Pour a cup of tea, kick off your shoes
and stay awhile…

Welcome to Backyard Pearls, a place to soak in the joy that’s right here, right now, in everyday life. Our pearls aren’t hidden underwater in Tahiti; they’re all around us. We can experience them while packing the kids’ lunches, brushing the dog, even sitting in rush hour traffic.

backyard: a place in the middle of everyday life
pearls: things of great beauty, wisdom or joy; miracles

Here, you’ll discover ways to wake up to your own life. Instead of auto-piloting through busy days, moments open where you’re alive with joy, gifted with an insight, or overcome with beauty. Life moves from mundane to miraculous.

So start with this moment. Take a deep breath, then get ready to explore…

You can walk barefoot through the inspiring Backyard Pearls columns, inhale the scent of fresh ideas in the Backyard Pearls book, or discover your own pearls during life coaching sessions with Carolyn. Or, perhaps you'd prefer plucking a few "ahas" from the Backyard Pearls Blog.

Join me. Let’s see what’s blooming in our own backyards….
