It occurs to me now, during this pandemic of the Coronavirus, how we are all being asked to dig deeper than we have been. What do You Control? There is so much “out there” we do not have control over, and yet, we grasp at all the things we feel we need to be safe […]
It seems strange to be 49 years old and admit, until very recently, I had a fear of disappointment. Not in every area, but in some of the bigger ones. Growing up through generations of alcoholism caused me to take on the belief I didn’t matter. I thought I wasn’t lovable. I began expecting “others” […]
When you are on the threshold of making any decision, you may consult experts, friends, books, and Google. But don’t let your decision-making end there. For ultimately, the best decisions are those made in alignment with who you are and for that, you must consult the heart. The Heartmath Institute, a non-profit organization that researches […]
“I feel so alone,” a friend of mine said. “I’m cutting myself off from my partner and other people. I’m trying to sell this business and don’t know what I’m going to do with myself after. My family is wanting things from me, but they never ask or seem to care about what’s going on […]

In the field of quantum physics, they have a term they use when the energy is changing from one level of frequency to a higher level. It’s called turbulence. I love this term. It’s the exact same experience the birds have as they rise to the next airstream. They must experience some resistance as they […]
I was so angry. How dare he not pay me for the hours I worked! How dare he short change me! There were so many things I wanted to say, wished I could say, but wouldn’t say. I wasn’t the confrontational type. Instead, I grew up taking what people offered and feeling victimized if it […]
A month ago, I met a passionate woman putting together a seminar for healers. She asked if I would give a brief talk on self-compassion. A month ago, I would have said yes.

When we first encounter an unknown in our life, we struggle with our fears. We wrestle with finding “the right answer”. Anxiety, frustration, and often tears accompany this process.
