Hello there!
How are you doing today?
I’m glad you popped in for a visit.
A lot has changed here in my life in the last four years, and I’m willing to guess, a lot has changed in your life. What changes our lives? Jobs and careers, education, responsibilities, relationships. The list is endless.
If you have been here before, you’ll recognize that this site has changed as well. It no longer bears the name of “Coffee on my Porch.” Articles for that site published before April 1, 2026, are still here, but if you are looking for articles on life and wellness, hop on over to “The Whole You Project.”
Why the change?
“Coffee on my Porch” had begun to feel passive – after all, most conversations are passive. We talk about what we want to do. I started to realize that instead of just talking about life and wellness, I wanted to help you learn to take action. To me, a project takes action and involvement, and your life is the greatest project you will ever work on.
I’m Rebecca (Becky to most of my friends). I am a writer, a life/wellness coach and journalist, a musician, a sound bath facilitator, and a cacao ceremony facilitator, but I am more that the things I do or the roles I play in life. So are you.
My life is in transition as I close one chapter and begin another. Each new chapter of my life has started with some life changing event: starting college, getting married, buying the first house, having my first child, getting divorced, meeting my second husband, changing jobs, moving to a new state, becoming a grandparent, or losing my second husband to COVID. Each event has allowed me to transform into a stronger, better person.
As a musician, I am also passionate about the benefits of sound and vibration one experiences during a sound healing or sound baths.
As a cacao ceremonialist, I work with small groups, using cacao, to use breath work, sound, and meditation to turn within to reflect.
If you are looking for articles about life and wellness, pop on over to The Whole You Project. In addition to articles about life and wellness, it contains information on how to hire me as a coach or a speaker.
If you are looking for articles about writing and the writer’s life, pop on over to Ink and Keyboard.
