BEHERENOW.me is my blog (and an indefinable target) that has evolved over the years.
A recent post about Unhooking… “I first landed on the concept of being “hooked” just a couple short years ago by Pema Chodron, a woman I consider to be a true teacher. Married twice, divorced, cheated on, had a family, had a career — I knew she was as “real” as me and I readily accepted her earthy wisdom and wry commentary on life.
at that time I had all kinds of hooks happening. … ”
My 40-DAY SADHANA ONLINE PROGRAM is a way to learn and integrate simple daily practices so as to move into each day grounded and centered and ready to become your best self. Starting 1/1/2017!
My personal journey in just the last 18 months included a break-up, loss of my step kiddos and no longer living in beautiful Telluride and Loveland, Colorado. The past years took me through nine knee surgeries, bankruptcy and the loss of my first partner of 16 years. yes, there was (is) the pain and suffering, and YES there is growth and sanity now. My gains and gratitudes have added up to more than I can begin to count.
In that way that our bodies know, and our egos refuse to listen, i started the journeys of meditation, coaching, therapy, and daily gratitudes, and journaling and sharing and alanon more than two years ago. My consistent and ever-enriching daily sadhana practice continues to grow me emotionally, spiritually, physically and professionally and I begin each day (mostly) at peace, and ready for all of life! I would be honored to help you in transforming your struggles into success through the creation of your own personal sadhana.
PHILANTHROPY :: wholeHearted Journeys is partnered with wholeHearted Journeys into Recovery, a for-purpose non-profit venture that serves up life skills to people in recovery from addiction. Recovery from addiction and into wholehearted living is a goal that is near and dear to me.
For me, success is a journey that includes good health, emotional stability and growth, energy and exuberance for life, fulfilling relationships, creative freedom, curiosity, material affluence, well being, peace of mind and spiritual pursuit of my divine — in short, an abundant and wholehearted life and lifestyle.
I believe in a more spiritual approach to success and affluence… and I desire to bring love to the table of life and experience the process of creation that results while inspiring others to do the same.
ps :: I am deeply inspired by the research and writing of Dr. Brené Brown. my website is an integration of the many parts of me and what I love, and love to do. “People who wade into vulnerability and tell the truth about their stories are the real badasses.”
What you see here is what you get, folks. If it resonates, let’s keep the conversation going. I embrace the wholeness of wholeheartedness, wholeheartedly. I’m all in, because, “We can’t be “all-in” if only parts of us show up. If we’re not living, loving, parenting or leading with our whole, integrated hearts, we’re doing it halfheartedly.” Gratitude to you Brené!
welcome to my place in the digital world.
