And Now For Something Completely Different…understanding consent

By Karen | April 18, 2019 |

There has been so much talk about what is and isn’t considered consent to engage in sexual activity in the wake of the #metoo and #timesup movements. And yet, people still don’t get it. I refuse to get into a political discussion on this topic, so please respect that.  Just to be clear, consent means…

Who’s Up For a Little Ecotherapy?

By Karen | April 16, 2019 |

Until recently, I had never heard of ecotherapy but now that I know what it is, I’m in. Ecotherapy refers to the benefits, both physical and psychological, of being in nature.

Procrastination…or why do today what you can put off until tomorrow

By Karen | April 11, 2019 |

How many times have you looked in the mirror and been critical of your body, your hair, your skin? How many times have you said negative things to other people about yourself? How many times have you said something like “I hate my (fill in the blank)?” We are often our own worst enemy, and…

Do You Meditate?

By Karen | April 11, 2019 |

Do you think the only people who can successfully meditate are Buddhist monks who sit on mountaintops?
