Welcome to my blog! 

Working with plants and landscapes, a person may do some pruning. When pruning, I notice, it is necessary for me to have some faith that the plants will grow back and fill in. They look so bare, and not so alive when I first cut them back, especially if I cut them back by much. It often reminds...

Apparently, the Japanese did. Barefoot Shiatsu is a form of massage that works with the flow of energy through your body along lines called meridians (the same ones as in Chinese acupuncture). The energy flows through your body, supporting the various systems. If the energy gets blocked (think of...

Your massage therapist, yoga teacher, and Renaissance woman, Bridget Noel Jones, is breaking into the art scene!

I am delighted to be included in this year’s Tallahassee Clay Arts Studio Tour, an art show hosted at several points around town, including many potters’ home...

Pet peeves are little things in life that we get more bent out of shape about than necessary. One of mine has been the scent of other people’s laundry detergent, because since I cleaned up my diet twenty years ago, I have a powerful sense of smell. Another is when people pluck their...

When I was in college, I loved pizza. I worked at a delivery restaurant and ate pizza every time I worked, maybe 5 times per week. I drank multiple cans of highly sugary and caffienated soda during every shift. Sometimes I ate a whole pint of ice cream for dinner, maybe once per week. I loved...

And one day, or moment, you might forget gratitude....

Back in the 1990’s, I was finished with college, had a BA from UCF in Anthropology, and worked at a restaurant. One of my coworkers told me how proud he was of his girlfriend, who was graduating from massage therapy school. I asked if it was like physical therapy, and he explained...

We do hear stories occasionally of a person who was not a practitioner of Kundalini Yoga having a spontaneous awakening of their Kundalini, and that the experience was difficult. Kundalini is the energy of our awareness. It is our life force energy that stays mostly dormant at the base of the...

I have often said, “If you are too busy for yoga (or massage), you are TOO busy.” I mean that not as an excuse for skipping self-care, but more as a statement to empower you to slow down and make time for yourself.

I know firsthand that when we are busy and stressed, the last...

Do you remember the song that starts with, “Sing, sing a song”? One of the lyrics is “Don’t worry that it’s not good enough for anyone else to hear. Just sing, sing a song…”  This song comes to mind today after a good friend and I were talking, and...
