Dear Reader, Dads are EVERYTHING. I am sending all dads my love and gratitude. Are you a father? If so, please come as my guest. If you're not a member of our community, please use the coupon code: DADDY Also welcome, those:
Dear Dads (and my Dad), You are so important. You are our Redwood trees. The life, the strength, the unwavering when needed, the flexibility at the top, the complex root system holding us all up, and nourishing the family around you. Your strength and sensitivity, and great accomplishments show us our potential. I cherish every moment I spend with my dad. And I cherish every dad. “Manning Up” in this world has changed, and just as with we moms, you now have to do it all. Be strong and be soft. Be unwavering and be creatively compassionate. It all comes down to love and care. When you can offer these things unconditionally, you are doing everything. Everything you need to do and everything your kids need. (Tip: Start with you and your father first... remember they didn’t have the support they needed to be what you needed, and they did their best.) I’m eternally grateful for all I have learned and received from my dad. I’ll never be able to appreciate enough the men who have brought fathering to my son’s life. (Many kids, including mine, who has two moms, grow up without a dad in the home, but that doesn’t matter.) Dads are important, and fathering comes in many different shapes and shades. 💙 Alane Please join us tomorrow for Fatherhood: Gifts, Gaps, & Growth Are You Highly Sensitive Events SAVE THE DATE and links here!

Dear Reader, Are you resilient? You may say, "Up until now, I haven't been so resilient..." Or maybe, "Are you kidding? I'm so sensitive and anxious that I'm incapable of being resilient."Perhaps, "I have not found resilience to come easily, yet."and, sometimes, "Darn right! I am a resilient person."In this pre-recorded class with my special guest, the gifted therapist and teacher, Linda Graham, we explored the intersection of sensitivity and resilience. Linda offers many wonderful tools and...
Dear Reader, I hope you will join us on Saturday, June 13, 9am PDT, Noon EDT, to celebrate, grieve, honor, explore, and understand fatherhood, including the fathers we had, those we know, and for dads to honor themselves and the gifts they bring to our world. Dads do make the difference in a child’s life. Do you remember your father? Was he set on toughening you up? Maybe he was a little harsh, but he wanted you to be safe in the world. Some dads weren’t around much, leaving most of the...
and social dancing... I long for health, love, community, compassion, well-being, and social dancing... Since social dancing has been demonstrated to be one of the best tools for supporting long-term cognitive health, I had to add it. Perhaps the longing I know best is that of ease and grace as I grow, age, and navigate the challenges of life. Just like me, I wish these things for you. Pema Chodron's teachings on aging will begin our conversation at Wise Women & Wonder this month but the...
