Put Down the Stick

People think that they don’t measure up.  They aren’t meeting the goals that determine whether they are a success or a failure, that define their self-worth, that make for a “happy life” and so something must be wrong with them. Many times they can number those wrong things in great detail.  They spew out reams…

The Bridge To Nowhere

The bigger a plan, the more it stretches out over time, the more there are pieces which are blank or we put question marks in them because at the moment we don’t know.  Sometimes this is just because we don’t yet have the time to really sit down and figure them out. Sometimes it’s because…

Fractal Life

People think that following their path is a matter of finding the darn thing and then it will spool out in front of them and all they’ll have to do is walk it.  The focus is on the finding because somehow those wily paths in life are like Buggs Bunny and we’re Elmer Fudd.  So…

Controlling Change

Sometimes change is incremental.  Like age it covers miles one step at a time and we don’t really notice the journey until something points out that we’ve made it. When people talk about the change in their lives, the positive changes they’ve made, this is usually what they are referring to.  They point out this…

Interpretations

Many times a problem lies not in the event that happened but in our interpretation of it. We are meaning making machines and a large part of our early years is spent in learning what things mean such as how our parents can know we were doing something (sound carries), why does my foot suddenly…

I Was Super Famous

…don’t you want to know about my past lives where I was a super famous person?  Um….nope.   Not because it’s not cool or interesting. It usually is to a certain extent.  There are books out there by people and about people who have been famous or influential in past lives.  I have clients that fall…

Technical Difficulties

People bang their heads against obstacles all the time.  I have students and clients that have struggled with things like meditation, reading their own Akashic record, or journeying and they have tried “absolutely EVERYTHING!”  Sometimes they have worked on this for 20+ years to no avail. They can’t see things, they don’t get anything, they…

Investing In You

People sometimes get fixated on a mythological someday where they will have all the time and the energy in the world to do what they want to do.  Which never seems to be today and never even seems to be soon.  This mythological someday requires that we not enjoy what we’re doing right now, that…

What If Its Not a Duck?

You know the saying, “If it looks like a duck and acts like a duck and sounds like a duck then it’s probably..”  There’s a lot of truth to that which people ignore on a really regular basis especially in relationships.  I can’t even count how many people over the past 30 years have talked…

Flavors of Ice Cream

I love it when I look in someone’s soul book and see that they have an array of potential partner contracts to work with and not just one.  Everyone wants that magical prince(ss) to come and sweep them off their feet, provide for all their needs emotional and otherwise, and with which they will live…
