What if the world is not what you think it is? What if your brain, which is a meaning making machine, has created meaning where none exists or put together facts to make meaning where the facts don’t fit together? What if what you assume isn’t true? What would your life look like then? Wouldn’t…
I had a friend with a great sense of humor, sometimes wickedly so. One of his more oft used phrases, said in a comedic ‘idiot’ type of voice was, “Math is Hard”. This could mean that someone was claiming they hadn’t done a project because the most basic parts of it were too difficult for…
Something I figured out about myself a while ago is the categories I put things into in my head when I’m thinking about everything that could/should/would happen in that day. Being a Capricorn I’m a list maker and so either the night before or in the morning I’m making to-do list. It’s how I categorize…
Over the past three months many of us have lost loved ones due to illness or simply because they had lived long and happy lives and it was there time to leave us. In my own family we have had two elders and one of my generation cross over since October. Knowing that they are…
During this transformation year of the Snake, it’s not just fear that we have to learn to respect and work with, but with success. Part of the self-identity that we hold so dear is the part that says we will be successful ‘someday’. Anything that suggests that is changing or has already changed, we ignore…
There is so much out there right now about ignoring your fears, releasing them, powering through them, not letting them hold you back, etc, etc. But what about actually listening to them? Fear is a warning sign that something is going on that you need to attend to. It’s not some external warning system trying…
So, this is the first New Moon of our Snake year. The months cycle through moving inward, from Full Moon to New Moon, and cycling outward from New Moon to Full Moon. We’ve been introspective since the Holidays and that makes sense. We’ve been figuring out what last year meant, what happened and why, going…
I enjoy working with clients (and friends and family for that matter) on the issues that are really troubling them. Not that I have a magic wand that can fix things or that I’m some all powerful being that has all the answers. Wouldn’t that be amazing and boring? I mean, everything would become “So…
I bumped into some friends of mine at the pub the other day and had an unexpected and delightful conversation with them for a couple of hours. We just sat and got caught up with each other, but the fun part is that this past year has been amazing for all of us in that…
We don’t usually judge our friends or acquaintances or peers because they need help with something or don’t know something or aren’t perfect at doing something. At least not the first hundred times. 🙂 After 100 we tend to get judgmental but I think it might be warranted in some cases. However, most people are…
