These Days of Limbo – September 2, 2018

Dear Friends, My youngest baby will be leaving the nest for college in 14 days. These last weeks have seemed to go on so long—more bitter than sweet. I want to drink in every moment, and at the same time, my daughter is sometimes pushing me away as she prepares. She...

Unlocking the Code of Your Life – August 26, 2018

Dear Friends, Have you ever forgotten what you did last weekend? Not to mention last year or a decade ago? We literally run through our lives these days, barely integrating, or even remembering, the hundreds of experiences we have every week, month and year. Those...

Dear Friends, Do you get outside as much as you’d like to? Last week I learned that, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the average American spends 93% of their life indoors. Concerning, sad and not surprising. Most people work indoors, and work...
