Feeding the Soul by Finding My Life’s Mission
My adolescent soul was hungry for belonging and acceptance. As I matured, I felt the longing for meaning and purpose becoming stronger…and with that came a deep dissatisfaction with what I saw around me. The world that I experienced was in sad shape, and I believe it may be in worse shape now. I became ...
Finding My Way with Food
Food is the nemesis of many women and girls. We crave it, we need it, we avoid it, we hate what it does to us, and we think about it much of the time. When we cook, grocery shop, eat, plan parties, worry about what our family members are eating…we are also drawing on our own ...
Rewriting the Script of Adolesence
Adolesence was hell for me. My body was out of control, and I felt so much shame of my “femaleness” that I wanted to hide. When I created the attached SoulCollage(R) card, I felt like I was getting to do my transition to womanhood over again…. This card has shown me that I can go back ...

Home Making for My Soul
I was born in the 1950′s. My ideas about home and Mom and nurturing and comfort live in that era. My body came of age in that time. I often feel the need to go back there to reclaim something important….something about reconnecting my heart to my mind and my body. A key to a ...
My Quest to Create a Home for my Soul on Earth
Like many of you, I have spent most of my life at war with my body. I didn’t like it. It seemed to make me a target as a child: for teasing, for abuse, for criticism from “well meaning” adults and from myself. I remember being 8 years old, sitting next to my mother in ...
