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.

Power of the Pause, especially during peri-menopause

Emotional highs and lows can be hard, especially during per-menopause. Before reacting, pause and take a deep breath. Maybe ask yourself some questions relative to the situation.

I published a book for Nyah’s birthday!

These last couple of months have been a roller coaster ride. Thankfully, I was reminded of a scientist I was first introduced to about 20 years ago when I watched the movie What the Bleep Do we Know? which was followed up by the movie, The Secret, which is what introduced me to the Law of Attraction, which began to change my paradigm considerably. This scientist/author, Joe Dispenza, has been on trajectory for proving the power of the mind and its affect on the body for years now and again, I’m in awe of how my body and mid feels when I...

New Store Front Opening in My Hometown of Republic, Missouri

UPDATED  – My little store in Republic closed the end of January 2024 and has been relocated within my new location! Ask and you shall receive! I’ve been looking for a place to showcase my Keith’s Cacao other than our spa and the opportunity presented itself this weekend to rent space in my hometown of Republic, Missouri, and it just happens to be where my most favorite human in the world works – my sister! For those who know, my sister and I have been on a wild journey together since I asked for her to be in my world...

From Tragedy to the Trees: The Journey of ForResting the Soul

Life has a funny way of nudging us towards unexpected paths, and mine was no exception. My journey with ForResting the Soul and its debut event coming up this fall, “Wildly Connected Above the Niangua,” was shaped by a series of transformative events, each playing a crucial role in altering my course. It all started with a life-changing decision to travel to Costra Rica for a Kundalini Yoga Retreat and then shortly after making that decision, I chose to become a Certified AccessBars® Practitioner through Access Consciousness®....

Harnessing the Deep Impact of Virtual Cacao Ceremony: A Path to Healing, Self-Love and Connection

In today’s fast-paced, disconnected world, many of us yearn for deeper connections, self-love, and a sense of purpose. Fortunately, a powerful combination of ancient traditions and modern practices has emerged to offer solace to those feeling lonely, depressed, and in need of self-care. Enter the virtual cacao ceremony, a transformative experience that blends the healing benefits of cacao, guided self-massage for grounding and somatic response, and the power of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) for manifestation and releasing limiting...

Addiction to the Chaos You Constantly Create

Addiction to the Chaos You Constantly Create

Addiction and Addictive Behavior Whew….this is a monster for me. Where do I even begin? My first sip of beer was at age four and even then, I had an awareness of what it felt like to be the life of the party, making people laugh and smile. I remember that feeling good. Wow, did I just write that? I guess so. I’ve had awareness of substances and their impact on human behavior since I was young, but it wasn’t until about a decade ago that I began to realize different human behavior patterns based on emotional addiction. We all...

The Clearing Statement

Just POD & POC it! LOL When my friend, Amy Wallace, introduced me to Access Consciousness about three years ago, I wasn’t ready. This was around the beginning of the pandemic and as you may remember, we were all kind of in our own little corners trying to figure it out as went. She and I lost contact for several months, but when we reconnected, I’d hear her say ‘POD & POC” a lot…or maybe it was POC & POD, either way, it means the same thing and I’d giggle and sometimes even poke fun. 🙂 Now, fast...

The Spirit of the Woodpecker

The Spirit of the Woodpecker

When spirit comes knocking….please open the door. This past weekend was one of great significance to me. While on my journey these last several weeks, I’ve found a lot of enjoyment in being alone. However, I had an opportunity to see a band on Friday evening whom I usually see when they’re in Springfield. This time, before leaping at the chance to go out and be entertained, I felt into my body and asked my body what it wanted to do. For some…this may sound super weird and that’s okay. Hang around a little longer...

Love and Judgment

Love and Judgment

What people think of you is none of your business. Seriously. People will think what they think and it really doesn’t matter. Be you anyway. I had the unique opportunity on Monday to sit in a courthouse for roughly seven hours in anticipation of being called into the courtroom to testify in a trial. The most interesting part of it is that I would have been defending love, my points of view on capacity to love and what love looks like. The opposing counsel chose to stalk me and especially my daughter in an attempt to discredit me –...
