May you find something of value in what I share.
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...
Letting some comparison fall away
ON COMPARISON ‘…the part of you that compares yourself to other people and your past is starting to fall away.’ ~Kyle Cease in I Hope I Screw This Up. Just that simple statement above… ~ no matter where you are or what you’re doing, ~ no matter whether you’ve...
The value of a nudge … sometimes
TODAY I DIDN’T FEEL LIKE WRITING ANYTHING. Even though I have several pieces started, and a few other ideas percolating, I didn’t feel motivated. Sometimes that happens. There are days I don’t write or share anything. But I gave myself a little nudge. I thought: I can...
It’s OK to have limits
SOMETIMES WE DON’T HAVE IT IN US TO BE AS SUPPORTIVE as we would like to be, or as present and responsive as we know we could be, or as we have been at other times. Sometimes we’ve just run out of steam, or out of ideas to float or suggestions to offer in an effort to...
A positive feedback loop
A POSITIVE FEEDBACK LOOP TO CONSIDER: The more we trust that things are always working out in our best interest, even when we have no idea how, or we can't even imagine what might happen next based on what we are experiencing in the present moment, and ...the more...
Your nature is calmness
YOUR REAL NATURE AS THE SOUL IS CALMNESS. By calmness, you allow the soul’s faculty of intuition to guide you to right decisions. ~Paramahansa Yogananda I suppose, then, the question arises: but how does one access this calmness? A few things that can help: ~...
It’s really OK
IT’S OK. ~ Unusual is OK. ~ Unique is OK. ~ Making different choices is OK. ~ Saying no is OK. ~ Saying yes is OK. ~ Not feeling ready is OK. ~ Not having changed yet is OK. ~ Changing is OK. ~ Taking a long time to process something is OK. We’re all...
We need repetition
WE OFTEN NEED TO HEAR SOMETHING OVER AND OVER - perhaps an idea, suggestion, some advice - multiple times, in different ways and at different times before it sinks in. A recent conversation reminded me of this. Remember this and have compassion and patience… ~…for the...
Getting more comfortable with ourselves
LIFE, IN PART, IS A PROCESS OF GETTING MORE COMFORTABLE with ourselves, such that we share a little more honestly about who we really are, how we truly feel, being vulnerable more often, revealing our authentic self. It’s about trusting that there are folks who will...
Let it sit
LET IT SIT. The concern over that thing, the problem you’re having - whatever it is - just let it sit for awhile without focusing on it. Take a pause - maybe a few minutes, a day, a week or more depending on the nature of the issue - give it a moment. Refocus onto...
A variation on the golden rule
MANY OF US HAVE HEARD what is sometimes called the golden rule: Treat others as you would have others treat you. But what if we were to consider the phrase with this slight adjustment: TREAT YOURSELF AS YOU WOULD TREAT OTHERS. So often we’re harder on ourselves than...
Cut yourself some slack
Someone recently commented to me that they found me to be very self-aware and kind to myself. It’s interesting to hear how someone else views us, isn’t it? It sparked me to contemplate a little. I suppose I endeavour to… ~ CUT MYSELF SOME SLACK AND GO EASY ON MYSELF....
Spiritual guidance and where it comes from
ON SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE AND WHERE IT COMES FROM. I’m not in the business of telling anyone that they have spirit guides, totem animals or angels working with them - nor am I in the business of telling anyone that they DON’T have any of the above. WHAT I AM ABOUT IS...
Curious? Let's chat!
Exploring your intuitive connection is personal.
You want to work with someone you trust and with whom you feel comfortable.
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.
