“I don't know how to shake off the uncertainty.” A friend of mine is concerned about something outside of her control, and that is what she said to me today. My response to her: continually bring yourself into the present moment. When you catch yourself thinking about...

When we surround ourselves with like-minded people, those who share our vision, or at least listen and support us, communication can be easy. What happens when a person or a situation comes along that pushes our buttons? Maybe we just don’t see eye to eye, or someone...

My dad died one month ago.  His death came less than a week after having a massive stroke, which left him in a state where he was unable to speak, and significantly impacted one side of his body.  I feel 100% at peace with where my dad’s soul is now - which is,...

(Originally posted July, 2018) I created this space to share my experiences, my realizations and a-ha moments, ponderings, and things that just make me laugh. I make no claim to have it all figured out and I'm very much a work in progress; but every day I make an...

(Originally posted Oct 19, 2019) Last night I had a bout of anxiety, something I haven’t experienced in a couple of years. It was the closest to an anxiety attack I’ve had in an even longer stretch of time. I share this with you not for sympathy, nor for any other...

(Originally posted - Sept 20, 2019) Hands-up, everyone who’s human!!   You can’t see it but my hand is up, even though doing so had me nearly knock the lampshade off the lamp I’m sitting under. Definitely human over here.  Here’s some more proof of my humanness: Last...

(Originally posted June 2, 2019) When I think back to different times in my life, I have the strongest memories about things I spent a lot of time thinking about - both at that time and since then.  Seems obvious, right? Over time a river bed becomes deeper and...

(Originally posted May 12, 2019) I have taken many courses, attended conferences and workshops, read (and also started-yet-not-quite-finished) lots of books, and had numerous conversations and sessions with others.  Most are related to energy work, healing,...

(Originally posted March 15, 2019) What people say about you is a reflection of them, not you.  Most of us have probably heard that saying before, and typically think of it in relation to a negative interaction.  Negative comments said by others can sometimes result...

(Originally posted Jan 7, 2019) While many people have heard of Reiki, I get a lot of questions about Metatronia® Therapy (MT) - another healing modality that I offer.  It is similar to Reiki in that it is also energy healing, but a higher vibration; the sensations...

(Originally posted Dec 16, 2018) I am procrastinating, big time.  In the first half-hour of sitting down to write this piece, I have:  checked my email, checked facebook, gone to get some chocolate from the fridge, sent a text message, talked to my partner, followed...

(Originally posted Dec 16, 2018) Everywhere I turn recently in books, documentaries, courses, conversations with friends, inspirational quotes on Facebook, etc.,  I have been seeing a variation of this message repeated:   focus on what you want, not what you don’t...

(Originally posted Oct 9, 2018) I was fortunate to have the opportunity to take part in an amazing yoga nidra instructor certification course over three weekends in the past four months. I felt some fear going into the course, during the first two of the three...

(Originally posted Oct 9, 2018) I love this guy’s perspective - Kyle Cease (picture above taken from his Facebook page).  I find his ideas super inspiring and motivating.  I'm in the middle of his book, I Hope I Screw This Up, which is great, and I recently stumbled...

(Originally posted Oct 8, 2018) I used to spend a lot of time worrying: was I doing the right thing in that moment, or what should I do or say next so that others would think I was acceptable.  I overanalyzed every situation, and agonized over how I thought I appeared...
