With Gratitude
What a full month! I simply wanted to reach out and wish each of you well as we finish this month. I recognize that the holidays can bring about great joy as well as great sorrow, and we can hold space for both. When we hold space for both, we experience more integration and authenticity, recognizing the complexity of being a human being and accepting more difficult emotions as part of life. When we can name what brings grief and pain, and name what we are grateful for, it seems that there is a more contented kind of grounding that occurs. I continue to find that this gratitude is often more tangible in the noticing of the little things! In that, I want to say thank you to each of you for you connection to my workâfor every person I sit with (or walk with!) in sessions, for every reader, for every podcast listener, and for every workshop, course, and event attendee, I am thankful for you. Thank you for sharing your lives with me.
Since this month is all about gratitude, be sure to check out a prior post on Grief & Gratitude & the Power of Story. Read more here. Also, if interested in reading Practicing Gratitude with Our Children: Keep it Simple, be sure to read more here.

I loved this recent opportunity to gather with mothers and daughters for connection, desserts, and then time to focus together on healthy relationship principles. Thank you to everyone who joined us, and I hope that your daughters are encouraged and have a clear understanding of their worth.
I enjoyed this opportunity to meet with the Gather and Grow group through Signal Mountain Presbyterian Church to share about wholehearted living. We talked about an invitation to know our worth, to live authentically, and to have open palms. Many thanks to this church for this opportunity!

Focus areas include anxiety and stress, grief, life transitions, relationships, and self-worth, yet work extends into depression and other areas. Counseling work is more comprehensive in terms of holding space for exploration of the past, present functioning, and future goals. More information on counseling can be found here.
