I’ve Heard All This Before

There’s an assumption out there that if you haven’t found the answer yet, you aren’t looking hard enough.  If you haven’t resolved the problem you’re not working hard enough.  This could be true and I’ve run across people who are in that boat, but, like most things, this assumption is not one-size-fits-all and shouldn’t be applied to people as if it is.  … Details

Cooperating With Your Best Life

Sometimes manifesting your best life is exactly the wrong thing to do.  *gasp*  I know.  Heresy.  I’ll wait for you to calm yourself.  Breath….again….ready?  Sometimes the best thing we can do is get out of own way.  This is not to say we should just sit down and wait for our best life to come and find us, but that we should stop telling our best life what it should look like and how it should act and when it should show up. … Details

The Achievement Engine

We are taught to be productive.  Most of us will learn to do this for others, fulfilling tasks set for us by employers, but also for groups and family because that’s what’s expected of us.  We’ll take on the roles and the jobs and the masks that people have told us to and will become achievement engines which grind out amazing amounts of product, meeting goal after goal year after year, all to make enough money to do what we want, have what we want, but never being what we want.… Details

Depression – What Can I Do?

Often we feel helpless in the face of someone’s depression.  We don’t know to do or what we can do.  Many times people are well meaning but make things worse by trying to “help” the person look on the bright side, which invalidates their feelings and can just make them feel worse. … Details

Filling the Parental Void

It can seem like we’re the only one who had a parent or parents who were unable to parent us adequately.  Even more so if there was abuse or neglect or dysfunction involved.  Unfortunately this is not an unusual occurrence and so there are large numbers of us trying to heal wounds left from childhoods that were less than stellar at a minimum.… Details

There’s that phrase “You can never go home again” which I wish were true.  I mean, yeah, if we’re talking about making things go back to the way they were or feeling the way you felt about something, then I agree. … Details

It’s Someday

You know that someday when you’re going to do what you want for a change?  That someday when you’re going to get rid of all this shit?  The someday when you’re going to stop having to deal with all of this baggage you’ve carried around since you were a kid?… Details

What Are You Worth?

Our actions speak volumes about what we value and how we value it.  Yes, if we sit down and think about the people, roles, responsibilities, and goals in our lives, we can come up with a priority list that ranks these things and we can probably talk about them in a meaningful way. … Details

Akashic Reading Coupon

The end of summer (or winter depending on the hemisphere) is close upon us.  Before we switch into active mode and things start propelling us forward on our path, it’s handy to know what our options are, what our path should be, whether we’re on it, and what we can do to help achieve our best life or even just figure out who we are and where we should go from here.… Details

Words and Meaning

People sometimes get confused in relationships because the words and the actions don’t match or they seem not to match because people aren’t paying attention to the actual meaning of the words.  Anyone who has had a conversation has experienced a few difficulties including multiple meanings of a word causing confusion for both parties, sometimes over even the subject of the whole thing, body language negating the words being used, or body language negating the entire conversation. … Details
