I love to write.
Journaling, online or on paper, has always been a great way for me to process and share. It’s also one of the best ways to get to know me and all the experiences that create this life journey of mine.
Fascial Release Sessions Now Available

read moreWhy is the program named 47 Aware?
What is the significance of the 4 and the 7? To some, numbers are just arbitrary symbols that exist to communicate scale for a variety of things in our lives. To others, we see more meaning to them because our whole existence is sacred geometry and mathematical equations.

The older I am getting, the more I’m realizing how this presents itself in my life and environment. Last January, specifically, I began ruminating on the...

Before cell phones, before the Internet, before streaming EVERYTHING became a thing. Life was so much simpler then. It was okay to feel ‘bored’ and let our minds wander. It was okay to have downtime, just playing with sticks in the grass, noticing the moss on the logs and looking for treasures in the dirt. NOTHING else mattered but that present moment. Last year, my friend, Rachael West, and...

The earth’s surface has a virtually limitless supply of mobile electrons that gives the ground we walk on (as well as lakes and oceans) a natural negative electric charge. When you touch your body to the ground, it dissipates static electricity and extraneous environmental...

Looking forward to them walking in the door, even tired and grumpy after work. Knowing what they’ve had to eat, if they’ve eaten, and who they are hanging around with. Seeing their car in the driveway when you wake up, knowing they are safe and sound. Having friends in your community say, “I saw your daughter today and she helped me or she made the best sandwich for me or she has the best smile!” My life took a drastic turn on Sunday, July 30. It was the day I realized that while I’ve thought I’ve been...
