“When you fast, the Light will illuminate you and spread on earth.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi “Everyone has a doctor in him or her; we just have to help it in its work. The natural healing force within each of us is the greatest force in getting well. Our food should be our medicine. Our medicine [...]

Days 338 to 358 Keep It Simple, Stupid – but maybe not that simple

By on January 24, 2013 in Full-On 365, Love and Relationships, Mindset and Spirituality, Uncategorized

Wow…coming back from Africa hasn’t been easy. We got back, I worked in Oregon catching babies and visited with friends and family over the holidays, then we came back to Alaska and were here all of one week before leaving to go work in a village out in the bush. I also managed to launch [...]

Days 236 to 241 Slowing Down And Reconnecting With My Dad’s Spirit

By on September 29, 2012 in Confidence and Courage, Full-On 365, Love and Relationships

I like my hands now. I didn’t always used to. They were never long and dainty like the models’ hands that I saw in dishsoap ads growing up. They weren’t sinewy and powerful like the climber chicks’ I spent years hanging out with, either. They were…hands.  Didn’t hide ‘em. Didn’t flash ‘em. Didn’t think they [...]

Days 200 to 213 Loving Getting Older

This has been my birthday month, and I have just turned 39 awesome years old! For the 5 weeks after my birthday and before my boyfriend’s, it appears I am robbing the cradle – or maybe just borrowing from the cradle – when he says he is 37, which sounds like 2 years younger, hee [...]

Here I am at the summit of Flat Top with Campbell Creek below and Ptarmigan peak in the background (where I climbed the couloir with my partner one lovely spring 12 years ago!). Awesome after-work hike!

Days 163 to 171 – I Hate Waiting For The Other Shoe To Drop

By on July 20, 2012 in Confidence and Courage, Full-On 365, Mindset and Spirituality, Travel Adventure & Outdoors

I am so freakin’ happy I can’t stand it. Literally! It’s like my brain is so “logical” that it immediately starts calculating the statistics of how long this could exactly last. It is terribly annoying. I know I am not alone here. A lot of us, when things are going really well, remind ourselves that [...]

Days 87 to 90 – Flipping the Kayak and Getting Connected

By on May 1, 2012 in Confidence and Courage, Full-On 365, Love and Relationships, Travel Adventure & Outdoors

So…some of you may be wondering what happened after the kayaking trip? I flipped the packraft while following Thai into a rapid, and spent the rest of the trip mildly hypothermic, slightly pissed at him for taking me on a “float” trip with rapids (one called Horseshoe Falls or something!?), but also knowing mostly I [...]

Days 61 to 65 – Full On Abnormal (the odd girl out)

By on April 5, 2012 in Full-On 365, Love and Relationships, Most Popular, Multi-Passionism, Travel Adventure & Outdoors

It has been a totally “normal” last few days for me. However, to most it seems quite abnormal. For example, in one day, I saw midwifery patients, had coaching clients, was the model for a magazine cover shot at sunset (I got to hike during it!), taught a super fun Ziji Up Mastery Program workshop [...]

Days 41, 42 and 43 Burning the Candle at Both Ends

A part of me was secretly excited that my site was down for over 24 hours (all was good – it was maintenance). That’s because I was way too busy to write a post. And that’s the way it has been for the past 3 days, actually. I’ve been so busy, in fact, that I [...]

Day 40 – Girl Time and Kicking Anxiety’s Ass

By on March 12, 2012 in Confidence and Courage, Love and Relationships

I dropped him off at the airport, the man I love, and sent him to Alaska. I was actually OK with the whole thing because I’d be meeting up with him there Thursday;) THEN I went to my friend’s ranch, and met up with a bunch of midwives there. WE DID NOT DISCUSS WORK AT [...]

Days 32, 33, and 34 – Leaving the JOB

By on March 6, 2012 in Confidence and Courage, Full-On 365, Life Design, Career and Entrepreneurship, Most Popular, Multi-Passionism

How long have you thought about leaving YOUR J.O.B? I say “leaving” and not “quitting” because doing so really isn’t quitting at all. You are simply choosing something different. In any event, I have wanted to leave for so long. SO DAMN LONG. I love catching babies, and I love midwives, and I love my [...]
