to the moon and back:
a childhood under the influence
Share the Hope
Lisa Kohn’s memoir of being raised in and torn between two conflicting worlds. There was the world she longed for and lived in on weekends – her mother’s world, which was the fanatical, puritanical cult of the Moonies – and the world she was forced to live in during the week – her father’s world, which was based in sex, drugs, and the squalor of life in New York City’s East Village in the 1970’s.

Exactly where you are is perfect
It’s as simple as a breath for me. It works every time. When I mindfully pause, and breathe, I remember the perfection that is now. That is me. It’s so easy to get caught up in all I have to do and all that hasn’t happened. (Especially with the book.) It’s so easy to...
Be nice to you
Sometimes I think there is an epidemic of us not being nice to ourselves. I notice it in my friends, myself, my clients, pretty much all around. I was reading a post by Jenny Lawson (The Bloggess) about her depression. I watched myself feeling so proud of her and what...

Last week I met with a church member to discuss #tothemoonandback. Always weird and wild to be back there. Even more weird and wild to have that conversation.

Someone I love sent this to me. I think, perhaps, many of us could use this reminder.
