I draw upon my lifelong study of the Spiritual Truths at the heart of all religions to formulate effective, sustainable ways to prevent the craziness and chaos of modern motherhood from overwhelming even the most harried mother. As the daughter of a Navy Chaplain, I was exposed to an array of life paths and learned from my father the value of tolerance, kindness and mutual support. As an adult, I have lived in Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom, working in both the corporate world and as a full-time mom. In my own search to find meaning and balance in the midst of poopy diapers and piles of laundry, I have had to redefine what it means to be a successful mother raising successful children.
In my book, The Way of the Toddler: The Craziness of Modern Motherhood and the Spiritual Lessons I Learned from My Zen Masters in Diapers, I write about universal “mommyhood” experiences and translate them into spiritual lessons. As a mother to four young sons, I use the inexhaustible material of my day-to-day life to make everything I teach and talk about relatable and real. It is my mission, and my passion, to focus our attention on the greater context of parenting and to open the conversation about what we can learn from the innate wisdom and natural spirituality of our “Zen Masters in Diapers.”
Thank you for visiting my website, and I hope you’ll join the conversation!
