Sunday dinner with my mom, husband and the teenage Sunday dinner with my mom, husband and the teenager. Sheet pan rosemary, paprika, lemon chicken with avocado, red onion, basil feta sauce on naan (recipe from @halfbakedharvest) + a berry galette (recipe from @smittenkitchen) -- and yes I make the galette dough from scratch! Next I'll learn how to make naan. My husband just walked in from a bike ride and stood there really taking in the whole scene with such appreciation -- it was really beautiful to feel🧡 #sundaydinner #berrygalette #whatsonyourtable #familytradition #homecook
I've been hiking on my favorite trail again a lot I've been hiking on my favorite trail again a lot lately. I absolutely love bringing Blue Bear with me. I've hiked these trails for almost 30 years and I've always been saying hello to all the other puppies. I once had a husky wait for me on the trail and then he hiked with me for a bit plus lots of kisses like we were long list companions. But now I have Blue who is old enough and trained enough to join me. I switch up my body movement all the time otherwise I'm bored and lately I'm craving nature and so excited to see the wildflowers coming up. Also it thundered and rained on us today while we jogged down the trail and that was amazing. #bouldercolorado #hiking #bodymindspirit #favoritehike #naturesbeauty
Why Somatic Tools are Essential to Money Work You Why Somatic Tools are Essential to Money Work Your mind and body had a relationship with money long before you began your money work. Before you began to write your money story, they held it for you, narrating the money lessons and beliefs you’ve inherited and internalized from your family, culture, community, and your own lived experiences of survival, safety, stability, and enoughness. Because your money story isn’t just an external expression of your current financial circumstances, it is life-long and ever-unfolding, alive in the thoughts and beliefs of your mind and the emotions and physical sensations of how your body responds in the moment. You feel it in the shock of receiving an unexpectedly expensive tax bill, in the joyful sense of empowerment you feel when you finally pay off your student loan or your mortgage, and in the discomfort that sits at the table when the subject of money comes up with your sweetie. From shame, anxiety, anger, fear, guilt, sadness, and the urge to fight, flee, or freeze to the expansiveness of hope, joy, excitement, confidence, and everything in between, learning to understand your money emotions is an essential life and money skill. It is how you uncover your money story, bring healing to the past, and begin to write a new chapter. This learning journey can feel uncomfortable and overwhelming... But by practicing being present in your body, you can learn to turn inward & bring awareness and compassion to these sensations and emotions. This gift of self-regulation, the somatic term for feeling safe in your body no matter what, is one of the hidden treasures waiting to be uncovered in your money journey. Growing up, I learned to self-regulate through dance. I also started therapy as a teenager. My desire to combine these two modalities is why I went to graduate school to earn my Master’s in Somatic Psychology in 1998. The hands-on, experiential, body-based training I received over those years of learning & personal growth was life-changing. Today, I want to share 3 of my favorite body-based practices to support you through the ebbs and flows of life and money. (head to blog) #somatictherapy #financialtherapy

Big rest and acupuncture day over here. After I tr Big rest and acupuncture day over here. After I travel I try to remember to give myself a transition day. All 3 kitties keep checking in with me. And I'm reading this book, The Candy House. I've wanted to read this author, @jennifereganwriter for a while. Have you read her other books? I'm loving the storytelling and writing and one of the small characters has the name Bari, which I've never experienced in a book before. Reading is one of my happy places. #read #reading #whatimreading #booklover #fiction #novelsaremyfavorite #kittyfamily #thecandyhouse #jenniferegan
