I am a late bloomer in the marriage and parent department. Certainly I would place check marks next to key line items on that list of 100 Pivotal Things to Do in Life. I simply wasn’t sure about the timing. Busy with grad school and starting a business, my priorities were elsewhere. Ron, the mailman, […]
This piece was written in 2007. Yet ladybugs keep on showing up. Last Friday I had to put down Scrappy, my beloved dog and best buddy for 12-years. My German grandmother had a fascination with the VW bug cars. Every time she spotted one, she would shout with joy, “Kaefer” which means bug/ ladybug in […]
This won’t be easy. I’m choking back tears as I write. But I am also smiling on the inside. Every so often I am asked about my past: Where did I grow up? Tell me about your last name. How is it that you rode your bicycle across America and then in the middle of […]

Almost 15 years ago, my mother passed away from an unexpected and brief bout with lymphoma. Always hiking, teaching yoga, owning a spiritual bookstore, living in Vermont, mowing 10 acres of grass like it was no big deal, going on travel adventures, concocting evil looking but ever so healthy green smoothies, chasing down my sisters […]
Here I am with my coach, Dr. Kevin Pallis. See that fire behind us? Once it dies down a bit, my coaching tribe and I are going to walk barefoot across a bed of burning embers. Crazy, huh? And that coach…Dr. C – you talk about him a lot but he looks pretty unobtrusive…normal, dare […]
I am grateful because you were courageous. Let me tell you why. By picking up the phone and scheduling your first chiropractic appointment, you dared to be different.
