Guilt-Free Holidays

Like it or not, the holidays are soon upon us.  If you haven’t noticed the appearance of eggnog in your grocer’s dairy case, you no doubt have become aware of the friendly gift-giving suggestions offered through television commercials.  Apparently, we should start our Christmas shopping right after Halloween. 
While I think the retail industry’s fervor [...]

Celebrating Expansion

It’s been a delightfully crazy week for me. Four days in a row of all-new experiences that definitely challenged the paradigms within which I normally operate - and I’m a bigger, better human container for my Divine Spirit for it! It’s amazing how breaking free of safe and easy routine can shift our [...]

Goals and inner expansion

I’ve been very busy lately building my business - creating a working brand, publishing my book, working on receiving some publicity, and generally putting myself “out there.” And I definitely find that I’m pushing my own comfort zone. This weekend, I’ll be an exhibitor at a Healing Arts Fair and will actually do [...]

Spiritual Certainty

How do we ever know for sure what is real and what isn’t?  What if our belief in Spirit Guides, a Higher Self, our intuition, the Law of Attraction, past lives, and whatever else we have incorporated into our spiritual perspective is nothing but a pretty illusion that allows us to feel better, more in [...]

Is judgment all bad? I don’t think so …

Let’s face it, we are all constantly in a state of evaluating the world around us. Just by deciding what we are going to have for breakfast, we are weighing our options, dismissing those that do not appeal to us, and eventually coming to a conclusion about what to eat this morning. We [...]

Does spiritual development make us happier?

Does spiritual development make us happier? I really don’t know. I keep encountering people that think if they work hard enough on themselves spiritually, they’ll automatically have infinite abundance, the perfect relationship, fulfillment in their career, and life will be full of roses. Problems will dissipate and obstacles will be effortlessly brushed [...]

Should I go or should I stay?

Sometimes the going gets tough - in a relationship, a job, or almost any other kind of life situation. Invariably, we start to ask ourselves: “Do I still belong here?” Is now the time to throw in the towel, to jump ship, to move on? Usually, we already know the answer. [...]

In the pursuit of good enough

It is so easy to get stuck in the pursuit of perfection. We can hide our insecurities, our unwillingness to move forward, our lack of self-love, with this idea that we want to get things “perfect.” We can put off quitting our dead-end job until we’ve found the “perfect” career. We can [...]

On the path

The intentions have been set. Action towards those intentions is underway. This is the time when we’re on a path, rather than at a crossroads. We have committed ourselves towards a desired outcome, and are moving towards what we intend to create.
There is a tendency during this time to buckle down and [...]

Struggling Against Reality

At the heart of every struggle seems to be that nasty little word “should.”  We have our ideas of what our life “should” look like.  We know what we think “should” happen.  We know how we ourselves and other people “should” act.  Struggle appears whenever the reality we’ve created and our concept of what that [...]
