

3 Steps to Nurturing your Child’s Intuition

Many have heard this story: A little girl who just became a big sister, is found in the baby’s room, leaning over the baby’s bassinet.  She is overheard asking the baby in a whisper, “Tell me what God is like, I’m starting to forget.” Intuition, our natural connection to the divine and wisdom in us, [...]

Little Body, Enormous Spirit: what my baby (in utero) is teaching me about the power of our souls

With all of my children, I have taken time while they were in utero to connect with their spirits.  With Lucas, in the midst of my anxiety about his health, I connected to a sweet, caring spirit assuring me that all was well.  With Maya, I experienced very clearly the depth of her earthy, wise [...]

The Virtues of my Low Tech Pregnancy

This is my third pregnancy.  The first time around I was in the ER, looking at my baby through a cervical ultrasound when 6 weeks pregnant… after I had panicked when feeling some cramping.  That pregnancy began with the assumption that I was going to give birth in a hospital, so I started my prenatal [...]

Compassion’s path to Gratitude

This past holiday week, I heard many talking about how we know there is so much to be grateful for.  Consciously we know it…and can even list our blessings easily.  Yet for many this year, the spirit of gratitude;  the deep welling up of recognition that one is truly blessed, was harder to muster.  Many [...]

Celebrating Mother in all of us

Lucas has been sick with a bitter cough all week.  Two days ago, our doctor told us it would be best for him to take a few days off of school and rest.  So we settled back into a life we haven’t enjoyed much since school began… the mellow days of hanging in our backyard, gardening, playing, [...]

Ask Spirit!

Yesterday, I sat in with Maya for a simple speech screening.  She seemed like a little lady sitting there very studiously responding to the speech therapist’s “games”  which mostly including repeating words and sentences. I marveled at how grown up she was seeming. Then the Speech Therapist asked her a series of questions, the last [...]

Vessels of Love come in all sizes

Today as I sat in my bedroom with my computer on my lap, Maya peeked in and I reminded her that I am working right now.  I flashed her the “I love you” sign and she gave me a sincere ‘oh I understand’ expression.  I breathed in gratitude that I said that kindly, as I [...]

Return to natural consciousness

In this day and age there is such a disconnect from our innate knowing and connection to Truth and Love. A disconnect from the natural flow of life and what is healthy for us. Consumerism, materialism, modernism have disconnected us from what humans naturally need and inherently know. My goal is to reconnect people to [...]
