Welcoming Change
I’ll admit that fall is not my favorite season. I’ve always had a hard time with the loss of seemingly endless days in nature’s beauty, digging in the dirt, planting seeds, and the manifestation of possibilities that spring and summer bring. To be truthful this year there is full-throttle resistance inside me as the season […]
Montreal museum partners with doctors to ‘prescribe’ art
Western medicine is awakening to the value of creativity as a vehicle for healing! Well, 30-years into this all I can say is…”Welcome to the tribe!” Lol!

I wrote a story picked up by Elephant Journal, in an effort to move […]
Creative Expression: Moving Through Collective Grief…
So many of you have written to me of your feelings of helplessness in witnessing the devastation caused by the Lake County fires and wondering how you can help. I have been feeling helpless too, so in a meditation, I asked how I could be of support today and this came through. At the end […]
Turnout Creative
I have had the pleasure of getting to know psychotherapist Courtenay Blackwell Gueta, owner of Turnout Creative and Turnout Counseling.
