May you find something of value in what I share.
What a person often needs most
SOMETIMES WHAT A PERSON NEEDS MOST IS JUST TO KNOW THAT SOMEONE ELSE IS IN THEIR CORNER - someone who thinks they're doing a good job, that they’re ok as they are - that someone believes in them. Positive feedback and a sense of support is very powerful – and can...
The thoughtless comment
HOW OFTEN DO WE SAY SOMETHING AND IMMEDIATELY REALIZE our words might have been miscalculated, ill-timed, poorly chosen, or simply said thoughtlessly or a little too unfiltered? Perhaps emotion played into it and we said something out of frustration - or jealousy,...
A beacon for others
This message came up in a session the other day, and I thought it would be of value for you, as well. I’d pulled a card that said: WISE LEADER – YOU ARE A BEACON FOR OTHERS (Sacred Traveler deck, Denise Linn). The message that came into my awareness along with the...
On thinking too much
I HEARD THIS MESSAGE IN THE DIALOGUE OF A SHOW and wanted to share it with you: 'You think too much! You think too much about everything! I just want to make sure you don't miss out on all the things in life that happen when you're NOT thinking. Because, believe me -...
Why people don’t always share things with us
SOMETIMES PEOPLE DON’T ARTICULATE WHAT THEY WANT, NEED, OR FEEL - not necessarily because they don’t want to share it with us or want to shut us out - but because they don’t actually know what it is that they want, need, or feel yet. ~ They might still be integrating...
Everything shifts
EVERYTHING SHIFTS when we realize that other people’s actions, reactions, and the words they say are all about them. Really. Just that. Whether it’s sparked by something we've said or done, it's also about... ~ where they’re at emotionally, how confident or vulnerable...
Making changes to how we respond
MAKING CHANGES TO HOW WE RESPOND OR REACT in situations is often not as easy in practice or in the moment as it is in theory or as it is when we contemplate our reactions before or after the situation happens. I just want to acknowledge this, and remind each of us to...
What if there’s no such thing as self-improvement?
WHAT IF THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS SELF-IMPROVEMENT? Instead of seeing ourselves as needing improvement by gaining something in which we're deficient, getting something that we didn’t have before - what if it’s actually more about each of us increasingly flourishing as...
Staying open and observant
THE GOOD THINGS WE SEE COMING INTO OTHERS’ LIVES (or what we perceive to be ‘good’ from our unique viewpoint) are going to be necessarily different from what must come our way to benefit us on our own journey. Inviting each of us to keep watching and staying open and...
The rough parts of life
The rough parts of life make you appreciate the people you have in your life to go through them with. ~Paraphrased from an early episode of How I Met Your Mother. I loved that sentiment, so I noted it down. If it resonates for you and sparks you to reflect on those...
Priorities
I INVITE YOU TO CONTEMPLATE YOUR PRIORITIES. What is important to you? What do you consider to be your priorities? your goals? your desires? What is it you feel strongly about doing, practicing, including, valuing - in your life? Without judging or criticizing where...
It’s not about you
A PERSON’S WORDS, ACTIONS, AND REACTIONS ARE ABOUT THEM, NOT YOU. Whether verbal, written, body language, facial expression - even if what is said or their visible reaction occurs or shifts after something you said or did - it’s not actually ‘about’ you. It might be...
Learning the hard way
I LEARNED THE HARD WAY, AND REALLY – THE HARD WAY IS THE ONLY WAY WE LEARN. Rob Lowe says this in one of his memoirs. I listened to both of them recently as audiobooks, and I think this was from Stories I Only Tell My Friends. To be fair, I’m paraphrasing a little...
Finding a way out of our canyon
SOMETIMES WE DON’T FIND VALUE IN SUPPORTIVE REMINDERS, positive affirmations, or thoughtful quotes. Honestly, sometimes a suggestion to look at our situation differently, to reframe things - feels actually quite unhelpful and annoying. Sometimes we just need space and...
What we must do might be nothing
OFTEN WE THINK WE NEED TO BE DOING SOMETHING and being productive. For some of us, that's almost all the time - packing our days full of to-do lists and things to start and finish, feeling 'less-than' when we don't get 'enough' done. In a world focused largely on...
Curious? Let's chat!
Exploring your intuitive connection is personal.

I want to make sure that what you're looking for is something I'm able to provide.
Let's have a conversation to see whether it feels like a good fit to work together.
