Unconditional Love
Thirteen years ago, as I was completing my journey through the Medicine Wheel (an over yearlong transformational process that teaches the tenants of Shamanism in the Q’ero tradition of the Andes), I was also embarking upon the adventure of a new relationship. During the Medicine Wheel training I had learned of the Quechua (pronounced keCHwa) word Munay (pronounced MoonEye), the word Munay translates as “love and will”. This word and its meaning were introduced to me as the concept of Unconditional Love.

Right Relationship
Quechua (pronounced keCHwa) is the name given to the language of South American Indians living in the Andean highlands from Ecuador to Bolivia. In Quechua there is a word, Ayni (pronounced Aini). Roughly translated means “today for you, tomorrow for me”. Ayni is the concept of being in reciprocity or what I like to think of as right relationship.
Knowing Your Mission, Talents & Gifts
For decades and decades, I found myself chasing one single question, what was my soul’s mission? What was my own reason for being here on earth? I can tell you that that question led me to explore many religious teachings, go on pilgrimages, attend self-development workshops and it led to the purchase of way more books than I would like to admit.

Knowing Your Inner Truth Teller
Recently I had come up with the tag line for my website and my logo, Wisdom Empowered Life. In the process of coming up with that line I had done a fair bit of soul searching. What was it exactly that I wanted to bring into the world? How am I being called to be in service? That searching helped me to align on my mission to help people develop a relationship with their own inner knowing, their inner truth teller and lead a wisdom empowered life from that place of knowing.

Zoom Gratitude
Last August my son Shane moved to Los Angeles to attend film school. My daughter Courtney lives with her husband Justin in Arizona. Before the pandemic hit, I had been traveling each week to Arizona to be at my client’s for work, Monday through Thursday. When I started traveling regularly to Arizona, I spoke to Courtney about getting together regularly, it was something that she and I were both excited to have the opportunity to do.

A Poem for times when you just can’t go there
This week when I sat down to write this blog I just couldn’t bring myself to go there, to talk about the uncertainty in the world, the fragility of life, the changes in relationships, all of it, all the hard stuff I just couldn’t bring myself to go there. I just needed beauty this week, even if for just a few minutes. Perhaps you too need a few minutes of beauty.
Sisterhood
I am the oldest of four girls, I guess with this “oldest” title came the automatic assignment of always being the one responsible for the others. I was capable, more than capable so when my mom left when I was nine and requested that I parent my little sisters I was flattered that she would see that I was capable.

I am not my story
Over the past month I have written each week about some of my experiences growing up, I did so because these experiences have come up frequently in my Writing Wisdom practice and I wanted to share not just the experience and the details of those moments from so long ago but I wanted to share what I see, feel and experience in them now from this safer, perhaps more comfortable place of looking at them as an outside observer far into the future.

Lessons from Mom – Choices
Ever since that morning over oatmeal when my mother told me that she was leaving, that she could no longer handle the burden of motherhood, that she needed to build her own life in her own way, my mother reflected to me the power of owning your own choices. While I rarely agreed with the choices that my mother made after that, she did at least make her own choices.
