Last time I talked about being 100% responsible for how you feel. I provided some tips to help when you catch yourself giving that responsibility to someone else. This time I want to discuss how at a deeper, unconscious level, there are times when something from our...
I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR HOW I FEEL. You are responsible for how you feel. No, not your spouse, partner, friend, mom, dad, sister, cousin, co-worker, manager, employer, aunt, uncle, the person driving the car next to you, the store clerk, etc. This is a biggie. I see...
I don’t know about you, but things have definitely been shifting and changing for me. I am not sure I was ready for them at first, but I am embracing them now. Let’s face it no one has been able to avoid the changes going on in our world. Every time you turn on...
Well, it happened. My dad passed away a couple of weeks ago. It happened fairly quickly. I am sad. I feel that I am still navigating the numb phase. The phase where it has not totally sunk in just yet. I live in Colorado and my dad lived in Arizona. I am back home now...
Last time I talked about preparing for the loss of a parent. You can read that email here. This time I want to talk about preparing yourself for family dynamics. I don’t know about you but this can be a difficult topic for me. Now throw in an ill parent...
How do you prepare yourself for the loss of someone close to you, such as a parent or parent figure? It is not something I particularly like to think about, but lately, I haven’t been able to avoid it.  Recently my dad had to have major surgery. Fortunately, I was...
This is going to be a post about Dave, my husband. I wrote it, but he reviewed, made some changes and approved it. Dave and I have been together for almost 19 years now. I can’t believe it. I would be lying if I said it’s been all sunshine and roses. We have...
I can’t believe we are fast approaching another holiday season and before you know it will be 2019. Soon we will begin seeing all the year-end lists of top movies, music, books, podcasts and we will start to hear people talk about their New Year’s resolutions. This...
I was in Arizona this past month to celebrate my niece’s baby shower. My sister did a great job getting everything organized. I would be lying if I said there wasn’t a twinge of sadness that came up for me, but I felt like I was able to acknowledge it, feel it and let...
Grief has made another appearance. I have been noticing that almost every time I talk about my mother-in-law I feel like I could start to cry. I know what you may be thinking, it’s another case of an annoying in-law. Well, my mother-in-law was far from annoying. Yep,...
After listening to some episodes of the podcast Mortified, which features adults sharing the embarrassing things they wrote as kids. I decided to look through some of my old journals. I came across some entries from when I was in my mid-20s. It was interesting to...
Have you ever met someone and they seemed perfectly nice, cordial, and friendly when they greeted you, but something about them rubbed you the wrong way? Everyone else that meets this person thinks they are great, but not you. They haven’t said or done anything to...
Can you let it be? Or are you someone that feels the need to dig in, figure it out, and get to the root cause - so that you can understand the reason something happened or didn’t happen? I would say that I’ve been more the type of person that likes to dig into things,...
As an intuitive healer, I focus a lot on energy. My energy, the energy of the things, people, places around me. Everything in the universe is made up of energy. We are all made of energy and it is always changing and shifting. How aware are you of your energy? Do you...
