For the last few New Years, I’ve written a prayer/wish/blessing/intention/manifesto for the year. May I always remember this guidance. May you always remember them, too. Welcome, 2020.   The post a wish for 2020 first appeared on Rosie Molinary ..read more

It’s been a minute since I’ve penned a little note to you (and me). The quiet was an unintended consequence of the busy-ness of life– of caregiving, showing up, being present, and healing. If you were to ask me how life is, I would say, “All good. Nothing’s changed (and let’s knock on all the wood that that is true).” And then, the other day, I realized that while this year has maybe felt uneventful, I’ve actually been navigating a major event in my personal life that will impact the rest of my days. As some of you may remember, last December, I woke up in the middle of the night to use the ba ..read more

A poster for the Girls Empowerment Network Conference in Austin, Texas If we aren’t careful, we can look up at the end of a holiday season and say, “wow, that didn’t go the way that I wanted it to go at all.”  With so many expectations, invitations, and people involved, it’s pretty easy for us to just start saying yes without thinking through if the offer/opportunity/commitment also brings us joy in the holiday season.   If you already have a little dread about the next month, then setting an intention for the holiday season may be just the right strategy for you. An intention allo ..read more

So, here we are. If you are stateside, we are just days away from kicking off the most wonderful time of the year… the Thanksgiving to New Year time-span that is filled to overflowing with togetherness, love, goodness, merriment, joy, happiness, and, well, if we are being real here, anxiety, hurt, and fear. Because while, in theory, we all love to get together with those we love, there can also sometimes be this little (or looming) underbelly of worry that we can’t help but wonder about as we load the car with suitcases, brown-paper packages, and carefully prepared casseroles.  And the v ..read more

I spent this weekend in Austin, Texas where I gave a keynote address to thousands (gulp!) of girls who were attending the Girls Empowerment Network conference and then taught a Dove Self-Esteem Project workshop in three different break-out sessions.  The theme for the conference was Ignite Her Power and after spending a day with these delightful girls and their mentors and parents,  I feel so fortunate to report that my power was ignited, too—and I had this really incredible lesson about self-care from a 5th grader, too. During my first workshop, a sweet group of 5th grade classmate ..read more

After my mamacita passed away, I sat down with the priest to plan the funeral. He was a relatively new priest and didn’t know my parents well since their volunteering had started winding down in their 70s. “Tell me about your mother.” He encouraged and I shared stories about her gardening and grandparenting. It was while we were talking about my mamacita as a grandmother that something struck me, something I had never really observed or characterized in this way. “She was profoundly present.” If you were sitting with my mom, you were all she focused on. This presence was an incredible gift to ..read more
