I always thought of instinct as something to protect myself. I still do, but it’s much bigger and better than that. Instinct is when we feel a connection or a disconnection with a thought, an action, a person, an event. We must listen to our instinctual responses to the world around us. What do I …
Have you ever spent a week, a day, or even an hour in nature? How did you feel after? I’d say, it feels pretty amazing. It’s almost as if we’ve returned to our roots and to our true selves. There is no denying that humans and nature are connected. First, water makes up the majority …
Have you spoken to a robot lately? I think we all have. Most customer services are answered by a friendly computer for years now. And how about our attentive friends, Siri and Alexa?

It’s that time of year when we celebrate parents – May and June. All of the sacrifices, all of the love, all of the energy, all of the money, and all of the time. I had a BIG wish to get pregnant for years. It was a childhood dream and an answered prayer after years …
