Sometimes I write.
Journaling, online or on paper, has always been a great way for me to process and share. It’s also one of the best ways to get to know me and all the experiences that create this life journey of mine.
Join me in the forest
Do you remember when we were free range children, running and playing outside and told not to come home until the sun starts to go to sleep? Before cell phones, before the Internet, before streaming EVERYTHING became a thing. Life was so much simpler then. It was okay to feel ‘bored’ and let our minds wander. It was okay to have downtime, just playing with sticks in the grass, noticing the moss on the logs and looking for treasures in the dirt. NOTHING else mattered but that present moment. Last year, my friend, Rachael West, and...

Massage table and floor now enhanced with grounding mats. When the days get shorter and the temperatures fall, it can be hard to reap the benefits of Earthing. It’s scientifically proven that earthing helps diffuse the many energy influences coming at us each day. The earth’s surface has a virtually limitless supply of mobile electrons that gives the ground we walk on (as well as lakes and oceans) a natural negative electric charge. When you touch your body to the ground, it dissipates static electricity and extraneous environmental...
read moreLet’s get honest about ‘Empty Nest’
Looking forward to them walking in the door, even tired and grumpy after work. Knowing what they’ve had to eat, if they’ve eaten, and who they are hanging around with. Seeing their car in the driveway when you wake up, knowing they are safe and sound. Having friends in your community say, “I saw your daughter today and she helped me or she made the best sandwich for me or she has the best smile!” My life took a drastic turn on Sunday, July 30. It was the day I realized that while I’ve thought I’ve been...

read moreI published a book for Nyah’s birthday!
These last couple of months have been a roller coaster ride. Thankfully, I was reminded of a scientist I was first introduced to about 20 years ago when I watched the movie What the Bleep Do we Know? which was followed up by the movie, The Secret, which is what introduced me to the Law of Attraction, which began to change my paradigm considerably. This scientist/author, Joe Dispenza, has been on trajectory for proving the power of the mind and its affect on the body for years now and again, I’m in awe of how my body and mid feels when I...

UPDATED – My little store in Republic closed the end of January 2024 and has been relocated within my new location! Ask and you shall receive! I’ve been looking for a place to showcase my Keith’s Cacao other than our spa and the opportunity presented itself this weekend to rent space in my hometown of Republic, Missouri, and it just happens to be where my most favorite human in the world works – my sister!

read moreFrom Tragedy to the Trees: The Journey of ForResting the Soul
Life has a funny way of nudging us towards unexpected paths, and mine was no exception. My journey with ForResting the Soul and its debut event coming up this fall, “Wildly Connected Above the Niangua,” was shaped by a series of transformative events, each playing a crucial role in altering my course. It all started with a life-changing decision to travel to Costra Rica for a Kundalini Yoga Retreat and then shortly after making that decision, I chose to become a Certified AccessBars® Practitioner through Access Consciousness®....

Enter the virtual cacao ceremony, a transformative experience that blends the healing benefits of cacao, guided self-massage for grounding and somatic response, and the power of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) for manifestation and releasing limiting...
read moreAddiction to the Chaos You Constantly Create
Addiction and Addictive Behavior Whew….this is a monster for me. Where do I even begin? My first sip of beer was at age four and even then, I had an awareness of what it felt like to be the life of the party, making people laugh and smile. I remember that feeling good. Wow, did I just write that? I guess so. I’ve had awareness of substances and their impact on human behavior since I was young, but it wasn’t until about a decade ago that I began to realize different human behavior patterns based on emotional addiction. We all...
