Saturn returns are a sort of spiritual boot camp. They ask us to grow, to claim our inner authority, and to become more of who we truly are.

All loss begins a process of transition. Knowing how to navigate these transitions is key to creating a bigger, better next chapter.

We all face multiple, major transitions throughout our lives. They can be delightful, or they can be wrenching. Sometimes, they are both. Here’s how to survive the passage.

We’re almost there my friends. We’re at the finish line of 2020: the craziest, weirdest, most tumultuous, contentious, painful, scary, exhausting year that most of us have ever seen.

Loss and grief come in many forms, all of them real, all of them wrenching. My book, Grief Girl’s Guide, is here to help you with your grief.

Grief and gratitude go hand in hand. Knowing sorrow aligns your heart with gratitude.

It seems everyone I talk to is dealing with something serious and vexing. How do we create peace and some level of wellbeing even in the midst of suffering?

Death gifts us with these reminders: Appreciate freely. Love fiercely. Eat life in big bites. Don’t wait until the last, good day to embrace your beautiful, fleeting life.

Four years ago, I began writing a book.* I had something close to a first draft when I took it to a writer’s group. That first day, one of the members arrived late; she looked as if she had just been spit out of a terrible tornado and plopped, disheveled and wide-eyed, into a corn field. The cause of her distress? She had just published her first book.

No one wants to deal with the reality of loss and limitation but, ironically, limitations are what free us to become our fullest selves.
