“I wish life would go back to normal.” I bet you have said those words at least once during the last two years. And maybe you followed that comment with, “Whatever normal is.” Did normal ever exist? Is there such a thing as normal anymore? And is abnormal the new normal? Take even a few …

But this doesn’t happen if both …

Once triggered, we react in ways that don’t serve us, harm relationships, and negatively impact situations. However, you can eliminate your triggers by learning to consciously choose the meaning you assign to just about anything. What’s …

But I remember loving the times I could see for more than a short distance. I didn’t realize, though, how much I …

I’ve never liked goodbyes. Maybe it’s because my father died suddenly when I was seven, and neither he nor I got to say goodbye. Or perhaps I simply avoid the inevitable pain that comes with leave-taking. But each time I don’t say goodbye, I cheat myself out of fully experiencing life. Goodbyes are inevitable. Yes, …

In fact, personal freedom is an internal sense of safety that allows you to show up as you…all of you…all the time. If you are wondering how to …
Personal freedom. We hear these two words mentioned so often, and the topic is on people’s minds and infused with emotion. But do you know what it means to have personal freedom?

You are a powerful creator. Look at your life. The proof is in your results. You may already realize this, but each result you achieve is one of your creations. Prosperity or debt. Good or bad health. Loving or abusive relationships. Your life’s work or a job. Happiness or sadness. All of these are results, …
Setting boundaries comes naturally to some people. To others, not so much… And while some find boundaries limiting, others experience them as enormously freeing. Which camp do you fall into?

Early in my spiritual (albeit woo-woo) education, I was taught that accidents don’t exist. More than one teacher or author stressed this fact saying, “There are no accidents,” or “There are no coincidences.” If I asked for an explanation, the reply was always the same: “Everything is happening as it is supposed to. There’s a …
