She Fell in Love….   With no one to fall on.  The first time I heard that line from that song I thought “Oh my that’s me.”  I can still picture the CD cover for the band, Frostbite.  Black with red on it, and the Frostbite name in ice along the top. Jack (yes Frost)…

She came to see me in my office after a suggestion from her manager. I sat at dinner with her manager and she shared some of the struggles this woman was having; anxiety, perhaps depression.  As she shared with me, I shared my story. The manager asked if I would be willing to meet with…

Ding. The familiar sound of a text message rang from my bedroom. I walked to the phone and read, “I have a meeting until 6, do you want to grab a bite?” I smiled. I had just thought about the fact that I hadn’t seen or heard from her in week, and whether I should…

Her phone calls come at the right time all of the time. Today was no different as this was perfect timing .  I was just beginning to beat myself up a little. And I was in pain, physical pain and emotional pain. I didn’t realize the latter,  that came out as we talked. Her clairvoyance…

After a particularly trying few days, I couldn’t wait to get home and take a hot soothing bath. I love the smell of the lavender candles, the lavender Epsom salts and the heater on in the bathroom to make the entire room cozy and warm. The lighting is generally low and on this evening I…

She looked beautiful as always. Her long curls cascading over her shoulders in a new deep caramel color. Always dressed casual chic, she exudes charisma and sexiness although based upon the conversation does not see herself that way. It is obvious that happiness feels as if it is elusive, and figuring out how to be…
