Time Out

Sometimes what we need is a time out.  Not as a punishment, but as a break.  We don’t need to be in the now, we don’t need to find something to make us happy, we don’t need to figure out the next thing, we don’t need to examine our feelings, see if we’re meeting expectations,…

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…

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…

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? You know that someday when…

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.  But if…

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…
