Life As A Conscious Mom

The other morning I was in the kitchen putting the dishes away when Caidin came in. He had his Wisdom Cards in his hand and he said, ‘I haven’t used these in a while. I pulled two cards: Speaking and Create.’ Inside I was so happy that he had turned to the cards without my…

I mentioned it a few weeks ago, but I’ll say it again, Caidin is going through a challenging growth period. This isn’t a physical one; it’s one that has elements of spiritual awareness, emotional growth, mental awareness and add to now his need to find some way to understand the killings in Connecticut. The unique…

I am still reeling from the Sandy Hook tragedy, as I know many are. I am sad and I am angry. 20 beautiful lights are lost and it is unfathomable. It has touched us all – young and old; Republican and Conservative, and from near and far. Let not the lives of these beautiful children…

I was at the Mall on Friday, tidying up the Canstruction® event and waiting for my son’s class to come and see it. His school was so excited to be a part of this regional event, they sent the entire school, class by class, to see the sixth grade class’ entry and to bring canned…

Cupcakes to me mean celebration. I love them. I love that they are small and can be individually decorated. So I’m always making cupcakes. In fact when someone shares something positive in one of my classes, I’ll often respond with ‘Cupcakes for all.’ When we bought our house outside of New York City, a client told me that she…

It’s happening. My little boy is growing-up. He is shifting and beginning to move through that little boy to young man stage. I never imagined how challenging this time would be or could be, both for me and for him. He’s coming up on 9 years old and he is becoming aware of so many…

I love this time of year. I love the excitement and the good cheer and the decorating. But there is one thing I don’t love and that’s hearing parents use Santa as a threat. I heard it yesterday, ‘you better be good, or Santa won’t bring you anything.’ That’s one thing we have been very…

Every so often Caidin goes through phases where he needs to test out and try on the behaviors of others. He happens to be in one of those phases right now. Now, if you have kids, you might be thinking, ‘they all do that,’ and they do. In fact, we all do. I know adults…

Cinnamon isn’t just for flavor. It has a powerful healing nature based in its carminative (ability to break up gas) and anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. In ancient times, because of its healing properties, cinnamon was invaluable and considered as valualbe as gold or silver. When we get sick today, we don’t think of our pantry as a source…

I just returned from India. I was there for ten days and that is the longest I have been away from Caidin, ever. When Caidin was born, I made a commitment to be fully present for him as he grew up. I put speaking on hold for the first two years.  I tried returning to speaking in…
