Today, my beautiful wise friend, I’m going to invite you to do something radically different than anything I’ve talked to you about so far. Today I want to try to feel your emotions as vibrations in your body without giving them any kind of label.
Read MoreI believe you’ve had enough suffering and are looking for real answers and tools that support your unique purpose. I believe it’s possible to feel confident and whole, and have a life built on love and trust in yourself.
Read MoreI’ve noticed something lately about myself I hadn’t considered before. There are times I process the emotions for loved ones when clearly that is not helpful for either of us.
Read MoreI’m not much of a camper. Roughing it in a tent is not for me. I prefer running water, electricity, and a mosquito-free comfy bed. But there is one type of camp I like a lot—Clear Camp.
Read MoreWhen my granddaughter was four, I found her on a chair looking in the bathroom mirror at her reflection and repeatedly saying I love you. I love you. I love you. She was absolutely glowing with gleeful delight as her pudgy toddler fingers pointed at her image for emphasis. I’ll never forget it.
Read MoreI think I’ve mentioned a few times that I like to journal when feeling stuck, challenged with a problem, or having big emotions. Why? Because I always get my answers even when I don’t want them, or more accurately, when I don’t want the truth of them. I’ve found heart-felt truth often leads to a change in my perception and usually asks for a change in my behavior and actions.
Read MoreOne of my favorite quotes is from author Mervyn Peake: The world awaits you. I love this sentiment so much that I have it as a magnet on my refrigerator. It serves as a daily reminder to take account of how I’m living my life and am I doing what my heart asks.
Read MoreI recently had a session with a master healer in Arizona. He would never claim to be a master or a healer, but a person who is deeply and consciously connected to the Source of All healing. He calls this source God, but is not hung up on a name.
Read MoreWe’re about ready to move into the hottest part of the year in our midwestern neck of the woods, and you won’t hear any complaints from me. I like the warm weather and abundant fresh food sources. What I don’t like is muscle cramps, fatigue, and unquenchable thirst.
Read MoreA week ago, I heard a consistent, pitiful, break-your-heart mewing from the wilds of our flower garden/lilac bushes. The closer I got, the louder the mewing. I spied a lonely 4-week-old gray-stripped kitten in a thicket who was too frightened to come out no matter how I coaxed.
Read MoreI’ve recently been diagnosed with Lyme Disease…again. Ugh. I’ve had it for at least 15 years, maybe longer. This time both legs took turns swelling to the point where I couldn’t see my ankles. Don’t worry though, I found a wonderful doctor and an amazing natural healer to help me. I feel like this time I’ll kick these persistent bacteria out of my blood for good!
Read MoreIt’s spring! Yay! I love spring. But do you know what I don’t love? Weeding. I don’t. Why? Because it’s never finished. I was pulling weeds from my flower beds feeling like mission accomplished, and a day later there are more. Sometimes even the same day there are more!
Read MoreHow would you feel if you invited a friend to lunch and they canceled on you at the last minute? You’re already seated at the restaurant waiting, sipping water looking forward to this time with them. In fact, they had seemed excited about getting together with you too, but then you get the call—sorry, I can’t make it.
Read MoreAs I was sitting on the patio enjoying a bit of sunshine over the weekend, two dragonflies zipped beneath my chair, raced around the table, and flitted off to wherever their magnificent wings carried them.
Read MoreI talk a lot about the importance of paying close attention to your thoughts and feelings, because they are the blueprints for creating your reality. Today, I’m going to get a little sciencey and try to explain why this is true.
Read MoreThe most important questions you can ever ask yourself are: What example am I being at this moment? And is this the example I want to be? If so, congratulations. If not, congratulations for noticing. Now you have the option to pick a different way of being… or not. No wrong answers.
Read More“What you do with your mind and emotion will eventually build a cocoon around you which is not a protection. It’s a coffin.” –Sadhguru. Last week I talked about a powerful takeaway I learned from Brene Brown in a televised event I watched. Basically, whatever thoughts we’re having is a story we’re telling ourselves. If there’s a strong emotion attached to the thoughts, then we’re telling ourselves a story with strong feeling.
Read MoreWhile I’ve been off work recovering from some minor knee surgery, I’ve had the opportunity to do a little television watching (read that as—so bored I don’t know what to do with myself 😉). Two shows stick out: Chris Rock Outrage and Brené Brown’s The Call to Courage. On the surface, neither of these people or shows seem to be anywhere in the same category, yet in some ways they were touching on similar themes.
Read MoreMy first grandchild, Jonathon, was born today, April 5. He is 16 years old and I couldn’t be prouder of the person he is now and always has been. He’s got a wide range of interests, likes to work and learn, loves the outdoors, and is willing to try new things. He’s a good student and athlete, and just an all-around good person.
Read MoreAs many of you know, I live on a nice little farm on top of a big Plum City hill. While it is picturesque and peaceful, it is also hard to find and nearly impossible to get to during the winter months. This year I’ve had to reschedule many sessions because the gravel roads I live on have turned into cavernous mud pits deep enough to swallow an army tank.
