Hey friends, I am on week 3 of a new season of life. My first grandchild was born 3 weeks ago today. One week ago I became the Executive Director of the New Hampshire Council of Churches. My group coaching program returns next Wednesday at noon. For the summer we will be talking about tools to Fill Our Soul with Sunshine. What’s your favorite self care tool? I’ll share mine in the comments.

Everyone : on one of our calls, I committed to listening and reviewing the podcast of my fellow pod sisters. So far I have done Kelly’s, Erin’s, and Christine’s (on Apple podcasts)…Shabana- yours is next.. @Monica Stein - is your podcast prana and possibilities? If I’ve missed anyone who has an active podcast, please comment here. Let’s support each other with reviews.

Hey friends. I had a chance to go to California for a few days and escape the bitter cold of New England. It was absolutely beautiful!! The best part was having time to think about where I’d like my energy to be invested in these final weeks of winter. I’ll be sharing my thoughts in this space. My thought for today, is I am beloved. You are too!! From that place of deep love for yourself, what do you want to do more of or less of today? The photo below is from my first moment seeing the Pacific Ocean. I definitely want to spend as much time as possible by the water 💕

You may have chosen to go slowly through January without creating any BIG goals. That is what I did. If you are ready to choose one small step to help you align your energy in February, what will you choose? Last year, I spent 2 weeks in North Carolina and got up each morning to watch the sun rise. If I stayed inside on a cold day, I used that time to stretch. If it was "warm" enough to go to the beach to see the sunrise, I would spend the first minute of the day listening to the ocean and watching the dophins swim by! Today my small goal for February is to stretch or go for an easy walk when I get up. If you have a goal or intention for February, share it here. I would love to hear it.

We’re expecting 2 feet of snow today. I’m working on my podcast and organizing the rest of my cabinets. What are you doing today?
