I believe this wholeheartedly and will add that with so many cultures having similar practices - this cannot be overlooked. Asian, Native American, and Hispanic are among just …
Fall Into Change
Last week, I pulled the Death card for all of us, and I have been LIVING this card!! Fortunately, no one died, but in my home, we’ve reached the end of an era: Gianna is moving into her new home as we speak! So – a “reset” is in the works in both my personal and professional life. In other …

Personal Initiations
One of the definitions for an “initiation” is “the act of beginning something’ – or going from one “way of being” to another. For me, my initiation was more about ending something. About a month ago, I ran across a book called “The Alcohol Experiment” by Annie Grace. For the experiment, you …
