I’m Not Dropping Out – I’m Detoxing

Have you grown completely comfortable with your electronic appendage which has attached itself to your hand? Does it have total control over your thoughts and deeds?

If it has total control you may need to assess the relationship with your best companion and take steps to disengage and reevaluate. If it has not yet taken total control over your thoughts and deeds, it is just a matter of time before it does. If you have considered either scenario or if the thought of this appendage becoming too toxic – good for you. There’s still time to get help. Read More


Lament- Winter 1972

In these present times, where our heads are now found,
We’re watching our men, cutting all our trees down.

They’re doing a number, on poor nature’s head,
and one day we’ll wake up, to find nature dead.

Disappearing from view! – Mother Nature’s front yard,
Just thinking about it, I find it quite hard…

To fully accept our great progress path.
I come to a standstill, and give out a laugh. Read More


Wisdom of the Ages

There are so many lessons to be learned from the spirit realm. Lessons we were either unable to ‘take in’ when our parents attempted to teach us many moons ago – or lessons we were not ready to learn when our grandparents walked this earth plane wishing to share their experience and advice.

It is however, refreshing to know it is never too late to learn and yes, my dear, it is never too late to gain wisdom and guidance from those who went before us.

During a recent session my client’s mother, in spirit, comforted her daughter by apologizing for dismissing her dream – the dream her daughter had as a child, of changing the world through a heartfelt humanitarian act. Her mother explained she was not equipped, nor did she have the means to put that dream into motion, and so it was dismissed. Plain and simple. Case closed. Good news is my client never dismissed her dream, though she did bury it deep within. Read More


Receive Your Riches

Riches Abound! They arrive in many different shapes, sizes, colors and forms.

They arrive when you least expect them.

They arrive when you most need them.

They arrive when you could really use a lift.

They arrive as bonuses when your cup already runneth over.

Make a note of these riches, for they are miracles descending from the heavens. They are God’s way, our way, of reminding you that you have everything you need at your fingertips. Read More


Write It Off or Wrap It Up

This month of May, for me, could be characterized as either a write-it-off or a wrap-it-up. The beauty is, it is whatever I choose it to be. The month began with a mild backache which, within no time at all, became a full-fledged show-stopper, reducing me to a writhing and screaming in pain, flat-on-my back woman.

Thankfully I have not experienced a great deal of pain in my lifetime. This was an eye-opening experience. While I do not recall a specific situation or movement which may have triggered this, I am left wondering if this event has anything to do with our collective balance being challenged on a daily basis.

Louise Hay suggests the hips carry the body in perfect balance and serve as a major thrust in moving forward. Did the challenge to my mental balance create a perfect storm which affected my physical balance? The body is clever in that regard. Read More


Connection and Balance

Quieting the mind is no small feat especially given all the chaos which has been erupting as of late.

Patience wears thin.

Stress levels rise.

People are at odds with those they were once simpatico.

Cats on a hot tin roof.

The plug or energetic connection is plugged in then disconnected, then plugged in again and disconnected again.

The disconnection is unsettling and frustrating. Read More


What’s In Your Bag?

As the holiday season rapidly approaches you may find yourself wondering what sort of mixed bag you’ll be receiving.

Can you guess what I am referring to when I say “mixed bag?”

Many are bracing themselves, others are waiting with open arms while others have no thoughts whatsoever on the matter.

The contents of the bags which I refer to may dictate how your holidays pan out. Will they be a delight or a disaster? Read More


Cross The Road

ChickensThis cartoon I recently came across gave me pause. Yes, it demonstrates a sense of levity but it also demonstrates truth.

It got me thinking about the number of times, throughout my years of counseling, I have been asked why. Why did my loved one cross the proverbial road and leave me? Why did my loved one get sick and die? Why did I not have a chance to say goodbye?

It also got me thinking about how these whys pertain to not only our people but our animals. Loss is loss. Grief is grief. And while, at the time of the death of a loved one we may not all be like the cool, calm, collected rooster speaking at the funeral, we can take comfort in knowing that our loved one who has crossed over to the other side remains accessible and open to connect. That’s a transformation in which we can revel and find comfort. Read More


May Brings Mothers

If April showers bring May flowers, what does May bring? Mothers. May brings mothers. Many, many mothers, here and in the afterlife. Mothers offering messages. And what better way do we have to honor our mothers then to remember and celebrate them.

How do you remember and celebrate yours and does it make a difference whether they are with you in the physical form or not?

Our mothers gave us life, as their mothers gave them life and so on along our ancestral line. What a gift! One would like to believe it is only fitting to honor one’s mother in any way that reflects your gratitude and appreciation.

Conveying your gratitude can be quite simple. Read More
