Laws of Attraction – As Reiki Becomes a Way of Life
Coming up to 7 months of living an alcohol free life as well as following a regular, early morning self-care practice that includes Reiki self-treatments, I’m noticing a shift in who I attract in my life and how this flows over into my small Reiki practice. What I have to compare this to is when…

Approaching 50 Years Old…
In less than 2 months, I will be turning 50 years old. Turning 50 has been on my mind since January, knowing this is the year I earn the honor of saying I’m half a century old. But I didn’t think turning 50 was an honor back in January. In January my mindset was I…

It’s Official – I’m NOT in Menopause!

Little Ditty About Love
Here, at the age of 49, I’ve had another “aha” moment about love. A more mature, deeper “aha” moment. A new understanding of the many dynamic layers within an authentic, healthy love.
