We’re taught that progress is the point, that going forward is good, that backwards is bad, and that we should always keep moving. Then we get stuck and can’t seem to go forwards, can’t seem to fix what’s wrong, can’t move in the direction we want to be going and everything seems to fall apart. …
Isn’t it interesting how there are times in our lives where we decide that, for some reason, the state we are in is the way it is always going to be henceforward? Even though that’s never the case because things are constantly changing inside and outside of us in every moment we’re alive? But we…
Our lives are like the fridge in the kitchen or the note board on the wall. Lots of things of various importance that we need to remember, access and deal with at some point all gathered together into some kind of system-ish. It all makes some kind of sense to us on most days sort…
I tend to push myself too hard for too long. It’s a fact. Don’t do as I do, do as I say. LOL I talk a good talk about keeping yourself in balance and listening to your inner voice and alla that because I have learned the lessons the hard way. In my joy for…

Many times clients come to me wanting to know what is going to happen to them next as if they are a passive recipient of their life and not a participant. Most of them have a perspective on the spiritual which sees them as a student with a teacher who is constantly giving them lessons…
