When someone we care about goes quiet, or their actions feel distant or out of character, it’s natural to feel hurt or even abandoned. Relationships bring us so close to each other that any shift can feel deeply personal. But what if, instead of reacting with frustration or disappointment, we approach them with curiosity and compassion? Sometimes, silence or withdrawal isn’t about us—it’s a sign of their own struggle, a heavy season they’re carrying alone. Life brings each of us seasons where survival, healing, or simply making it through the day takes all the energy we have, leaving little left to pour into the people and connections we love most.

In those moments, it helps to remember that love doesn’t vanish just because someone doesn’t have the capacity to show it. Their withdrawal isn’t a reflection of their feelings for us but rather of the weight they’re trying to carry. If we can step back from our own feelings of neglect, we might be able to hold space for them in a way that eases their burden. Perhaps what they need most is to know we’re there, with open hearts, understanding that sometimes love means giving each other room to come and go as we heal. And if they can’t reach out, maybe they need us to trust that their silence isn’t a goodbye, just a pause in the conversation.

Thank you Tiffany Luginbill Wallach for reminding me of the benefits of cabbage/juice for healing the gut, in my case an ulcer. I still don’t have confirmation yet as to what is going on, but I’m pretty sure this is what it is. I go in for an endoscopy on September 3. I went into the local Whole Foods market here in Bozeman Montana, but it is very small. Oddly, they did not have any cabbage. So I picked up this instead. I have eaten this many times but it’s been a while. I also picked up some digestive enzymes which are part of the protocol that I will be starting soon. I’m just waiting for everything to come in the mail. Has anyone ever tried this kraut mix before?

Stress can catch up with you, and it’s caught up with me. I’ve developed an ulcer and will be having an endoscopy on September 3rd. I’m usually a private person, but I’m sharing this in the hope that it might help someone else. Stress is sometimes unavoidable because life has a way of dropping nukes without our permission.

I always try to heal naturally—through food, nature, sleep, movement, love, and the like—but sometimes it’s not enough. I’ve been on Zoloft for a while, which has helped me tremendously, but I need to wean off because some treatments I’m exploring don’t mix with SSRIs. I’m absolutely not against medication; it can be life-changing and even life-saving. But right now, my body is screaming for deep healing.

I’ve been in a long season of challenges, questioning why these trials have come my way. It’s tested my faith, forcing me to lean in hard. This drink every morning is of the things I’m doing to heal my tummy (and everything else going on down there) Pretty sure it’s gonna put some hair on m chest too. 🥴🐾

Sending love to anyone going through a rough patch—take care of yourself, and don’t be afraid to seek help.

My baby girl is in her 3rd year of University, but first day of class in person in over a year, since COVID. This pandemic has been so tough on our kids, then the added challenge of her parents getting a divorce. We started our real estate company earlier this year, rising above what life has thrown at us. Creating a legacy business with my daughter and hopefully my son one day, is a dream and a reflection of my, our determination to beat the odds and inspire other families to do the same. I love you darling daughter!

Who is that girl behind the mask of divorce? A traumatic event such as divorce brings changes to the meaning, safety, and predictability of the world. I knew this to be true in my own divorce. I had become so beaten down as a result of the process of divorce, I felt as though I had lost the ability to discern and make sound decisions. I didn’t know who I was anymore and quite frankly I am still on that journey of self discovery. One thing I have discovered and I do know for certain is that “me” was always there. Always! She never went anywhere. She did not disappear into the abyss of grief and shame. She was just sitting there in the corner waiting for my best self to re-emerge and stand with her without judgment, directing, or telling her what she needed to do or not do or how in adequate she was. No! As soon as I allowed myself to be with her again it allowed her internal capacity to surface. This is exactly what I do with my clients. My clients offer many opportunities to dig deeper into an area which could benefit from the light being shined on them. Shining a light on areas previously hidden allows my clients to have a greater choice. We all have the Internalcapacity to design our own action plans and be accountable for getting results. We just need someone to stand with us! I’ve been where you are and I’m here to stand with you through the yucky parts and the happy parts, returning you to your very best self!
