Fear – our world is ripe with it. There is no one I have ever met that does not deal with it on a regular basis. Fear will slow down or completely halt a person on their daring journey to something greater. And, journey to something greater can include a career, parenthood, a budding...
Love and compassion do not drain us, they deepens us. Are you okay with going deeper… and expanding your heart? For close to 3 years, I volunteered in Palliative Care at my (then) local hospital. We were instructed to serve the patients – help them with what they might need/want. The medical staff took...
Recently, I heard a woman expressing her heartbreak around her mother’s passing. It was difficult enough to lose her mother, but a lot of pain was coming from the fact that she was not present when her mother passed. She had stepped away to get something to eat and her mom passed while she...
Well, we are beginning a new year and I have to say that 2010 was filled with a lot of ……… experiential learning, so while it was NOT a particularly easy year (some of it really sucked), it was tasted, lived and learned. I am thinking of calling 2010 my year of NO (…and,...

I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to take part in an interesting healing group that ran for 12 weeks. One of the things we would do was to speak about the old thoughts/hurts we were carrying around, often for most of our lives, and often those which had never been shared before...
Who hasn’t heard of affirmations? They are almost a household word now because the wave of healing is slowly sweeping across North America, and the world. We are told that everything comes from thoughts – what you think manifests outwardly whether you like it or not. Will that be a tall order of Heaven...
