I’m feeling a bit like the washed out path to the horses. With all the rain this week, the timing of this analogy is NOT lost on me. Physically Washed Out Tired. My visual system is especially tired of Zoom. 3 hours Wednesday, 9 hours Thursday. 9 hours Friday. And then volunteering for 4-H …

20 Years: Then and Now
20 years ago I was the contented owner of Evergreen Montessori School (for 3-6 year olds) and a new mom. Now, my oldest two just turned 21 and 19, but this article is NOT about them. 20 years ago a parent in my school attended a 2 hour Brain Gym® Introduction. She brought the handouts …
New Opportunities
What happens when you volunteer a copious amount of hours on a project? Sometimes, an opportunity presents itself offering a win-win for all. Such as this case for me as an International Faculty member of Breakthroughs International. I have been volunteering countless hours reviewing previous decisions and creating materials to match. In the midst, COVID-19 …
My Current Lens
*Disclaimer: tearfully and heartfully written on Sunday evening, May 31 Through the Eyes of Covid-19 I’m halfway through teaching an incredible vision course. There are 18 participants from 6 countries and multiple states. We are all living through a pandemic. United together in our quarantines around the world. Sharing the same “vision” if you will. …
Sensitive Vision of the Future
For four weeks, one whole month, I’ve led Movement Meet Ups on Fridays at 11 AM. Each week we began with a warm up for living in this crazy world. We did a Brain Gym® routine called “PACE,” to support ourselves in being Positive, Active, Clear, and Energetic. Repetition is good for the brain and …
What’s That You Say?
The hand that drives the laptop mouse is over worked. He’s complaining to his supervisor, the shoulder. The pecs in the front of the shoulder girdle are shortening in defense–they don’t like listening to complainers. The rib on the top is locked up and pissed off! The muscles around the shoulder blade are sending negative …
Are you having a movement?
Movement. Are you having one? Moment. How about some of those? I know I’m having plenty of both. Movement Meet Ups I’m offering FREE sessions every Friday morning at 11 AM Central Daylight Time. So far we’ve focused on the core, attitude, vision and posture–all biggies from our increased screen time. Check out my Facebook …
The Weight on My Shoulders
Pop! Back in July, I was in bed ALONE. I went to roll over. I heard a pop. It was from my right shoulder. How can someone get hurt rolling over in bed, alone? Commitments were plentiful. I didn’t have time to be injured. When it became clear the “pop” involved pain in the front …
House of Winners
“We live in a house of winners!” was the fist-pumping exclamation from the lunch eating young adult when his baby sister found out she won the Tractor Supply Good Neighbor Contest. It is an answered prayer, a dream come true—to have kids see the glass as half full instead of half empty. Every family member …
Increase Body Awareness for Increased Performance
Body Awareness It can be easy to stand on the ground and coach those on horseback. It is even easier to “see” the perceived problem. Have you ever watched someone who couldn’t leg yield or whose hands seem to magically raise when the eyes look up and out? When you say, “Lower your hands” their …
