Teenage Girl Lying On Her Bed With A Pregnancy Test

I Am a Pee Stick Addict

By on March 30, 2013 in Health and Wellness for Badasses, Life Design, Career and Entrepreneurship, Love and Relationships

I had no idea there was a term for this funny thing I have developed about obsessively taking pregnancy tests. But after taking three today, I had to wonder if there was something a little off. I am almost 40 and trying to get pregnant, after all, so in a way it makes sense. But [...]

Days 183 to 189 Full On Family – An Ode to Nana Verzone

By on August 7, 2012 in Confidence and Courage, Full-On 365, Love and Relationships, Mindset and Spirituality

I thought I could dance. At least freestyle. But then I met my boyfriend’s almost 90-year-old grandma (aka Nana). We went to a wedding in Vermont, and it was also a good reason for me to meet Nana since she wanted to suss me out after learning that Thai and I were “serious.” She was [...]

Days 126 to 138 I Love You Dad

By on June 17, 2012 in Confidence and Courage, Full-On 365, Love and Relationships, Mindset and Spirituality

I am missing my dad. He died in 2008. This was two years after he had been told he was going to die in 6 months, and was subsequently kicked out of hospice when he was trying to get out of bed and they discovered that every bit of cancer in his 82 year old [...]

Days 57 to 60 – Besties

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

This post will be in bullet points, because things are a bit full on to write a loquacious one. You see, today I’ve got to drive from San Francisco to Oregon, and tomorrow I’ve got several kick-ass Ziji client calls, then a photo shoot (for the cover or a local magazine! Yeehaw!) then a Ziji [...]

By on February 26, 2012 in Love and Relationships

The past two days have been Full-On Family. We are driving – in four days – a total of 24 hours (11 hours on our longest day) to be with those we love on opposite sides of a different state. You see, a close family member got sick, and another got better, and it was [...]

Yesterday I caught 3 babies…three new human beings! Two boys and one girl. Sooooooo cute. One tiny, one huge, and one right in the middle. Ya know what’s full-on? A woman in labor! I sing the praises of the powerful women I was with yesterday. To witness the miracle of birth and the power of [...]

Days 6 and 7 – Moonlight and Forgiveness

By on February 7, 2012 in Love and Relationships

Last night I went for a full moon walk along Ashland Creek. It was gorgeous, with stars peeking out from under the feathered clouds. Then I sat on the swing and made my belly turn. I told my partner I appreciated his honesty and for not running away when things got uncomfortable. That was for [...]

Gratitude

By on January 22, 2011 in Mindset and Spirituality, Uncategorized

The Vitamin D fix…it is amazing what a little bit of sun can do for the soul. I went to the Big island of Hawaii and then to Kauai a few weeks ago. We had a surreal time kayaking with dolphins in Kaelakekua Bay, snorkeling in crystal-clear waters with our kayaks tethered to our waists [...]
