What’s Not Said

March 15, 2012

For everything that’s said, there are a million things unsaid. Two people I know of died recently. I wanted to tell Holly’s husband and children how much I liked and admired their wife and mom. How peaceful and calm and scared and human she was. But I didn’t. I wanted to tell Angel that I [...]

Non-Attachment? Or simply not Choosing?

March 8, 2012

I have a client who used to live his life in the future. He was in his head, planning, predicting, trying to control things before they occurred. It wasn’t all that pleasant for him, as you can imagine. So, he started working on his stuff and made some shifts. Except that he shifted a little [...]

Overcoming Perfectionism: Perfect or F*&k It

March 1, 2012

This is a repost of a video blog I filmed back in November of 2010. That’s old. And I filmed it in my car, waiting to go into the dentist. But that imperfect style is the point, as  you’ll see… Here’s a purposely imperfect post dedicated to my awesome client whose family story is “Perfect or [...]

The truth about drama

June 23, 2011

Do you attract drama? If you have a lot of drama-filled people or situations in your life, I’m going to say something you won’t like.   It might be time to look in the mirror. Yes, they may be crazy. I totally give you that. It may honestly, without a doubt, be all their stuff that’s [...]

Releasing it? Or Avoiding it?

June 6, 2011

My client Patty says she’s afraid of conflict. She often runs away and avoids speaking up in the hopes that her problems go away on their own. She doesn’t call it running away though. She calls it turning the other cheek. She tells me she’s being Enlightened. I correct her. Don’t lie to yourself, Patty. [...]

Are your requests really unreasonable?

October 23, 2010

I recently wrote an article for my eZine on non-attachment. In it, I tell the story of a client who decided to live the motto, “What will be, will be”. Empowering, right? Well, sort of. He took that laid-back, wait and watch stance to mean that he should stop choosing, stop creating, and start reacting. Reacting rather than [...]

Lucky You

October 17, 2010

I just saw an article about a man in Missouri who won the lottery…twice. Two separate lotteries, a few months apart. He says he’s lucky. Are you? Where do you think luck comes from? Is it in your genes or based on your star sign or the result of karma? Do we play any part [...]

Much More to Presence

October 13, 2010

Mindfulness is what we practice to cultivate presence. Presence is the state of being totally immersed in what’s right in front of us. The perk of presence that I usually focus on is that fear, worry, negative thoughts fall away. This is because those things do not exist in the Now. They are completely and [...]

Ick, Mindfulness

October 9, 2010

If my mind were a person, it would be this man: Can you relate? I love my blog readers. And I hate the topics of mindfulness and meditation so much that I feel kind of guilty doing this to you right now. So for my own peace of mind, I have to include this little [...]

Part Deux. Signs from Within

October 7, 2010

(This is part 2. Part one about Signs is here.) So, here’s the thing about signs from within. You either know this like you know your name and you’re about to scream “Duh!” at your monitor, or you’re going to be utterly confused and very skeptical. All the signs you ever need—and a way of testing [...]
