Any Trapezes in Your Life These Days?

From the moment I heard an essay comparing life to a series of trapeze swings, I've held onto that metaphor. In November, I'll be co-leading a retreat with my colleague (and workshop mentor...) Ken Nelson dealing specifically with that topic. Paula Harris, who...

The Remarkable Mama Gena

Since last December, I've been telling every woman I know about my experience with Mama Gena (MG). I now have the opportunity to share her brilliance with you. But first a bit of background for those of you I haven't personally mentioned her to. Late last year,...

Go Jump In A Lake!

Yup! Those were the very words my Visions team spoke to me yesterday. I wrote them down as one of my goals to accomplish before we meet again in two weeks. I was complaining that this whole season has gone by without me entering an outdoor body of water, the...

My Ego Tricked Me Again

I made a mistake. A dear and trusted colleague contacted me last fall and offered to nominate me to attend an expensive event in May. From the get-go, my ego inflated and I thought, She's nominating ME. I must really be something! There weren't a lot of details...

Marianne Williamson + 100 more Fabulous Women

The Women on Fire (WOF) 2017 retreat just ended, and I am full. I came to Miami Beach on October 5th, actually arriving at 2am on the 6th, to participate in the 7th annual iteration of this event. My participation was based on the recommendation of my good friend...

Prayer Answered. Thank you, Stephen Cabral

I had the amazing good fortune yesterday to receive a semi-private tour of the TDF Costume Collection guided by its director, the extraordinary Stephen Cabral. On Monday I'd met with my business/spiritual team, and the advice I received after telling them how hard...

Want to Know What I Learned After 7 Days of Silence?

Me, too. I'm not sure. I said to the leader during our 15 minute interview - one of the two times we were allowed to interact verbally - "I'm not sure this is working." She listened sympathetically, nodded and affirmed my not knowing. "I once sat a three month...

Gone Om-ing

From August 18th - August 25th I will be attending a silent meditation retreat and  will be completely off the grid. I will leave emergency numbers at the front desk and surrender my iPhone. In addition, we're advised to avoid reading, keeping a journal, receiving...

Overheard and Appreciated

As I was lying on my chiropractor's table waiting to be adjusted, his phone rang and I heard his salutation. "Hello, Chalfin Family Chiropractic, this is Seth. I can help you." That small realignment (pun intended) of words from "Can I?" to "I can!" struck me as...

When No Signage Makes Sense

I had a weird experience last week. If it weren't for positive word-of-mouth from a trusted friend, I never would have received this particular service. But M was effusive enough about it that I decided to give it a try. The lead-up to the event was as intriguing...

What You Focus On

While waiting for my editor to go through my entire manuscript, I faced a somewhat open calendar which quickly got filled in. A good friend and mutual seeker recommended a 21-day abundance meditation program she'd recently completed. At the end of her three week...

An Adventure While Waiting

If you read my most recent post, you know that I have a little bit of time on my hands. On Tuesday, with an afternoon and evening wide open, I decided to investigate a new grocery store chain I'd heard of: Aldi's. It was billed as kind of like Trader Joe's only...
