When there is less of you, there is more of you. Less pounds? You have created openings for expression you did not have before. Less possessions? You have created more room in your space to fill with things you love or someone you love. Less social commitments? You have created room for more contemplation and […]
We are never really starting over, are we? Our do-over or new beginning stems from a rich history. I see this as I trim my spider plants that always birth baby plants. When I trim them off (the babies) and give them a soak (the roots are there), they grow bigger and better than they […]
Everyone needs a surface. This is the space that opens up creativity. When surfaces are cluttered and stacks of paper abound, pots and pans rule, unfinished projects are side by side and many opened containers of makeup, toothpaste, soap and Q-tips create a landscape, well, Genius is shut off. The mind can only hold so […]
Your space can be flexible like a rubber band that conforms to the shape it surrounds. Your space surrounds you and all of your changes. It expands and contracts with the changes you make.

Soon, we will become inundated with catalogues encouraging us to make choices for holiday-themed giving, eating and living. The pictures will encapsulate perfect place settings, families around a fireplace with green things and sparkles; everyone will be smiling and the sense of abundance will be clear. There is a lot of encouragement to “get the […]
Last week I was entering my grocery store and realized that I was feeling pushed out of the space. A plethora of displays for Halloween with multitudes of candy and goblins were in my way as I maneuvered my cart towards the vegetables. I realized something. Each holiday season, as I frequent the hubs that […]
We move so much more than things when we move. We move experiences, we move love, we move our life. Monopoly games, Chutes and Ladders, photos, dishes, posters, art. We move. When we move our bodies, it is the same. We move our life. We carry our life. Our life becomes mobile. There is more. […]
You know when you bake a cake and it looks like it’s done but it’s really not? Because right below the crisp top, it’s gooey. You discover this when you give it a little nudge with your finger. Now, the rest of it is okay even the part at the bottom that sits against the […]
