Now What Do I Do?

So what do you do when you’ve done everything you can think of and the issue is still there?  When you’ve asked for guidance and keep getting the same indecipherable answer, when you’ve tried everything that is logical, unlogical, inspired and desperate, and nothing makes a dent, when the movement you get is so infinitesimal that it doesn’t count, what then?… Details

One Step Forward

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. … Details

Emotional Absolutes

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? … Details

Putting the Pieces Together

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. … Details

Emotions are meant to be felt and to move.  If you don’t feel them at the moment they will come out at another place and time, not necessarily of your choosing.  Even worse, if feelings aren’t acknowledged at all, they can act like teenagers, moving into the background and plotting another more extensive means of gaining attention. … Details

So Will This Happen Or That?

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 to learn, then evaluating those lessons, and they either move on to the next or try again. … Details

Words Vs. Actions

Not everyone means what they say.  I know…shocker…spoiler alert…but it’s true.  As much as we all know that it’s still something that trips us up time and again.  Sometimes because the person saying things is really good at saying things other than what they mean and other times because we really truly want whatever it is they are saying to be true. … Details
