Challenge the structure of your life

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? …Details

Math is Hard

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 them to put out the effort or it had made them significantly late in getting it done. …Details

Have to, Need to, Get to

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. …Details

Grieving for What Is Lost

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. …Details

New Moon in January

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. …Details

Talk It Out

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. …Details

When Is Later Now?

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’ve radically changed our lives. …Details

Just Say No to Perfectionism

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. …Details
