Looking for Something?
When was the last time you looked forward to the day ahead of you? When you felt a renewed sense of purpose, knew where you were going and were excited about the journey ahead? If it’s been a while, then I’m so glad you’re here! You see, I know what being lost feels like . . . and I also know what it feels like to get back on purpose and live life fully in ways I never imagined. I want to help you get there, too.
I’ve learned to listen to the whisper of my inner voice and find the courage to follow it. Now I know I can do anything. I am unstoppable. I’ve owned that I am an amazing woman with a bright future, and now my mission is to help you as well. Why? Because . . .YOU can do anything. YOU are unstoppable. YOU are amazing!

Dance in the Meadow
What do you do when you become widowed, leave your church family of 45 years, retire from your job and move halfway across the country? You get real with yourself. Emerging from a season of loss and the unraveling of every belief and certainty I had so carefully cultivated, I began to sit in conversation with God. With God, not to God. Listening to the still, small voice of my spirit, our conversations went deep and released a well-spring of life and wisdom. Dance in the Meadow will leave you feeling inspired to reflect on your own life and to find answers to questions you didn’t know to ask. They will leave you knowing that you are not alone.

Keep Walking, Your Heart Will Catch Up
I invite you on a journey with me through Keep Walking, Your Heart Will Catch Up. It’s the story of my pilgrimage, a spiritual journey and physical feat. Newly widowed and looking for direction for the next 30 years of my life, I hiked the Camino de Santiago, the centuries old 483-mile trail across northern Spain. Then I wrote a book about it.

Today’s post is a repeat of a post from 2022. It inspires me, and I hope it will inspire you, too. Bridge walking. That’s what has been on my mind this week. Bridge walking – taking me from where I am to where I’m going. Bridge walking – spanning two seasons of time. I sense…

Let’s Move Through Retirement to Refirement
When I was much younger, like in my twenties, I thought sixty years of age was old. I hoped I would be able to stay healthy and live at least until mid-sixties. By the time I was forty-five, sixty didn’t seem all that old after all. My perception shifted. Then entering my sixties, I looked…
