By Mary Oliver Last night in the fields I lay down in the darkness to think about death, but instead I fell asleep, as if in a vast and sloping room filled with those white flowers that open all summer, sticky and untidy, in the warm fields. When I woke the morning light was…
Details“All of my life I’ve been looking for someone who will….” It’s amazing how we can have such a detailed understanding of what it is we want from and in that certain someone in our lives, but when asked what we want from and for ourselves we draw a complete blank. It’s not that we…
DetailsIn this year of the goat the theme will be about being competent with our emotions. That has nothing to do with controlling them, repressing them, regulating them, or attempting to release them back into the wild. It’s about being fluent in them, competent to use them just as we’ve (hopefully) become competent at driving…
DetailsThe landing on this past year was a bit shaky but any one you can walk away from, right? From the year of the Horse to the year of the Goat we’re moving out of emotionally turbulent waters into the quieter passions. Chew on that for a bit while you enjoy a relaxing and happy…

DetailsYes you do. Recently my clients have been saying that they don’t know what direction their life should go because they don’t know what they want out of life.

DetailsLife is to be lived and if you’re not enjoying it you’re doing it wrong…or something. Yes, life is short and each day we should have at least one thing that makes us smile just because, more if we can get them. No reason to wait until some mythical later because later never really comes…
DetailsLots of us are motivated by what we don’t have.
