Grab your cup of tea, settle in, and join me in week 2 of our new eight-week series, Steady Ground: Healing in an Unsettled World. I’m so glad you’re here. Week 2: Where Worry Lives in the Body Last week I asked you to place a hand wherever you feel the unsettledness most. If you tried it, you may have been surprised by where your hand went. For some people it’s the chest, or a...

Hello, lovely you. The first warm days of spring have arrived and, as usual, I’ve been standing in the yard, assessing my garden with a calculating eye. There are the plants that made it through, plants that didn’t, and the ones that look alive… until I take a closer look and realize they’re not coming back. I used to rush this part and just cut everything down, clear it out, and make it look clean again. A fresh start to a new season. But the last few years I have slowed way down and really...

Hello, lovely YOU! We’ve had quite the incredible dazzling displays in the Heavens above us! Some of us were lucky enough to catch the recent total solar eclipse, while others stood in awe at the spectacular pink and green Northern Lights, brought to us by solar flares. It seems that these other worldly events have left people with a sense of awe and childlike wonder they haven’t felt in a very, very long time. The truth is, we can feel this awe and wonder each and every day when we recognize...

Celebrating a Decade of Healing, Hope and Each Other When I started Prue's Place ten years ago, I had no idea who would read it. I only knew I needed somewhere to put the things I was learning about healing, the quiet, hard-won lessons that don't fit neatly into a conversation over coffee. I hoped a few people might find them useful. What I didn't expect was you. Over this decade, this little corner of the internet has become something I never could have planned. It has been a place where...

Photo Attribute to my dear friend, Ryan. https://www.facebook.com/ryanzippphoto Series 5: What am I Tolerating that I Shouldn't be Hello, lovely you! Over the past few weeks, we've been exploring some pretty tough questions together. We've talked about the difference between comfort and fulfillment, the fears that keep us from changing our lives, and the quiet ways we shape our decisions around other people's expectations.

“Race Point Fire” Photo Attribute: https://www.facebook.com/ryanzippphoto Series 4: Am I Actually Happy or Just Comfortable Hello, lovely you! Every once in a while, a question finds us at exactly the right time. It lingers in the background while we're driving to work, washing dishes, or lying awake at night. We try to answer it quickly, but it has a way of returning because, somehow, it knows there's something deeper waiting beneath our first response. Over the next few weeks, I'd love to...

Photo Attribute to my friend, Ryan.https://www.facebook.com/ryanzippphoto/ Series 3 - Who am I Trying to Impress? Hello, lovely you! A few weeks ago, I was talking with a friend who had been wrestling with a decision for months. We walked through every angle of it together, and as I listened, I noticed something I don't think either of us realized at first. Nearly every question she asked was about someone else's reaction. "What will my family think?" "I don't know how I'd explain it."...

Photo Attribute: https://www.facebook.com/ryanzippphoto Series 2 - Conversations You Avoid Having With Yourself Series Hello, lovely you! I've often said that a cancer diagnosis is a wake-up call of the highest order. Because when something interrupts life that dramatically, it has a way of stripping away all the distractions we've been hiding behind. The conversations we've been putting off suddenly become impossible to ignore. People usually come to me looking for guidance around their...
