Suffering the Reverse

Part of my work is to listen to people’s stories. They think they are telling me the details of their lives, sorting through what is important and what is not, but what they are actually doing is telling me their stories.  Because if they were to tell me the facts it would be so dry…

Teaching Others To Read

Periodically I get requests from people for information on how to become certified in my method of reading the Akashic records.  They want to know how they can be a certified reader.  Most often they are looking for information on where I teach that online, what my certification requirements are, and how long it will…

Revel In Your Passions

The common phrase is “Indulge your passions.”  To me this is a bit condescending.  As if your passions were a pet you want to spoil, a child that deserves to be released from school work, or something you should feel guilty for but will do anyway. Such crap.  Our passions are sign posts pointing us…

Confrontation Comfort Zone

It takes all kinds, as they say.  I marvel, though, at those who generate negative experiences in their lives.  I’m not talking about addiction or co-dependence, no I’m referring to a specific type of person.  They remind me of Pigpen from the Charlie Brown cartoons, but instead of existing in a cloud of dirt which…

For Better Or For Worse

There are some common themes that I point out to people who are in a relationship (married/living together/long-term committed) that they sometimes over look.  One is that a relationship is a bit like walking.  If someone is really moving forward in their life, being challenged, growing, having personal issues, then the other isn’t.  Not that…

Step Into Yourself

I remember one particular evening.  I was deep into my studies with the elders of my people and studying with others who has niche knowledge in specific areas at which I was becoming adept.  Doing a lot of study and personal work stirs things up.  Change and becoming is often a messy process.  As a…
