Are you waiting for something better than perfectly salted crackers at four o’clock in the afternoon? Are you waiting for something better than hot water pouring down your body and maybe the scent of lavender rising with the steam? Are you waiting for something better than your teenage kids playing Xbox in the basement, the [...]
Dear Thursday, Thank you for your rain. There's been rain here and there, plenty of clouds. But I've been longing for a good, solid, rainy day. You were that. Thank you for beginning with hot tea. For the banana. For the yin yoga that followed. When I walked into my bedroom to practice, the soft [...]

The ritual involves a few dedicated moments before I fall asleep each night. I don’t need my journal, I don’t need candles or essential oils, I [...]
Dear Thursday, Thank you for the morning tea and a good book. Thank you for breakfast with my daughter. Thank you for the wind, which I know not everyone likes (especially when the power goes out), but which I do. Thank you for the blustery walk in said wind (I think I cleared a few cobwebs [...]
When I feel stuck (on the page, in my life), I turn to gratitude. It’s the entry point to exactly where I need to be, always. So, at the end of this week, on this Friday, with a blank page in front of me and a certain amount of stuck-ness, well, here I go… for [...]
