Reflections :: Self-contemplation helps you follow-through
Two weeks ago I posted about the “feminine” function of the psyche, what we might easiest call our emotional and intuitive inner life. In depth psychology, we name this the anima. A common wound in our logic-driven society is to thwart the needs of the inner life, to repress ourselves. It is a theme I write often about, how to gently recognize if we are hurting ourself by focusing too much on doing rather than being. Nurturing the inner function is a priority for a healthy individual. It extends to deeper, more authentic relationships, families, communities and so forth. The relationship with yourself is the starting point! To…

Dandelion Moms Project Kindness :: Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry Campaign
What is the dandelion moms Project Kindness? Well, every month we select an organization that is helping others in some capacity. One month we supported a grassroots non-profit organization that was helping to create a library filled with books in a small town in the the Dominican Republic. Another month we supported the Project Night Night that helps children in shelters feel safe and loved with a special tote bag that is filled with a children’s book, blanket and a stuff animal. It warms my heart to see our lovely dandelion moms helping in any way they can – even if it is sharing the post about an organization helping others and getting…

I am Taking the BlogHer NaBloPoMo November Challenge!
Lately, I have needed a kick in the you know what to be inspired to get my daily posts up. Some days the creative juices aren’t flowing and it can be tough to be inspired every day to write something that you think your readers will find inspiring, useful, or interesting. That is why when I read about the BlogHer NaBloPoMo November Challenge, I thought this just might be the thing to get me back on track and start blogging/posting with fresh eyes. Basically, the challenge is to write a post daily. That’s it. But if you know about the writing process – it isn’t always that easy to write good…

What to do with all that Halloween Candy?
Wow! That was a ton of fun last night! I volunteer at my daughter’s school every Thursday in the morning and it just so happened it fell on Halloween this year. I loved to see all the kids dressed up and they were so excited they could barely sit still in their seats! Last night, we couldn’t find the plastic Halloween pumpkin my daughter usually uses to go trick-or-treating, so my husband grabbed a pillowcase. You know, what we used as kids! She thought it was cool to do the “old school” way! But what to do with all that candy? Here are some ideas on what to do with the candy that could help others in need (including…
