Everybody has a Some Day
“And indeed there will be time” – T.S. Eliot, The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock January came and I imagined the year ahead, as I sometimes do. I know we’re supposed to stay in the present moment. And, I try. But, my imagination is just so darn tempting sometimes. I looked to spring. And... Continue Reading →
Earlier this year, we went to the mountains for a long weekend away. There’s something about the energy. And, also, the magical promise of snow. Of peace. We snuggled in for a cozy weekend and delighted in all it had to offer, including dinner at one of our favorite spots. By the time we headed... Continue Reading →
The theme of this Women’s History Month is “Celebrating Women Who Tell Our Stories.” It encourages “recognition of women, past and present, who have been active in all forms of media and storytelling including print, radio, TV, stage, screen, blogs, podcasts, and more” and “honors women in every community who have devoted their lives and...

Some days, we are running so hard and so fast that it gets hard to connect to the source. Things start to feel glitchy and slow. Disconnected. Disorienting, even. Perhaps we’re so in it. Or carrying so much we don’t know how to unload. Holding things tightly (again!). Too much happening. Pulled in multiple directions. ... Continue Reading →
It was one of those perfect fall hiking days where conditions, temperaments and energy all aligned. The air was crisp and cool. The sun, honey gold in the sky. Autumn leaves, kaleidoscope canopies alight in resplendent jewel tones. Bodies rested, bellies full, we set out to make it to the top of Tahquitz Peak and... Continue Reading →
It’s funny how life often teaches us the lessons we need to learn. And, funnier still, the peculiar places these lessons show up. This past week, I spent on the slopes. Or, (mostly) slope adjacent, to be more accurate. It should be said - I am not a great skier. All the less so on this trip. As a result... Continue Reading →
Lately, I’ve been reflecting on duality. Yin and yang. Happy and sad. Brave and afraid. Right brain and left brain. Today and Some Day. The question I keep coming back to – How do we hold both? Some Day & Today Life comes with tradeoffs. My today is both limiting and enabling. Empowering. Inspiring. So,... Continue Reading →
I love this time of year. For many reasons. One big part of this is that it is a time of transition. Transition into the holiday season (my favorite). The winter solstice taking us from darker and darker days to increasing light. Transition into the new year. New beginnings. Possibility. My career transitions have always... Continue Reading →
I woke this morning, as I sometimes do, to the feeling of a presence standing near my bedside. As my eyes slowly opened and adjusted to the dark, I saw the faint outline of my son. I asked if he was okay. No. Bad dream. I could tell it had really shaken him. I said,... Continue Reading →
I’ve often heard the refrain “Work to live. Don’t live to work.” While there is a lot in it that I can agree with, I’ve often heard it in response to me voicing my dreams of my Some Days and coupled with the message that, to aspire to find inspiration, joy and fulfillment in your...
