Change Changes Things

Change can be very hard.  There are lots of quotes and memes about fear being the reason why we tend not to change, but I think we over emphasize that aspect of things.  Also, we tend to talk about change as if everything else around us is standing still and the only thing that is acting or not acting is us. …Details

Outside and Inside Voices

One of the challenges in life is to balance the outside voices with our inside voice.  It’s common to see this issue when you become a parent, when you have a demanding job, or when you commit to a cause or career. …Details

Keep It Moving

Emotions are meant to be felt and to move.  If you don’t feel them at the moment they will come out at another place and time, not necessarily of your choosing.  Even worse, if feelings aren’t acknowledged at all, they can act like teenagers, moving into the background and plotting another more extensive means of gaining attention. …Details

So Will This Happen Or That?

Many times clients come to me wanting to know what is going to happen to them next as if they are a passive recipient of their life and not a participant.  Most of them have a perspective on the spiritual which sees them as a student with a teacher who is constantly giving them lessons to learn, then evaluating those lessons, and they either move on to the next or try again. …Details

In this year of the Horse a lot of our lessons are going to come through the body.  Ok, I hear that deep sigh that just happened.  I bet you’re thinking that you’ve heard this sermon before.  Eat right, get lots of sleep, exercise, get a hobby, ergonomics at work, get up every 20 minutes if you work on a computer, blah…blah…blah. …Details

Just Because You Can…

…doesn’t mean the universe is telling you something.  It doesn’t mean that’s a sign that you should do that as a profession or even as a way to make money.  Just because you’re good at something doesn’t mean you have to do it for yourself or anyone else. …Details

What’s In A Dream

There are all kinds of dreams.  Stress dreams (standing in front of the class in your underwear), prophetic dreams, sex dreams, informational dreams, and pee dreams (the dream you remember as you’re waking up that has all this water imagery in it.)  All dreams have meaning to them although many of them are pretty obvious. …Details
