Doing What You Know

So many people get to a point where they know what it is they’re supposed to be doing or being.  They “get it”, they have an “aha!” moment, they figure things out and have a whole new lease on life. That’s great!!!…Details

One Last Thing

It’s Christmas Eve and it seems to be a rule of the Universe as we know it that there will always be one last thing we’ve forgotten or that hasn’t gotten done.  The malls will be full with people getting that last-minute shopping done. …Details

I Need To Let That Go

In my field I’m constantly amused by the fact that those who need to let go of things/habits/assumptions cling to them with a death grip while swilling denial by the gallon and claiming that everything is fine.  Those who do all the releasing and letting go and purifying practices are the ones who don’t need to and are confused why they don’t heal and those nasty bits just won’t go away.…Details

Balancing the Light and the Dark

Story Time

One of the many traditions of Christmas season is the stories.  We read Christmas stories to our children, we watch Christmas cartoons, there are Christmas episodes of our favorite shows and there are Christmas movies galore.  I’m into irreverence so I enjoy Santa Claus Conquers the Martians as well as Scooby Doo Christmas specials of which there are many.…Details
