Hi All! I’m back from my hiatus and ready to share a little of what happened during that time with you. It’s not all wine and roses, but it’s well worth talking about.

I’ve been trying to focus on positive news stories, as per my counselor’s advice, so today I talk a little about loving-kindness meditation and why you might not be “over” a painful childhood.

My interview is with Jim – though it was recorded some time ago, so you may hear some time references that don’t quite fit.

I’m hoping to put more content out soon, so stay tuned!
