I have dreams. Big dreams. Before kiddos, I dreamed of creating the Barefoot Barn. I wanted to build a barn and retreat center in a beautiful spot surrounded by something vast in nature, create a community of like-hearted folks, and offer workshops and retreats to...

Last night I had this strange dream. Someone I am close to (not someone I know in my waking life) and I were in prison. Some other inmates were planning to gang up on us and things were about to get ugly. I’ll save you the details, but as things were heating up and I...

Living with my husband over the years, I have come to see that the ultimate of power and strength comes from gentleness. It sounds like an oxymoron. In this culture, we often get messages that tell that “getting ahead” or “being successful” are a result of brute...

A little while ago, the whisper came across my heart to do a meditation on my own death. This may be odd, given that during this time of year, with Christmas and the start of a new year, many of us are focused on birth, hope, and new beginnings. But for me, there is...

The other morning I woke up with some stomach bug. As I was running for the toilet to throw up, our three and a half year old comes to me and says, “Mommy?” Me: “Yes baby?” . I think I thought he’d ask me what’s wrong, why I was throwing up, or something like that....

Every client who comes into my office experiences the power of a simple technique that we do together… Mindful Breathing. Whether you are in rush-hour traffic, tending to a screaming kiddo, giving a presentation at work, or having a “discussion” with...

Two beautiful definitions that Jonathan Foust shared with me the other day. Hearing them made me exhale and relax. The power and impact of these quotes are still swimming in and taking up residence in my heart. I thought that they may inspire and resonate with many of...

The Poetry of Heaven Some days the way you smile at me is like heaven singing poetry to my heart, and I have enough sense to stop what I am doing and kiss this holy ground. Lisa McCrohan, copyright, 2010 When I stop for a moment in the hustle and bustle of the...

In the early hours of the morning way before dawn as my baby got up for what seemed like the tenth time that night with her ear infection, the thought came to me: “What if I saw this all as a privilege?” A privilege to be my children’s mom, to be Brian’s wife,...

Last night our little 3 1/2 year old A. woke up around 10 pm. I heard him at the top of the stairs, “Mama? Mama?” I ran upstairs and he folded into my arms. (And yes, he is still wearing his halloween costume. Read post here!). “What’s wrong,...

Today I have two great quotes! Both were sitting on my heart today. They are by the beloved Thich Nhat Hanh. “The miracle is not to walk on water. The miracle is to walk on the green earth, dwelling deeply in the present moment and feeling truly alive.” “Sometimes...

Enough. Enough playing small, shrugging our shoulders, nervously laughing, casting our eyes down when we’d rather be standing tall, feet firmly planted on the earth, heart and solar plexus reaching up to the sky. Enough belittling ourselves, second guessing ourselves,...
