Help is a great thing. We all need it and usually more often than we ask for it. Sometimes we get it when we least expect it, sometimes it doesn’t come in the form we thought it would, sometimes it pours in so much that we are overwhelmed by it, and sometimes it comes when…
I worked with a client who had a recurring dream she was in a prison with barely any light and all she could see were bars or alternately that she was in a forest where all she could see was trees and the light was so dim because the canopy was thick. I went to…
I’m all for being a productive member of society. Not so much about the money, but actually being a functioning member of my community. You know, paying my taxes so we can all have safe roads and bridges and such, helping where help is needed such as donating time and funds to good causes, and…
I run up against the disparity between thinking and knowing all the time when working with clients. I’ll be reading along in a book explaining in detail what they need to do to accomplish what they are asking to achieve and they will interrupt with, “But I’ve already done that. I think I’ve done exactly…
Because these thoughts sometimes run through my brain. People get trapped in the trauma’s that happen to them. Like every day being Ground Hog’s Day they are forever in that moment when something happened to them that literally impacted them so hard they can’t move past it.

Since I’m on a roll with ways in which we seem to be connecting with and honoring others while not actually doing that, I’ve got a couple of more for you: “You’re perfect” and “I’m so proud of you”. I mean, what could be wrong with being seen as perfect or having someone be proud…
There’s a time to plan and there’s time to implement the plan. Planning just a wee bit more or evaluating the plan just one more time doesn’t actually add anything to the endeavor. In fact, it wastes time, effort, and sometimes the patience of the other people involved. It tends to muck things up and…
Something that just really hit me over the past few days is the interesting ways in which we honor people. It’s been on my mind a bit due to the passing of Leonard Nimoy. He was an amazing man in so many ways including being Spock, being a great director, a talented photographer, a genuinely…
Most of us have experienced nosiness. People who are overly interested in us, in the minutia of our lives, who need to know even though they really don’t need to know. It’s worse if they feel the need to comment on what they think they need to know. 😛 The opposite to nosiness isn’t good…
