A Note To My Visitors
I have struggled with anxious thoughts throughout my life. From a young age, I was in therapy, but I still didn’t find lasting relief from my worries and fears. Then, in May 2019, I was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer—a life-altering moment. Anxiety and fear became an overwhelming force in my life.
Let me explain how I discovered a way out of being controlled by anxiety. At the encouragement of a nurse navigator, I joined a meditation support group. This experience opened the door to mindfulness, which became a powerful tool in my healing and in managing the intense stress of my treatments.
Learning to train my mind to stay in the present moment and not be trapped in endless catastrophic thoughts helped calm my anxiety, improve my sleep, manage my pain, and bring a sense of balance and hope back into my life.
Inspired by my own transformation, I wanted to share the practices I learned that helped me heal emotionally, mentally, and physically.
This work is from my heart. I know the pain of anxiety, but I also know the way through - to be happier, more relaxed, and more optimistic about the future. Helping others find peace, just like I did, is what I’m meant to do.
If something in my story speaks to you, I’d love to hear from you.
You’re not alone—and when you’re ready, I’m here to listen, support, and guide you.
My Vision
My Vision is to create a world where no one feels alone and no one is ruled by the constant cycle of anxious thoughts, fears, or worries - where they can navigate life’s changes - where healing, peace, and clarity are within reach, even in life’s hardest moments.
My Mission
My Mission is to support others through anxiety, fear, and life’s uncertainties with compassionate, innovative, practical, and effective solutions. By quieting racing thoughts, reconnecting to the present moment, and rediscovering inner calm, they will no longer have to walk their path alone.

Embracing Stillness & Relaxation: Cultivating Inner Peace and Tranquility
There is a quiet magic in stillness
like freshly fallen snow blanketing the earth.
It quiets the roughness of our hurried lives, offering a space to rest and breathe. Every time we get a big snowfall, I am so comforted by the silence. The world seems to slow down, and it reminds me that peace is not something to take for granted. It is already here, waiting beneath the surface.
Embracing stillness means taking moments of intentional quiet where your mind and body can rest without outside distractions. This doesn’t mean you need to be sitting in a meditative posture; you can be just sitting quietly in nature or in a place where you can be undisturbed and take time to breathe deeply.
Relaxation is the doorway into this quiet. Imagine your body releasing its weight into the chair beneath you, as though the earth itself is holding you. Each breath moves like a gentle tide, melting away tension. Muscles loosen, shoulders drop, and your inner self begins to settle like a snowflake floating lazily to the ground.
Inner peace often doesn’t surface during times of stress but starts with grounding practices like deep breathing, meditation, and self-reflection. It may arrive during my meditation, As Snowflakes Fall, on a cold winter’s day, in a warm log cabin, by the warmth of a fire, looking through a large window out at the falling snow, or in the simple rhythm of your breath. When we notice these moments, we discover that tranquility is not a place we go, but a state of being we return to, we want to return to . . again . . and again.
Cultivating this peace is a practice of attention, of intention. It is choosing to pause when the world says “hurry.” It is listening for the quiet between sounds, the silence between thoughts. Each time we turn inward, we touch the calm that lives within us, steady and unshaken.
Being able to find stillness will calm your mind allowing you to feel more at peace and less stressed out.
One of the practices that I have incorporated into my life is that when I finish work, I spend at least 10 minutes doing nothing … yes, doing nothing. No TV, computer, phones, books, cooking, talking. I sit on my deck (weather permitting) and stare out. I breathe. When I start thinking about other things, I bring myself back to my breath. I don't beat myself up about it. I just bring my thoughts back to my breathing every time. I’ve been doing this every day, or as much as possible, because it is not possible to become a master without practice. I’m building up to 20 minutes each day.
This practice helps me break the work cycle. I actually sleep better at night.
This week, let yourself rest in stillness. Feel how even one mindful breath can shift the weight you carry. Allow the quiet to wrap around you like a soft blanket, reminding you that you are safe, whole, and peaceful.
Tranquility is yours to return to, again and again, like snowflakes falling gently, endlessly, within.
