    Do You Need to Learn to Be Selfish?

    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. But when I received the email with an update of the event’s information, my heart sank. My weekly workload had increased over […]

    No Longer Waiting for Self-Approval

      As I slumped in my meditation chair, I asked, “How long, God? How long?” I’ve thrown this question out to the Universe many a times when discouragement, weariness, or the desire to run away has overtaken me. The “how long” meant how long till this vision of mine comes to fruition? How long do […]

    Relax and Let Go

    Don’t you love the words, “let go”? They bring to mind that old commercial in the 80’s of the Nestle Tea plunge, where the guy falls backward into a pool of water with eyes closed and a big grin on his face. Totally trusting, totally carefree. And isn’t it interesting that we could all live […]

    Miracles Are Not Dependent on Your Worthiness

      It was 2006. I knew it was time to leave my husband because of the peace I felt. To have left any earlier would have put my body and mind in more stress. But I had no idea where to go. I repeat, I HAD NO IDEA. I didn’t know what I needed or […]

    When I first had the inspiration to start a tutoring business, and later, a spiritual coaching business, I had no idea where to begin. The more I learned, the more overwhelmed I became by all the hoops I needed to jump through in order to make this thing happen. After which, I’d run for the […]

    When we acknowledge there is ONLY one Power in the Universe – God, the Good, the Omnipotent. Nothing and no one can take away our good or our inheritance of grace. There is only one way that anything could have power over the Higher Consciousness of Love, and that is if we give it power […]

    Space is Necessary for the New to Enter

      I know, I know. In a world that values action, inaction can seem like self-sabotage. At the very least, it feels incredibly wrong and indicative of losing out in some way. Inaction is uncomfortable. It makes us squirm and worry over what we’re not doing or should be doing or are doing wrong. Oh, […]

      Back in 2005, I was teaching my first year at low income school in South Carolina. Every day felt like one more step into my own prison. I had loved teaching in Pennsylvania for the last 12 years, but here, there was too much stress, too much demand, and too little time. I was […]

    Breaking the Pattern of “Selfish” Guilt

    Two of my clients this week experienced the same struggle. That dreadful feeling when you feel depleted or longing to do something for yourself and someone you care about calls or texts with, “Do you have time to talk?” What you really want to say is, “No. I just don’t.” But what you say instead […]

    Her mind had been ruminating over some big questions lately, regarding a new home and career. The future loomed large, but instead of researching answers, she found herself spending a few hours googling beach retreats. Guilt ridden, she said, “Maybe I’m just trying to run away from my problems and my family. Everyone is getting […]
