Wednesday, September 10th, 2008Musing on what I’m “passionate” about has been swirling in my life lately: researching and writing books (and getting them published!), creating products that bring an abundance of spirit to all, readying to move in to my little “green” cabin on my magical “bed of crystals” mountainside, being in the glory of these beautiful western [...]
By the Numbers: “Counting” Gratitude
Friday, August 8th, 2008 If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, “thank you,” that would suffice.
-Meister Eckhart, 14th century
Numbers play a big part in planning a wedding: the size of the guest list, how many attendants to have, the price of the reception, the size of your wedding’s carbon imprint. Whether it’s [...]
THE MAGIC OF COLLABORATION
Saturday, July 26th, 2008
Several people have asked recently how I came to make my OPEN YOUR HEART Meditation CD. So I’ll share the story as told in one of my newsletters last fall with brides-to-be in mind…but for everyone to enjoy!

I remembered how we would pick armloads of wildflowers in the piney woods of our Alabama farm, and then surprise [...]
HOW DO I RELAX?
Wednesday, May 21st, 2008I recently participated in one of those giant bridal extravaganzas where dozens of vendors displayed their wares and services to several thousand assorted visitors: future brides with various support teams in tow. The fancy hotel ballrooms were bustling with brides-to-be of all shapes, sizes, and expectations (with upcoming weddings in a couple of months to [...]
VEILED
Wednesday, May 7th, 2008Waterfalls are a delight of nature that I enjoy finding wherever I travel. There are many around the Cullasaja Gorge region near Highlands, North Carolina, in an area close to where I’ve recently moved. A small waterfall named Bridal Veil Falls caught my attention recently — a rather sheer, narrow spray that drops right at [...]
Love Is Breathing Into the Heart
Wednesday, March 12th, 2008I’ve worked with thousands of brides through the years and I’m aware that planning a wedding can put brides-to-be in the middle of an emotional journey — a rite-of-passage of inner growth and discovery that can get a bit bumpy at times.
