• Intuitive Tuesday–Act Like A Duck…Be A Duck

  Last week while in California, all the family issues and dynamics I’ve been trying to hold at bay came swirling into my awareness. I’d taken my daughters to California in an effort to take a vacation from it all. But, as with any “geographic,” everything came right along with me. Sibling relationship issues, my mother-daughter [...]

• Footprint Friday: Bellisima Green Challenge: Start An Inspirational Movie Night!

  Last night, Bellisima Living teamed up with Collage to show another thought-provoking film–our third in our summer movie series. We had a circle of women in attendance who all found the movie full of powerful and insightful messages. The film, How To Cook Your Life, by German filmmaker Doris Dörrie, documents a summer in the [...]

• Magical Monday–21 Days to Change?

  “Studies have shown that it takes 21 days of consistent behavior to change a habit or create a new one, such as establishing a regular exercise routine, eating a healthier diet, or taking time each day for self-care.” That’s what the Chopra Center reported in a recent email invitation I received. That’s three weeks. Does [...]

• Soulful Sunday–Food Glue

  Since June, food has been in the forefront of my thoughts. First, there was the trip to Italy in the second half of June where my mom, my sister and I savored the wonderful delights of Northern Italian cuisine–my clothes still don’t quite fit as they should… Many of the foods, and the ways in [...]

• Magical Monday–The Invitation

  Today is my birthday and I am filled with immense joy and gratitude as I celebrate my good health and the vitality and vibrancy of my life. Today I feel the awesome power of being in mid-life–of being a crone. I feel the calling and invitation to continue to create the life of my dreams [...]

• Footprint Friday–Bellisima Green Challenge: A Mouse In the House!

  One evening before I left for Italy, we discovered a baby field mouse in our house. It had apparently entered through the back door along with our cat and dog. My daughter Alix was awakened by our cat making sounds she’d never heard before and realized Smokey was chasing and batting around this baby mouse. [...]

• Wellness Wednesday–Ciao from Italy!

  It’s midnight in Italy–the start of a new day, Wednesday! We’re on our way to Venice after spending time in Lake Como, Milan, and a small town in Tuscany–Marginone–the birthplace of my maternal grandmother who was born in 1898. While here in Tuscany, we’ve visited a few other towns and cities, including Florence and Lucca. [...]

• Magical Monday and Intuitive Tuesday–Heart Rocks!

  Each morning as I’ve walk the ridgeline trail we recently discovered, I’ve been greeted by the blooming wildflowers and the many plants with buds readying to open. The patches of color amongst the green are like fairies dancing before my eyes.
  On my walk yesterday, I was on the lookout for new flowers, but what [...]

• Footprint Friday–Bellisima Green Challenge: Take a Walk On the Wild Side!

  Today my challenge is for all of us to get outdoors this weekend and take a walk on the wild side.
  Where I live in Colorado–at about 6300 feet–the wildflowers are in bloom. A few weeks ago, I and my family discovered a wonderful ridgeline trail near our home. We’ve made it a point to walk [...]

• Wellness Wednesday–Weeds

  Yesterday afternoon, I went outside to begin weeding my side yard. I soon found myself trying to decide what to pull and what to leave. I’d intended to pull everything growing where only rocks were supposed to be. However, when I first walked into the yard, I encountered this wonderfully fragrant scent. It was so [...]
