Unplug, get up, and get out. It’s not just about being fit, being connected through disconnecting (ah, technology), or getting back in touch with the world around us, it’s opening our eyes to what is actually around us. We humans have the privilege and curse to be open to more input than just what is…
Rita Nakashima Brock, Journeys By Heart Because the very existence of heart is basic to the structure of human life itself and is the basis of our being broken in relationships, we require connections if we are to acknowledge our own broken heart and be healed. At the earliest part of our lives we are…
Some people fill their lives with want. Wanting so many things to be different but making no effort to make things different. Some people use wanting as a way to distract themselves from what they truly need. They put their efforts into wanting the newest style, gadget, or thing so that they can’t see that…
Over the past couple of months I have worked with quite a few clients that were asking for help in creating the changes in their lives they so desperately needed. Whether that was healing for their bodies or relief from an emotional issue or resolution to an ancient hurt, they all needed support and permission…
So many of us know what we should be doing. Know it so well we could make lyrical poetry out of it. Know it so in-depth that we could create interpretive dance representing it and even the dog would understand what we mean. But it means nothing because no amount of knowing changes the fact…

I’m still puzzling over some interactions I had with friends of mine. I hadn’t seen them in a while and I was looking forward to catching up with them with some reservations. We have had disagreements in the past about issues that were important to all of us and haven’t always gotten along well, but…
Although we don’t control the Universe, we don’t make the world around us, and we don’t live at the center of everything, we do create a bit of our own reality through how we think and what we believe. Because how we interact with the world around us is based on our thoughts and beliefs…
You don’t get what you don’t ask for. Many times we’re given surprise gifts from friends, family, strangers, or just the Universe in general. But for the most part, if we actually want something, we need to ask for it, even if we just ask ourselves if this is something we’re actually going to do. …
It sometimes amazes me the games that people play with each other. And by games I don’t mean fun sports, but weird, anti-social, passive aggressive actions that produce mediocre results at best and definitely bring on drama. Neighbors are people who live near each other, not through specific choice, but through a culmination of each…
