Are you happy to be alive?

I went to visit my father, yesterday.  He’s in a care facility about 2 hours from my home so it’s a fairly easy drive. The facility is amazing and he is getting fantastic care from happy staff who like their jobs and have enough staff on hand to do the job well.…Details

Soul Journeys

Every soul has its own path that it walks.  Each has a unique affinity, a style, a way of being in the Universe that is its own.  Some are similar, others complimentary, many harmonize, balance, or support each other.  And most work for the best possible good for themselves and all around them. …Details

Choices and responsibilities

It is easy to make choices when all you are responsible for is yourself.  You look at your needs and goals, make choices to get them met in the best way possible weighing all the pros and cons or not as you choose and the outcome is on you regardless of what happens.…Details

Connections

Everything is interconnected.  Practitioners of Chinese medicine and holistic healing have known this for millennia.  Native American healers have work with these principles today to help people understand that the symptoms can only be cured when you find the actual issue and work to cure that. …Details

Soul Challenges

In working with clients I spend quite a bit of time helping them unlearn the logic that the world has taught them.  You know, the stuff everyone knows, the common wisdom you learn from school, the things the media drums into our head, etc, etc. …Details

Change

No, not the stuff in your pocket or at the bottom of your purse.  And not the “change your life today or else” speech or the “you will survive this catastrophic event” speech.  I think there’s enough of those around to fill the Library of Congress, thank you very much. …Details

Getting what you really want

It seems so simple.  Want a thing, work for the thing, and eventually get the thing, then move on to the next thing.  I mean it can be as simple as “Wow, Cheetos!” and you grab them in the store, pay for them, and you are happily munching an amazingly tasty not-really food product.…Details
